Yeah just saw that the now on Twitter. I wonder how high it can go?!?
I've never heard of Super Saturday. Is that like, last-minute-desperate-gift-buying Saturday?

With that information I'm wondering how big Dec will be. They definitely are looking to have a huge Q3.
Switch in Japan just had W49 and W50 each at 281k and will probably have W51 at ~350k and W52 at ~190k, can the split by week in December be similar in the USA? If W51 is over 800k in the USA, and like Japan W51 is ~1/3 of total Dec. sales, then that would mean over 2,4m for DecemberThe biggest week of Switch sales so far (I believe) was Black Friday week this year which sold somewhere around 800k Switches.
So that suggests this week will be more than that. Considering it's been selling extremely well all December that paints a pretty rosy picture.
The two weeks around Christmas have been bigger than BF week for some years now, but everyone tends to focus on BF weekend. This year we have an extra Saturday. The calendar worked against the market last year, this year is a whole different story.

Super Saturday is the day people across America look at their calendar and say "Oh shit, fuck" and run to the mall.
Does that mean the whole Cyber Monday being in November this year shouldn't really mean much?
Yeah, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday being a thing, W49 and W50 may not be as strong as in JapanIf it works like that then yeah, that'd be huge. But it's probably not that simple, what with different markets behaving differently and all.
MatPiscatella Benji question about Minecraft on the Switch, in Japan the game is nearing half a million physical sales, could end up passing a million sometime next year(evergreen inexpensive title). Is the US version also selling similarly well or have Minecraft sales slowed down in the US?
Benji only have been talking about Switch so probably not, I also don't see how Sony can do any big numbers with no deals.
I know."total speculation". he doesn't have any number or stuff actually
Switches.
You know, same as the plural for the word 'switch' has been forever. It's not like it's s new word or anything.
Looks like Switch will wipe out PS4's lead for the year. Quite the comeback in the last few minutes of the final quarter.Switch is God damn crazy
Xbox is pretty solid
PS4 is.....there
'God damn crazy' sounds pretty good! Hoping it can hit that 2.5M number so that US pull its weight towards the hardware forecast number. I really want Nintendo to hit it just because so many doomsayers will pop up if they miss it by 1-2 million...Switch is God damn crazy
Xbox is pretty solid
PS4 is.....there
To be clear the PS4 is selling a lot
It's just, yeah having no deals available is certainly slowing its momentum this week compared to the other 2
Sane people wait until the new year to do thatthere's still a lot of vouchers and christmas money gifts to be spent.
there's still a lot of vouchers and christmas money gifts to be spent.At least this madness is over soon.
Monday morning will see some very last minute desperate buys and that's it for the year.
Pre New Year shopping is all about groceries
Hmm? What does that mean?
so what do these crazy crowds do at game stop? shopping groceries?No one wants to deal with the crazy crowds this time of year.
Well, no one sane.
Switches.

I guess they are still trying to get a refund on Fallout 76.so what do these crazy crowds do at game stop? shopping groceries?
For me, after november, it would be pretty crazy if PS4 doesn't get outsold by 100% or more by the Switch and 50% or more by Xbox One.
Sony certainly doesn't seem to care by how much they get outsold this month.
I wonder why. Do they plan on selling it for $299 again for many months next year so don't want to decrease it's perceived value in the eyes of the consumer?For me, after november, it would be pretty crazy if PS4 doesn't get outsold by 100% or more by the Switch and 50% or more by Xbox One.
