What people failed to see here is, Sony needs to ship a free latest game like Spiderman with a huge price cut in order to win in a unit for this month while Switch takes the revenue.

December is looking very ugly for PS4 and probably will be in the last place behind XBX1

You tried to push this odd logic back when Spain (and Europe) had the Spiderman deal last month...If Nintendo just had the Switch @ 299 for Black Friday, would they be up 75% year on year?

Switch now joins GBA, DS, and Wii as the only Nintendo consoles to sell more than a million units in November.

They also have all gone on to sell over 2 million units in December.

According to Benji, Smash is likely to break Halo 3 record as the best selling exclusive in a month. What a monster.

So whats the score for the Year?
As in Number of NPD's won for each console, I assume PS4 is leading from Switch but how many?

Results are in


Switch: 1360K
PS4: 1480K
XBO: 1340K


Here's how my prediction went.
Switch: 90k off
PS4: 20k off
XB1: 10k off

total difference:  120k off

I am very happy with that.  I feel I got extremely close to the mark.

Great job! Your prediction must've been one of the closest?

Now spill the beans about December NPD numbers

You did an excelent job on it. like less than 3% so much better than VGC.

What on earth did you guys do to make us be talked about on ERA's NPD thread?

We are always talked about over there....

We are those guys they love to hate. For people they seem so against.. they can't seem to stop talking about us.
