No updates?



Mat Piscatella has written in twitter:

"Eh, late note for the release, but Nintendo Switch hardware drove the highest unit sales for a September month since the PlayStation 4 in September 2014. Great month for Switch."

I understand it as less than PS4-Sep-14 (538k) but more than PS4-Sep-18 (421k).

421k < NSW < 538k

Not very accurate but that is what we have.



Switch continues to kill it.

Gears 5 debuting at #7 was surprising considering GamePass.

Anthem is one of the best selling games of 2019 😬

Top selling games of the last year for each console, MicroSony both loaded with multiplats and one exclusive, Nintendo beasting with 9 exclusives and Spyro. Truly a unique console.



Yayyy no numbers again

We're probably never getting numbers again. NPD has deemed them top secret and off-limits to the public, and they've successfully silenced all the leakers. Unless a bunch of people pitch in for the $10,000 to buy a report or an actual competitor crops up (maybe we'll get lucky and Famitsu opens up a U.S. branch), then it's over. The best we have are the "best guess" hardware estimates from the Era threads. Truly a sad time for people who enjoy discussing game sales.

Imagine a kickstarter to get the numbers when the new gen starts

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It's nice to see Catherine place in the top 20.

Also, DQ11 switch failed to place in the top 20 at all and barely made the top 10 list of Switch games. It debuted at number 11 last year on PS4. Seems like a likely bomb so far in the West.

Sad, because DQXI is a great game. I hoped more Switch players would buy it.

Vouchers, very very late in Sept, very very late port. A likely bomb might be a loose term here.

Why is this? Like what is their benefit? This is like polling companies refusing to release data on which politician gets what percentage. Nonsense!
