So this tool has the NS coming first and PS4 coming second right?

First time I have come into this thread.

Out of curiosity....... how many times has this tool been wrong?

For beginning of December yes, the tool has NS first and PS4 second.

Read the OP to have an idea of the tool accuracy but you have keep in mind that it was dead wrong for October (not yet in the OP) and will (very likely) be for November as well.

I will try to adjust the formula for holyday season in the future.

I am more confident for December.

I still feel that if the Switch takes November, there would be no need to tweak it as it would mean it was just a problem with the time period the Smash and Pokemon Pre-Orders counted for.

What’s with the sudden drop? 😱

Less skus at gamestop, doesn’t mean the Switch is selling less since the points are influenced by the number of skus. Massive drops or spikes should be expected during holidays.



Benji said Smash is selling about 2x more than Pokemon. 3m NPD opening would be crazy.

Gamestop's promo for the $25 gift card with Switch purchase ended so they removed the sku from the website.
