Wonde rif FFX HD will outsell LR lol

It did in Japan and I believe it will in the west. It's been charting high on Amazon for quite some time now where as LR was only up there for a short amount of time and then dropped off quickly.

 

[cakely]

Reading comprehension would suggest that it's only the Xbox One considering they're comparing the figure to the 360's in February 2006.

There's absolutely no need to be snarky, but thank you.

 

[Jburton]

Titanfall bump vs constrained stock.

 

[ShogunDarius]

is this Feb 1st to Feb 28th?

Xbox 360: 114k

Damn it Last place in NPD predictions here I come

 

[DaBoss]

360 did 114K!?!?!?!? I'm done with predictions. Consoles, please start selling with some sort of pattern.

 

[Loris146]

is the ps4 still supply constrained in the US? i've still never seen a ps4 in-store in canada.

Yes.

 

[Iacobellis]

I was of the opinion that MS couldn't win march. I am now recalibrating that opinion.

I'm still surprised that Microsoft never released numbers past the 3M mark.

 

[shink]

Xbox One did better than I expected. I can see it outselling the PS4 if supply still remains an issue.

 

[theprodigy]

Nah, I think most people are expecting it to come out on top. It'll have the Titanfall boost and the PS4 will likely still be having supply issues (Sony says it won't be fixed till April). It'd be more of an upset if the PS4 came on top, imo.

yeah well now we expect Xbox One to win March
not before this though

 

[Havel]

Titanfall is this month not last month

I know.

But I imagine a lot of people bought an Xbox One for Titanfall last month.

 

[Begaria]

I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox One did better than the PS4 in March purely due to Titanfall. Also, I certainly won't be surprised to see Titanfall in the top 10 and Second Son below it (or not on it) considering Second Son releases later in March compared to Titanfall.

As for February, kind of surprised to see PS4 over the Xbox One, given that it launched in Japan and likely some inventory was heading that way. I'd be interested in knowing how many PS4s were shipped to January for that launch.

Go Bravely D! Solid numbers for PS4/XB1!

Wii U could be worse too. DK should be higher, such a wonderful game as well, but it is what it is.

Wonder how Vita and 3DS hardware are looking.

 

[Zalman]

So what's the LTD on PS4/X1/WiiU?

Worldwide:

PS4: More than 6 million
WIU: About 6 million
XB1: About 4 million

 

[TheRealTalker]

258k units sold of xbone or xbox family? Did MS specify?

XO

 

[Kusagari]

It feels so good to see an RPG like Bravely Default in the top 10.

 

[Daemul]

Xbox One almost doubling January?!?...the heck happened O_O

 

[azhar]

I thought the XB1 would sell horribly this month (because people would be waiting until March 11th to pick-up the Titanfall bundle). Seems strange that anyone would buy the regular Xbox One when you could get the one with a free game for the same price? NPD only counts B&M sales, right? How do preorders factor into their sales?

Anyway, looks like quite good numbers all around, which is always nice to see!

 

[Frayne Daddy]

Great numbers. Not quite the blowout many were expecting. I knew x1's were selling in my area. Seems more and more friends each day are getting one.

E3 is gonna heat up good.

 

[Ken Masters]

If MS doesn't say specially the sales are Xbone only then we can assume it's both

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Also says: "Microsoft claims 258,000 units sold in U.S. in Feb, 61% higher than Xbox 360 at same point in time."

And people here "think" the Xbox one needs saving. smh

 

[gamechanger87]

Not with the releases of Infamous: Second Son and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (MGS always sells significantly more on Sony consoles).

I don't think MGS will move consoles. I don't think that many people are going to spring for essentially a demo.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Worldwide:

PS4: More than 6 million
WIU: About 6 million
XB1: About 4 million

Sorry, I meant US only.

 

[Tratorn]

Nice numbers for MS, so they'll probably be at no 1 in march.

 

[Fangrim]

March is going to be extremely interesting. I know of stores that are getting a huge shipment of PS4s, like double the Titanfall bundle, in preparation for next week, and Amazon seemed to get a huge shipment last week.

If this is true, I don't think Microsoft will win March. Not a chance.

The thirst is real.

 

[Tobor]

Microsoft might sneak by in March, but it's the last month in 2014 where they have a chance to. Sony will sweep the rest of the year, barring a surprise Kinectless Sku/price drop at E3.

 

[Deadly Joker]

For a month where it seemed like Sony didn't ship any, doing 286k is really friggen good imo. Imagine if they actually had suitable stock.

We will see in March. PS4 supply has been greatly improved this month.

 

[Jetlagger]

It's gonna be a long generation for PS4 fans, Xbox One just has no quit and will probably still be finding it affordable to buy more exclusives.

 

[kurbaan]

Xbone gonna outsell PS4 next month. Calling it now. Infamous isnt gonna do anything (compared to titanfall).

Also LR should have bombed worse. Hopefully FFX kills it in sales.

 

[Terbinator]

Not with the releases of Infamous: Second Son and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (MGS always sells significantly more on Sony consoles).

Xbox games always shifting big numbers, though. Is GZ (or even MGS now) a system seller? I'm not convinced.

 

[pswii60]

Surprised at XB1 performance. Perhaps it could outsell PS4 during March in US after all.

Still has a lot of catching up to do after last month's dismal showing though.

 

[Kriken]

Damn it Last place in NPD predictions here I come

I think at this point everyone's in contention for last place. Seems like the January NPD numbers just made the estimates all so low

 

[razgriz417]

March is going to be extremely interesting. I know of stores that are getting a huge shipment of PS4s, like double the Titanfall bundle, in preparation for next week, and Amazon seemed to get a huge shipment last week.

Anectdotale but saw a whole pallette of PS4 bundles along with xbones (regular green boxes though) at my Costco this weekend too.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Taxmas?

Hmm, bigger than normal though across the board (if 360 is 114K), with the exception of PS4 so far in terms of bumps.

Maybe it was more than January was really depressed this year.

 

[TheRealTalker]

what a healthy February

 

[vinnygambini]

360 did 114K!?!?!?!? I'm done with predictions. Consoles, please start selling with some sort of pattern.

Seriously. I think most of our predictions are going to fall short in February quite significantly

 

[Tenki]

Venturebeat: "Bravely Default and Donkey Kong were the No. 2 and No. 4 best-selling games of the month."

Talking about individual SKUs I think.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I think the combined Metal Gear/inFamous will still swing March in PS4's favour. Again, probably similar perchange difference to this month. ASSUMING Sony can keep stock flowing.

 

[Asd202]

Microsoft might sneak by in March, but it's the last month in 2014 where they have a chance to. Sony will sweep the rest of the year, barring a surprise Kinectless Sku/price drop at E3.

Agree 100%.

When was the bundle announced?

Xbox 360: 114k

Wow, Ian Sheer's not going to suffer any blowback from just releasing numbers?

 

[harSon]

When did the Titanfall and Forza 5 Xbox One bundles release?

 

[Parablank]

consoles seem pretty neck and neck... I wonder if there will ever be a clear-cut winner in NA

I'm expecting XBONE to take the lead with TF coming out this month, hype levels for SS are no where near close as Titanfall

 

[gamechanger87]

If MS doesn't say specially the sales are Xbone only then we can assume it's both

Again it has been clarified that the number quoted is XB1. 360 sold 114k

 

[jcm]

How do these console numbers track with previous generations. Are these healthy unit sales 3 months into the market? I need to know before I start serving "console market is dying" crow.

March 2007:

360 199K
PS2	280K
WII	259K
PS3	130K

If the Wii U were pulling its weight we'd be in pretty good shape.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I like this Ian Sherr guy. Always good to get more info.

What does that mean in context to the numbers?

 

[Yoda]

those 360 numbers are quite good too, do we know what PS3 did?

 

[Darksol]

Fascinating! I severely underestimated everyone.

 

[dolabla]

I wonder how many PS4's would have been sold if Sony wasn't supply constrained here in the US?

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

It's gonna be a long generation for PS4 fans, Xbox One just has no quit and will probably still be finding it affordable to buy more exclusives.

I'm not quite sure what this means?
