Congrats to the Switch!  It's already taken the top spot of all time in Japan and now it is #2 in the US.  Only the DS is left for the Switch to pass in the US.  It will be interesting to see if it can pull it off when all is said and done.

When did they aim for $399 the first time?

It seems a lot of people have trouble with using the easy and nice hardware by date tool here on the website.

Last year November sales were till 26th of November, which included Black Friday and the weekend after that. Last year Switch was down massively, compared to 2022. Which is the same case now when comparing it to 2022. But comparing it to 2023 US sales, sales were flat. The pure difference in numbers is 17k for this November, however this November the data is till 30th of November, last year the data was till November 26th. So it's not really that up year on year. Yes it's 4 weeks again, but 4 days where the sales are stronger were left out of last year's data for November, and are here for this November. If it were till end of November sales would probably be a bit down. Of course the final result is still very good for Switch, but it's not really up year over year when you take that into account, and also the fact that the sale offers were bigger for the system compared to last year. Also Xbox is a lot weaker, this also contribute to some chunk of the sales going to the Switch (of course most of them goes to the PS5).

However I expect December to be down compared to last year, since it has been down all year but November. But that is not something bad of course, it's normal for 8th year old console. People are getting so hyped up, it says up year on year, that they forget to make the calculations, and react like it's 20% up year on year for the whole holiday. 17k is not up, 17k difference is flat. It's so negligible it can't be really counted as up year on year. It's essentially flat because of the biggest sale offers to date for the Switch and the difference in the tracking dates. December will be from 1st unlike from 26th November like last year. Last year Switch did 1.3M in US for December.

So basically you are upset you got it wrong again, where on the front page you expected Switch to be significantly down and instead it's flat or up but you are bothered by posters saying it's up because you know what this means in the grand scheme of surpassing a certain milestone. Also, as usual, you came up with excuses of why you were wrong such as Xbox is collapsing and Switch had retailer deals. Thats my assessment of this post, am I accurate here? You tell me!

You are not accurate here, because you make your own interpretations of what I wrote, and put words in my mouth (and not only this time but pretty much every time). I am simply saying my opinion on the US sales for November here while answering @javi741 's question. I can't be upset or happy if a console is doing well or bad (no matter which one it is) since it's not so much important to me, to have feelings or to take it so personal the way you explained it here. Also you are wrong. I have never ever made predictions for November, for them to be wrong. If you point to the comment in one of the articles that one was for the holiday period not for November alone. And when December is over you will see that my projection was correct, or at least close. Also I can't be bothered by poster let alone good one like @javi741 . The only one here who is bothered by posters according to my observations is you, whenever there is a post about doubting Switch continuing sales or mention PS2, you always jump.

A certain milestone ? Do you really think that some hundreds of units more (assuming you are saying it like I am expecting 400k or something and is doing 580k) is something compared to more than 15M more left ? It's nothing. But to answer your point, I have never thought of that milestone since some 2 weeks ago when the discussion about that was last bring up by some other posters and I read over the posts. You obviously take this whole thing with the milestone like some dream of yours, that you constantly think of, since you are mentioning it in almost each of your posts. Well if it's that, it's not that for all the other people.

The very first post shows your prediction lol of 350K. I dont care for the rest of the post. ;)

Oooh that one. Yea, I simply put some numbers there, and expected it will continue to be somewhat down year on year. For that one, yes obviously I was short. But that has nothing to do with anything you wrote, in your previous post.

I got it wrong ? Again ? If you count all my predictions till now you will see that those coming close or right at the point were a lot more than those coming wrong. You say it like I am always wrong, when for the predictions I am mostly right. But again this has nothing to do with what you just said in your previous post.

It has everything to do with my previous post lol because it is literally what I'm accusing you of. I said you were wrong again (the 350K) and that entire post was nothing more than you being bothered by being again. I'll let you get the last word though, I'm just enjoying my victory lap!

Holy fudgecake... I miss remembered how much it launched at O_O.

Nobody is interested in the PC. 

The possibility of PS6 being digital only is growing more each passing month as ~70% and growing software sales are digital. I am afraid that Nintendo will be the last man standing with physical for at least another 2 generations...

Sony has a big infrastructure and internal resources focused in hardware development. Their increase in hardware prices are an evidence they are committed to be hardware makers, as their hardware helps them to make their software and services more popular and profitable. If you own a PC there is no point in subscribing for a PS Plus for example

That's why they are moving away from lower prices and instead are selling hardware at profit, just like Nintendo

I think with exception of Spider Man most of their single players first parties sells poorly on PCs (compared to PS5), PC sales are not necessary for Sony games to break even, or even to turn into profit. They are more advertising of Sonys brand and games, if anything. Sony is doing that because they probably already exhausted the pool of consumers on Playstation userbase.

During PS4 days Sony was almost giving away their first party games for free, anyone who was interested in Spider Man, Horizon or Uncharted could get them for dirty cheap, so Sony likely figured out if they want their IPs to keep growing there is no other way other than releasing them on PCs
