Please, tell us - what will happen in the next months?

You will switch your narrative according to the situation

And my narrative is? That the PS4 will outsell the Switch?

So if the Switch wins December, will you congratulate the switch, or would you excuse the PS4?

I don't get what the argument here is about. The PS4 won November. Its up YOY and so is the XB1. The NS did great too. Everyone should be happy.

If anything, a better discussion should be by how much did the PS4 win over the NS. Why that is relevant is that this win could negate every single monthly win the NS has had over the PS4 leading up to November. Kinda a big deal as some expected that on its first holiday period the NS would destroy the competition going off how its been winning NPDs of late. Well, that didn't happen.

Switch did very well this year and will continue to do so, but there’s no chance in hell it’ll beat the PS4 this year with all those huge exclusives coming out.

I meant just for December. Sorry for that confusion.

PS4 is a beast. I wonder if it will beat the Wii LT. I think it has a big chance.

in the US? I don't think it's likely. According to VGC only 33% of PS4's are sold in the USA. as Opposed to the 45% of the Wii.

Basically PS4 would have to sell 136.5m+ globally, assuming it's market ratio by region remains the same.

You’re forgetting the price difference.

What exactly am i forgetting and how does it change what i said?

Oh, I dunno - wouldn’t it be odd that the beast that is the Switch doesn’t outsell the PS4’s first year despite being $100 less?

28% of people voted for Switch to win in the NPD prediction thread and only 26% of people voted Switch to win in Tbones 1st/2nd/3rd thread. Seems like only a minority thought it would dominate last month.

But ya PS4 likely erased all of Switch previous month leads, it had an amazing month.
