Quote EDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo Switch set two new records from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday: It became the best-selling Nintendo console in U.S. history for that five-day period, surpassing even Wii system sales. Nintendo Switch also had its best-selling week ever in the United States. In fact, according to Adobe Analytics, Nintendo Switch was among the most-purchased items online on Thanksgiving Day and the overall top-selling video game product online for the Black Friday-Cyber Monday time period. No one should ever doubt Nintendo's mass appeal again https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181128005283/en/Nintendo-Hits-Big-Milestones-Thanksgiving-Cyber-Monday Edited November 28, 2018 by Pureis Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,460 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Bbbbbnnut Pokémon Let's go won't sell and Switch fell of a cliff. Pokémon is already at 1.5 million in the US alone between Nov 16th and Nov 26th...... and it isn't even Xmas as yet. Edited November 28, 2018 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites
Purist 134 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) NPD Nov 2018 will be a close race between PS4 and Switch. PS4 seems to drop the ball again with stock this year(insiders already hinting it might be down YOY). Switch by all accounts is looking to double their number from Nov last year. NPD Dec 2018 will be a monster month for Switch, obliterating both the PS4 and Xbox. Meanwhile Japan is a bloodbath as always, with Switch dominating more than 70% of the market. And 70% is probably being generous With how well PS4 is doing, it is crazy how Nintendo manage to dominate like this Edited November 28, 2018 by Pureis Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,460 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 PS4 will edge out a win in Nov NPD, the Spiderman bundle did crazy numbers. Switch and PS4 should be neck and neck for this month. But back to Switch's insane Thanksgiving week.

See my Wii numbers below and see Benji's Quotes. Something isn't accurate hereBecause Switch was up significantly YoY every week of the month. With BF having this sort of growth the estimates people are putting up are essentially impossible. Its higher than that if Switch had 115% growth YoY BF week it's doing way more than the 900k that's being thrown around in this thread Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,487 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 So we're looking at potentially 912K to 1.1M for November. Link to post Share on other sites

Purist 134 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Then for CM, this is what Benji has to say: Quote Good day for Switch and Xbox Less so for PS4 Quote Tough to say tbh. Declaring the top selling hardware this time of year is difficult as different places see different results. Switch outsold the PS4 the entire month outside of BF week. Ir appears PS4 edged it still on BF week itself though even with Switchs huge result I THINK PS4 still takes the month, but by a pretty narrow margin November will be closer than most people think, especially between Switch and PS4.

McWicked 825 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 PS4 only did "poorly" because it sold most of its stock. If I pulled the odds of it taking November out of my ass, I'd say it were around 80%. Link to post Share on other sites
