Good thing I didn't fall asleep just yet!
PS4: ~223K
NSW: ~167K
XB1: ~145K
Thanks MatP ;)
Nintendo ain't on that 20 million shipped pace though?
NA? Nah, Japan they are going up so maybe, if you are gonna try to guess their 20M mark from 1 region 2 months you will need some mad skill there.
My money still on they will reach it, FY Q1 will be above FY Q1 last year world wide
What about ZhugeEx saying that sell-through numbers have lower than expected. Surely some with access to NPD, GFK, MediaCritic and who work for Niko Partners has better insight than most?
For Switch so far the trend for this quarter seems similar in Japan and US: sensible drop in April, similar/slightly better in May. June in Japan is a huge improvement YoY, let's see in a month if it's true for the US too.
No major surprises so far.
actually....DK had a couple days to chart in April, so I thought Detroit would be above it.
no, his is retail for all of them I believe.
both non nintendo and nintendo alike.

expected for emselves, going by release dates Nintendo is gearing up all bets on late Q2, Q3 Holiday and however much of that can carry on Q4 early 2018.
June seems more promising this year than last in games offering and holiday puts lasts year on shame
I ask because I'm pretty sure MatP said they delayed the reporting of the results so they get both retail and digital information.
Will it? I wonder how it will fair when last year had ARMS and Splatoon 2 to fill out those months. And the increase doesn't seem as if it's that much, so they're going to need a much bigger push if they plan to not just meet but surpass last year's sales.
EDIT: Forgot Splatoon was July which would be Q2.
True that but I am pretty sure Nintendo digital figures haven't been included in the NPD report yet. Maybe MatP can clarify this.
Oh, so digital figures aren't included for GOW and detroit etc in your ranking?
YoY 2018 is up with about 120k units or so.. Fiscal year it's pretty much flat, a 2-3k difference. With a good trend for 2018 compared to 2017 and it should continue to win every week with a good margin until Splatoon 2 week.
Damn. Should have switched my Switch and XBO numbers other way around and I would had been pretty damn close to perfect.
So XB1 continues its YOY growth without any major exclusive software being released. Wouldnt have thought a 1 week $50 price cut would increase hardware sales by that amount, but what do I know.
Those have to be the best predictions
Maybe i won :-D

I think PUBG and Fortnite are more important for the HW situation of XB1 tbh, though the price drop helps, too.
Think Nintendo is probably going to have to revise that 20 million forecast down a bit unless they are willing to price drop this year.
XBox One X I think is showing MS why they must have the better hardware versus Sony, it's given the platform a second wind in the US for sure.

What do you classify as a "major exclusive" and when was the last one released?
How do you know it is down worldwide ? I guess your are speaking about the Q1 numbers from Sony earnings, but it is shipped not sold.
Source? I thought we got concrete sales numbers only in like 2-3 markets.
PS4 sold 7 million units from January to half of June 2017.
By the end of 2017, PS4 was at 73.6 million sold, and Sony has not annunced that PS4 reached 80 million yet. They never missed a 10 million milestone, and i highly doubt they'll miss this one.
Because of that, PS4 has sold less than 6.4 million in 2018.
Now, it could be possible if they delayed the announcement for the E3, like they did last year, but E3 is over so if they didn't annunced it already, my guess is that PS4 is still under 80 million.
I think it's really close to that tho and is really a matter of days until Sony annunce it.
im sure they said 79M last week on the statement about Fortenite Account locking debacle
They just used their latest shipment figure that is 79 million (at the end of March). They were not talking about sell trough with that.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 is basically a lock to happen now. That is selling way too well for a port. Have fun Retro.
