Forums - Sales - November 2017 NPD Thread! PS4 > XBO > Switch

Is this correct? Didn't Switch sell the most over Black Friday? Between that and extra stock for Mario at the beginning of the month it is hard to imagine those numbers are accurate unless they just had like zero stock the rest of the month.

So ... The numbers are wrong but the order is still the same, throws off a bit of the harsh narrative that some people had made up,lol

From what i got from it, not necessarily.

those numbers are in the ball park, but it seems it system did better, like by 50-100k

Well, there's also the fact that people perceive things how they want to. I'm pretty sure i'm guilty of that too. From what i saw, there was no indication of how far the numbers were off, just peoples' opinions/preferences. Not sure how many of them, if any have any insider info. The numbers and even the order could be off massively as far as we know. By those in the know, (Mat, NPD) they weren't even ballpark figures.

I dont think Matt commented on the numbers except for the numbers posted by that one site going on about how many XBX were sold. He also mentioned that the previous years figures were incorrect... but overall we're talking probably PS4 sold more, Xbox sold slightly less and Switch sold a little bit more, but all in, sounds like nothing really changes except gaps grow a little. 

As you say I guess people will try and see something more positive for their own agenda in the numbers, but I cant see how that would really change that much, the order is still the same.

I think it was said that he was talking about the whole numbers in general. Again,it may be my personal agenda showing but i got the impression he was implying the actual Switch numbers would be substantially higher. I don't think  any concrete numbers exist yet, otherwise 1 of the big 3 would have made a statement about it by now.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Really, you have as much  idea about it as the rest of us. Most of that thread was made up of personal preferences and biases, apartfrom what official people (Mat) said. If you yourself have personal biases, then i would say you would be more likely to believe whichever "opinion" best fits your narrative.

So you don't believe the order in which the consoles supposedly ended? Or are you arguing about the numbers only?

As should you for your consistent bias and antagonistic posting.

If there is a problem with a post (or poster), please use the Report feature (this goes for both of you). 

Apologies won’t happen again.

I believe these numbers were debunked, but I hope xbox one and ps4 outsells the switch. Just so I can tease rol a little bit.

The order is correct, it was the numbers that were off.
