I thought it was silly too, his insights have been great and on the mark most of the time.

Honestly I have my doubts. Last year it did around 1.5M. And those december sales were including cyber monday that went into november this year.

But it has smash this year. I am peing it to do around 1.8M to 2M fr december but not over that.

I also expect both the PS4 and XB1 to be below 1M. Unless sony does another $199 promotion. Which I don't see happening 

That's quite inaccurate, totals Jan-Oct 2018:

PS4: 3048K (+14% YoY)

NSW: 2505K (-4% YoY)

XB1: 2083K (+35% YoY)

So like you can see both PS4 and XB1 were YoY up until this month while Switch was YoY down, so no, this November is not reflective of result until now.

I dont talking about what's expected or not, that wasn't my point at all, I made you reply to you because you wrote LOL when I wrote "Switch is biggest winner of this month".

So when its convenient we are only looking at the entire year? Out of those 10 months the PS4 was down YOY for around 7 of them. Thats a trend. The odd month or two it was up is aka bucking the trend. It just happened to have been up by a lot those months which is why its whole year performance looks good. It doesn't change that its been "trending" downwards.

Be honest here..... ut of those 10 months how many did NS perform better for? my guess woould be more than 5 of them? Which even though YOY it was down by 4% it has been trending upwards all year.

But ok... for whatever its worth.... NS is the biggest winner this month. Though technically if thats how you want to look at it what you really should be saying is that its the only winner this month. Cause all the others are not even up but rather down YOY. 

So.... yay?

It had impressive deals this year. The mario Kart $299  + $50 Gift cards deal. That's like a $100 price cut.

Looks like Switch sold 400,000 to 500,000 in 5 days! /jk

Everything did fine, Switch did really amazing without a real price cut (only value added bundles), but the one that really surprised me is xbox one. Good on it. 

Ya I thought Xbox would be down quite a bit more than that, impressive.

I don't know about that. Last year Switch had the huge sales from Cyber Monday to boost its sales by a lot.  This year CM was included in Nov.  I see it doing 1.4M-1.6M.  PS4 will probably be around 1M, unless Sony does some kind of deal for Dec. I think Sony will keep the year, but just barely.

Looks like they put out just enough to win the month by a comfortable margin. I wonder if this has to do with focusing on profit, or they are scaling PS4 production down slightly. They originally only predicted 17M (or was it 16M?) shipped this FY.  They had to up it to 17.5M recently, and may actually end up with 18M shipped.

She had a good run. Next year will probably be her last.

lol.... 

we did say it could happen though. 

Being that the PR said MORE than 8.2M with 5 days left and that these numbers aren't 100% accurate.... we can confidently say it sold between 300k - 400k in those last 5 days. Which isn't shocking when you think of a 1.3M selling month. For all we know in its first two weeks of the month it only sold around 400k or whatever it typically sells weekly each month then its sales shot up for BF and CM and was sustained a bit through those last 5 days.

And yes..... I think the real shocker here is the XB1. I think very few on this site expected it to do so well.

I think some of you are overestimating Cyber Monday being in the November tracking period when it comes to Switch, I dont think it's going to make a huge difference.
