November 2018 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, December 11th

Do you know how long this is going for? Ending tomorrow, next week?
Yup.
I'm a PS4 and Switch owner. Cool to see them both doing great. I'm floored by how well the Xbox One did this November, though! Biggest surprise. And another sign of a very healthy market.
Kudos to them all.
Pokémon likely has a higher physical share than CoD and RDR II.
Of course, but they need a strong sell-through to be able to ship the additional units to retailers, taking into consideration that they over-shipped in Q4 last year.
Where are you taking from that they overshipped at any point last year ?
Fallout is a strong IP, this guaranteed a good launch, but legs should be poor.
Some random thoughts, FO76 did okay, hard to tell without actual numbers. Bad start for BFV which we had surmised. Also, FIFA is starting to become more prevalent in the US.
I'm guessing X with $399 deal managed to have sales similar to X launch (With was 430k).
Getting the X down to $399/$429 must have pushed existing owners to upgrade. Worked for me.
Switch and PS4 both slightly lower than I anticipated. On the other hand, a very pleasant surprise with XB1 sales.
Just for scientific purposes, would have loved to see what a fully stocked $200 Spiderman bundle would have pulled in.
Obviously Playstation is doing extremely well, but these last two holidays have been odd. Basically, a Black Friday bonanza that lasts a few days until stock runs out, and then hardly anything else of note for the rest of the year. No Pro sales this holiday and their best bundle is $100 more expensive than their deal in November. Real surprised they are being this conservative for a 2013 released console with the PS5 on the horizon and the importance of getting people in to their ecosytem.
Switch will rightfully dominate December sales. Might not be as big as a number as hoped for with Cyber Monday not counting, but nevertheless should be gargantuan with Smash and PS4/XB1 not really having any notable deals.

What year is it? Oh, it's the year of everybody winning. Great job to all.
Also, Benji, I never doubted you nearly as much as you doubted yourself. You let the negativity of some posters get to you when the Nintendo PR was very clearly worded so as not to be hard numbers.

It was discussed here as why Q1 this fiscal year had low shipment.
There it is.
Hardware very close and competitive and no clear winning month for Ps4 as most expected.
CoD still outselling RDR.
Fallout 76 doing good while being a clusterfuck of game.
What he / she said is true.
Switch was the top $ selling console of November.
My guess is this is about RDR and COD (csheep don't answer, I understand you don't want to say something more detailed) since csheep wrote "RDR2 outsold COD on dollars, despite being (slightly) behind on units."
This means Pokemon is above 1.5 million retail, since csheep wrote "Pokemon definitely combined for more units and sales".
We already knew about that from the horse's mouth:

1.5 millions up to November 26th.
Battlefield 5 probably shouldn't have launched 6 months before it was finished!
My take.
Also, hopefully this kills tiered release dates. Hard to have hype when your reviews and launch trailers are like weeks before the actual release date for 90% of people.

Eh, it was around flat last time I checked. With only 3 weeks left I fail to see how it can be significantly up.
Oh yeah, Switch is destroying 3DS launch aligned right now.
3DS Month 21 (November 2012): 6.49M
NSW Month 21 (November 2018): 8.74M
3DS sold 540K that November and 1.25M in December.
Now the next "challenge" (That Switch will beat easily) is outselling Wii U + 3DS up to Month 22, which is 10.42M. Switch just needs to sell 1.68M in December.
Combined LTD for both Wii U + 3DS is probably going to end up being ~29M so Switch is going to blow that away. Just for those that bring up comparing Switch to those 2 on whether or not it's a "success" or "disappointment".

Well check again because they're up right now, and will keep being up in the last three weeks of the year.
Everyone should be down this December since it doesn't include Cyber Monday, right? Sony especially because no promotions at all for PS4.
Why would everyone be down because of Cyber Monday? That doesn't mean the Switch will be down.
I'm going to be curious to see how badly Battlefront 3 does next year if EA decides to launch it next year.
Because most of DICE will probably be focused on completing Battlefield 5 until like May.
Battlefront 3 gonna launch with like two maps.

It's up by 110k according to MC, but down 50k according to Famitsu
But yeah, It will 100% be up yoy.
I don't know you either. Just like it should be on the Internet.
Because that was a big part of Switch's December last year. They had a very good Cyber Monday, outselling the other consoles if memory serves that day. There was PR for it from Nintendo. I'd assume Microsoft and Sony benefited from it too.
Q1 2018 shipments were lower than sell-through for the US and Japan.
Nintendo will still be up YOY because of Smash and Christmas.
XB1 and PS4 will most likely be down because November was down even with Cyber Monday. XB1 could manage a decent YOY decline depending on how well the deals help sales. PS4 will probably look like a disaster (well under 1M) if Sony doesn't drop the price next week.
According to Media Create Switch is slightly up in Japan right now when you compare 2018 to 2017. When you look at FY18 and FY17 though its slightly down. It will be up after December but i doubt it will show more than 5-10% growth, unlike in other regions (presumably).
Isn't Xbox 360 near 50 million units LTD ? So it sold ~25M after Nov 2010? That's insane, even with Kinect.
~43.2M.
It sold 22.2M between November 2005 and October 2010 and then 21M November 2010 to now.
I never said the psp wasn't successful I was saying it's a handheld so it's not what I was counting with my original statement.
My original point was any console t(not portable) that sold over 30 usually has their first two years as the weakest sales wise then hits its peak before tapering off in its final years. The argument that ps4 should be tapering off is not necessarily correct.
I guess people banking out significant growth these last few weeks lol.
Because these next few weeks and early Jan account for a large proportion of overall yearly sales - if its up significantly in the next 6 weeks it will likely mean its up overall YoY significantly as well
Maybe understand what you are commenting on before attacking other posters
