Sooooooooooo, looks like Abdiel, the insidiers from Best Buy, which usually tend to overestimate PS4 performance a bit (in comparation to what NPD numbers usually are), said that even on best buy Switch had a better month than PS4.

There are no doubts anymore.

Benji, Abdiel, and Amazon, all points about a Switch victory for the month of December.

So what's expected in terms of numbers? Something like 1.1m Switch, 1m PS4 and 900k Xbox One?

PS4 and XB1 are not gonna crush so much this month.

While November may have become a bigger month with how big Black Friday is today, PS4 is not going to have a massive >40% decrease from last month. Same XB1.

Don't forget that just 2 years ago, with pretty much amazing deals from both side, both PS4 and XB1 were slighly up MOM. This year we will probabily see the first MOM decrease for those consoles, and nexts years this will probabily become a rule (November is going to be bigger and bigger every years), but at least this year, PS4/XB1 decrease won't be so big.

 

I think is just more about Switch having a pretty "bad" November (not in term of numbers, but in term of deals...). Which mean December boost is going to be huge, possible as good as 3DS firsts years.

 

Switch is gonna explode this month. My predictions:

 

Switch - 1.5 million
PS4 - 1.4 million
XB1 - 1.25 million

All points that Switch is selling much better compared to November when it sold around 800k, so I think Switch sold better than 1.1m, my guess is around 1.5m.

Nice for MH.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

This NPD will likely be very informative.

You mean January? It's the 2nd ...

You were telling different story before about December sales, you were saying PS4 and XB1 will be above Switch and that Switch will be 1-1.1m.
