Doesn't seem that long ago when some folks were insisting Switch had no chance of outselling Xbox One because it lacked graphics, third party support, and multimedia features compared to it.

if ps4 has a price drop this holiday i think it will have even more sales,
ps5 can wait, ps4 will still have a lot of support in the upcoming years!

Before the Switch came out I thought it'd be another flop like the Wii U haha. I quickly changed my mind though once it became clear Nintendo had learned their lessons.

So you are missing those left and right Nintendoom threads and Nintendo should go 3rd party? These threads disappeared like they were quietly sucked by a black hole.

I wouldn't say I miss them, but they are hilarious in retrospect.

With new NPD data today, 2020 is up to 14.84M now for Jan-Aug.

Given the way the rest of this year has gone, I expect adjustments upwards for Europe/ROTW once we get Nintendo's offical FYQ2 data.

US YoY for Jul+Aug is now up 71%.  Sep will be huge in the US with the stock ticking back up again, I think anywhere from 6-800K.  Lite launch last year won't matter.  US NPD Sep 2019 was 429K.

JP YoY for Jul+Aug is up 129%.  Sep will be huge as well, but hard comp against Lite launch in Japan last year.  5 weeks of Sep were 656K.  We'll see what happens.

Sell-through for the quarter overall looks to be targeting 5.7-6.2M - maybe a tad bit higher if Europe is indeed a little undertracked.  Shipments could exceed NDS records and cross 7M for the quarter I think.

Considering Super Mario 3D All Stars is releasing in September, I expect Nintendo to ship out a bunch of hardware too.  Of course, the marketplace is going to quickly buy up whatever they ship, but the 2nd biggest game of the year (after Animal Crossing) should probably accompany a really big hardware shipment too.

Switch adjusted up by 27k for the week, based on NPD I presume.

372k in a week with no major new games, price cut, or hardware model, in September. Just bonkers.

meanwhile in japan ps4 selling 3ds levels shows us that it has hit the market cap for traditional home consoles, AND that said market cap is shrinking quite rapidly due to the switch, at least in japan.
I'm fully expecting the ps5 to sell 70% of ps4 at best, 50% at worst, in japan, while the switch is aproching the all star reigion of 17-20 milion units that the all time bests reside in... in its fourth year, the peak year.
if they sell 5 mil, they'll surpass the LT sales of GBA, SNES, PS1, NES, PSP, and PS2 in japan, all potentially within Q3.

This is going to be a record setting year in japan.

Woooooow Switch!
