wow what a black friday for Xbox one x/s. Switch won the NPD because it was the number 1 selling console on Amazon but xbox had several skus in the top 20. I believe sony under shipped the ps4 199 spiderman and this may cost them the npd and make them come in 3rd for this month. But good sale all round especially the xbox one x sold beastly.

I strongly, STRONGLY doubt Sony lost.  If Amazon stock was representative then maybe Switch squeaks out a win.  But in the holidays, Amazon's more modest stock allocation always catches up.  Things sell out fast relative to other retailers.  Amazon's predictive value even back in the day was uncertain in November specifically.

Nah, we have information that Amazon represents around 20% of all sales, and PS4 is not so popular on Amazon like Switch or Xbox. Its safe bet that PS4 won month, but also that all 3 had great month.

So amazon became reliable again. Interesting. I eagerly await the results.

 

Holy mother of God, the ps plus is still number 1. If its number 1 on amazon for so long imagine how this sold nationwide and directly through the psn store.

Oh well it has been crazy the past few days. MK8 bundle seem to have performed better than i thought, tho Nintendo should start doing deals for their games or atleast start the Nintendo classic lines for the Switch soon.

Sony is always underperforming on Amazon during BF but i think we all know they are the king of this day. Switch will take December but i'm not expecting it to beat the PS4 with Spiderman even tho they had pokemon. Switch is still new and cost 300$ it's not the most crazy deals options for the BF so makes sense it's selling way better for the holidays.

I predict that NPD will again be PS4>NS>Xbox.

Holy fuck. Ps plus has had top spot-on lock down. The digital revenue Sony are bringing in must be colossal.

That's pretty much the consensus from everyone I helieve. PS4 has had a mighty month by all accounts - hard to topple that Spidey bundle, Switch seems to be doing really well as well and while Xbox looks to be doing really well online it seems it's not doing as well in B&M. November might pull off some fantastic numbers.

Is there some sort of promotion or deal on Switch SKUs on amazon UK? They might need it, Nintendo is far behind the other systems in terms of popularity.. but with both Pokemon and Smash upcoming it's at least a good sign for the future.

It had a bunch of promotions for black friday on Amazon.

If I recall last year on Amazon US, Switch was wining hole month and than PS4 and XB1 were ahead of Switch when Black Friday arrived,
this year is different, Switch actually gained with Black Friday and still is top selling console of month.
