NPD December 2020: CoD #1, Cyberpunk #2, AC Valhalla #3, Miles Morales #4 ; Switch #1 HW in units & revenue ; Yearly SW Charts
- Thread starter Deleted member 15360
- Start date
- Sales
Like with most bundles, I have to assume the software value is 0 on NPD tracking and the price revenue goes into Accessories in this case.
That, and I'm pretty sure that NPD doesn't count download tokens to begin with.
The days of NPD threads being as long as the ones on GAF are long gone.
No real surprises. The Switch has control of the market and is not particularly supply constrained.
Yeah, Media Create and Famitsu Charts on Japan are pretty populated these days.
last week I believe we reached page 30 I guess... I don't know, They discuss things A LOT...
I guess getting data weekly has its own benfits
Switch has dominated the last two years and there is way less data compared to the old days.
yup
+ nothing to get mad about
when NSW, PS5, xbox start actually going at it later this year, and exclusives release, it'll perk up somewhat lol
No surprises and no numbers. Also no major records or anything this month.
I have a feeling that we haven't seen the peak of Switch sales yet. I think this year is gonna be their biggest year yet and finally after that we will begin to see the decline. That pretty much guarantees they'll hit 100 million units and my bet is that they will be the closest console to hitting DS/PS2 numbers.
100m is already pretty much guaranteed. It will be at ~80m by now.
Yes, Metroid, you know, the series that has sold... 17 million... less than many singular entries on the Switch. The series where the highest selling game is under 3 million... and on average sells about 1-2 million.

Sony isn't "winning" so fanboys aren't going to gloat. Long live the reign of Nintendo

Having numbers help
Revenue charts while the best way to measure , unit charts are more fun to discuss as we can backcalculate the numbers similar to pal charts

So Switch is ~flat in November and December. now I wonder if they did reach the 12m ww shipment I estimated for the quarter. They should be close at least.
Anyway, really great results despite not reaching very optimistic estimations and I think this fiscal year is probably peak. it would be really hard to match, even Q4 is going very strongly right now it seems.

With regards to activity, less data is notable, but even months where we got leaks this year weren't big. IIRC we didn't get a leak for June 2018 at the time but it got way more activity than say Dec 2018 (back when we had the pork) by comparison.
Things are predictable for now and with both HD twins supply constrained there's nothing to war over. A lot of the decline is just less obnoxious fanboying and that isn't a real loss.
With that said the loss of insiders of all sorts and Mat has really hampered the discourse here too. Even if they weren't giving us raw NPD data it really elevated the discussion. These threads haven't been the same since.

25 months as #1. I can't see another platform beating that anytime soon.
Even when PS5 and xbox stock gets normalised I can't see either hitting a streak like that.

It'll honestly be shocking if there is any competition on this front until November, so 35 is basically guaranteed.
Well they set that record in September IIRC, they're just adding to it now.
Plus Xbox gamers have really dropped off since MS will probably never win an NPD again.
Do we have an estimated on the total sales of the Switch so far worldwide?
Last number I remember was 60 million, but that was last year.

I think the Mario Maker appeal is just more limited than one would expect. Games, where content is created by users, have been struggling across the board. Look at Dreams failing to make a splash and Little Big Planet falling off hard. I think those attracted to those types of games have moved to GaaS games, PC mods, or something else.
That said, Mario Maker 2 is an undisputed success. It will sell close to 10 million by the end of its run. That would be lauded as a major success under any other circumstance. Like, I think Ghosts of Tsushima might eventually get to that amount for example. When you hit a critical mass of Mario games on a platform, certain ones are going to be prioritized less than the core 2D and 3D games. While it ididn't chart in the Top 10 here, I'm sure we will see it shipped a cool million or more so far this year.
It was 68 million at the end of September. It's definitely over 80 million by the end of December.
No actual numbers released plus Sony and MS gamers have moved on or don't do battle because Nintendo is dominating. Although during the Wii era on GAF, NPD threads were more livelier with people posting meme's like Mama_Robotnik and talking about sales. Also Nintendo doesn't gloat like Sony or MS PR, they're lowkey. I betcha if MS was No. 1 in NPD sales, Phil Spencer would be yelling through the rooftops.
People will start appearing once PS5 reclaims the top spot. If something I have learned from this forum, when Nintendo does great barely moves the thread, Nintendo fails... A lot of people start commenting lol. I find it funny.
Remember the massive thread about Animal Crossing New Horizons becoming the best selling game of all time in Japan within like 6 months of launch?
Yeah me neither.
There is an individual thread for like every nintendo game's record breaking sales every time sales reports come. Not sure where this idea of Nintendo being an underdog is coming from.
I remember when Switch failed to reach their forecast in 2018?
And when Switch shipped more in 2019 than any year of PS4? No thread lol
There is, but not many comments. Compare a Nintendo is doomed to a Nintendo is breaking records and see the amount of pages.
Valhalla did great, and I'm amazed to be immortal so high. I'm gonna try both when the gold edition (with season pass) gets to 30 bucks.
Also, I don't find a Switch appealing at all, so I'm missing out like half of the games in there

Super Mario 3D All-Stars has now outsold the 2020 sales of every game on Amazon except Animal Crossing
Super Mario 3D All-Stars already outsold the 2020 sales of The Last of Us Part 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and the Neon Switch console itself on Amazon and is one of the best selling games of 2020 in 4 days. Utterly insane, and clearly the easy ports paid off for them very well...

That happens with most companies. Microsoft and even anti-Sony stuff is always popular.
You actually proved storres' point with those threads. Only the 3D collection was a big thread, the others are 3-6 pages, that's very underwhelming for era.Super Mario 3D All-Stars has now outsold the 2020 sales of every game on Amazon except Animal Crossing

No official numbers leaked, a constant dominant platform, and most of the bad faith actors either got banned or lost interest and retreated to their respective OTs.
That's the recipe for smaller sales threads.
Then again we do still see them from time to time. People just ignore them now.

NPD threads have become boring. Switch's performance is no longer surprising. We need PS5/XSX to start being more competitive to make NPDs fresh again. March NPD thread should be fun though. MH Rise's sales performance will probably cause a bit of a kerfuffle.
Also this lol
And it's not hard to figure out why a thread about SM3DAS is long.
