Great work.

Switch seems on fire this month thanks to the bundles. November will be a decisive month.



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

So, I guess I should be following this more closely then. Great job guys and thanks for the awesome work!

So I guess so far the Switch is taking October.



Glad to see the took worked for September

September Summaries :

2) With Preorders from last months included (177.6 points/day for PS4 ; 39.2 points/day for XBO)

Overall : 1) PS4 : 503.2 points/day (1.00) ; 2) NS : 351.7 points/day (0.70) ; 3) XBO : 226.8 points/day (0.45)

Score another win for this tool!

PS4 takes September with leaked ratios from NPD of around

PS4:  1.00
NS:    0.62
XBO: 0.41

This continues to be extremely accurate tool at not only picking the winner, but also a solid ballpark estimate for the ratios of hardware sold.

Hell yeah!
Tool is awesome (even if both XB & Switch where slightly over estimated by tool).

with a base of 425k, this is what the tool predicted:
PS4 = 425k
NSW = 297k (37k over)
XB1 = 191k  (16k over)

Pretty darn close all things considered.

This is somewhat guess work from me, but I think that spikes generated by new SKU introductions sometimes distort the tool slightly.

 

This next quarter will be interesting though.  October through December was the trouble period for Amazon's accuracy due to how crazy things get so it will be interesting to see if this tool adequately compensates.



That's it, the RDR2 Pro bundle just passed the Smash bundle on Gamestop. But not sure if it's going to be enough to help PS4 win the month.
