Everyone expecting Swith to obliterate PS4 this holiday season because what happened in December last year.....,are understimating PS4 again..., like always. Last year was last year, it had fewer stock and their main bundle was the failure Battlefront II was, XB X just launched and it was the first holiday for Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 DX and Mario Odyssey. Now PS4 have RDR 2, COD BOPS 4, Spiderman, GOW, ....and it seems there is a lot more stock.

In my opinion PS4 is bound to have a record November NPD possibly around 2M sales, probably selling aroun 500k more than Switch that month and in December I expect PS4 way up YOY, so yes, Switch will win December because Smash and Pokemon but the difference won't be enough to surpass PS4. I won't be surprised if PS4 ends selling more NOV+DEC combined than Switch...

 

 

edit: And by the way, Switch won't reach 20M, not even close....Switch is no Wii. If it ends with 17M it will be a success.

They just never stop underestimating the ps4 do they. Year 5 it's still full steam ahead year 6 will be the same. It has sold well at 299 all year. The console could sell for the next 5 years if they wanted. Only thing stopping it is the ps5.

Xbox had a LOT of promotions last month too, some the likes I've never seen with consoles and they still came up short. At least they're up YoY though.

Microsoft always go hard with the promos whenever a big ps4 pusher launches. It must really eat into their profit margins having to aggressively promote the xbox everytime a game like spiderman or rdr2 launches that sells ps4 without price promotions.
