US difference should be more than 300k when it outsold both Xbox and PS4.Where are you getting the 4 million figure from? The biggest diffrence is in Japan where it's still less than 2 million, US difference is around 300k, France gap is not known but it won't be big # wise.
Nooo it did not lolMan, the ps4 had a monster December too. I can't wait to see the numbers on this.
ResetERA -> Internet -> ResetERAWhere does that NPD data come from? Or rather, how does Direct-Feed Games have the info and seem to be the only one sharing this? Is this an NPD leak? Do other outlets have this information?
Where do these numbers come from?I mean they destroyed the competition in December even without a price drop.
December US NPD
Switch 1.77m
XB1 920k
PS4 797k
Beni suggested 300k for US which would balance out the 300k PS4 had over Switch. 4M doesn't make senseUS difference should be more than 300k when it outsold both Xbox and PS4.
Edit: oh, for the whole year you meant I think. Sorry
Where do you get this 4 million difference? US and France are extremely close. Nothing like the difference in Japan.
Yeah, sorry, that's a mistake. It's supposed to be closer to 2 million"Unless PS4 can make up almost 4 million units in deficit with rest of the world sales,,,,"
How come 4 million?
Leaks.

Leaked?- the NPD numbers leaked, you can check the NPD predictions thread too
Oh gracious Pork. Most dependable of meats.
Hey plumber boyCongrats to Nintendo but enjoy your reign for now, House of Mario!
I've been developing a console too and it will sell like crazy! Muhahahahaahaahahaha!
Your days are numbered, Nintendo Switch!
Most PS4 sales for the holiday season were on November due to the Spider Man bundle. I don't think PS4 had any special offer or discount on December, so I'd temper your expectations a bit.Man, the ps4 had a monster December too. I can't wait to see the numbers on this.
Might be worth considering that to the larger market the lineup wasn't actually underwhelming.It's surprising that it outsold it in 2018, I would have never expected with such an underwhelming lineup for most of the year.
France being Europe's Nintendoland makes me happy, bring me more Japanese weird games!
Checked Le Figaro and they said Mario Kart 8 is the 3rd best selling game of the year.
It wasn't until pokemon that a system seller came out in 2018 than it had two back to back ones. So I'd be surprised if the larger market didn't agree but both of those are two huge selling games.Might be worth considering that to the larger market the lineup wasn't actually underwhelming.
3m? These are the leaked numbers:Leaked?
It doesn't make sense as to how Switch was 1.77M, while PS4 + Xbox combined is 3M. Unless those are old numbers.

"Specifically, the group found that console sales jumped 4% compared to last December, with the Nintendo Wii unsurprisingly leading the way with 3.81 million units moved (up from 2.15 million the previous year)."Holy shit, combined!??? Can we conclude that Switch is actually performing better than Wii during it's golden era? Because this is insaneeee! And with upcoming hits like a new Animal Crossing and new Pokémon gen, this craze has no way to stop. I just wish there was a Nintendo Direct to proper the hype.
It did fine. Slightly soft. But understandable for the reasons given.800k for a system at MSRP is really good for December.
Especially since it had a $199 bundle the month before.
And then buying Mario Odyssey, and then Breath of the Wild, and then Smash, and then *insert indie game that has done ridiculously well*, and then Animal Crossing.It's just a fad. Soccer moms and grandmas are buying them to play Mario Kart and then they'll collect dust.
