And Bayonetta, and Octopath Traveller, and Shin Megami Tensei V, and Metroid Prime 4, and Megaman 11, and so on.And dont forget whatever else Nintendo will reveal in January!

none of those are system sellers.

Those are system sellers for me.  Who are you to tell me what games not to want for a system?

Didn't PS4 and Xbox One sold almost the same if not more than Switch with higher price on their second November?

About the same sale wise Xbox one did better. Xbox one at 329 was near switches price on black Friday but had two games in some cases bundled in. PS4 had bundles 2 games and or gift cards but was still at the same price as launch. 

Switch really did not do either tactic.

xbone did 1.2 million.

If someone asks why I'm using an alt account, CGI and Truckusaurus got me a temp approval until I get my iconic and notorious "kurasakiichimaru" account back. :p

Thats still just analysis from Mizuho Securities Equity Research, that still isn't official NPD result, even if is relly based on NPD PR they received today.

When NPD release official NPD results we will have real NPD thread.

 

And this is from that Resetera thread:

Mizuho has just sent the latest update on US/Japan console games sales to their clients, they usually use NPD numbers.

My source is a report from Mizuho Securities Equity Research, they send monthly update on US/Japan console game sales to their clients . Sorry I wouldn't be able to upload the actual report so you'll have take my words for it..just want to shed some light in the prediction thread :)
So in other words there is no nothing oficial about this informations that you provided, not alone official NPD informations or numbers.

Doesn't NPD get mad if anyone leaks any info before they disclose it? They could just be covering their bases. If these numbers are true, it doesn't matter where it comes from especially. Don't people use leakers from forums as sources for this stuff anyway?

Thats a point, we dont have any official infos that this actually based on NPD numbers. Maybe this information and numbers are true, but that isn't point, fact is that this are not official NPD infomrations and numbers, while OP suggest that they are. We will probably receive official NPD numbers sometime next week and than we will have ofical NPD thread like always, curently this is just Mizuho Securities Equity Research and nothing more.

yea i'm sure people that wanted a switch found it too difficult, just to go to any other major retailer online and just order from there.

If this is an accurate report, that’s a shockingly low number for the switch imo..... considering the system was dominating online charts after the 199 ps4 sold out everywhere.

The Switch numbers are the main reason why I doubt this report.. I expected them to be more competitive.

Seems like great sales all around except for Switch, which makes sense because of price and availability.

Well, Switch sales are also great, but I mean, not insane like the other two.

You might as well just treat it neutrally or play along with it being real numbers. It gives us alot to talk about and it will be fun pull some quotes from here. I need some coffee. I just noticed I left out a part of a sentence in that. lol.

Ya, sorry I cannot type as well on mobile. I meant to say PS4 did about the same and Xbox one did better. However note Xbox one went from 499.99 to 329.99 and that is really the only reason it beat PS4. PS4 and Switch did not receive a price reduction that was notable and if switch 800,000 that is impressive like it was impressive for PS4
