NPD November 2018: All three consoles over 1.3m for the month
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
I find the response to be quite outrageous
I know you are probably joking but did it really chart?
Hey, sorry to bother you but any chance there is PSVR numbers?
Pretty sure it wouldn't be on the console list, I was just asking in general.
This is the tweet I was referring to, not the one you guys keep misinterpreting. He's obviously referring to December lol.
Its not even close Pokemon smash and second year hype is way bigger than a 5 year old console no matter what game is realeased.
I've always said this. GTAV PS4Bone was a complete remaster with massive new features, much more than many other games actually branded remaster or Deluxe or HD (eg Mario Kart DX).
But people seem to take the titles at face value and say they are the same game, but the likes of Mario Kart 8 and DX, TLOU and Remastered are separate.
Yeah, I mean, in the end, the race between PS4 and Switch will be close. I edited out the other part of my post because it pointed the picture that the Switch and PS4 (and Xbox) were close to each other this month. That may not be true, but the PS4 can still be the best selling console of the year if the Switch doesn't overcome the gap.
Sharing the stage. <3
Truly the most fitting year to have done this.
About 800k apparently. So a big task to outsell it by that margin - was always going to be close but would think the Switch sneaks it considering how well Smash is doing and presumably driving hardware.
I mean a few hundred thousand difference doesn't really matter anyway - basically even with both selling like crazy
For Nintendo, I don't think so. It looks like they have an insane year lined up.
That doesn't imply that switch and PS4 will be close in December, just that it might not quite make up the current YoY gap of around 800K.
Are the SNES/NES Classic classified as consoles? Any numbers availabe for those? Will PSX Classic be tracked for December?
I can't even tell if you're being serious.
It was evident from the onset that this Pokemon, regardless of the quality, was not for the hardcore Pokemon crowd. The hype for Pokemon was absolutely nowhere near where it usually is. This was clear by its sales.
Smash alone does not a year make.
Sony's hype machine was in full force with GoW, Spider-Man, Read Dead, Black Ops 4.
Switch doing as well as it has thus far is way more impressive, easily.
And this without digital sales (because NPD has no digital sales data for Switch).
I wasn't implying about December. I was talking about the end of the year and who is going to get overall for the year. Obviously December's total is going to make or break that depending on how much more the Switch sells than PS4. That's what I meant by close.
Fallout 76 did not sell worse then New Vegas. It sold worst physically. Digital sales for 76 make up anywhere from 30-50%
Agree it's really less relevant who "won" when they both are doing great.
With a 800k gap I would still expect Switch to edge out a close victory, but it doesn't seem certain.
Not sure what anyone was minterpreting then? I think at this point the total sales for the year are going to be fairly close between the PS4 and switch and pretty much everyone would agree with that.
MS might be the most impressive even if technically they finished just a tad below the other two in units sold.
XBox brand is still quite strong in the US and XBox One X has really turned things around for them.

Wut. I was just pointing out that we can speculate for ages but no real data to go off of. If 3rd parties suddenly released day and date on a Nintendo system would they perform just as well as they do on PS/Xbox/PC and therefore knock all of the first party stuff down? No one knows, all we know is that 3rd party is strong on PS/Xbox and not on Nintendo. It would be really interesting if GTA6, COD, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, etc all releases on a Nintendo console day 1.
No, Cess was quoting the wrong tweet so his response to me was making no sense lol. Sorry for the confusion.
It did great, Phil and the team have really turned that ship around and it will hopefully give Sony a run for its money next gen !
Price promotions are working wonders for BFV
Its launch was really muted but has since legged pretty well considering the soft launch thanks to deep discounts.
Still not a good thing for EA overall as they are having to resort to driving down prices to move units but it's not quite the disaster it could have been looking at just pre-orders / launch sales

Are those the only other platforms Nintendo has produced besides Switch? What I asked about was literally quoted.
This industry has never been on a healthier state in terms of sales and relationships. What a time to enjoy this hobby. What a time to see this industry flourish.

Interesting info. Thank you. Still, watching your multi million dollar franchise falling to <$30 AA tier must sting a bit. Still, business is business.
How is AC Odyssey doing? I think Ubisoft deciding it was going to a single player game facing off against RDR2 and SM2 and the rest of the holidays is kind of brave, if a bit pitiful.
I dont usually post in these threads, but I wanted to congratulate all three nintendo, xbox, and playstation! This is pretty awesome news.
Happy holidays everybody!
Happy holidays everybody!
Because there's 0 reason for it to exist when main games are on the same console and with more features.
