Adobe also did Veteran's day and the two days before Black Friday. Switch was in the top 5 in all of them and top the day of Thanksgiving. It's the only video game system in there.

As IronmanDX noted, it is limited since Adobe was just digital, but from what Business Insider is noting as well, it seems like Switch did well at the doorbusters too. It could be enough to propel it to the top of the NPD.

That Adobe poll is also extremely suspect: somehow, on 11/22, while PS4 was $199 and literally selling out, they had PSVR in the top 5 with PS4 nowhere to be found.

That makes no sense at all.

Exactly what I was thinking.  And 4,500 retailer websites?  They must be talking WW, or pulling a number out of their ass, cause the US doesn't have 4,500 retailers with online websites.

Might want to check your memory there, buddy.  Pro was not announced at E3.  Sony had their own little conference in Sept to announce the Pro.  Then, two months later it was launched.  And many doesn't mean all.  It doesn't even have to mean a majority.  The point still stands.  The leap from PS4 to Pro was smaller, and deemed less necessary, by gamers and the company that made it.  MS, on the other hand, advertised it like the next revolution in gaming was here.

Hmm, yeah. My memory did fail me there. I blame it on your Hulk Kazogan avy. I fear that leg drop.

 
I didn't say or imply all. Surely though, if the pro was constrained and had little hype the "many" and "disgruntled" xbox one owners would have been able to hit a higher target then 600k especially so if Microsoft did in fact drum up the xbox one x as the next revolution in gaming? Surely? Or was it just a upgraded xbox one just like they said it was?

 

You can't have your cake and eat it too. They're both more expansive upgrades of existing hardware using the same software, play the same games and use the same accessories as their respective predecessors. If we can't compare them with each other then where does it end? Not comparing xbox one and ps4 with the Switch because it's a hybrid? Hell no. (Not that you're saying that but it does set precedence) The comparison is valid.

The leg drop is mighty from Kaz.

And I never said they couldn't be compared.  I just said it isn't exactly apples to apples.  Context is key.  I mean, one of the biggest things really is if Sony had some way of judging demand better, their numbers could have easily been quite a bit higher.
