| StarDoor said: Well, I'm sure you'll be disappointed to learn that Switch's December sales in Japan are already ahead of November by 107%, and there's still one week left. And if you've looked at the Amazon thread this month, then you'd also know that Switch has had a much bigger increase in December than either PS4 or Xbox One got, seeing as how Switch is the best-selling console of the month. Also, in what world should 3D Mario push Switch to the top in November? I mean, have you ever looked at the sales of these games? Their lifetime sales generally fall between 10 and 13 million, and they reach those numbers because of their legs, not their launches. No one with even slightly reasonable expectations should think that Switch would sell more worldwide than PS4 in November, a month that is much stronger for PlayStation and Xbox than it is for Nintendo, when Switch is in its first year and PS4 is in its best year yet. |
These things aren't that straight forward.
XB1 won November as far as amazon is concerned. Still lost NA and even more so lost the world.
As for that 100%+ boost you are talking about in japan... that means fuck all being that you are talking about japan. Just look at this week charts numbers as a point of reference. NS did 100k in japan..... but then lost NA and EU to the PS4 by almost 200k each (and its not like the PS4 isn't selling at all in japan either). It doesn't mean shit if you are very strong in one territory then come second or last in the other three territories (NA, EU and ROW). Just ask MS to see how that goes.
