Forums - Sales Discussion - October 2017 NPD Thread! Switch #1

  • Console software: $447 million (down 20 percent from $556 million)
Really surprised by this. Even taking into account the growing Switch market and digital, software sales fell by one fifth!?
Is the US console market badly ill or something? What can the loss come from?

Last year had Battlefield release. 



So no estimates yet again..!!!



Did GT have a small window for sales in the month? Don't remember its release date. Seems bizarre to see it below Forza. Wonder if we'll see a SFV situation where a poorly designed launch kills the potentially great legs everyone assumes it will have?



Shadow of War above Mario? Talent lost.

Mess at Forza beating GT Sport. Talent won.

GT Sport has such bad word of mouth,  I'm kinda doubting it'll have good legs.

GTS had 11 days of tracking.



Do we even know if it was PS4 > XB1? Or the answer was obvious and no one leaked them?

I think you just answered your own question.

This October is actually better than both 2014 and 2015. Last year was exceptionally high cause of battlefield one and it's Xbox bundles.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
