For now... yes.
was it ?i though from may 22nd or something it started
Oh nice!Good thing I didn't fall asleep just yet!
PS4: ~223K
NSW: ~167K
XB1: ~145K
So, if I'm not mistaken the PS4 just had its best May yet (above May 2016, which had Uncharted 4, by about 15k) and with no sale. In its 5th year.
And looking at the line-up of games coming September onwards, I honestly could see it be up yoy.

I think if they ship 11.3m in Q3 they won't reach 20 million.
Q1 ~2m
Q2 ~2.5m
Q3 ~12.5m
Q4 ~3m
But they can ship a bit more in Q2 and Q4 to make up Q3 < 12m.
I got lost here, you mean 11.31M World wide and 3,81M NA only?? , right?
Well they are doing so many deals every month that it is hard to track.
To be honest i can see a similar scenario.
PS4 is not a good comparation because it has different sales compared to Nintendo consoles in the year, we all know that in term of percents, holidays are huge for Nintendo.
Switch may not sell 3.81 million in a month only in USA, but, i can see Nintendo match the 11.31 million units Wii was able to ship worldwide the last quarter of 2009.
Wii sold 5.6 million in the USA from October to December 2009, Switch won't reach that but i can still see big sales in USA (around 4 million) and better sales in the rest of the world: feeling like Europe for Switch will be better than for Wii, and of course Japan will be way up YOY.
Xbox is getting promotions like every month.didnt xbox 1 have 50$ price cut in NA?if so this result for XBX1 isn't very promising .
Or they will overship like Sony did in 2016 .Wii still shipped 4.22 million to ''others'' region during that holiday quarter. US is the strongest region of Switch (just like for Wii) so with that hypothetical 4 million US sales it's not gonna match those Wii ''others'' numbers either. Only region where it will have better shipments is Japan and even there Wii still had solid holiday numbers in 2009 and shipped over a million for quarter. I guess if they go all in with price promotions too but that then will cut the profit forecast so I predict that they will just lower the hw forecast to more realistic number (like 18 million).
specially with 199$ end of the year promotionAt this point i think the PS4 forcast was really too conservative and could easily exceeded.
Do you have software numbers btw? Can you give us something like the hardware rankings?As usual, just going to share a few numbers
The relative sales volumes of game hardware were approximately:
YoY
On the software side the best sellers were:

sony not cutting price is absolutely selfish.
it seems like all they care about is profit.
*arrogantsony not cutting price is absolutely selfish.

It all depends on the deals they offer this holiday. If they do 199€ with enough stock they could easily blow past 20 million ww.So, if I'm not mistaken the PS4 just had its best May yet (above May 2016, which had Uncharted 4, by about 15k) and with no sale. In its 5th year.

Somewhere, a Kotaku editor is jamming his/her fist in the air and shouting: "NO!!"Detroit moving so many systems to hardcore QD fans PS4 just had its best May ever.....I wish lol. But hey I finally bought one just to play it.
Like all companies everywhere.sony not cutting price is absolutely selfish.

"They" are a company.. thats like literally the reason they even exist..
Whew
Is that a shipped or "sold through" goal?
Shipped Fiscal Year (April to March)
This is what I predicted in the other thread. They are going to ship the 20 million no matter what. Retailers will be primed to order as many Switches as nintendo can provide in Q3 with the launches of pokemon and smash.
Do not confuse USA with America. If they sell 4 million in USA, then America sales should probabily be something like 4.7 million, and shipments could be over 5 million. So something like:
5 million in America
4 million in "others"
2.5 million in Japan
For a total of 11.5 million worldwide , seem realistic to me.
Ummmm.... yeasony not cutting price is absolutely selfish.
it seems like all they care about is profit.
Shipped...April to March.
Here is the performance of QD's other titles in their first NPD month:
Beyond: ~125k (26 days)
Heavy Rain: 220k (5 days)
Detroit has more days than HR so hopefully it beat it or got close
Well I guess we will see. I just don't see how there would so insane growth to last year. Especially if they try to do this without price cut.
Demand.
Mobile is taking most of the production lines making the overall price skyrocket since early 2017.
That generate issues in supply so manufacture are increasing the price every month.

Some historical data (stolen from Welfare's post) to allow for better comparisons:
XBO:
2014 - 77k
2015 - 140k (Halo: MCC Bundle)
2016 - 107k (50$ Gift cards and Free Game GS Deal)
2017 - 109k ($299 Deal at several/every retailer)
2018 - 145k (Several Deals, State of Decay 2)
PS4:
2014 - 197k (Watch Dogs Bundle)
2015 - 153k (Trade-in Deal)
2016 - 207k (Trade-in Deal, Uncharted 4 + Bundle)
2017 - 187k (?)
2018 - 223k (Detroit, God of Legs ;) )
NSW:
2017 - ??? (supply constrained, between XBO and PS4?)
2018 - 167k (Hyrule Warriors, DK legs)
There are/were also rumors about illicit collusion regarding the production capacity. In April, there were even news about a class action suit:https://hothardware.com/news/samsung-hynix-and-micron-dram-class-action-suit-collusion
Were you expecting Q1 this year to beat Q1 last year? I was actually thinking if they end up flat they would have done well. The Switch had such a massive launch I wasn't expecting any growth Q1. I was expecting Q2 and Q3 to be better performers.
With Smash and Pokémon, which are basicallythe third and second biggest Nintendo IP? I don't see why not. (by the way the biggest one is Mario, with Mario Kart, which only got a port, so even with pretty big sales, MK8 Deluxe still can't be as big as Pokémon or Smash, at least at launch... expecially at launch)
Last year Switch did 7.24 million and only had Mario Odyssey as a notable release during the holidays. Also maybe not a definitive pricedrop, but i surely can see some kind of promotions this christmas/Blackfriday.
Then why skepticism? They can just stuff.
