Its only a few online retailers but still good for the Switch.

That's impressive. Just imagine if the Switch actually had a price cut xD.



Maybe they were taking photo's from stock displays and determining that way what was really selling. Totally not anecdotal nonsense that we saw yesterday.

If this is prediction it would be mentioned that it's prediction, Adobe tracks some of the largest online retailers and bases its figures off that.

Then that makes it a well informed prediction but a prediction none the less.

Ok so is this the "Predictions" or the "Actuals" it's difficult to say because I can't find where that image comes from. As has been stated though this is only about online sales not instore, so perhaps that should be added to the title.

Based off of Zhuge this isnt 100%. Its more of predictions i guess? He did say this is a positive sign.

That said no matter what all 3 companies sold well (at least online from what i can tell)



I'd call it an analysis rather than a prediction. The sample size is enormous. Unless there is a software glitch, they shouldn't be all that far off.

Thanks! See, this is the kind of context I was looking for.



PJ Masks is selling well... heaven help the youth of this world, I have watched that with my nephew and the characters while trying to give lessons are still awful and children should not try to emulate.

Oh its 2017, at least the Switch doesn't suck.

Sample size is less important than how representative that size is. It says there that their entire sample size is from digital purchases. I would expect online and in-store purchasing trends to vary. Depends on how they adjust for that though.
