So everyone so far expects the PS4 to outsell the Switch?

I think the Switch probably outsold it, the Destiny bundle didn't exactly light the world on fire and Switch seemed to have a good amount of supply on hand. 

Only at the end of the month. I don't know if that will be enough.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

September NPD video game software sales rose 31%, says Piper Jaffray
September NPD video game software sales were up 31% year-over-year due to the launch of Destiny 2 from Activision Blizzard (ATVI), the second biggest title of the month, Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson tells investors in a research note. He notes the top title for the month was NBA 2K18 from Take-Two Interactive (TTWO). The analyst says Activision is tracking well ahead of his estimates and consensus, while Electronic Arts (EA) and Take-Two are slightly lagging. Olson keeps an Overweight rating on all three names.

Either NBA 2K is a BEAST franchise, or Destiny sputtered. Of course, both could be true.

As a reminder, in the game's launch week Destiny 2 was down 58% at retail in the UK from 417k to 175k. Of course the growth of digital since 2014 will have compensated that somewhat, but it's probably fair to assume that Destiny 2 was down quite a lot in the UK and in the US as well.
