RIP is not something which can be said about the dominating Console since 2013, with almost 90M units sold, with GOW4  Goty in 2018 which makes the best looking Game on Switch...looking like a Sega MegaDrive Game...be more kind with the absolute queen of this generation :D

 Ok that's just my irony, but really this ""RIP"" should never be paired with the word "PS4", unless you wanna people start laughing.

 

Calm down Charlie Brown. All 3 sold well and dedicated gaming systems are here to stay. A good month for all 3.

I'm very calm Mr. Bean, of course all 3 consoles sold very well.  That was not my point.

Yeah, off course, it sold 75% better compared to last year without any price cut offcourse its bigger winner. Despite PS4/XB4 are 5 years od consoles they are doing great hole year, and both this year had great deals for Black Friday and huge game launch.

It was expected that Switch will do around 1.3m, but that doesnt make numbers that Switch done less impressive.

You are about to take this somewhere else....... I NEVER said what the NS did wasn't impressive. I said it was expected. 

And you are talking about the NS as if it didn't have deals at all through novemeber. GS for instance was selling it at $299 with MK8 and a $50 gift card.

I'm saying that the NS did as expected. I even admitted that I shouldn't have dropped my initial 1.3M prediction by around 100k. I'm also saying that it was expected that the other two consoles would be down.

Great result for all 3, but Switch is biggest winner here, it sold +75% better than last year, also only console that didnt had price cut.

PS4: 1470k -13%
Switch: 1356k +75%
XBO: 1338k -3%


What are YTD numbers?
If I recall Switch has very good chance to be best selling console of year.

Biggest winner? lol...... I think everyone expected the PS4/XB1 to be down YOY. They are ver 5yrs old after all. That they are only down by 13% and 3% is what I find surprising. 

it did as it was expected to do. I guess you were right and I should have left my prediction at 1.3M for the switch instead of dropping it by 100k.

Wouldnt you agree that if something is 75%+ YoY is the biggest winner? Not sure what's funny about that.

YTD

PS4-4.52m

NSW-3.85m

XBO-3.44m

So PS4 currently leads for 670k,

Switch should not have any problem taking year, Switch should have around 2m December, and PS4 will probably be below 1.2m.

2M is probably a lock, flirting with 2.5M is definately not impossible.

That was so close. Rip in advance for PS4 and XBX1 in December.

Really interesting thing is what these numbers mean for the worldwide totals. PS4 could have done around 3M in november. And the NS around 2.5M and the XB1 around 2M

US+Japan November (NPD+Media Create)

NSW-1.84m (1355k+485k)

PS4-1.55m (1470k+80k)

I know Europe/RotW are Sony land but I would still think the WW Nov gap is a bit closer than 500k.

Thats true.... the PS4 EU+ROW numbers is usually around 20%+ more than whatever its NA numbers are. But yh, a 300k gap seems more likely.

Looks like SONY still has some serious PS4 stock issues. Or they only wanted to sell that many for 200$. Still managed to win.

As i said before.... I feel sony only shipped exactly 1M of those SM $199 PS4s.

I find it funny whenever percentages are used to talk up numbers. It sounds like something PR teams would do. 

I am going to stop talking about this though..... at the end of the day it still did around what I estimated it would do anyways.



I'll update the thread when i have time.

Hardware results:

PS4 ~ 1478K
NSW ~ 1356K
XB1 ~ 1342K
3DS ~ 258K

Exactly what I think. It seems that Sony want to make profit right now.



Meh......

Good job today Ryng tolu.
