these are the estimate we have from restera, looks like october was a very bad month for ps4, xbox1 has been selling bad the whole year. mario had to give switch at least a 50k boost.

Are those the winning numbers from the prediction thread?

Yeah based on that math, PS4+XB1 have to be around 333k which lines up with the other comments. (1m+ HW, and 666k+ Nintendo)

So Welfare thinks it was actually a ~24.5% increase instead of 24.4%? I guess that does make sense if total HW sales need to be over 1 million. Or maybe it is 24.4%, but the LTD total I have for either the PS3+360 or PS4+XBO (or both) is slightly off due to rounding or some figure from a prior month being off a bit.

So what is the PS4 vs Switch difference using these numbers? Under 100k for the year?

it doesn't matter ps4 will dominate switch in November by over 600k.

Easy there champ, no need to be a PS warrior, just asking a simple question.

lol not being a ps warrior, just saying we should be getting black Friday sales soon, october sales , and the separation are meaningless at this point.  we won't have solid reliable numbers for october for ps4/xb1  because the predictions were way off on resertera because of switch,
