Kinect came out around the equivalent timeframe, right?
The entirety of it must be concentrated on Era, then :P
In a positive way for the game or negative?There is a major disconnect going on because of where BFV is in placement and how it actually performed
I hope I am wrong. It was said by Beji:Monthly sales are down YoY--though whether 13% is "sharply" could be debated--but you're wrong about YTD. The PS4 is up over 2017 through November, and most likely will end the year that way.
2018 will be a down year for Sony. They shipped 19 million units in 2017. That's not happening this year
It's came in November 2010 which equivalent to November 2018.
not very frequently, but I do wonder about some of the takes and illogical conclusions we see all the time.I... uh... I don't know how to respond to this in any manner that doesn't make it sound like I'm patronizing you, but think about it just a little bit, you don't even need to overthink it or anything. You're asking what'd happen if they didn't have a deal during the one month where people expect big deals. You can arrive at the answer by yourself, come on.
It misses a few DS's November.Best hardware for November. If something's missing (like an unknown PSone performance) feel free to fill the gap !
* Wii (November 2008 with 2,04 million)
* Xbox 360 (November 2011 with 1,70 million)
* PlayStation 4 (November 2017 with 1,69 million)
* PlayStation 4 (November 2015 with 1,54 million)
* PlayStation 4 (November 2018 with 1,48 million)
PS2 is the highest selling console of all time.Any console will fall behind the X360 at one point as the highest selling console of all time.
No, Kinect came out during "this month" as the equivalent timeframe.
Wild guess: I think people are wondering about physical sales because the game seems to be doing well on the US eShop recently (has been #2 for a few days now, although I guess it just dropped to #3 recently.)What's with all the Diablo 3 interest this month when it launched on Switch in last month's reporting and charted?

Probably the E-shop rankings it's had. And that really cheap Black Firday mistake sale by Wal-Mart.What's with all the Diablo 3 interest this month when it launched on Switch in last month's reporting and charted?

Not for me. I'm the video game vexer, and have a curse that inflicts pain on me when video games sell well. From my lair I hatch nefarious plots to destroy video games forever.Glad to see that everyone did great. A healthy industry is good for everyone.
Sony projects an 8% drop for FY2018 as of Q3. In first two quarters they were within 5% of 2017, so presumably chances are good they'll hit their projection.
What do you mean by almost a different game?Ah okay. Hopefully we can add eShop soon.
Civ on Switch is great. Almost a different game.
Well even doubling sells would remain a niche product. It won't be mainstream anytime soon but I could see it become a slow constant burner.VR remain really niche. Discounts did lift units but not to a degree that would be considered any sort of major performance.
That said I know first hand VR doesnt actually cost Sony that much in terms of investment and internally its seen as a sort of passion project. I wouldn't be too worried about it.
But yeah its certainly not any sort of breakout mainstream performance. It's more a small, dedicated community

well there we go.Anyone joining the DLP agrees to share data back to Jan 2012. So yeah, big restatement were that to happen.

PS2 is the highest selling console of all time.
PS2 = +46 million.
X360= +43 million.
Oh, ok. I understand what you mean. I thought the game itself had significant differences somehow.Anyone joining the DLP agrees to share data back to Jan 2012. So yeah, big restatement were that to happen.
Its definitely civ, but I find myself playing it differently on switch than PC. Hard to explain, but in my head they're almost different experiences?
I dont see how it stops being niche tbh, not unless we start seeing exponential growth... and that's not super likely. Maybe next gen.

It shouldn't be hard to believe, because it's doing basically no different than it ever has. PS4 has always had a minor lead overall in the US. The only exception was at the start of the gen, when during 2014 PS4 opened up a 30% lead. But that's easiest when LTD totals are still low, and the end of that year Xbox One pushed the lead back down to ~10%, establishing their pattern of middling years with good holidays. This means there's been some seesawing, but gradually PS4 has pushed further and further ahead. They finished 2015 with an 11.5% lead, ended 2016 ahead by 12.1%, 2017 by 14.7%, and 2018 likely around 15%. In other words, they're still making the gap bigger, not just in absolute units but by percentage as well.I almost can't believe that the Xbox one is doing so well in NA
As mentioned, Kinect was "last month" launch-aligned. It's part of the reason why this is the first November where Xbox One is below 360 launch-aligned. (The other factor is Xbox 360 S, which launched "six months ago" in the aligned reference frame.)
Pretty likely, but not guaranteed. PS4 has indeed started lagging 360 "now that" the 360 S has been released. But it had built a very large lead--about 4.5m--and eroding that will still take a while. For example, if PS4 is down YoY by 15% in 2019, and then down another 15% from there the following year, the 360 still doesn't pass it until mid-December 2020. The presumed announcement of PS5 sometime earlier in the year will cause a dip in PS4 sales, so the crossover would occur a couple months earlier...but still basically as the generation ends. In the chance--not likely but not impossible--that a permanent PS4 pricecut next year stems the dropoff to only 10% each year (i.e. 5m in 2019 and 4.5m in 2020), then 360 wouldn't pass PS4 until 2021.
Worldwide sell-in and US sell-through do not move in lockstep, and there was no reason to disbelieve Benji ; he was just stating publicly available info. For the first nine months of 2018, PS4 shipments were 800k behind 2017. Given that Sony are projecting lower FY shipments, we can assume this quarter will be down too. So PS4 worldwide shipments being lower in 2018 is pretty much assured, and has been for a while.Yes, he talked about WW shipments, but I doubt it will be very different. When he said that, I thought he was wrong, but now, after this NPD result... I don't know, but it's seems possible to me, if not likely.

MatPiscatella When someone joins the digital panel, do they give the total sold for titles before January 2012 or is that month treated as Month 1?
Not when I'm asking about the traditional space. And certainly not considering Nintendo's own talk of consolidation and how they believe the mobile market is separate, a third pillar, a gateway to purchasing traditional hardware, etc.
Well for one there'd need to be mainstream marketing spend associated with. But at least back in 2015-16, none of the major VR makers saw this as anything other than a niche for foreseeable future, so their investment has been proportional.I dont see how it stops being niche tbh, not unless we start seeing exponential growth... and that's not super likely. Maybe next gen.
Does NPD share partial data with any customers throughout the month like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo etc? Or does everyone only see it when it gets releasedI dont see any data until well after the month has closed. I didn't see the complete data for today's release until yesterday, for example.
Positions don't tell you much though, we know it's down from BF1.
It's below month 2 Black Ops 4 and RDR2.
If you combine Pikachi and Evee, Pokémon Let's Go would be number 3. And we know that Let's Go did 1.5M (with digital and bundles, but before the end of the month).It's below month 2 Black Ops 4 and RDR2.
Also positions only give relative data to other games. #1 can sell $130,000,000, #2 $120,000,000 and #3 $50,000,000.
