Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 Won February NPD (PS4: 363K, XBO: 310K, NSW: 279K)

ironmanDX on 19 March 2018

So many people who go out to bat for the Amazon thread are changing their tune despite it still being accurate over 80 percent of the time. This month could have just been another "off" month for the site. Jeez... This month even the final npd order was correct for 2 of the 3...

Quite surprising to see the xbox one above the Switch tbh. I imagine tax time may have been a factor here as well as lower pricing sales. Good month for all 3 I imagine.

Pretty good month for the big 3. Didn't expect Switch to come in last.

No its not shocking, PS4s last year was strongest from launch, maybe this one will be even stronger, talking about Japan specifically, PS4 had probably biggest or at lest one of PS4s biggest game for Japan so thats reason for huge boost in Japan, while in same time Switch had slow Janaury-Febrary for releases.

 

So that means that Switch is not loosing momentum, it sold better than it did in January. :)

February is a much better month for console sales then JAN, ps4 usually does around 200-230k in jan, while in FEB it does 400k. 

It doesnt relly matters, not to mentione that we had 5 January weeks compared to 4 February weeks, point is that you dont have any reason to say that Switch is losing momentum outside your Nintendo negativite. :)

Number from rying which are as reliable as they get.


NSW ~ 280K

XB1 ~ 311K

PS4 ~ 364K

 

numbers don't look bad for switch at all actually.

It’s not bad except that it’s below what 90% of people predicted. Shadow predicted 400k for the Switch, for example.

Here’s what you’re forgetting though - Amazon, with regards to the Switch, has also shown the latter to be dominating, not just winning. Everyone was surprised by the small gap by which the Switch won in January. This is what people aren’t understanding.
