December. The PS4 Battlefront bundle passed both SKUs for a very short amount of time when it was on sale for $250.

Ps codes top 2 and xbox code 3. The power of digital

Looking at some of my physical media and wondering if I can digitize it somehow so that I can get rid of it and free up some space.

The fear is real. It will be fun to watch Switch grabbing 80% of NPDs this year.

And it's an unreasonable fear: WW they're basically neck-and-neck, so it's not like anyone is getting killed here.

I know, right? I doesn't make sense. This year will be close anyway... it's like people are not satisfacted having their favorite console performing well, they also need to see others fail. It's sad really.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Best take away it seems is this month could be a toss up.  

benji data has always been bullish on switch, last time he wasn't sure if switch would win, it was  november where it got destroyed. 

You seriusly need to understand how Benji statements are.

He has a part of data for the US market, a data which is way smaller than NPD. Every time, he can not say for sure if a console won a month, that's why he is always catious with his comments.

In November, his data showed that PS4 and XB1 were way head of Switch, yet he still wanted to say Switch had a chance, for the simple fact that he know his data does not represents all market.

Same happen in December, he never said PS4 or XB1 had no chances.

Now, if he is saying that XB1 could "POSSIBLY" wins February, this mean absolutely nothing. He didn't even used words like "likely", "probabily", but possibly, in others words, he didn't even said his data show an XB1 victory.

What he said is that Switch is not doing much better than the others consoles which can suggest a big Switch victory, for what we know, his data could still show a Switch victory (even if small), in any case, the main point is:

Can we really get so much about a "possibly" XB1 victory, when Benji also said Switch could have possibly won December and PS4 could have won December?

 

No, i mean , XB1 can win February, of course he can, but we knew this even before Benji comment. Now, it would have been interesting if he would have said: "XB1 will likely win February", but if he only said that is "possible" for XB1 to win, then yeah... pretty much nothing to discuss, since "possibly" could be just as possibly as Switch winning November or PS4 winning December.

 

Conclusion: I'm not diminish Benji as a source, as you did in the past, what i'm saying is that his last dichiaration really does not tell much to us. He said that Switch is not doing much better than the others consoles and that XB1 has a chance of winning the month, something that, after January results, was already clear.

Wait. Why are people saying that Switch and PS4 are about even worldwide? That is not even remotely true.

Pretty much this. I wonder if Nintendo will up their game in March and especially April which is the launch month of Labo and the start of a new fiscal year.

Btw, did you try to englishfy dichiarazione? xD

  • #100 PS4 Pro SWBFII Bundle
  • #123 PSVR Skyrim Bundle (Currently Out Of Stock)
Looks like Sony needs to focus on bundles that offer the full PSVR expereince. Oculus Rift + Touch remains in stock, and in the top 100. PSVR models without the Move controllers, are not moving well at all. Still a lot of hardware in the top 100, will be very interesting to see where things truly stand once we get some NPD numbers. Til tomorrow O/

 



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

So the alleged Switch bias is just in the U.S. or globally as well? Cause Switch is the top selling hardware on Amazon in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and the U.S.
