28% of people voted for Switch to win in the NPD prediction thread and only 26% of people voted Switch to win in Tbones 1st/2nd/3rd thread. Seems like only a minority thought it would dominate last month.

But ya PS4 likely erased all of Switch previous month leads, it had an amazing month.

The Switch didn’t actually have any lead - the PS4 was still leading 2017.

I know, i was saying it likely erased the lead Switch had built up since launch. I wasnt counting months that Switch wasnt available.



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

Again, I have no idea. It's done anonymously. It could have been people who disagreed with the logic of the post but didn't care to comment.

So you think that all favorable Nintendo comments were logical and non-favorable were illogical and for some reason all over there agree....

If I recall correctly, the majority of favorable comments were typical "oh, amazing" or were bringing up how many doubted Switch's success.

They weren't making an argument.

I noticed many of your posts were downvoted: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/270496/switch-was-the-best-selling-product-online-over-thanksgiving-black-friday-and-cyber-monday/

But I repeat, a downvote is vague and offers no feedback thus we cannot conclude who did it nor the motive.

1. Switch slowdown? How do you mean?

2. Go buy Battlefront 2, the game Sony got in bed with rather than the Bayonetta IP. Nintendo snatched that one up.

1/ Correct. My sentence is inaccurate. I meant that comparatively to other systems, it didn't rise as fast. It's slowing down in the race with PS4 & X1.

2/ I don't remember SWBII being exclusive to PS4.

1. Did you take into consideration the lack of discounts and bundles on the Switch's end?

2. It's not exclusive but Sony surely must have paid some price to exclusively market EA's recent debacle. Money that could have gone to the Bayonetta IP. Instead, it was Nintendo that rescued Bayonetta from being shelved indefinitely rather than Sony. Sony put their money on CoD, BF2, and Fifa.

Go play those games. They're not Bayonetta but perhaps you'll find them to your liking.

It could, I think a grand theft auto game and 149.99 PS4 towards the end might be great enough to push it past Wii. It also needs to not have PC version like last time.

I don't get what the argument here is about. The PS4 won November. Its up YOY and so is the XB1. The NS did great too. Everyone should be happy.

If anything, a better discussion should be by how much did the PS4 win over the NS. Why that is relevant is that this win could negate every single monthly win the NS has had over the PS4 leading up to November. Kinda a big deal as some expected that on its first holiday period the NS would destroy the competition going off how its been winning NPDs of late. Well, that didn't happen.

28% of people voted for Switch to win in the NPD prediction thread and only 26% of people voted Switch to win in Tbones 1st/2nd/3rd thread. Seems like only a minority thought it would dominate last month.

But ya PS4 likely erased all of Switch previous month leads, it had an amazing month.

28%/26% on a 3 way vote isn't a MINORITY though. Further more, I didn't say everyone or insinuate that I was referring to a majority. I said "some" people. Unless of course 25% average in a 3 way vote doesn't count as some people. Hell in truth the minority were actually those betting on the XB1 to win as those votes came in last.

How is under 30% not a minority? Over 70% thought either Ps4 or XBO would win.

Are you kidding me now?

This was a three way vote. Not a two way vote.

55% PS4

28% NSW

15% XB1.

And somehow the NS was the minority? Only if you decide to pool PS4 and XB1 votes  together against the NS, but by that twisted reasoning.... you might as well pool the vots of the PS4=NS of those that thought it would win. Which would give you 80%+....... oh look... still higher than you own pool.

Stop the BS... its a 3 way vote. A contender getting more than half the votes of the winner doesn't make it a minority.
