Forums - Sales Discussion - August NPD 2020: Switch 504k, PS4 197k, XBO 45k

Switch is just a phenomenon, there’s not doubt that it has a shot of becoming the best selling console in the long run; Nintendo needs to really screw things up for the switch to fall behind. The cliff seems so far away

Will update the thread later, with all informations



Still climbing before the cliff :)



So how many home console records does the Switch own now? Im thinking Sept, Oct, and maybe even Nov are in trouble lol. Dec for Wii 2009 is just simply too high.

Next year, 2021 that record is going down.

Better holiday inventory building with increased production, get new 3D Mario/Zelda out there, maybe some new Nintendogs/Wii Sports-esque casual title.  Switch Pro @349.99, OG @249.99, Lite @169.99.

That'll get it done.  4M easy (lol).

November in general is in trouble lol. Wii best november (2.04M) > DS best November (1.7M)



The way the Switch keeps exceeding even the most optimistic expectations (unless tbone predicted ∼500k :P)

Dat jump for FFVIIR, Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion 3.

I was at once worried Switch could lose its first month since 2018 this November but I'm not at all anymore. People are going to flip out over Switch > PS5 headlines come November NPD. Even though it should probably be expected.



Ok so counting eshop sales: Who sold more, Modern Warfare or New Horizons ?



Nintendo games dominating the top 20 and without digital sales. Madness!
Zelda over Last of us 2 without digital is also crazy! Seems Zelda will handily win this battle.
