The meltdowns were legendary that month 😂

It's fair to say that Switch sales was not as good as many of us thought it would be, but December was always very volatile and hard to estimate, more details to follow shortly.

 

[srtrestre]

Why would there be a meltdown? Magicpork's early info from the people they spoke to was that it could be close to 3m. If it's not as high as that, it could still be up to (closer to) 2m and higher.

Switch: 1
XBO: 0.52
PS4: 0.45
Other: 0.76
3DS: 0.19

YoY:
Switch: +18%

PS4:-24%
Other: +52%
3DS: -56%

Interesting. So switch nowhere near where expected. Overal HW looks very average.

 

[Benji]

So Switch below 2 million by quite a bit. My data definitely was Switch heavy

That said those PS4 and Xbox numbers are abysmal

 

[LonestarZues]

So does 1=1 million?

 

[Deleted member 59]

So Switch at about 1.7m? (Did it so 1.5 last year?)

 

[El Bombastico]

Those numbers aren't good...for anyone.

You rock, MP. Thanks for everything you do.

 

[Sander VF]

I wonder what skewed the data to inflate the Switch forecasts so much.

Also how is this looking for the yearly totals?

huh, I mean, sure I guess. That was anticlimactic.
Switch predictions were definitely off, but nothing insane

Thanks either way, MagicPorcine. Hoping to see a meltdown or two

 

[Benji]

So ranking I was spot on, just Switch softer than anticipated

Those PS4 numbers are WOW bad, and MS not much better

 

[SpottieO]

Is that some sort of multiplier from the previous month?

Thanks you for the info!!!
Finally all that shitposting will stop

 

[Vena]

So Switch at about 1.7m?

Click to shrink...

Depends on what last year was but I think its something like 1.7-1.8 million. So pretty good all in all. The others are real bad though.

 

[Deleted member 37233]

What's Other, and why did it increase by over 50%?

Click to shrink...

Probably the various plug and play devices? I'm not sure.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

So I'm guessing at those numbers the min-max of worldwide Switch shipments can be 9-10 mil?

What's Other, and why did it increase by over 50%?

Click to shrink...

Plug n Play consoles. Even if the PS Classic didn't do so hot it added numbers to the existing Nintendo ones.

 

[El Bombastico]

What's "Other?"

NES and PS classics?

 

[Procheno]

A wet fart for mostly everyone

 

[NSESN]

Those numbers aren't good...for anyone.

Switch numbers are good, ust not as good as people expected

 

[Deadpixel1229]

So still the best sales month of the generation. Everyone can go home now.

 

[LonestarZues]

Those PS and Xbox numbers don't look good.

 

[NekoNeko]

nintendo had a good run.
3rd party announcement incoming in 2019?
