The Switch did great, it was wise to keep the full price in my opinion.

The console is super hot and the stock is not that high, so why lower the income when it was going to sell out regardless?

Yep, the great deal for Switch was being available.

I don't think the Adobe report took brick and mortar into consideration.

Which is funny, because I was downvoted in the VGC article for saying "Online is only half the equation."

Every single post that wasn't praising Nintendo sales got massively downvoted, even when made as an answer to another post... I even suspect the return of the NDF parallel group.

Yo OP. Those hardware numbers are wrong. The rankings aren't, but the numbers are. According to Mat Priscela from NPD. We don't have hard numbers yet.

After 9 months

PS4-3.75m

XBO-3.05m

3DS-2.45m

Wii U-1.20m

NSW-~3.40m

The March vs November launches make these kind of comparison really hard. The most interesting point will be 12 months vs 12 months. I don't think Switch's December numbers will be enough for it to catch the PS4's first year though. Edit: Kinda forgot this was only US and seeing your other post, yes it will catch up.

Edit: Also, everytime I see NSW, my mind reads Not Safe For Work.

I agree but alot of people have argued with me about launch month mattering.

12 month vs 12 month will be close

PS4-4.80m

 

Switch is at 3.40m so it needs ~1.40m in the next 3 months which should be doable. Over 1 million in December followed by over 200k in January & February.

PS4 will overtake it again in months 13/14.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Shocked that PS4 is double the Switch, especially when the PS4 had stock issues and Switch didn't. I predicted XBO > PS4 > Switch, I thought the X would swing it Microsoft's way. I did know switch would come last though, due to not having a pricecut.
People knock Prachter but there's a lot of worse analysts here on VGC, see all those here that predicted that switch would win black friday for example.

I would of predicted switch #1 for december but these numbers make me reassess that

We are just armchair analysts bro, don't be so mean!

about our bet..... congratulations. you correctly predicted this. well earned.(there is still December mod remaining, but Xbox has little to no chance of winning that so the win is basically yours now)

 

edit: I'm hearing the numbers are wrong, what is all that about?



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Oh wait, I can subscribe to threads, so never mind.

Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

In the other thread the numbers were basically confirmed (within the margin of error of he not giving precise numbers), it's just that next week we will have more numbers, breakdown and SW.

Those numbers were already debunked by Matt (Era NPD Guru). Let's wait for official information.



RJ_Sizzle on 08 December 2017

I was right? I WAS RIGHT! Yeeeeehoooo! Some great numbers this Nov for PS4 and Xbox. Those $200 consoles hit the spot.

Whoops. Guess we jumped the gun on the numbers, but correct on rankings at least.
