Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2016 NPD Thread! Hardware estimates in the OP!

I don't even know how you can take a source like this, and even expect it to be possible.

Ps4 won Bf, sold more than Xone all november month (if we look at the best sellers), and The pro was here, and nearly always out of stock.

And she won only by 100k ? Yeah right. and of course, this rumor pop just after we know ps4 won, not before, talk about coincidence.


Let's wait the only reliable source, Aquamarine...if he's still alive.

Where have you been in the last couple months? Because XONE streak also hurt quite a few people. 

 

No surprise! People will get hurt no matter who wins. 

What about the Nintendo fans? 

 

Hello darkness my old friend.... 

The Switch is coming soooo our expectations were quite low. Like we shouldn't be expecting the Wii U and 3DS to reach PS4 and XONE level. Same with the PSvita as well. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

If Xbox only lost by 100k in spite of the Pro, the new Slim, and PSVR? I'd call that a win for Xbox. Glad to see them keep the price down starting tomorrow! I might have to get my hands on one of those gray ones. It looks awesome.

I don't know how many ps4 sold on black firday or NPD and how much is the difference between xbox

Sources claim  that 3DS is massively yoy up, the only one console to be yoy up ( Not unexpected, New 3ds for 99$ in Black Friday, Pokemon S/M+ Pokemo go) and a famous twitter persona who hasn't been very positive and fair regarding 3DS sales, posted that 3DS was on fire in november npd... So imagine! If this rumor about just 1m XB1 and 1.1m PS4 in november is valid, don't be surprised if 3ds came close to them! 

New 3ds xl is almost sold out everywhere and still hasn't been restocked.  Nintendo's inventory must have been depleted and they have to produce more to replenish the shelves and meet the relatively tremendous demand for 3ds in its 6th year.

Nintendo is too much insecure, they saw all that Pokemon go effect and they only increased their FY16 forecast by 1m, 5m->6m, when 3ds is on track to beat 2014 and 2015, when they shipped  7.63m and 7.9 respectively.

I hope Nintendo's undershipping or inability to produce/ship enough won't prevent 3DS to sell more in 2016, than it sold in 2014 and 2015.



Is Vgchartz quite close at the real numbers when it comes to November? Because I think the PS4 is around 600k with 1-3 weeks missing

Oh I didnt know that! 

I was also worried that the 3DS would be quite down as well but Pokemon Go + SM got me thinking.

What?

Do you remember how much it sold last November...? It didn't have any discount and there weren't enounh New models because of big stagnant old models stock. This year it's  fully New 3ds/xl.

Also, you follow amazon ranking, New 3ds xl was perfoming exceptionally till to get sold out....

3DS was yoy up in october, that was the 4th or 5th consecutive month to by yoy up after Pokemon go! Nintendo released a 99$  new 3ds for black friday and for the first the time the coveted black new 3ds in the USA, Pokemon S/M broke records of course thanks to Pokemon go... Why then, did you expect 3ds to  be quite down?

Switch? Most people don't deem it to be 3ds successor but wii u's, not unjustly! Plus that Nintendo calls it a home system first and foremost and noted that they  will keep pushing 3DS... I agree with that. Switch the home console with a commodity that lets you to carry it out or move to another room inside your home and keep playing without a tv.

it remains vague if switch replaces 3DS too.

Just because it's also a handheld console, it doesn't mean that it's 3ds successor! 3DS might get its own, ( they could still have shared game library with switch),  unless Nintendo can sell switch standalone at 199$ and for  less, later. They could make a switch version to be for switch what 2ds if for 3ds.

If 3ds had a different successor, I would like something like these... That's 3ds x tablet.
