First remember the leaks are shutdown by NPD after Matt left the the other forum.
But sheepysheep continue doing the leak in new way.

Remarkable evidence was given, anon, by an eye, ear, nose and throat witness

May 2019 NPD: The end of a generation

For the May 2019 NPD report, you have to look at the context of the current console generation. Gamers are looking past the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Worst PS4 NPD ever
Second worst XB1 NPD ever (May 2014 77k is the worst)

Next gen info/talk maybe?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Woah, X1 and PS4 dropping off a steep cliff.

Switch is going to dominate this holiday when Pokemon comes out, my goodness.

They just need a SKU in the $150-200 range to replace their 3DS and that's a wrap.

 

[Mista]

Switch going strong this is good

Yeah I can see a pricedrop coming in Fall.

 

[ethomaz]

Next gen info/talk maybe?

That is sure... it started in December already... every month this year shows similar drops to PS4 and XB1.

PS4 still have the $199 price cut card before Next-gen... Xbox I don't know they are selling at deals near $199 already... maybe $149?

 

[TeamGhobad]

xbox is very very low....damn

Holyday will be the war about who will took the second place I guess. Software for the other hand...

This is why you don't base console sales from 1 day like here

Xbox One All Digital Console is now best selling Xbox at Walmart as of right at the creation of this thread (Also went from #47 to #14 on Amazon)

Walmart doesn't put all the console types on a list like BestBuy so we can't compare with Nintendo and Sony directly, however, it does compare to all the other Xbox Sku's (plus Xbox traditionally sells better at Walmart anyway) I've tracked the Walmart chart since the unveil. It wasn't even top...

www.neogaf.com

and here

Xbox One All Digital Console pre-order sales already make it the best selling console at BestBuy.

It was up and down right when the conference ended, but then it stayed on top, and now that we are on day two it's still up there: Here is the link to the best-sellers for Best Buy right here in this link that you can click on. Of course, Best Buy is the only one with an updated page of best...

PS4 & Xbox dead. We'll see the usual holiday numbers specially at the prices they'll list at but feels like a long time yet we're still stuck with these consoles.

If you consider 15-16m units dead, sure, should be closing in on 110m by end of Q1 2020.

And yet they'll continue to get better games than Switch until they die.

I understand that you are personally triggered by the Switch's popularity, but give it a rest, warrior. There is no Valhalla for fanboys.

Quit trying to pass your opinion off as facts.

 

[Vlodril]

June should be better due to the promotions they have but it's hard to see xbox going much lower in price (its been sub 200 for a while now) the ps4 still has the price cut card. I doubt they will do that though. Maybe 250 as an official price and 200 with discounts. We will see.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Quit trying to pass your opinion off as facts.

You honestly don't think over the next 18 months that Xbox and PlayStation are going to bury the games Switch has to offer? Really? The first half of this year was a huge embarrassment for the platform, just big game after big game scoring high left and right that they didn't get.

Is that suddenly going to stop?

 

[TeamGhobad]

Damn Xbox got 86ed!

they need a massive price drop. 100buck from all their consoles asap.

 

[Lupin3]

Considering how expensive X and Pro still are, I'm not surprised.

That's a very personal opinion. I dont play graphics, and I don't like the standard AAA gameplay style. Things like TLOU and Uncharted are incredibly well crafted, but they are boring to me. I like Nintendo's games more. But this is my taste,

I'm not pushing it down your throat. You can like whatever games you want, but don't try to do that to me..

What xbox game do you think is going to outsell Pokemon? Pokemon is going to do NUMBERS.

Who said anything about sales numbers? I'm talking pure range of high quality games from all over the map.

Son, you're in an NPD thread. Are you telling me there's 0 possible chance that a Switch game will score high in the next 18 months?

 

[DanielsM]

Considering how expensive X and Pro still are, I'm not surprised.

Way too high which is what many of us were talking about with the SAD Edition when it was released. SAD version is number #10 on Amazon among Xbox One consoles, and that's after the drop.

Disc Drive > (Minecraft+Sea of Thieves+Forza Horizon 3 + $4)

I'm firmly in the sub 6m units for 2019, I think under 5m units is possible, and under 4m units is definitely not out of the question..... the run rate is not good at all. The only way for them to sell units at this point is massive drops, and that's usually temporary.

Microsoft went high end quite a few years ago, so lower volume higher prices, generally speaking.

Consumer Electronics Competition Is Shifting to the High End

While Microsoft pursues the same "premium product at a premium price" strategy as Apple, Amazon goes the other way.

Son, you're in an NPD thread. Are you telling me there's 0 possible chance that a Switch game will score high in the next 18 months?

I didn't say that but a few Switch games scoring high over the next 18 months is no comparison to a barrage of first and third party games scoring high which Switch will not have.

 

[VertigoOA]

I needed to lookup PS4 prices... umm pro still 400 and base 250-300?

You would think Sony would ride out the PS4 at 200$ for a year or two before next gen launch. I imagine it’s gonna happen soon

 

[LMJ]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the base PS4 drop to $199 or 249 and the Pro to $300 in an upcoming PS Event, or to see the Box follow suit, hit that sweet spot...

FF7 Remake, Death Stranding and Gears 5 will give them some steam, but people are looking ahead to next gen right now, not suprisingly lol

 

[mejin]

If you consider 15-16m units dead, sure, should be closing in on 110m by end of Q1 2020.

people always forget the overall picture. worldwide numbers are health for ps4 as much as it is possible without price cuts and almost 6 years in the market.

 

[Sub_Level]

PS4 price drop will come once they officially hit 100 million, I reckon.

Someone has not seen the recent direct...

Not to mention, if the first half of this year is such an embarrassment for the Switch, then how come it is the best selling platform on NPD so far this year?

 

[redfirm]

aah come on, the ps4 sold out everywhere in its first two years without a single game...the switch is a great product, but lets not turn it into the holy grail.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I guess Infamous: Second Son and Bloodborne don't count...

And never mind the numerous big 3rd party titles that released on the PS4 like Shadow of Mordor or Far Cry 4...

 

[DanielsM]

people always forget the overall picture. worldwide numbers are health for ps4 as much as it is possible without price cuts and almost 6 years in the market.

Still solid numbers from what I can tell, globally it looks good, definitely a little softening, I would not be surprise by less then Sony's estimate of 16m, not seeing anything to suggestion sub-10m or anything like that, should be close to 110m total units by end of Q1. They are avoiding the talk as long as possible i.e. PS5 then around that time use the price cut I would suspect.... they probably don't even want to talk about the PS5 till next year but not sure they can hold off on a price cut quite that long.

 

[redfirm]

I guess Infamous: Second Son and Bloodborne don't count...

in my opinion those two where shitgames compared to what nintendo launched with...once again just my opinion, not facts.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

in my opinion those two where shitgames compared to what nintendo launched with...once again just my opinion, not facts.

And those two games sold rather well suggesting that they drove a good chunk of the PS4's sales.

Case in point, the PS4 selling well in its first 2 years without a single game is demonstrably false.

lets just see how the future goes, nintendo created a product with no competition, until cloud takes off, they are fine...or nextgen x or ps5

Because all of a sudden, people will be disinterested in BOTW2 and other future titles after the PS5 and Scarlett launch...

no i did not say that, to be fair i kind of jumped in the discussion you two where having, my point is, i believe that the current sales of ninty cant last once next gen launches unless they also launch a new model.

 

[CyberPanda]

Nintendo is slaying.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

no i did not say that, to be fair i kind of jumped in the discussion you two where having, my point is, i believe that the current sales of ninty cant last once next gen launches unless they also launch a new model.

And what evidence suggests this? Graphics? Because the people don't buy the Switch for graphics.

Switch is going to continue to sell even after new consoles imo. It basically replaced the 3DS.

 

[redfirm]

And what evidence suggests this? Graphics? Because the people don't buy the Switch for graphics.

money, people will only be able to buy 1 console(most people) and they will go for sony or xbox which offers them next gen gfx and streaming to any device.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

money, people will only be able to buy 1 console(most people) and they will go for sony or xbox which offers them next gen gfx and streaming to any device.

The Switch would be cheaper by then. And if the rumored cheaper handheld-only Switch launches later this year or next year, then the concerns about money is moot.

And I already rebutted the graphics argument. The Switch and PS5/Scarlett do not cater to the same audience. Graphics enthusiasts wouldn't be interested in the Switch in the first place.
