Xenoblade Chronicles 2 just entered the best sellers of 2017 chart. It's at 97 place. It's just so stirring :')

Considering Skyrim Switch is very consistenly in front of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I wonder when that one will enter the charts. Just dance 2018 Switch could also have a chance entering the charts since it keeps a good performance (ha!) here

What are rough estimates as of now for dec predictions? Assuming no more ps4+x1 deals like BF week

It's more or less settled into what I expected, with the Switch leading, the PS4 continuing strongly and the XB1 falling off. Come January, we'll start to get a much clearer picture of the state of things.

But..but the X was supposed to make the Xbone king in the US again!  The internet told me so!

:P

Who on the internet told you so?



Skyrim has been constantly sticking around the top 30 throughout the month.
Even though we don't have official numbers, I think this will be the best selling 3rd party game for the Switch by a decent margin.

It's a big contender to that title. However, Just Dance 2018 is doing about as well, so this might be a toss-up until after the holiday season (where Just dance sales usually tank hard)

Mario keeps dominating Amazon.

Do we even know what info he has access to? Wasn't he the one saying the consoles were so close last month, any of them could win? I don't think his info correlates with the country very well.

If Amazon and Gamestop are any thing to go by, Switch will be #1 this month, followed not too far behind by PS4, with the XBO coming in a distant 3rd.  They both have the 2 Switch SKUs in the lead, with 2-3 PS4 SKUs not too far behind. 

Of course, we'll have to see the affect B&M stores have, since last month they gave PS4 a huge victory. 

I believe he has access to half the Best Buy sales in the country. If true it correlates as much if not more than these charts. He said Xbox and PlayStation would be very close and that apears true. At one point he said any could win but thought Nintendo would be last. He mentioned a few times PS4 was doing best. At one point he even said there was a decent chance switch wouldn't break 1 million.

 

   So everything he said was right besides when he said any of the 3 could win, but even that statement usually came with a ' but Nintendo probably 3rd).

I doubt he's that high up that he can see nationwide data for Best Buy.  Maybe a region, but not the whole country. 

And he said all 3 were close.  The Switch sold half of what the PS4 did, making a ~800K gap.  And the gap between the PS4 and XBO was ~200K-300K (best case scenario it is only a 100K gap.)  His info is not good when comparing it to the whole of the US.  I'd also imagine that when it comes to video games, BB makes up an extremely small % of sales.  And I'm going to guess it's much smaller than Amazon's.  There is a reason they bought Twitch.
