I'm probably the other.

Also to be honest I believe all of us can make up and we can continue discussing peacefully.

By no means should we be against each other for a forum the size of this one.

However,
Cyber Monday is over and we can discuss what everyone believes went down. I think all 3 did excellent due to strong deals.

Its very hard to tell what happened on cyber monday, what deals did PS4 even have?

I'm hoping Switch did well, would be awesome if it could double last November.

If it is, it's only because he's not good enough for you. You're a rad dude. Don't let people put you down!

I think just get annoyed sometimes, rant a bit to let off some steam and then go back to lurking.

From Benji on Era, after he said he got cyber Monday data:

QuoteGood day for Switch and Xbox

Less so for PS4

PS4 1.6M

I think the world is underestimating PS4 again this year

It did not need Cyber Monday or even Black Friday to sell 1.7m last year... this year it will be close to 2m.

Switch won't cross 1.5m and XB1 will be around 1m if not below it because there is no X launch this year.

Nah, last year it had a cod launch and the BF2 launch with the limited edition star wars console. Both of those moved a lot, and pre BF week PS4 is fairly down YOY apparently. There was nothing to move PS4s this November, apart from the after effect of RDR2, which isn't close to the two big launches of last year.

BF week was only just up YOY, and it sounds like cyber Monday hasn't made up the difference.

I could see you being right on Switch and XB1 though, 1.5M+ would be a massive YOY increase, I'm only putting Switch around there because it isn't far off PS4 apparently. XB1 should be down YOY by at least a couple hundred k.

PR: Switch surpasses Wii in best-selling Nintendo console in US on BF+CM. +115% HW over 2017 | ResetEra

Quotehttps://www.businesswire.com/news/h...Hits-Big-Milestones-Thanksgiving-Cyber-Monday

Switch hardware up 115% from the same period last year (thanksgiving to cyber monday inclusive) in the US. That's massive! Better than Wii's best thanksgiving-cyber monday, and its the Switch's new best selling week. In 2011, Wii sold 500k on BF day only, so we know Switch is much bigger than 500k in this period.

Switch LTD in US now >8.2M. Pokemon is over 1.5M, Super Mario Party over 1M.
