Glad to see Cuphead at #13. Also Nintendo is doing amazing right now. Wonder how much the SNES classic will end up selling.

Would be amazing if Nintendo can ship enough Switch for break the million mark in November and December. I think they will be in the ~900k range though, they are not going to have much stock.

The people are waiting for greatness. Why buy a slim when a 4K beast round the corner? 

It's not like last year when the PRO launched and the sales of the base ps4 never really declined because the consumer (rightly so) saw no True difference between them. Whereas there is a significant difference in power between the X1S and XOX thus people wait for the superior product. 

Let me point to Mat Piscatella's comment:

"This late in the cycle, people that are coming into the generation as new customers are, by definition, late majority buyers (Moore's definition from Crossing the Chasm, which is essential reading for fans of console/tech sales imo). These folks are more price oriented than anything, and they're far more likely to choose a One S or Slim model than come in at a higher priced iterative model designed for the more Core audience that was likely in on this gen very early."

Those people who are waiting for the "superior" product are largely those who already own an XB1. Half of the Pro's userbase owned a PS4 prior to upgrading. Considering the even larger price disparity between the XB1S and the XB1X, the proportion of the XB1X userbase that previously owned an XB1 will likely be larger than half. It should also be noted that the PS4 has been up YOY on NPD this year, showing that the XB1X has not taken away many sales from the PS4.

XOX hasn't released yet so how would that impact ps4 sales?

Looks this thread is getting better now.

Despite the original reveal of the XB1X and pre-orders being available PS4 sales have remained consisitent. That's how.

Originally, I'd assumed the Scorpio would dominate (by what degree I couldn't say) for about 3 months and then slowly return to the norm, but with the success of the Switch -- something I DID actually think could happen -- I'm now considering a 2 month period of success, but not necessarily domination. We may even see only 1 month of domination although I'm still going to play it safe and say X1gates will only be a regular contributor for 2 months, and then he'll just be popping in when the Switch or the PS4 is temperarily out of stock to suggest the XB1 is 'killing it', as normal.

Do you think the Xbox One will take an NPD this year?

November is in the bag for sure with the XOX launching. December can go Xbox if microsoft can keep it stocked in shops.

If Nintendo can keep up with demand this holiday Xbox won't seen any NPD wins for a very long time, if ever again this generation. 



Nintendo Switch bringing peace to the PS4 vs XB1 fight here!



Pocky Lover Boy!
