 So this is like the fifth time I've recorded this video today, I guess I'm just blowing it in multiple ways. You blew it! Yeah, you got that right. Thanks. Thanks, Adam. I, uh, yeah, I did. I blew it. I need to do something. I need to do this for myself. Listen to me, you deff. I offered you a chance when we could have done something and you blew it! If you guys remember, I made a video predicting the Nintendo Switch would sell us 3.7 million in November. Well, I wrote a book, too. A little something called Wish It Wanted, You Blow It. I was wrong. I said the PlayStation 5 would sell 2.2 million in November. Really? Yep. Let me read your next point. You wish you were a millionaire. You want more money. Guess what? You blew it. I was also wrong about that. Oh, I also said the Xbox Series X slash S would sell 2.3 million. Ha! Knock knock. Who's there? You blew it. You blew it who? You blew it bad. You know what the last page in the book is? A mirror. So you can see exactly who blew it being you. I was wrong about that. Is it going to be the last time I ever make sales predictions? Ha! No. But I was right about one thing. The Nintendo Switch was the best selling platform. Let's just look at the MPD reports. Then we'll talk about it. So this, you know, Matt Piscotella, he works for the MPD, does all the video game stuff. I got it all gathered up here. Neo Gavis says, US MPD hardware, PlayStation 5 was November's best selling hardware platform in consumer spending with all the Nintendo Switch that led the marketing unit. So PlayStation 5 achieved the highest launch month, unit and dollar sales for video game hardware in platform US history. The records were previously held by PlayStation 4. And then you go down here to DualSense, wireless controller achieved the highest launch month, unit and dollar sales for a gamepad in US history. So basically it's the best launch of a controller ever in the history of controllers. Nintendo Switch, as I said on the top. Well, Nintendo released a statement on BusinessWire and it says they sold over 1.35 million units in November. We know that PlayStation 5 had made more money, but sold less units, but also beat the PlayStation 4 record, which means it sold somewhere between 1.1 and 1.35 million for PlayStation 5, making it the best console debuted in history, in the US anyways. As for Xbox, it didn't outsell the Xbox One. Initial reports said that it outsold the Xbox One, but I think maybe that was just based on the fact that it was sold out everywhere and a presumption that they had shipped enough units. The Xbox One sold about 900,000 units during its launch month. It sold less than that. We don't have exact figures, but it looks like around 700,000 or so Xbox Series S's slash X's were sold. Again, Microsoft doesn't give sales data for their systems anymore. And you might look at that as, poor little Microsoft. What a loser. What a loser. You couldn't even beat the really crappy, poorly marketed Xbox One bundled with Kinect. Well, it's not that simple. You see, the Xbox One only launched in 12 territories. So there was a lot more units allocated to the United States, whereas the Xbox Series S launched in 22 territories. So when you have 10 extra territories involved, clearly you're going to have less units to go around. And that's going to impact the United States, which is your primary market. The thing is, every single unit that has come off the manufacturing lines from both Microsoft and Sony has sold out. So there really isn't bad news here. Yeah, PlayStation 5 set records. Congrats. Sony was able to get enough units made to set records. If Microsoft had produced another 300, 400,000 systems, they might have sold out as well. And the reality is, both platforms are selling out like crazy. Xbox Series S isn't suddenly selling less right now because it didn't have Halo Infinite. That is something that I've seen some people pass on on the internet. This is what happens when you don't have Exclusives. PlayStation has Exclusives. There is no Exclusives for Xbox Series X, X, X. Ergo, the PlayStation 5 is killing it in sales. But they're both selling out of everything they can make. It's just that this Microsoft is spreading their stock out around more places. That's what's really happening. So that is really what we have for the sales data. Nintendo obviously on top for two straight years now. Winning November means they have now won the NPD in terms of unit sales for 24 straight months. And it does look like PlayStation 5 and Switch are going to be like the pillars of the top tier of the gaming sales pile for at least the next year through 2021. And then we'll see what happens, how much longer Nintendo can keep this momentum of Switch going, Switch revision potentially coming out all that jazz. Microsoft, obviously we don't know what's going to happen there. We're probably not going to get a sales update, maybe ever really again. But the NPD will at least always tell us if it happens to outsell PlayStation or Nintendo, maybe because the NPD report didn't really have much for Xbox in it. So I think that in the end, everyone's probably going to win. It's just when it comes to units, Switch and PlayStation will be on top. PlayStation 5 is clearly going to be 100 million seller. Can we just say that right now? Like, I know that sounded crazy when people were talking, you know, in the early days of Switch like in 2017, oh man, this could outsell the Wii. Why it's going to outsell the Wii? The Switch is going to outsell the Wii. It's very, it would be an astronomical drop off for Switch not to outsell the Wii. But every Sony platform except for one has sold, like home console anyway, has sold over 100 million units. The one that didn't was the overpriced, poorly marketed PlayStation 3. And that sold 80 million, which would have been better than any other Nintendo home console ever released until Wii came out. So yeah, pretty confident you could just say PlayStation 5 is going to be another 100 million seller. And it's interesting because obviously Xbox Series XS-S I think has the best budget offering, not just in terms of the S, but you kind of get that game pass in there, which is really makes gaming affordable. Again, different strokes for different folks. PlayStation 5, despite some launch issues, I think every platform has a launch issue, Switch did, Xbox Series XS-S hasn't been perfect either. I mean, there's some disc errors and issues with the Series X in particular. I haven't seen it happen to my Series X, but you know, your mileage always varies on these issues. Overheating for some people with PlayStation 5. Again, it varies, most of these issues are like a very small, less than 5% of the audience. I honestly think that both platforms are going to do fantastic. All three platform holders are going to be really happy by the end of 2021. And that's that. I think that's good. Now in terms of other sales data, we got some sales data on Cyberpunk. Some people might care about that because it's maybe, besides Animal Crossing, the biggest launcher this year. I mean, some people will say Ghost of Shishima, Last of Us Part 2. Yes, obviously huge launches and really big sellers, Mile Morales, really big seller. I think Top Sale, the Top Sale selling game of November was Call of Duty Cold War. Followed by Miles Morales, followed by Sasuke Bahalla. Well, I think Sasuke Bahalla was number two, and then it was, I don't, it doesn't really matter. I mean, pandemic, things are selling well. I have some data on Cyberpunk. 8 million pre-orders, and they've already made back all the money they have spent on the game and marketing just off pre-orders. So that includes physical and digital across all platforms. Cyberpunk is a game I'm stoked to play. I'm going to be playing it on Xbox Series X. Apparently it runs better on Xbox Series X than PlayStation 5. That's what early performance metrics are showing. Clearly the game seems to be built for PC because there's a lot of bugs in the Series X, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4. It doesn't really matter. Any home console version of it seems to be buggy, whereas the PC version seems to be running much better, even on, like, you know, not necessarily top tier cards. Like, you know, I have a 5700 XT and a Ryzen 2700 X. I've seen other people with a similar setup and the game's actually running pretty well for them without the same glitches and bugs. So it's almost like they've made it for PC, targeting PC, and then, you know, try to, you know, port it to everything else. And obviously not, not maybe shock, maybe not surprisingly, considering that PC looks like it was the main platform that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the base consoles are having the worst issues, the worst bugs, whereas Series X and PlayStation 5 have less bugs. But they're not technically PlayStation 5 and Series X versions of the games. They are running in backwards compatibility mode on both platforms, which means they're just the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, just with, you know, the frame rate and resolutions unlocked and stuff like that. When they're actually optimized and we get the next-gen patches, they should probably run significantly better. But it's interesting to see that the majority market that's going to buy the game is having issues. And you want to know how big this game is. See, PC gaming is a big deal, but a lot of PC gamers are spread across a wide swath of games. We don't really all come together and congregate around a single game. That is unless you're cyberpunk 2077. It had over one million concurrent players on launch day on Steam, which is by far a record, by like 400,000 players or something that's a record on Steam, which is not the only way to get the game, by the way, on PC. It also had like a million or two million people watching it on Twitch on launch day. Again, I think let's have a recording right now. It's over 450,000 people watching it on Twitch. It's become instantly one of the most streamed games, most watched streamed games as well. So, yeah, big game, big sales. Big sales for everyone all around. And, yeah, as soon as I get that cash money, you know, I'll be getting that cyberpunk and doing some streams of it myself because I'm very interested in this game. I loved prior games from CD Projekt Red, so why not give this one a shot as well. All right, folks, I'm Nathaniel Roppeljantz from Nintendo Prime. I'm going to go play some Immortals Phoenix Rising because I really want to wrap that up before I dive into another big game. Cyberpunk's a significantly bigger game than Immortals. I am playing that on Switch. I'm loving the Switch version, so take that for what it is. And, yeah, I'll catch you guys in the next video.
