PS4/XBO/NS - 2017 vs. 2018: Final Results!!!

[PAOerfulone]

November 10th/Week 45 numbers have been added.

Now we’re really in gear for the holidays as last year, week 45 was the launch of CoD: WWII and the Xbox One X... And unfortunately for the Xbox One this year, it shows.
The lead that it has taken the Xbox One 2018 to build over 2017 throughout the entire year has almost completely vanished. And with the X’s launch last year boosting sales considerably, once 2018 loses the lead, it ain’t gettin’ it back.

For the PS4, this week sees its biggest drop YoY as it is now dangerously close to falling behind by 2 million units. And based on what latest reports and rumors are saying about Black Friday, not even week 47 (Black Friday week ) with the $199 Spider-Man-Slim bundle will do much to offset the loss. Now we’re beginning to see, more and more, that 2017 was truly the peak of the PS4.

Finally, there’s the Nintendo Switch. While it was down once again this week compared to last year, that is insignificant to the fact the next hardware update will have the release of Pokemon Let’s Go. And based on Japan’s media create numbers for that werk the Switch sales for week 46 should skyrocket. Furthermore, with reports just coming in from Nintendo themselves that the Switch had the best selling Black Friday weekend from the 22nd to 26th (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) in the company’s history, even topping the likes of the Wii and DS, the Switch rocketship has completely lifted off and is shooting for the stars in deep space. It’s all but certain that out of the three systems, the Switch will be the only one up YoY.
