| noshten said: My predictions were way off Sounds like Sony is not manufacturing that many PS4s and Microsoft is flat at best. Nintendo seemingly ran out of enough stock to see huge growth but Switch is basically selling what they can ship, so the shipped numbers for the quarter will be very close to sell-through to consumers. This will give us a good basis for what to expect in Q3 in terms of per month sales. Software sales are fantastic for TLOU2 and for Animal Crossing and other evergreen games. Still can't believe GTA isn't on the Switch, the game would instantly be a million-seller. Considering new consoles were announced it was a matter of time that stock would run out. The current situation in manufacturing & supply chains right now means that Sony can't manufacture enough PS4 and PS5 simentenously. Nintendo cant scale-up manufacturing as fast as they would probably want for hardware and Ring Fit Adventure. While with Microsoft they don't need to manufacture that many X1 to begin with so they are probably seeing some growth YoY across all markets but are ready to transition to the new gen hence X1X is no longer being produced. We shall see when the official numbers come out but this is what I'm reading from the NPD PR. |
NPD Resetera Estimate for June(5 Weeks)
[NSW]: 513K

NPD Resetera Estimates for May(4 Weeks)
[NSW]: 530K
[PS4]: 156K
[XBO]: 151K
June average per week result
[NSW]: 102.6K
[PS4]: 40K
[XB1]: 23K
May average per week result
[NSW]: 132.5K
[PS4]: 39K
[XB1]: 37.75K
My bad prediction
[NSW] 666K(+154K)
[PS4] 300K(+100K)
[XBO] 200K(+85K)
Overall Switch supply was down, Microsoft not sure if it's the demand or lack of stock, while Sony kept around the same amount of stock on the shelves.
Looking at the current results in terms Japan, expect July Switch supply to be up again, interested how the PS4 and XBO do now that the next-gen is revealed.
