Game hardware (including SNES Classic, etc.) sales volume in the US was up 44% in November (cumulative Apr-Nov FY3/18 sales were up 38%), while software sales were up 2% (down 1%). The PS4 came out top for hardware
sales, with a likely large impact from Black Friday sales. The Xbox One, which launched the new high-spec X console, came in second. Both consoles saw roughly 40% growth YoY.
The Switch saw a large increase in sales volume in comparison to October, but we still sense that trends are slowing down. We do not explicitly forecast monthly sales volumes in each region, but we have the impression that US sales volume for the Switch in November was within expectations. Nintendo's hardware sales tend to see strong trends in December thanks to seasonal demand, and thus we believe that sales will grow MoM in December.
As for software, Call of Duty: WWII (Activision Blizzard) came out top in the US (PS4 came top on a SKU basis; xbox One second), while Super Mario Odyssey came in second (Switch exclusive, Nintendo)
Microsoft are iced. Xb1 @189 plus months of xbox pre orders and launch sales and the ps4 still beats it. Ps4 is going to stomp all over it next year with its superior line up.Oh yeah I forgot that this included Xbox One X launch. That does help explain why Switch isn't even close.
Swifch sales were meh considering the hype. They may have had stock shortages pre November but this shows they weren't far off meeting the demand.
Sony ps4 stomps the switch in November and beats the xb1 during the X launch month. WW it must have been a bloodbath.
The thing Sony will be delighted about is how fast the $199 ps4 sold out. They know there is still huge demand for the console at that price which will give them huge confidence going into 2018 with

So what are we looking at for the x? 100k?I'd be extremely shocked if its less than 300k, considering it did 80k in one week in the UK.
Stock/demand is starting to reach a balance for the Switch. I can walk into Best Buy right now and buy one. Even after Black Friday I could still buy one. It'll probably maintain itself until Smash Bros releases.That hasn't even been announced yet.

That hasn't even been announced yet.Does it have to? Nintendo releases new hardware so they can resell you old games under the disguise of new games. There's going to be a new Mario, new Mario Kart, new Zelda, maybe a new Metroid (Announced), new Smash Bros., new Pokemon (or spinoff) then they're going to announce new hardware 4 years later and release it at 5 and go through the cycle again.
