Show us these users, here, on VGC.

We can speak of other predictions that are more easily found (and actually really made). One of which is yours. The Switch would fall off a cliff right?. Well, the cliff still hasn't been seen yet. You got until december buddy.

it will do the same numbers from last year imo in the holidays, reports from insiders is pokemon hype is weak.

Don’t underestimate the sales potential of Pokemon just because insiders are reporting low hype for the game, especially during holidays. 

Pokemon should never be underestimated.  I think the lack of hype comes from it not being 'mainline' and the perception that it is a Switch version of the free game on phones.  Pikachu and Eevee are 58 and 87 respectively on Amazon 2018 which seems to imply that Smash (6!) has all the hype this year on Switch.  But lets face it RDR2 is ranked 85 and there is frankly no way that the combined PS4/Xbox One wont outsell all three titles so preorders are hard to read some time.  Whats more important for Switch numbers is how many holdouts there are for Pokemon Go on Switch.

Now if Nintendo actually believed in sales... 



PS4 smashed its competitors in Sept, as expected. I was expecting something more from X1 though.

Or the notion it would do as bad like the xbox one did last year during the time period before xbox one x launch, or that it would never beat PS4 in any NPD Months. Everyone should not be surprised at the users bias anymore.

On topic, PS4 did amazing, and in its 5th year. Goes to show what great well marketed title will do. Switch did alright, gained some momentum from last month.

ResetEra became part of VGC! When were you people going to inform me of that!

this website is kinda a mess to be honest, so hard to search anything. you had quite a few people, that were in the amazon predictions thread say switch would win every NPD, you had carl saying looks like ps4 wheels are are falling off, rying as always saying to switch would destroy everything, ultimategamer as well, and zoorge, of course people active in prediction thread here is such a small number, not sure what's the point.

PS4 350k    *(underesitmated the PS4 by 75k)
NSW 240k   *(underestimated the NSW by 20k)
Xbone 180k   *(I actually overestimated the xbox one)

Something like this?

Wow..... I massively underestimated the PS4! O_O

425k PS4 sales? wtf.

It beat the XB1 by over 250k this month.... in a NPD... thats nutty.

So which is bigger for ps4. Rdr2 or spiderman? I can't believe so many big games like assassin's creed, rdr2, bo4, fifa and spiderman are all releasing so close. Ps4 software sales WW those weeks will be nutty. Bf and holiday weeks insane too. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what sort of numbers god of war does this gen.

FIFA 19, BO4 and Red Dead 2 I smell another win for the PS4 in October, deserved.

^ this.

its Highly likely that the PS4 also takes October.
Nintendo Switch is going to have its work cut out for it in november+december, if it wants to catch up to the PS4.

"Literally Spidey numbers are so huge it's almost hilarious"

I'd say spiderman in October is moving a lot of units and probably still selling ps4's. It has the month in the bag. November is interesting but if ps4 goes big enough with the BF deals switch ain't beating it by much if at all during November. 

Miyamotoo said:

Impressive sales for PS4, Spiderman moved ton of consoles.
Switch is solid, XB1 is OK.

Anybody know what were last years October numbers?

Switch is OK, Xbox is not.

He has a point thoug. A lot of people thought the switch would destroy ps4 this year, especially when Sony made a low forecast and Nintendo made a high one.

I love how people still think this when he said he was serious, and gave a good explanation of why he said that.

Don't overlook this fact folks. September is 5 weeks vs 4 for August. Bear that in mind. The only console gaining momentum atm is the ps4.
