Don't know why people are surprised by the Xbox, they had deals throughout the month of November, starting out with $100 off any Xbox with the purchase of RDR2, had the most Black Friday console deals (I counted at least 7) and even now, all their product line is still on sale.

PS4's non black Friday deals really did them in (for a down Y/Y), not in a bad way but looking at them , both the BLOPS4 and RDR2 Pro deal are $50 too expensive. After the PS4 Spiderman deal, there was no real incentive to buy a PS4 because there was no fallback deal.

Switch's non black Friday games release schedule (Pokemon mid-November and Smash mid-december) are keeping their sales elevated.

All three did great for the month and all three over a million is something.

I think people are forgetting that the 5yr old PS4 is already at around 30M sold in NA s far and almost at 90M sold worldwide. What is really impressive is how long it has been able to still keep its price at where its at. Right now sony would be more interested in software and services sales than in hardware sales. As they should be.  

The eight years old 3ds is down yoy for 39%... 

You expected it to be yoy up for almost the same precentage.

Why the heck would it be yoy up?

3ds sales are very good given the circumstances...

3ds in its eight year has been performing like wii u was performing in its third year, so align your expectations with that.

Congrats to Sony - still no. 1 after 5 years is impressive! I think, just like last year, that it wouldn't have even been a contest had they provided more stock of the $199 bundle, but I don't think Sony really cares. They'd be losing revenue if they continue at that price. I think they're content with keeping it close to the competition in the U.S. They still have dominance in Europe- which has now become the world's largest market. They are also still performing well in Japan and the rest of the world. PS4 should easily cross the 100 million mark soon and 1,000,000 games sold - all on the heels of the inevitable PS5 reveal. I'm guessing they ride out PS4 until Spring 2020. If PS5 is fully compatible to PS4 games - it will help extend the PS4 life to possibly PS2 levels.

I disagree, like I wrote "Great result for all 3, but Switch is biggest winner here". Despite PS4 is down YOY still had great month in any case, same goes for XB1, but Switch had almost double boost compared to last year so that why its biggest winner.

Wow, Wow, Wow...., i missed the party here. So PS4 1'4M......ok, Switch 1,3M.........very surprising, XBO 1'3M too (WTF how is that possible?!?!).

Well..., conclusion, Switch ended doing what most people expected before that PR from Nintendo. PS4 did way worse than moste people were expecting and XBO is the true surprise here, because it almost come to 1st place unit sales. I found possible that PR number from Nintendo to be wrong, but i decided to believe it, but i never would believed that XBO was so close to the other two in November. So, big month for the industry in November, way better than i expected.

December is going to be a free path for Switch, and most probably will end the year as the best selling console of the year in USA. I still don't undertand what Sony is doing the last few holiday seasons. I expect they're happy with the profit numbers..., because after December they're going to hear every day how PS4 is finished in USA. Microsoft, to me is the biggest winner of the three, showing how powerful is Microsoft during this period.

And now I'm laughing to all who said "2018 will be the PS4's price cut to 199", Sony never even needed to cut the price during the whole year

That was obvious from your prediction on NPD thread but I'm certain that if you had checked last year numbers your prediction would be close.

The deal was special 2ds edition with Super Mario Maker for 79$, maybe things would have been better if it was new 2ds xl instead, even if it costs 70$ more than 2ds... 

Also congrats to the PS4 for outselling the PS3 LTD in the US. The PS3 was discontinued in the US October 2016, dont know when the last NPD reporting date was.

I guess we figured out which prediction was bolder
