December-The Crew

PS4 had a ton of huge games in 2014. Nov alone had Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed & Grand Theft Auto, thats huge.

I forgot about the Jan Direct, but there's absolutely nothing to suggest that either Metroid or Pokemon will see a 2018 release except for the 3DS Pokemon port rumour we got a few months back. I guess I was trying to say that we will see a significant decrease in YOY sales next year.

That's interesting. Do you have a source for this? I was under the impression the Wii U sold well for at least 3 months before Nintendo considered it wasn't doing as well as the Wii.

I'm pretty sure it sold almost a million in it's launch month. If you're excluding March, Nov would obviously have the highest sales of any preceding month.

In sales for this month vs. their competition, admittedly worded poorly. 
There is clearly interest in the Switch, but a lot of people tend to go for discounted items, like PS4 for instance 

You are correct that Metroid & Pokemon could miss 2018 but looking at their track record of making announcements close to release we could easily get some major games at the Jan Direct & E3. Some examples include Smash Bros, Animal Crossing or 2D Mario which are all capable of selling over 10 million.

And NPD January 2013 (3rd month on market) has Wii U at 57k while Media Create had it dropping to under 10k shortly after launch.

Switch did more last month than Wii U did in Nov 2013+2013+2015 combined.

This may actually be a good thing for Nintendo, though their stock may drop and some developers still on the fence might lose confidence.

This was an uphill battle, everyone knew that.  PS4 and XBX have been seasoned for a lot longer, so when these new versions and price cuts hit, nothing was stopping this onslaught.  PS4 at $200?  Heck yeah.  Nintendo probably should have had a 2 day price drop on the Switch to $250, but in the end it probably won't be needed.

Key points:

1) With strong Black Friday numbers, Sony puts off creating a portable version to combat Switch, thinking interest in the product may be waning

2) Nintendo still has all the plans for next year that have yet to be revealed and new 3rd party dedications to help push the console

3) Pokemon plans will probably be more robust than some expect

4) This is the primary PS4 push before the end of the lifecycle - those who have stayed away from PS4 are getting their systems now

5) Tortoise and hare scenario where Nintendo represents the tortoise.  Month on Month average better than the Black Friday discounted rush.

6) Word of mouth will spread with more systems purchased, more games launched

7) Switch has already won Japan

In short, Nintendo has to fight hard yet another year and exceed the industry's expectations again to pull off full market penetration.

Are we all going t just pretend that the switch isn't only like 6 months old an "competing" with 4 year old consoles? 

Or that its being compared to a first holiday of other consoles that came over a year after they had released and that while one of those consoles saw discounts they were still both more expensive than the $300 asking price of the switch.

I am not saying the thing is failing or going to fail. I am saying that  all things considered I saw no reason why it wouldn't have sold more even at the current pricing. Which is why I predicted it comes second in november with over 1300K sales.

I mean, two of the biggest IPs on any nintnedo platform have already made a showing on the hardware.... and say next year nintendo drops the price to what? $250 and include a game? (which is something i don't see nintendo doing to be honest) are people here really suggesting that going from $299 to $249 is all the push that is needed?

There originally were estimated numbers for each console.

Well, another reason why there are so many comments is because the Switch is in 3rd place, behind the PS4 and XB1.

To the first line, Isn't the 3rd or 4th year the prime years for majority of consoles. The fact it is actually able to compete is some what impressive, this was the same DOA console that actually seemed to get things right and hitting its stride, and now people are saying 800,000 in November is bad?

To the second line, Can also go the other way, since it is hybrid, the fact it actually beating 3DS/Vita at higher price point shows that it is indeed healthy.

It is all about value in the end, if consumers perceive value. For example: I thought PS4 at 399.99 has/had more value than 299.99 Switch, I bought both at launch. I think the Switch is tad bit overpriced, while I had no issue 399.99 PS4 pricing at the time. Also note Xbox One had games bundled in to also sweeten the pot with the price tag of 329.99, only reason it beat PS4 at 399.99 in my eyes. 

The thing is, these consoles are priced competitively to their value. We live in age where $1,000 Phone can easily beat $500 Phones, because of perceived value, and we still compare there market shares both unit and revenue. 

Third Line, I thought it might do more as well (My prediction was 1 million), however I do not remotely consider 800,000 bad numbers or failing. The issue is a lot of people in this thread are treating like switch is just going to disappear it this stage. One person even said it would do less than the gamecube (posted in another thread, but also posted in here similar lines). 

Fourth line, while I do not know if can keep up full momentum of being or beating 14 million in FY 2018-2019. I think it should still have healthy 10-12 million, Yes I do expect a price cut, and I do expect more solid games. The biggest title for it has yet to come out, which is Pokemon.  Also just going for $299.99 to $249.99 alone will not cut it, it will need solid library as well, which I believe it will have. 

where was it stated switch was 900K? you're making things up now.
