I think you may be underestimating it.  CM is a big deal. If I remember correctly, last year it rivaled BF.  More importantly, the Switch actually had deals this year, effectively making it $199-$249, depending on where you went. This will shift a lot of buyers to that 5 day shopping period.

The only deals I recall were a $50 gift card at Gamestop or a $35 eShop card at Walmart

It also came bundled with MK8 Deluxe.

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.

Living rent free in their minds.

I believe the Mario Kart bundle was already gone by Cyber Monday but I could be wrong.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

People expecting switch to be #1 this year are crazy. No way switch is outselling the ps4 by over 600k in December.

What are your predictions? It is looking very likely that Switch has a very strong December 



This is Pokémon month so switch numbers will be much better this year. I'll go with 1.4mik for switch. Not gonna try to predict xbone or PS4 though



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Cyber Monday was included into November so it won't have those sales in December. I can see it being up MOM but i'd be surprised if it sells more than 1.6m.



Top sellers in retail. The retail and digital numbers release in a few days.

1. COD
2. RDR2
3. Fallout76
4. Madden
5. NBA 2k
6. Let's Go Pikachu
7. Let's Go Eevee
8. FIFA
9. AC Odyssey
10. Battlefield V

BF5 flopped hard but i expect it to be higher with digital. 

Madden topped 2k which is a bit surprising.

Look like CoD will be the best selling game this year.

Cyber Monday not being included in December impacts the competitors just as much as it does the Switch. Also, Smash Bros is a pretty good equalizer

PS4 will most likely sell below 1.2m in December, while its expected that Switch with Smash will do around 2m at least.

I am actually thinking more like under 1M.

Its possible. Especially if the switch sells even as much as 1.7M in december. I really don't see PS4 doin more than 1M in december.

PS4 willdo over 1m because there is lots of stock and people want PS4s.
