Happened in 2017 even when PS4 had price cuts.Is there a reason why so many people are predicting the Xbox One to outsell the PS4 by 300k - 500k?

.I dont give out hard data unit predictions
Right now all I'm projecting are
Switch over 2 million
Xbox One around a mil give or take a bit
PS4 under a million

Oh yeah, shouldn't the fact that Cyber Monday isn't tracked for december be there too ?

That's interesting, why is that that Software is harder to predict than hardware ? Just curious
Xbox had deals all 2018 and didn't beat PS4 any month.PS4 had 0 deals at 0 retailers in December
The Xbox One was $100 off on the S and the X in December. November was already very close and that was with the $199 Spidey PS4
Hmm? I'm not saying software is hard to predict
I'm saying there will be some major SMASHing headlines for software as well
Except if you read up on historical trends you'll see that Xbox is relatively much stronger than playstation during December. Especially if it has significantly better deals
Inch resting.
Beat it in December.
As in extremely underestimating everything but Nintendo. :) (I kid)

Not in 2018. In 2017. Or maybe you already have the data.
Several others have data, and it's been a discussion in the previous NPD thread for weeks now.
There was a guy with data on November npd thread saying Xbox had a bad start in December. So who knows.Several others have data, and it's been a discussion in the previous NPD thread for weeks now.

Halo 3 did ~3.3M in 2007 in 11 tracked days per NPD, for its first month total.
Smash Ultimate was sitting at >3.0M (physical + digital) through 11 tracked days per Nintendo, and then had another 18 days within the tracking period to go, including pre-Christmas week and weekend, Christmas week, pre-NY weekend and NY week.
NPD only reports physical for Nintendo software. My guess is with those 18 extra days it came close to doubling that figure through Jan 4, as Switch hardware would have really hit a frenzy in those days prior to Christmas and Smash was probably a popular 1st or 2nd software choice, then of course continued to be a popular software choice post-Christmas with gift-cards/gift-money. High 5-6M total (retail + digital) for the full Dec NPD tracking period, with physical representing probably ~75-80% for a substantial new NPD record for 1st month single-platform title (in the vicinity of 5M, mid-$30M in revenue terms with an ASP of >$60.00).
I'm not sure why you quoted me. I was merely linking what I thought was the clearest hint Benji made to possible a big December headline. Doesn't mean there won't be others.
Good luck with that PS4 number, friend.
A post of mine happened to be at the top of your link discussing Smash U sales.
