72.5k a week? Pretty damn good better than sept as a 5w vs a 4w. And SMO released in the last 2 days... Itll carry over in Nov

yea but mario sold a million in 3 days, next month mario wont sell anywhere near as much.

Who is that guy

Anyways, this should be updated to the OP and listed as rumor.

He's probably the only member of GAF/ERA other than Mat Piscatella that still has access to NPD data. CosmicQueso used to, but didn't have access starting last year.

October is always a fight between xbone and ps4, but switch is a new console, that just recently has good stock, launching with a gigantic title, so in context it's not impressive, and you look at predictions threads, nobody expected sales this low. ps4 would some times sell 450-500k in a month where it saw a huge title released. september 2014 for example ps4 sold 538k units with  destiny's release. 

XBO - 329k oct 2016

XBO: 303k oct 2015

Either way you're being overly negative for no reason, not only are you calling a win thats comparable to PS4/XBO best Oct unimpressive, you're also making things up. The post you linked says just a little under 300k yet you posted it did under 290k.
