Announcement of Peggle 2 at EA E3 2013 conference.
Well yeah, obviously. But I don't know how much of the market eBay represents. If they are 1% of the markets, for example, then 2*6646 = 13292 units would stand for 1.3M units sold on BF + CM, just to illustrate. Considering they name Switch as a top selling product, I doubt the number should be considered low tbh.They could be limiting stock for the simple fact that they will be releasing the ps5 soonish I reckon. Every person that buys a PS4 now is 1 less that will buy the ps5
They "sold a Switch every 13 Seconds"
86,400 Seconds in one day = 6,646 switch's sold lol.
It doesn't sound like that much for One day on one site.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was true last year also.
Surely these insiders can't see total sales, rather a small slice of the pie?
I'm not including Mat Piscatella since he is a known NPD employee.
Does the NPD track marketplace sites like eBay or something like Facebook's marketplace?

I'm starting to think PS4 actually isn't #1 in November.
Either that Spider-Man bundle really had a lot of stock and sold faster than all of us are predicting (which is why it was barely on sale during black friday) or Nintendo actually has a shot at #1 this month.
If Sony doesn't have something prepared for December, it's going to be like last year and they are coming out in 3rd.

That's what I'd like to know too. Will the $179 Switches be included in NPD?
Considering we have Switch doing a confirmed over 800k on BF week alone, yeah

Switch and PS4 are going to be very close come NPD in November. And likely unless Sony have something big planned for December Switch may end up the best selling hardware for the Year
Congrats to MatPiscatella you called it
Well they said it beat Wiis best during the same time period which was 800k
It wasn't the same amount of days in the comp. Which makes it a bit difficult to say it's over 800k. It likely would be though.
(Sorry for being pedantic lol)
Outside of some promotions Sony does not seem to give a fuck about doing huge hardware numbers anymore. Probably because revenue from the gaming division is completely off the charts by now.
They should have a fairly accurate idea how much demand for $199 PS4 is because they never hit that price point for a outside a very short promotion days. To me they are ready to sacrifice the profitability of the future to the revenues of today. They can simply hit 20m for the fiscal year if they had reduced the price of PS4 to $199 from November onwards.I think even Sony wasn't expecting how much demand their system still has after 5 years.
They stocked more this BF that last year but still were unable to keep up demand.
Lol, for a second I thought you meant it'd outsell the entire PS3 LTD in just this one month.
Right. Sony is going to sell whatever they ship. The $199 version is just going to sell much faster but with loss revenue (even though the amount per unit sold may be small, if any is loss at all). There is also the risk of shortages.You have to think about how much Sony is willing to 'lose' on those bundles, they're the market leader, they dont need to 'win bf' (even if they do), so it's not about them not being able to read demand imo
Good good, we're now in uncharted waters.
Lol, for a second I thought you meant it'd outsell the entire PS3 LTD in just this one month.
Whew.
I think that would be a given, I'm expecting both PS4 and Xbox to be down this year and both combined last year did like 2.5 million or less.Alright, i'll make this prediction.
Switch > PS4 + XB1 in December
Maybe i'll change idea with the November results, but right now this is looking very likely imo.

Where does Xbox figure in all this? Guess its highly unlikely we will have YoY bump since Xbox One X was last year?
Units, Revenue or both?I'd be very surprised (shocked really) to see Nov YoY growth for Xbox given the X launch comp.
