Isn't the 14 million number worldwide and not US ? So your math wouldn't be correct.RDR1 lifetime was, what, 14 million or something along those lines?
40% increase would put them near 20 million units sold in 2 months.
*Adjust results based on units for RDR1 sold.
Usually they launch in the same month though. Here's CoD selling huge numbers in October, and then still outselling BFV in November.
Also damn Starlink not appearing in Switch top 10 when it had massive price cut everywhere.
I thought the PS4 would sell more at that price. But hey, I'm new to Sales Era.

@MatPiscatella I understand if you cannot give out the information but can you give an indication of it which models drove growth for PS4 and XBOX (pro/non pro and X/non X)? Did the cheaper, aggressively priced models see a higher % increase compared to the ~4K machines? I understand this is probably a dumb question but just interested.
Fallout 76... #4 without the digital numbers reported.
That's absolutely nuts unless I'm misunderstanding how the NPDs are reported.
what would a new Stadium game even do that Pokemon doesn't do now? mini games?I'm sure a new Pokemon Stadium with the full list of every Pokémon from all generations (809) would sell millions. I wonder why Nintendo never made a Pokemon Stadium 3.
Ps4 won't outsell it in December? Like it just did this November

The best calculations indicate that the Switch will outsell the PS4 by around 1m in December, which is more or less the gap between them right now.
Even though the Switch will likely overtake PS4 in Dec for the year, still a great showing by them to be as close as they are in year 5 of a console vs year 2 of a console that launched 2 of its biggest IPs.
Maybe you know something I don't but why are people thinking it will outsell the PS4 by that much
It's like people are just writing the PS4 off like it's done

It LITERALLY says that:That's not what this says though.
If I had to guess I would say:
By units:
By revenue:
- PS4
- Switch
- Xbox One
- Switch
- Xbox One
- PS4

True but aren't GoW and Spidey the two biggest exclusive IPs of this gen for Sony ?

I personally don't have any info on this, but insiders have commented that the performance of the Switch on December has been amazing (as it common with Nintendo hardware), while the PS4 have had a decent performance but the lack of any promotion is leaving it behind the Switch. As it seems Sony won't have any promotion on this month, the data seems to suggest that the Switch will out-perform the PS4 by a large margin, enough to erase the gap between them.
That was added in post.It LITERALLY says that:
"Hardware for November: PlayStation 4 was the leading hardware platform of November 2018 in unit sales. Nintendo Switch was the leading hardware platform of November 2018 in dollar sales. The PlayStation 4 remains the leader in hardware platform dollar sales year to date."
The OP portion really seems to undersell how successful Fallout 76 was despite it's issue. It's at #4 without the digital numbers reported.
Thanks. That's not as big of a spread as I thought. Some ppl were expecting Sony to sell over 2m ps4sin the predictions thread, we get leaked number percentages a few days before PR that we then extrapolate from last year's data to give us a general unit estimate.
Switch: 1356k
PS4: 1470k
XBO: 1338k
Ah, thanks for that.
Prepare for the crow, I guess.I'll eat crow if wrong but I'm going ps4 December even if it loses I don't think it will be by a million
Switch will handily outsell it. It was the top seller last year with no new big game launches, while this year has Smash. PS4 also has no significant deals for the monthPs4 won't outsell it in December? Like it just did this November
We shall see
Until TLoU hits, yes. :PTrue but aren't GoW and Spidey the two biggest exclusive IPs of this gen for Sony ?

Seems the general consumers behaviour moved to preempt the purchase of consoles during Black Friday week (November) with the deep discounts instead of waiting for the weeks closer to Christmas (December).Not a dumb question... Nov/Dec is when the lower priced SKUs will thrive. Switch is the only platform that experienced YoY growth in November, however, and sales were driven by the Neon 32GB SKU and the Mario Kart bundle.
FYI, the Switch outsold the PS4 by about 500k last December.
This year, Smash is launching and the PS4 doesn't have any deal.
I sometimes wonder if paid online is lowering Splatoon 2 sales...Switch
- Pokemon: Lets Go Pikachu
- Pokemon: Lets Go Eevee
- Super Mario Part
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Mario Odyssey
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Just Dance 2019
- Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy
- Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
above splatoon 2?
was there a sale for these 3....?
Even though the Switch will likely overtake PS4 in Dec for the year, still a great showing by them to be as close as they are in year 5 of a console vs year 2 of a console that launched 2 of its biggest IPs.
Should be noted that PS4 would have likely taken top spot in revenue if there wasn't constraint supply. Sony was fine with what they shipped.
Uh...last gen for Nintendo is the Wii.It's all about perspective. I'd argue it's just as impressive that despite a lacklustre overall lineup this year and no movement on price the switch will come close to matching the PS4's best ever year in its second year.
Truth be told both the PS4 and switch are huge successes and represent an incredible turnaround for both companies from last gen.
That first and second sentence was a late edit.It LITERALLY says that:
