Thank you, Mpl90. You are the real MVP.

Xbox One 189k | July 2014 131k x 1.44 = 189k

MoM drop was 36%

YoY rise is 44%

Weekly average

June: 297k / 5 weeks = 59,400

July: 189k / 4 weeks = 47,250

3DS is a number

Meh, who cares about NPD? They aren't even close to showing the full story. Who cares if Sony sold 20000 or so consoles more? July saw the launch of Windows 10, bringing with it 14 million people into the Xbox ecosystem within 24 hours. That's enough to eliminate the sales gap IN ONE DAY.

I don't see how Sony can recover from this. I mean at one point they had the Vaio, but Kaz shortsightedly got out of the PC business to afford buying timed DLC for CoD.

I guess I should let all the ponies enjoy this one NPD battle, but Microsoft is winning the war.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Well ESO doing better than I would have expected.

 

[alr1ght]

god damn Minecraft.

 

[Shizuka]

Lego? That's surprising.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Damn Jurrasic World making it work.

 

[Tratorn]

That Lego and Minecraft still sell so "bad" on PS4 isn't good for the upcoming holiday/christmas sales.

It was a problem last gen with PS3, where (besides the first few years) it managed to not be behind the 360 by a huge margin in 9 months of the year, but get "destroyed" in october - december. And this gen it still seems that parents prefer XBox/Nintendo platforms as a gift for their kids. Of course that's relatively spoken.

If you want to have really great holiday sales, your console should also be the "goto" platform for games like lego, minecraft, just dance etc., but PlayStation still seems to lack the "I'm a good familiy gift"-appeal a bit.

 

[ethomaz]

It is liveeeeeeeeeee.

DESTINY!!!

 

[Svartafaran]

Still hanging in there!

 

[Rymuth]

Kudos, Mpl90

 

[QuikNez]

1. 189 K is respectable for X1
2. Surprisingly, Destiny continues to be in Beast mode
3. Unsurprisingly, PS4 is in Beastiality mode

 

[Gentleman Jack]

What was Tiger Wood's highest placement in NPD charts?

Also, golf is that big? Or is July that soft?

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Splatoon still selling well. Curious how it will hold.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Warner Bros all over the place. Must be nice.

 

[Ricky_R]

There are no Amazon details in the OP.

 

[Pathfinder]

Batman busy spreading his wings.

 

[Chobel]

We still have no estimation for PS4? C'mon people

“After 21 months, combined Xbox One and PS4 hardware unit sales are close to 50 percent higher than the combined sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 after 21 months on the market,” said Callahan.

 

[Kastrioti]

Kind of hard to tell software when the sales are all bundled up by console from PS3 to 360 to PS4.

 

[AdanVC]

This top ten is just... A golf game charting. I have never enjoyed a golf videogame in my life, not even the one on Wii Sports. Grand Theft Auto... almost two years since it was released and continues charting. Pretty much every single person with a 360, PS3, X1 and PS4 has the game... and PC. Splatoon out of the top ten :'( Do we know how much Wii U sold? 1k probably.

 

[OnionPowder]

Lego on PS4 selling 2nd worst is really odd.

Also top platform for Destiny and ESO (again) are Xbox One. Weird charts.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

1. Unsurprisingly, PS4 is in Beastiality mode

Better that than bestiality mode

 

[allan-bh]

Thanks for open the thread.

Xbox One did a little better than I thought and 3DS continues his bad sales.

 

[Svartafaran]

We still have no estimation for PS4? C'mon people

I think its safe to say over 200K

 

[Deku Tree]

How did Destiny chart out of the Blue like that?

 

[Bluekaveli]

It keeps coming

 

[shadowfall]

Wow. Sony is like unstoppable right now. With upcoming bundles like Battlefront and Blackops - I think they might take the holidays too. Congrats Sony.

Eh those games are selling better on last gen platforms though. So It could have something to do with how cheap last gen consoles are plus the family friendly options.

Lets be real. The consoles are going to sell well because of Halo, Fallout, Battlefront, COD, MGS and Batman. Plus amazing bundles and great holiday deals.

 

[Neuromancer]

In addition to the hardware, Sony also pointed out that PS4 top software sales at all, which means people bought more games for that system than Xbox One or Wii U.

Makes sense

 

[Tapejara]

Good year for Warner Bros. Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X, Arkham Knight and now LEGO Jurassic World. What do they have for the rest of the year? LEGO Avengers?

Also, somewhat surprised PS4 was second last for LEGO Jurassic Sales. Guess the 360 is still doing well when it comes to "family" (edit: "family" was the better word choice) software.

I don't think anyone's falling for it. Boo.

 

[OnionPowder]

Sales + The Taken King hype

I'm guessing this is just sarcasm but I reserve the right to have a sensible chuckle about it later.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

ESO still pulling a bigger audience on the XB1, that FFXIV effect still?

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Wooohoo! Two Vita games in the top 10! Vita is a beast!

 

[OnionPowder]

ESO still pulling a bigger audience on the XB1, that FFXIV effect still?

Or playstation crowd is still burned from Skyrim

 

[Ōkami]

PS3+360 after 21 months: ~10998k

That's 360 from November 2005 to July 2007 and PS3 from November 2006 to July 2008.

Close to 50% higher would put XB1+PS4 at <16498k.

Quoting myself from the predictions thread, posted this just as the thread came out.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I wonder how many copies Arkham Knight sold, clealy must be over 5 million ww, right?

 

[Dyson Industries]

Kids want what their friends have, and will natter at their parents to get it. This gen, that's PS4.

Whatever happened last gen with PS3 has no parallel now. If anything, it's the Xbone that's struggling to "not be behind" the PS4 by a huge margin in 9 months of year. If they hold yet another firesale this holiday season, it'll help - but only in the United States.

 

[Deku Tree]

Sales + The Taken King hype

Yeah it's that Taken King Hype.

 

[Kusagari]

Lego Jurassic World sold really bad on PS4. Only beat the Vita.

 

[OnionPowder]

Quoting myself from the predictions thread, posted this just as the thread came out.

They have to be counting it as 2005 to 2007 with PS3 on the market for 1 year

 

[double jump]

MKX in top 10 again. Come on kombat pack 2.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

I get the feeling from sales numbers that not many kids have ps4's.

 

[AgentP]

How did Destiny chart out of the Blue like that?

PS4 had a good digital sale on Destiny last month, I got the DD deluxe with both expansions for $35.

 

[timetokill]

Splatoon squid jumps past 500k. Crow continues to be served.

 

[phanphare]

today I learned that Fifa 15 released on the Wii, Vita, and 3DS

neat

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm guessing the reason that Destiny sold more on Xbone in July was because of people waiting for the PS4 TTK bundle next month?

That's all I got.

 

[Svartafaran]

I wonder how many copies Arkham Knight sold, clealy must be over 5 million ww, right?

Hope so, great game

 

[hydruxo]

That Taken King hype is real for Destiny,
