Are there any big releases next week? If not with the smash hype I can't see it being up much week on week.
This December would be a disaster for PS4 if Sony didn't act. There will be big improvement at hardware, it won't be far behind last year, but it could backfire at software.
does this even take into account the transition to Digital over physical media? I feel this is a point most people overlook when comparing current numbers to older
Retail software YoY
PS4: 9.58m (+7%)
SWI: 9m (+63%)
Wow, so ps4 has sold more at retail this year then switch. Color me surprised. With digital it should be well ahead. Who finishes top including digital by years end? Could be close.

What's the data for the statement "around 15 million games would need to be sold in December just for the year to be flat " from Game Data Library?
Either I'm not understanding some context, or their numbers are off. The numbers I'm finding suggest something closer to 11 million to be flat. Even their own numbers suggest something less ("Current sales are at 22M").
It's easy to look at these numbers and think it's soon and gloom. However can someone show me a digital sales report? That HAS to be trending upwards right?

Sony shares numbers with NPD and also in UK starting on 2019.No one can show you since Nintendo & Sony don't share digital numbers. But with a 15% digital sales would be around 21.4M units sold across PS4/Switch, for games that have a physical release. There is a also a lot of digital only titles that have done great numbers at a lower price across the PS4/Switch - add to that different promotions for bigger games across the two ecosystems and the picture for Sony and Nintendo is probably a lot better than what we are seeing from the official trackers.
You mean first week sales?Looking at impressions from retailers this is the picture for Friday more or less.
Smash ~ 2 x Pokemon
What i meant was: first friday x first friday or first friday x current friday ?Looking at impressions from retailers this is the picture for Friday more or less.

if it does take into account digital, then yes, that is a market reduction.This from Media Create includes Digital.
(Lower part hardware sales, middle part retail software sales, higher part download sales).
2018 will be down from 2017 for sure.
The question is if it will be it is lower than 2014-5-6 or not.
Oh boy. The number for Smash is going to be wild.Looking at impressions from retailers this is the picture for Friday more or less.

I feel that the percentage is higher than 15% , especially on PS4. If I don't remind wrong capcom digital revenue last year was above 50%.
if it does take into account digital, then yes, that is a market reduction.
then it goes to seek who is the one being the most at fault for it Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo (IMO the market reduction is mostly on Sony side cause Consoles decline leaving whatever is left of the market basically a monopolly for Nintendo)
I'm still surprised and it shows overall software sales on the ps4 are healthy. If you add digital ps4 will be a few million more in the lead. Would it be enough to be leading after another month?The PS4 has more games coming out. Third parties have been slow with Switch but they're all in on PS4. All those small or average sellers add up to a lot.
December with Smash and Pokémon will probably put Switch in the lead for the year. Especially since Switch software tends to perform very well during the holidays.I'm still surprised and it shows overall software sales on the ps4 are healthy.

What 3rd party releases/released title might ride the wave of Pokemon and Smash
I assume most people are expecting a stronger January for Switch as well due to spillover from Smash launching so late in the year?
NSMBUDX also should help in making January stronger than last year, but yes, next January should be stronger than this year's January.What 3rd party releases/released title might ride the wave of Pokemon and Smash

Switch software is outpacing 3DS software launch aligned despite lower install base and not counting eShop only titles where it Switch is much stronger.And then we need to consider that Switch software compared to its number of units out there is very strong: it was only slightly behind 3DS despite having a sizable hardware gap.
Oh, I see. I didn't look at the latest Nintendo numbers but went by the conversations that have been had about it. I should definitely have used that number for a more accurate statement, sorry about that!Switch software is outpacing 3DS software launch aligned despite lower install base and not counting eShop only titles where it Switch is much stronger.
Nintendo quarter reports are public and nothing is more reliable than them, I don't know why this story keeps reproduced.
