Eh why are you overreacting to PS4 numbers? There were no deals for it, while the Xbox One had quite a few deals. With what you shared, it looks like the Xbox One had much more selling power over the PS4 last holiday.
I mean you even said PS4 sales could be as low as 700k IIRC, so I dont understand the shock

What's the highest December this gen?
I mean for a specific console.
Benji MatP mentioned beforehand that sales shifted more towards November this holidays, you think that's what could be happening here?
Any thoughts on why? I'd have figured the numbers would still be pretty good as the PS4 has just been a beast overall, even if they wouldn't be as good as last yearIt's the lowest number for PS4 in December ever
So yeah, really bad
Nearly 1.8 million for Switch sounds good.

Was it him? My mistake then.
Oh wow.
The ratio with the Switch dominating is probably for one sided than expected. It is just the Switch didn't perform as high as people expected. I suspected this may be because the other systems did even worse than expected.here it goes.. btw please we don't need some cinematic experience to appreciate these numbers, it''d be wise for them to remain where they are.
Switch: 1
XBO: 0.52
PS4: 0.45
Other: 0.76
3DS: 0.19
YoY:
Switch: +18%
XBO: -32%
PS4:-24%
Other: +52%
3DS: -56%
Yep correct.
Switch is the best selling platform for the year now. Outsold PS4 by about 200k-300k units for the year
Crazy close
now that we know Decembers NPD, anyone have the(confirmed) live count for switch sales atm? Can it reach that glorious 20 million by the end of march?

Still enough to set a record and propel it yearly number 1, apparently.Heh, so the Switch numbers aren't as high expected. Still, not exactly bad numbers, are they?
Any thoughts on why? I'd have figured the numbers would still be pretty good as the PS4 has just been a beast overall, even if they wouldn't be as good as last year
The problem is we went for higher ground when the record was still at ground level.
Why are you so defensive? Benji is an expert. If he says ps4 sales are really bad, they're really bad.
Because it's still terrible?
I expected it to be terrible, and that's what happened. I'm not shocked at all, more just it's crazy to see
Being a beast is nothing to the bullet of age and consumerism.
Ahh...so even the PS4 is slowing down then, huh? Honestly pretty impressive it took this longWell, the generation is ending. It stands to reason.
Switch is technically next-gen, after all. We're in Gen 9 and all these Gen 8 consoles keep selling!
So pretty good then. Not sure why we'd have a meltdown over that :PStill enough to set a record and propel it yearly number 1, apparently.
Benji Protection Force Tally
[✓] Switch becomes US best selling console for the year
[✓] Switch sells more than both Xbox and Playstation combined
[X ] Switch sells at or above 2 million in December
[✓] Switch > XB1 > PS4
Q3 result was always gonna be where we'd find out whether the 20m target is achievable or not.I think we'll see how Switch performed other regions in 01/31. I'm really looking forward for the Nintendo report.
There a reason I kept being "conservative" on Switch numbers despite my data projecting it so high
During Holidays stuff fluctuates. Glad I stood at 2 million and didn't go higher
2019 is going to be a disaster for Xbox and PS4 hardwate comps. Buckle up
What's the highest December this gen?
I mean for a specific console.
They only have themselves to blame if they don't hit 20 million.But yeah with that, Nintendo can probably write off 20 million. Its not happening
in before meltdownsBut yeah with that, Nintendo can probably write off 20 million. Its not happening
It's still gonna be fairly close though, right?But yeah with that, Nintendo can probably write off 20 million. Its not happening
Damn fine performance for the yr from PS4 and Switch.Rounded to nearest 10K YTD 2018
NSW: 5640K
PS4: 5330K
XB1: 4340K
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.
