In these modern times of constant changes and uncertainties, posts like this one give me hold.

Around one million Switches would be an astonishing performance. Surely it's not actually that high?
That is speculation, no numbers were given. Nintendo might announce something with their own PR.

Edit: 1st week on the market nvm
MS now in third place, what should they do now?
Stay quiet till June?
They seem to say that it's anywhere between 500k and 1m?

It's 500k for the first week on the market, with speculation that the month takes it to a million.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
It's not official numbers from NPD or MS
But if you ask whether it surpass 30M.....

Not really, we here have always speculated 26 million so 28 million falls in line with what we have thought.

And just talk of its new console iteration. Looks like a bad month for them. MS must be counting down the days to Scorpio launches. XBone almost feels forgotten.
Talk about quiet.
Sony has been super quiet with NPD and really in general. The studio heads have been visible like Druckmann and Hulst. But management has been quiet both Shu and Shawn even Andrew as a matter.

Chartz only has the first week of March out lol
Recent estimates from tracking agencies peg the install bases around those numbers. Obviously not exact, but the numbers won't be far from then.

Off-topic, still a great movie. Don't care what anyone says.

I doubt Switch is anywhere north of 800k. I think, while it's performance will be impressive, I doubt Nintendo would pass up PR talking about how they outdid PS4/XB1 or were close to their launches.

The thing is, Sony does well month after month and doesn't put out a statement, so I don't see why Microsoft feels the need to either.

Eh. They really don't need to talk. Their output and sales kind of speaks for itself at this point.
I also kind of appreciate that they stuck to not responding much to NPDs after they stopped doing it when the PS3 wasn't selling well.

NPD or chartz ,which is more useless now?

That was an awful pr statement even as far as spin goes it's dreadful. 3 months combined and your still only talking about an increase in hours played not sales.
PS4 sold over a million in less than 24 hours in NA so how would the switch be close ?

I meant in NA. IIRC, the PS4 launch was 900k.

PS4 launched in November?
I mean the PS4 is a monster on its own.
You know what? I wonder why MS just doesn't stay silent? This PR really doesn't do anything to instill confidence.
Sony has been winning most months and they still remain quiet about it. Maybe because they are just focused on getting revenue.
But I would think it would be helpful to get the gaming public to not focus on NPD if they didn't mention anything about it.

I said NA too, in fact it took 2 weeks for it to launch anywhere else
Just pointing that the hypothetical PR mentioned is not feasible.

Non holiday launches are pretty rare especially in the USA.
3DS did about 500k but launched near the end of March instead of the beginning.
No it was around 1.4 million in November while supply constrained. Also such high number for Switch is not surprising as we saw this gen every console has had best first month in it's history. Consumers just buy new console faster than it the past the problem seems to be keeping that momentum in the next months/years.

PS4 has sold through over 1 million units within 24 hours of the launch in North America!!!

Good points. Obviously Sony wants to win NPD . Cause duh why wouldn't they. But if they don't they are making so much bank worldwide it's not that big of a deal (for lack of a better phrase). They have a plan and they stick to it.

Wait, what the hell?
My apologies. For some reason I'm remembering the PS4 doing 900k or about there in November and the same amount in December NPD.
Are those numbers completely incorrect?

Gonna be some very rough months for Microsoft till Scorpio and who knows how long that bump will even last.

Those are the XBO Numbers. Very slightly over 900K for November and December.
PS4 was estimated at 1400K for November, and lower than 900K for December.

You're thinking of the Xbox One.
November 2013: 909K
December 2013: 908K
PS4 November 2013: 1138K
PS4 December 2013: 863K

I was actually trying to tell them to shut up since their PR has been degrading more and more every month. April and May won't help them at all since literally nothing new for XB1 S is releasing. I expect sub 150k sales soon with more Scorpio news released and potential sales put on hold by interested consumers.

I doubt Scorpio sells a significantly higher percentage than pspro.... there's no reason to think so unless this gen MS has the more enthusiast crowd and less mainstream... which we don't really know except that I was pretty surprised how well the pro controller sold.... If scorpio sales account for more than 10-20% of xbox sales I would be surprised.
