Uh, no?

The standard one has always been $299. This year has an option for a $199 version, but only for part of the year and the main game the Lite will be sold on JUST came out. Give it time. That 9.8% growth gap is going to explode in the next few months in my opinion.

The let’s go bundle was $399. And I was referring to the same week that let’s go launched. Of course it will see an increase in the upcoming weeks.

u have the links?

Switch is about to kick Xbox into 3rd Place.

The Let's Go Bundle was $100 more than the standard console even though it is a $60 game? I'm confused if that was the case.

It also came with the Pokeball accessory which was $50 on its own.

Wow, PS4 is down an abysmal 45% from the same week last year. I guess its sales are collapsing.

Oh wait, Black Friday is one week later this year, so that comparison makes no sense. Let's Go released one week before Black Friday, Sword and Shield released two weeks before. Obviously the week closer to Black Friday has an advantage in sales.

PS4 and XBO both seem to slide more and more the more the year comes to an end. I think it might be that the knowledge that the next gen is coming next holiday season has more and more people holding off their console buying and rather wait for the successor. I wouldn't call it collapsing, just receding at an increasing rate.



Speaking of ratios, how neglectful of me to forget to mention: Switch outselling Vita 37,735:1

Interesting, only 9.8% growth compared to last year even if the system was selling at $199/299 this year compared to $299/399 last year on the pokemon release week.

Are you tlaking about USD? Switch was launched at $299. Where did you get that 399 from?

He means the pokemon lets go bundle with the game and the pokeball all in one box.

Pretty misleading (deliberately so I expect) to compare the price of a console + game + controller bundle last year to the price of the console alone this year.



I really didn't think the Switch would pas the Xbox One until early next year. The combination of the harsher decline in ales than I expected plus the Switch and Pokemon really caught me off guard.
