Really amazing. I hope someone leak February's numbers tho. xD

Btw, will the next NPD be near the end of March like this one, or earlier?

March 20th.

Thank you!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I used easy numbers for quick calculations, but the glaring error is that total hardware revenue was only $278m, so Switch, PS4 and Xbox One being within 3% of each other would push the three systems to a combined $270m already.

Reducing the previous assumption to $80m worth of Switch revenue results in 267k units and a combined total of $240m between Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. 3DS sales of 150k at an ASP of $150 is revenue of $22.5m, leaving ~$15m of the grand total of $278m in hardware revenue for the SNES Mini and the living dead of other consoles.

Here the 3DS revenue is a high ball estimate because the 2DS at $80 is a better selling model than the New 3DS models that retail for over $150; the New 2DS XL is $150. The SNES Mini doesn't generate high revenue and neither do the remaining consoles.

So while the $90m basis of the previous post was too high, a downward adjustment to $80m seems to be too big. Switch is likely ~280k and the PS4 ~260k. Haven't looked into Xbox One pricing, but its premium SKU pushes up the ASP, so I throw a figure of ~240k into the room and call it a day.

EDIT: 280k for Switch, 260k for PS4, 240k for Xbox One, 150k for 3DS and 100k SNES Minis combine for a total of over 1m units of hardware, so this doublecheck lines up with the public NPD release.

if those are the numbers i win the bet with cg.

What was your bet with CG? I forgot.

Well looks like im going to have to be extra nice to you now xD



Wish we could get numbers to see how close it was. I can't believe GTA V is the 6th best selling game of 2017



 

Got to the end (finally). No numbers is disappointing, though.

So how exactly does this work ? you flag up someone as being nasty to you and CG takes action ????
