Reading this it sounds like PS4 "won" NPD.
More importantly it makes the 24th month - two years - that Xbox has "won" an NPD.
With the last one being November of 2016.

I find that interesting because I would have guessed(and probably did actually) that wouldn't happen. I expected the switch and ps4 to "steal" from each other having so many niche(ish) games in common. Instead it seems they actually are amplifying each other.

Instead of splitting the vote so to speak, they are multiplying each other. Instead of say going from 1.00 to .75, they are instead both at 1.25. Or at least that is how it feels.

I just didn't see that happening.

In the grand scale of things does that really matter?

For example, when we look at YTD 2018 (Janruary to November, 11 months), that total is higher than the same time period in 2016 (Janruary to November 2016).

And Xbox won four NPD's during that 2016 period, and came dead last almost every month this year. Just putting things into perspective.

You expected PS4 and Switch to steal off each other based on niche japanese games that have little to no impact here? You serious?



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
