Three different Era insiders all just agreed that Switch is looking to be way over 2M in December NPD, perhaps close to 3M. I still maintain anything 2M+ would be incredible. And Benji said this about all 3:

So I'll just preface this here (as people will tag this post as proof I'm making things up if it doesnt come out exactly this way)
Holiday period is difficult to know for certain. Retailers have different promotions, inventory can vary wildly between them, etc. However I do have visibility to a good chunk and can use that to extrapolate to market within a margin of error.
With that said
December appears to be Switch over 2 million. Possibly significantly so but my data may be heavily favoring it. That said 2 million seems all but locked in. It will surpass PS4 in YTD hardware sales for 2018
Xbox One seems alright. Not explosive performance but not down significantly YoY. Should be able to get to around a mil give or take a bit
PS4 is looking fairly soft and possibly down YoY
I look forward to this post not being 100% accurate to the tiniest of margins and people parading around that I'm a fraud. But hey I share what I can
