Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD November 2019: Switch #1, other details

Cool seeing Ring Fit in the Switch top 10. Nice to know it's doing well in the West as well as being big in Japan.

I don't know, I think there is some bias against Nintendo from the video gaming industry as a whole. Look at how they were treated last night during The Game Awards for example. Nintendo won Game of the Year in Fighting, Strategy, Family, and Player's Choice but didn't get presented an award once on the main stage but rather was just announced and then moved on. The Player's Choice award should have been presented at minimum. The only one they were "presented" was the Fighting game of the year during the PRE-SHOW, how insulting.

Switch being up YOY in dollar sales is impressive considering this year had the Switch lite at 199$.
must be up quite a bit in units sales. And this November didn't even had Cyber Monday...

What's the source for this?

"Hardware

Hardware spending in November 2019 declined 26% compared to YA, to $891m. YTD HW spending has fallen 24% versus YA, to $2.9B. Only Nintendo Switch is showing year-to-date hardware sales growth.

Nintendo Switch was again the best-selling hardware platform of November and remains the best-selling platform of 2019. "

So I'm assuming Switch landed between 1.4m and 1.6m for Nov, Mat Piscatella replied to a poster on twitter suggesting Switch didn't break the gen record for Nov which I believe is PS4 in 2017 at 1.7m.

The statement concerning revenue refers to YTD, not November alone.

Switch 1st party softwares are monstrous even without huge additional of digital sales.

I bet both Zelda and MK8D will surpass Death Stranding with the inclusion of digital sales.

Lol... That's a ridiculous statement with zero evidence.

Current VGC Figures:

NSW - 1464k
PS4 - 1001k
XB1 - 872k

So the two figures are similar. XB1 almost identical, PS4 a bit less on VGC and Switch a bit higher.
