Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2017 NPD Thread! PS4 > XBO > Switch

flashfire926 on 14 December 2017

"Aside from the PlayStation 4, this is also thanks to the popularity of the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft’s Xbox One, which also had a record month that outsold any other month life to date."

So this is the best month for xbox one in US, period. Not just best November.



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.

CoD generated the most revenue in the series. Glad to see CoD still going strong.

PS4 > XB1 in units

Both the PS4 and XB1 also had their best months in units this generation. If I'm right that means PS4 > 1582k and XB1 > 1511k

Edit: Article got updated to say XB1 didn't have it's best month, but best November. So XB1 > 1296k (seeing some people say >1376k, but from what I can find that was December 2015)

Yup, was looking at the wrong cell. >1.296M <1.511M for XB1.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Woah, Injustice 2 is over Horizon? I mean I know Horizon is only on one console but I didnt expect the Injustice 2 to sell this good. Fighting games are niche in sales. I really want to see its numbers.

Who cares if Xbox made more revenue, doesn’t mean it made more profit. Both x and s are sold at loss according to reset era.



Pionner on 14 December 2017

Revenue was added to make everybody look like they're doing well. You can see from NPD headlines around the net, haha. This isn't the first time a hardware sold less but made more for the month, yet nothing was made of it. All we got was who sold the most hardware.

Too bad we won't get numbers anymore since the people who leaked them are on the new site.

Well it's official PS4 sold more consoles, Xbox had more revenue.

When they have a new release with pre-orders and selling about 650k at 500USD it was likely that MS would have the highest revenue. But yes this confirms the ranking and some of the numbers.

So the numbers are even higher than what we had before... and no Switch numbers...

All those because bickering about the original leaks will probably be mute because the confirmed numbers doesn't favor the point they were making.

Some more precise estimates:

PS4 > 1.582m (up 40% YoY and best month ever)
XBO > 1.376m (up 40% YoY and best November ever)

Very strong numbers and even higher than not only expectations but also the leaks.

No what? X1 and Switch won't fight for 2nd? So will PS4 fight with X1 for second and Switch will certainly get 1st place without even having a fight with PS4?

There are some users here that go to resetera and bring numbers... the genesis of this month thread came from leaks on resetera.
