i think one might consider watch_dogs a major release.

Yeah but from last month. I'm guessing he is referring to no new releases for June. E3/Destiny Alpha etc are also contributing I'm sure

it's really impressive how well the multiplats are selling on the PS4. Moneyhatting third party exclusives will be much more expensive for MS now

 

[Huff]

it almost seems less fun now that we have the hardware and software numbers

 

[Dire]

If the pie chart interpretations are correct, seems like PS4 sales are even better than expected: weekly average sales are actually getting better despite summer and no major releases.

Amongst the PS3/360 from last gen sales stayed even or improved (week for week) nearly every single June. Overall sales (in other words allowing for the 5 week vs 4 week difference) increased 100% of the time for said consoles in June. People's predictions for this month were particularly lazy for some reason.

 

[Mysterious]

Being outsold by 700k and climbing in your only strong territory is a huge problem. I don't think it's over-exaggerated at all.

The YTD2014 difference is like half of that.

 

[Y2Kev]

I need a breakdown of how the PS4 is still selling this well. Does the mass market still think the Xbox is a DRM machine?

do you really want a breakdown or is this a rhetorical question

[Danthrax]

Welp, I reckon that site is done. Once it hits GAF, there's no going back!

It'll probably be nuked by tomorrow evening. Backup all their data while you still can!

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

The YTD2014 difference is less than half of that.

Source ?

i think one might consider watch_dogs a major release.

Watch_Dogs came out at the end of last month, but you're right, it may have had a carry over effect.

 

[Mysterious]

Source ?

Magic.

 

[AniHawk]

But that came out in the May NPD tracking period and did the majority of its sales there.

that's a good point. it thought it had released fairly late like mario kart had. i didn't realize the split in sales.

 

[Amentallica]

The YTD2014 difference is less than half of that.

Last I checked it was around 550k, no?

 

[MaximumSpider]

What is Fit and ToSC?

Wii Fit and Tales of Symphonia I think

 

[Yawnier]

What is Fit and ToSC?

ToSC is probably Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (ps3 exclusive)

Fit, I have no idea.

 

[JABEE]

I'm happy InFamous is doing well. I enjoyed it, though, it was a little too short.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

What is Fit and ToSC?

Wii Fit U and Tales of Symphonia Chronicles

wii fit and tales of southern california

wow, Titanfall at 1,6m without bundles? Thats a major success tbh. I had a completely different picture of its commercial performance.

And lol at Dark Souls 2. Deserved sales.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

Last I checked it was around 550k, no?

The lead is 655k~ assuming the numbers people came up in regards to the pie chart are accurate. Only 475k~ of that is in 2014 with the other 175k~ being from November and December of last year.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Hmm, all three current gen consoles exceeded expectations this month I think. Good showings.

 

[random25]

Mario Kart is historically a much bigger title than Smash. By a lot. Smash is still but would you expect it to make a bigger splash than Mario Kart? Mario Kart might just be Nintendo's biggest console franchise. Bigger than Mario platformers. Bigger than Zelda and Smash.

I think Smash will be a bigger splash than MK8. While Mario Kart franchise is a big one, it is not always the biggest opener, except for handhelds. Meanwhile, Smash is pretty much the biggest hype drawer of Nintendo, and with the big attention being poured to it, it will have a bigger opening impact than MK8 especially in the US, where home console is bigger than handheld. But there's no denying that MK8 will have a better potential in terms of having a higher LTD than Smash (the only instance Smash beat MK LTD is on the Gamecube era).

Way ahead of you. I have caches of all their reports saved

 

[allan-bh]

If possible, Titanfall bundle and Mario Kart 8 bundle LTD

 

[GamerJM]

Wonder how SE feels about it getting outsold by FFX HD.

I'm actually wondering how SE is feeling about not putting their HD Collection games on 360 as well as PS3. LR PS3 outsold the 360 version by a pretty large margin but it's not like the 360 version's sales weren't still a somewhat decent chunk of that game's sales.

Are these WW or USA?

Are these retail or do they include digital?

 

[Mass Effect]

How much did Infamous sell in March again?

Numbers are decent, but yeah, should be better. I suspect PC did very well since it blew past 360 statistics very quickly on farfire.darksoulsii.com. It is probably 400k-500k at the minimum.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if DS2 PC sales were greater than 360 and PS3 (each, not combined) in the US.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Last I checked it was around 550k, no?

I saw a post from someone that is tracking and said May NPD puts the PS4 at a 500k+ lead

 

[Road]

PS4 LTD: 3.58m
XBO LTD: 2.92m

Difference = ~660k


2014 Jan-Jun only:

PS4: 1.58m
XBO: 1.10m

Difference = ~480k

Are these WW or USA?

Are these retail or do they include digital?

NPD threads numbers are USA and physical only (unless noted otherwise)

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

No digital, USA NPD only.

for digital you can maybe mark up the LTDs by 3-5% and thats being generous.

 

[benny_a]

461k

 

[Windom Earle]

Yeah, didn't expect South Park to do more than DS2.

 

[AniHawk]

Meanwhile, Smash is pretty much the biggest hype drawer of Nintendo, and with the big attention being poured to it, it will have a bigger opening impact than MK8 especially in the US, where home console is bigger than handheld. But there's no denying that MK8 will have a better potential in terms of having a higher LTD than Smash (the only instance Smash beat MK LTD is on the Gamecube era).

if they do a price drop for the holidays to $250, and have a smash bundle that has the game, a mario amiibo, and a wii remote for $300 (or a gamecube controller + adapter for $330), i think there's a lot of potential there to move systems.

 

[Mysterious]

A little close, but not quiteee.

Hmm, all three current gen consoles exceeded expectations this month I think. Good showings.

Even though it was a 5 week tracking period, they all recieved bumps. I'm surprised @ the PS4 numbers tbh thou. If 270 is legit its week to week increased without any kind of special event like the WiiU and Xbox One had.

 

[Chobel]

Xbone weekly sales in April = 117/4 = 29.25K/week
Xbone weekly sales in June = 197/5 = 39.4K/week

+34.7% increase in weekly sales.

 

[simplythebest]

GTAV still kicking.

360 version selling better at least

 

[Jamix012]

Are these WW or USA?

USA retail only.

Am I evil for wanting a 3D world number despite all the info we already have?

Yep especially Wii U. Good month for all of them.

Reports? You mean there are more than this one?

 

[Mass Effect]

461k

So about 200k for the following two months? That's not bad at all. Pretty good actually.

 

[Busaiku]

Reports? You mean there are more than this one?

Goes back to March.
Though, honestly, we already had most of the data.

 

[And_Gignac]

Too low. More like 10-12%. Even 20% in handhelds.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Reports? You mean there are more than this one?

Yes, I found 6 I think.

 

[Canis lupus]

All these game sales seem pathetic when compared to the chart of game sales in 2001 that was posted a few pages back.

Add to the fact that development costs are so much bigger 13 years later and all I can see is doom.

Is you trollin? Tomodachi which came at nr9 has sold more than nr2 of the 2001 chart. Nr2 of 2014 sold 100k more units than nr1 of 2001. And most of those charting games of 2001 were GBA launch titles. Most of those games in the 2001 list are classics now, but they weren't doing better back then. The sales and revenue are a lot bigger today.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

There's an interesting picture posted on ******** forums and it looks kinda real but I'm not sure. Anyone can verify that?
