Well seeing as Xbox couldn't even win the month with all the X1X pre orders - I'm going to go with them being #3.

The ps4 isn't at $200 anymore, but who knows what deals they will do for Christmas.

I'm going with Switch -> Ps4 -> X1. That way even if PS4 wins I still get to be surprised and consider that a mini-victory.

 XBO was also $189, And didn’t sell out almost instantaneously like the $199 PS4 did, so I imagine that helped bolster its numbers for the last week of the month. There was of course also the X release, which I doubt it made up more than 50% of Xbox hardware sales, but new hardware + strong marketing campaign will definitely have a large impact. 

 

If Sony drops the price of PS4 again, along with the confirmed Pro price drops, I think there’s a good chance they’ll come out on top. I don’t think X will sell as well in December as it did at launch. We’ll see though. Honestly wasn’t expecting Switch to be so low by comparison in November, so I guess anything can happen lol 

X1X counted for 450k of the estimated 1350k of X1 on November... So X1 should do over 1M in December as well.

PS4 > NSW > XBO



I just hope Nintendo Switch fails. I'm sorry but two good games and everything else is bad should not warrant a somewhat pricy console.

It won't fail... the most it can happen is it being 3rd place this NPD.

I just hope this switch craze is over. Knowing Nintendo only has a couple more tricks up their sleeves, this could be the case.

I don't think it's cool to want a console to fail.

When they do the opposite of what I want, I say yes. I don't want Microsoft to follow suit like they did with the motion control craze.



I was wrong last time, but here I go again...

PS4/NSW/X1

I don't thibk Microsoft will ever do that. They never made a portable game console before.
