Kirby doing well. Should reach #1 before release and hopefully hold it there for a couple days.

Ah... I think 35k can be still considered close. It will be more interesting from March on. I think both January and February were close.

I would say switch won JAN, by 15-25k, here is number 2,and 3 predictions suggesting ps4 sold over 255k. Now that we have numbers, i'm honestly vey impressed switch is keeping up with ps4 previous years  in monthly sales so far.

 

#2 Prediction

[XB1] 209K

#3 prediction

You shouldn't be surprised. It was always on the cards. 



Can aynone tell me why zelda is again on 3rd place?

Poor PS4 and xb1. They need a price cut if they want to stay competitive with the switch. I honestly feel until they do, Nintendo will win every NPD for the foreseeable future. Sony already proved it can win NPD with a $199 PS4 as evidenced during November. But at $299 going into its 5th year, it’s setting into a firm 2nd to 3rd position for monthly console sales.

Now that February is mostly barren of big game releases on PS4, this month should see switch winning by a significant higher margin. Take note, switch won January with no new games at all. PS4 had dbz and monster hunter and still lost.

But Sony can still reverse all of it by lowering the price and get right back in this. Until then, this is a switch train and we’re all in for the ride!

Why do you feel that Switch will win February by a significant higher margin? Besides your MHW DBZ opinion, that were never really supposed to push sales in the US in January, why do you think Switch will win by a big margin.

It's been there for a couple of days now but I have no idea why.

It is 45$ now. It was more expensive before.

Maybe because it's $45? But I'm not sure what it was retailing for, before.

Edit: God damn ninja'd!!!!!

There is no denying switch is beasting on amazon right now, but i'll bet anything you want, switch won't take February.  Before you take the bet, xbox had plenty of amazing deal this month.

Ryng Manuel Tolu did some math and got these numbers

I did some math. Pls remember those are just estimate.


NSW ~ somewhere between 255K and 285K
PS4 ~ 254K
XB1 ~ 235K

Until we get others news/leaks, i'll probabily use ~270K for Switch.

 

So we have switch winning by probably 15k, once sony releases the big guns, and drops the price, i think ps4 will clearly out sell switch this year in the US by a good margin. it really doesn't matter though switch is doing great, but people expecting to beat ps4, i don't think thats gonna happen.

 Right now, it's in between 1k-31k. Could be on the lowest or the highest end of the stick, we don't know.

If only NPD were giving us clear information ...

I miss Libertarian ... (was it the name ?)

It's virtually impossible for it to be only 1K and there abouts.

There's 0.1-3% difference in Revenue between PS4 and the Switch, and considering the PS4 in January had SKUs of 299, 399 and 449 and the Switch only had 299 SKUs.

Just an example of how it could have turned out:

If 20% of the sold SKUs for PS4 was the Pro and let's say 5% was the 449 SKU and the rest was the regular we get:

A: .75x254000x299 = 56 959 500
B: .20x254000x399 = 20 269 200
C: .05x254000x449 = 5 702 300

A+B+C = 82 931 000$ = PS4 Revenue

Switch is within 3% of this

82 931 000 x .97 = 80 443 070$ at worst and 82 930 999$ at best

For the sake of things let's assume it's 3% away 

Which means:

82 931 00 / 299 = 277.3K 

These numbers would obviously look a bit different if the PRO / MH bundle had lesser impact than the 25% I counted on but it would seriously surprise me if the PRO had a lesser market than usual in January.

Yeah, I thought it was retailing for somewhere near realease RRP price before. Most Nintendo IPs seem to hold their value.
