by William D'Angelo , posted on 02 February 2020 / 4,862 ViewsVideo game industry analyst Benji-Sales via Twitter has released his hardware predictions for the US in November 2019.
Benji says the Nintendo Switch will be the best-selling platform with an increase in sales year-over-year. However, he says growth might be limited due to Cyber Monday being in December this year.
The PlayStation 4 will see a decline in sales year-over-year, however, sales will be over one million. Xbox One sales will be below one million units, but above 800,000 units.

Came to this after crunching a TON of data but don't take it as gospel by any means
Holiday period is difficult to accurately predict due to huge volume being sold as well as market share shifts
I feel confident this should be the general ranges though 👍

How much did they sell last year?
NPD numbers
PS4-1480k
NSW-1360k
XBO-1340k
Oh wow, so if Lassie is accurate, Switch could be around 1.5 or higher.
Well, seems like a big November for Switch.
If XBO is really above 800k then it's holding up a bit better than expected, I was thinking more like 750k for them
For starting it’s 6th, and with a lot of current competition, 1 million is not too shabby.
Strong Black Friday Sales. interesting fact: the PlayStation 4 has sold better in every country in the world than the Xboxone. In every country, usa too!
And PlayStation@Guiness World Records, now.
So not 1m but over 800k.. sooo basically 1m.
820k is not a million, yeas is kind of close but 1m
I mean the consumer market rounds this stuff out anyway.
If the growth is slim in November because of Cyber Monday being counted towards December, then that should help the Switch's chances with December this year compared to last year.
Over 800k for Xbox One? I'd assume lower than that.
As much as I'd love this person to be accurate.... I just have a gut feeling this dudes full of shit and doesnt know shit. Where did he suddenly come from? Feels like the same "benji" that was no insider before. But.... I hope hes right. I want total switch dominance. Which I expect, but you never know.
Hes been giving retail info for a few years now and his predictions are almost always pretty close to accurate.
He has access to Gamestop sales data on a national level which makes up a pretty sizable amount of overall US sales, he doesnt have the full picture but he has a decent amount of it and can make general guesses based on that.
