NPD November 2017

However I guess all that's kind of irrelevant, but Xbox should be maybe conservatively estimated at 1.45 million by my thinking (~10% less than PS4 per graph, but a possible upper bound of 1.511 means I take 50k off)

So yeah just thought I'd post all that to ask if anybody has any contrary info as to why Xbox is at 1350k and not 1450-1500k. I wrote Xbox at 1350k so far in my NPD record, but I'll probably change it to 1450k or 1500k at some point unless I hear justification for 1350k. Just wondered if I missed something?

Won’t end of year reporting clarify?

“More units of PlayStation 4 hardware sold in November 2017 than any other month life-to-date,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “PlayStation 4 is the best-selling video game hardware platform year-to-date.”

But overall, everyone is doing well. Hardware spending for November was up 52 percent year-over-year to $1.1 billion. NPD credits that growth to all three major devices. It’s clear that Xbox fans were waiting for the upgraded 4K-capable Xbox One X system or a price drop on the Xbox One S. The $500 Xbox One X led to this platform generating more revenue than Sony or Nintendo, but the Xbox One also had its best November so far in terms of unit sales.

Its mostly Switch though right? Switch wasn't there in Nov 16.

Still very strong.
