Benji said none of the consoles are doing well and you read it on Resetera.

This chart is not saying anything about NS doing good or bad, just that it does better than PS4 and XBO in october (if it is right off course). The amount of point is VERY unlikely to correlate with sale volumes. 

But yeah, Benji's comments do not correlate nicely with the chart this month... One explanation could be that his comment applies only to NS sales occuring right now without taking into account preorders (Smash and Diablo bundles releasing late in the month).

Well, we will see.



Benji actually didnt say neither consoles was doing badly, he said he did expect them to do better than they are, currently weaker than expected. Especially since CoD just released. RDR2 and the Smash bundles might redeem the NPD in the end though.. we'll see.

Pretty sure he said none of the consoles were doing that well.

Edit: I should've looked at the rest of the posts...

To me its sounds he had much higher expectations when comes to PS4 sales because CoD and RDR2 that very close, until now.



*The PS4 is coming off a fantastic September (according to Benji) so any expectations of continued elevated sales for this part of the month is overblown. COD and RDR2 (and its bundle) should help stabilize sales for the rest of the month.

*My takeaway is that Super Mario Party while selling above expectations (according to Benji, again) is failing to move Switch consoles (Benji again) and no news on the Xbox is not good at all.

 

*for Gamestop



The Smash bundle will count towards Oct? Should give Switch a huge boost for the month then.

Yeah, and the boost is already included in my October numbers which is why switch is ahead.



Let's see how October delivers then
