NPD results for October 2018 Hardware

October NPD:

PS4: ~345k
Switch: ~260k
XBO: ~215k

October YoY:

PS4: +62%
Switch: -12%
Xbox One: +64%
3DS: -45%

Totals Jan-Oct 2018:

PS4: 3038K (+13% YoY)
NSW: 2505K (-4% YoY)

Sony and MicroSoft are progressing by +60% both... It's more complicated for Nintendo with the 3DS and the Switch are in regression...

I automatically dismiss virtually everything you post anyway, but the fact you can't even get the year right...

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@Cobalt Is that hardware or software? Either way, that doesn't include things like Battlefield and Pokemon, right? It's gonna be neat to see everyone's numbers in february

Cobalt is that person at Activision who was disappointed that Black Ops 4 was only massively successful, instead of as massively successful as some other COD game. If that person was some random nobody on the internet and never successful at anything.

What's more interesting is despite RDR2, Fallout 76, and Forza Horizon 4, Switch is well above X1 for the month with nothing but "old ports." And that is somehow a 60%+ improvement for X1 YoY while it was a slight drop for Switch?!

So in 2018 Switch is ahead of X1 overall, even with a slight dip in sales and a modest increase in X1 sales? Ouch for Microsoft.

@Cobalt Don't kid yourself, Fallout 76 hasn't been released yet. Fair point, still, RDR2 and Forza Horizon 4 mattered the most in that October data.

Does anyone take advantage of the region free and import games for physical releases?

I just preordered

Super Robot Wars T (English Asian)
Blazblue Central Fiction (EU)
Capcom Belt Coll (JP with English)
Onimishu (JP with English)

And have already imported the following:

One Piece Unlimited World Red (EU)
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 (EU)
Little Nightmares (EU)
Taiko Drum Master (EU)
I Am Setsuna (English Asian)
Okami HD (JP with English)
Mega Man X Coll v2 (JP with English)
Monster Hunter XX (JP no English)

And if someone wanted I think Dead Or Alive Extreme 3 is getting an English Asian version. I REALLY love the options region free has brought to the table.

@gcunit
Lol you had me rolling with that one

For someone who hates on the Switch so much he sure spends a lot of the time in a Switch forum. Its almost like he enjoys the attention. Do you think he has another account on pushsquare where he talks about everything he hates about Sony and why Switch is superior.

@JaxonH I've imported I Am Setsuna, One Piece Unlimited World Red, Okami HD, Syberia and Syberia 2... sort of (Right case came, wrong cartridge). It's a great feature if the game isn't coming over otherwise and it has English.

I'll definitely be getting Super Robot Wars T now that I know it's in English though.

@link3710
Capcom Beat Em Up Collection, Onimushu, Okami and Mega Man X Collection 2. Forgot to mention those as well.

My Taiko Drum Master just came though and its got a French cover! I thought all EU was the same. Will definitely stick to Amazon UK going forward

Interesting. It's almost like some massively successful third party game released on both systems in the same month. I wonder what that could be...

Anyway, these are good numbers for a system that hasn't had a hit game in quite a while. Interest in Switch is steady. I can only imagine how good the holiday season will be!

@Ralizah Combined with Mario Odyssey releasing October last year the figures make sense. Again, looks like everyone is having a good time in the industry.

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

I've got to settle for GAME and grey for that PowerA GCN-styled wireless controller. Nowhere else in the UK is stocking them. Unfortunate, really, as I quite liked the black one.

Also, who sits in an office chair to play games these days? It's all about having your gaming laptop on said office chair while you sit on the sofa.

All doom and gloom for Nintendo huh. LOL
Really want to get stuck into Bendy ATIM, but Warframe...ohhh Warframe.
Has anyone played ATV Drifts vs Tricks? Looks pretty decent.

All a console needs to do well is have a hardware bundle with exclusive Fortnite items well stocked

The Switch news section does confirm the 3 Mages in Kirby Star Allies are unlocked via certain conditions in the new update which likely means completing Another Dimension. So there you have it, Star Allies has grown quite a lot since its launch in March and it seems like the update next week is the last one.
