How much Odyssey will sell FW (October NPD). I say below 900k, he says more.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

What did they have for previous years that makes this year seem slim and stale?

You can go through previous years bestsellers and look for yourself, since I can't be bothered having to list them all right now.

It shouldn't be that hard to see, unless you can point out which new games this year are going to be big hits, or which sequels aren't either suffering from franchise fatigue or controversy.

i mean you couldn't think of 1 thing? Well of course they still have COD WW 2( even if the games are suffering from fatigue still a good bundle to sell) this year and Star Wars BF2 so those are 2 good bundles. GT will definitely sell and move a few units. When HZD FW comes out they can release a new PS4 bundle with HZD complete basically with a good price. And they still have the other games that have already released like Nioh, Nier, Crash trilogy etc and they have plenty of options.

I admire your optimism. We'll see I guess.

Hmm. Selling more than 900k in two days will be extremely difficult.

All the latest PS4 bundles have been charting very low. I don't know if it's PS4 market saturation at those prices and it needs a price cut.

I said this a while back and I was laughed at. PS4 has reached its market cap. The PRO could have helped but the half-step did nothing to draw in gamers.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 550k in 2 days(April NPD) and Nintendo Switch at 1.18million hardware

Current LTD for Switch is above 2million. July Nintendo switch was sitting at 1.7million + no.1 in august and unknown place in September. So based on the lowest possible baseline Switch is certainly above 2million now.

By the time Odyssey release date Switch is probably around 2.2-3million and Super Mario Odyssey only needed to sell around 40-45% of Nintendo Switch LTD Hardware for 900k opening week in 3 or 4 days depend on October's tracking month.

I think it's more than likely for Odyssey to open above 900k in the first week that's without taking SMO budle into the consideration here.

What reality to you live it? If THREE PS4 Pros in the top 100 (highest at 47/ higher price) is doing NOTHING to draw in gamers, what is having ONE XB1 in the top 100 (at 62/ lower price)? You are definitely Crapgamer.
