December 2018 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, January 15th
- Thread starter donny2112
- Start date
I didn't find any recent numbers, sorry. As far as I know Colombia is big on Xbox and Peru on Playstation with Nintendo improving and practically no Xbox. I think that Peru still has a significant gray market, not sure about Colombia.
I found this, it's from 2016 and I'm not sure how accurate the info is as it's based on surveys not sales tracking: https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/latin-american-games-market/.
Overall situation seems to be slow adoption rate of this generation consoles in both countries and Xbox dominates Brazil while Playstation dominates Argentina.
Thanks. Not a lot about Nintendo in Argentina. They had the biggest stand in the last Argentina Game Show 2018 (with Smash and Pokemon).
In the grey market the Switch is cheaper than the PS4. Maybe because it sells less? A lot of grey market sellers buy in USA and sell through Mercadolibre (Like ebay). Nintendo distributes officially through JVLAT and sells in some electronics chains. I know Nintendo should have some numbers.
Maybe the poster should think with his brain rather than his dick. And yeah - attacking a women for her looks is misogynistic not sexist, my bad!
And 😂 at calling me out for an off-topic post and not that poster 🤦♂️.
Hey, so what's going on here..
Even Mat has been corrupted. Those numbers need to be released.

I'd really want to know at least a general perspective of how consoles and games are doing in Mexico.
Lately it seems like everyone I know is interested in a Switch (or has one already). Xbox and PS4 dominate but I'm sure Switch adoption must be increasing.

Well, there would need to be more people returning the console than buying it for adoption to decrease, so I sure hope it's increasing.
lol
I mean more like Switch is (anecdotally) more popular than past consoles, even the 3ds (most people I know have a DSi or even Lite and they're happy with them)
Just got Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far in the mail and I have 5 days to play as much as possible until KH3 releases in 5 measly days(thanks government shutdown and keeping my game in customs for 8 days!). So I guess I'll just play that stuff nonstop with Punisher Season 2 for breaks in between and pray to god this thread has something meaningful in the next few days.
because it is late into the generation, anyone who can afford a console or gaming PC can probably already afford a second console. Not so much that the Switch is dominating but anyone who wanted a PS4 already has one
Amount of HP = Switch hardware
Amount of MP = Snacks sold in December
Maybe we should just ask if Benji's prediction was right then, if we're at it.
Yeah, the Switch has continued to be the one with the most hype still, and Smash only increased it. Almost everyone I know who is a casual gamer or a lapsed gamer, has been buying one or interested in getting one, after years on Nintendo not being cool or relevant.
Maybe it helps that we're in peek 90s nostalgia era and everybody remembers the 64 and GC fondly. Plus, well, the Switch is awesome. It's library only keeps getting bigger as well.

Well, there's egg on my face then.
Yeah, physical was delayed due to a processing error. No delay is anticipated to the media release scheduled for Tuesday.
Thanks for the info. When do you expect physical to be released?
Has there ever been a breakdown of sales by retailer? Are some more popular for physical games than others? Are some platforms more popular at certain stores? Are some more popular in particular regions? Does one better represent the overall market than others? Etc. etc.
Those types of things.
I wouldn't be shocked if nobody would want that info out, but maybe historical data for shits and giggles ("oh yeeeah, Babbage's!").

So, despite a slight issue everything is otherwise on schedule? Great! Thanks for the update!
Thanks!
So Switch sold SO much NPD couldn't process it right? ;)
That data is exactly the reason why companies pay 6 figures for those reports.
It's obvious that the delay of official NPD numbers is caused by some human assets along the beautiful but complicated digital assembly lines of data compiling. This is totally understandable and should be tolerated for the moment as to err is human, erare humanus est. On the other hand it's just another sign that there's room for improvement to secure safe distribution by minimizing potential sources of disturbances in the future.
It's a blessing that Artificial Intelligence is on a good way not only to support data miners and analysts, but also to by and by take off completely the burden of responsibility for such a delicate affair as consumer reports from the shoulders of, per definition, fallible biological entities. Among the companies who will enable a better, safer and cleaner future for all of us is Microsoft who just started a wonderful informercial campaign about how much AI will enhance our lives.
So whenever self-learning systems, neuronal networks and other blessings will help us to better distribute and dispense valuable and limited resources like water for a sustainable agricultural industry, filter techniques for a cleaner and healthier internet by definition of the ruling class and insectoid killer drone swarms against soft targets, your purchase of a videogame entertainment system will be a small but welcome contribution.
They made you work the weekend I guess?
And my Switch / Jif Peanut Butter swap doesn't seem so ridiculous right now! :P
Yeah, Smash is super popular here. Literally no one I know has no interest in it. I don't want exact numbers but maybe what growth it has had compared to previous Ninty consoles or PS4/Xbox One
I assumed as much. But historical data would be a fun throwback...maybe when Mat isn't dealing with a delay and what will likely be a busy few weeks.
If they work for a Nintendo I believe they have an idea of the amount of unities they sold during the Christmas.
They are trying to figure out how to word the PR to not sound like a total let down after all the hype I brought
Nintendo: "Hey we sold 1.7 million which is a ton and more than last year! That's awesome guys! Right! Right!? Right..........errrr......
