XBO - 210K

Hmm, not too far off this month. Looks like those $249 XBO bundles are doing alright in brick and mortar, because XBO has little presence on Amazon recently.  Which really makes me wonder, what the hell is even the point of the discless version. You're getting much less  for the same price as a normal XBO. If it had a 4TB HDD, then ok, but it doesn't.

Thank you Marth! Wiw XB1 did better than I thought.....just felt like it has been dragging lately. Switch VERY strong performance and PS4.....dropped even harder than the XB1 percentage wise yet is still staying ahead wow.

PS4 is definitely in need of a price cut. Personally, I'm still surprised it's pulling the numbers it does with a $299 price after being on the market for over 5 years. This year it should finally get that price cut of, at least, $50.



This means the switch has the best Q1 for this gen. That’s pretty good

Nice to hear. Any comparisons at hand?

On my mind I remember the ps4 being held the best this gen in 2017 at 1.01 million. So just a narrow victory

Damn Switch!



Switch : 383k
PS4 : 253k
XB1 : 221k

Compared with last year:
Switch: +24%
Ps4: -29%
XB1: -26%

YTD 2019 (Welfare)
NSW: 1.03M (+20%)
PS4: 730K (-25%)
XB1: 550K (-35%)

Above from Ethomas, neogaf.

My take:
Xbox has had so many sales trying to move units (reg. at 199$ or below), and its still down 35% this year.
Sony should consider a price drop for the PS4s and PS4pro too, that about it, its end of the gen and its time for a price drop.
Switch about to have its peak year.

Damn I was off this month!

Underestimated the Switch and the X1 quite a bit while overestimating the PS4 quite a bit as well.  But I´m really glad to see the X1 surpassing my expectations for a change.

I shouldn't have corrected the Switch down by 10k, would have been almost perfectly correct.

Overestimated the PS4 a bit and underestimated the XBO quite a bit, but all in all not too far off.

How does it stack to the weekly sales charts? Adjustments incoming?

lol But that was actually your closest prediction!

You were only off 9K on your NS prediction while being 14K and 32K off on the PS4 and X1 respectively.

Waaaay too early to say that. We still have new models very likely coming this year, which will drive it forward next year into new heights.
