Yes.
PS3 is 299K.
Wii U is 480K < Wii U < 482K.
These earlier numbers I shared are not calculations.
Hard to say, especially because we don't know how much Sony will hold in inventory for the Japan launch. There's at least a 6-week drought until Titanfall, Infamous, and MGS arrive, so Sony could conceivably manage supply to where PS4 is commonly sold out, which would probably be smart to do for at least a while longer.

Xbox One is going to be a distant second this whole gen. WOW at PS4 numbers. Impressive.

Good. Just trying to guess what
Mario 3d
Zombi U
Zelda WW
Wii U Party
lifetime totals are.
Having trouble guessing.
Yes.. 299k and 481k
My thoughts exactly. Next months NPD is also going to be very interesting.

After creamsugars latest post on the console difference and going with 858K for PS4, plus using Greenbergs software numbers, which look to be rounded amounts, I get this for a swag at the US tie ratios:
XB1 US LTD: 909+908 = 1817
PS4 US LTD: 1138+858 = 1996
Software
XB1 Total: 4800
XB1 1st/2nd Party: 1500
XB1 3rd Party: 3300
PS4 Total: 4200
PS4 1st/2nd Party: 600
PS4 3rd Party: 3600
Tie Ratio
XB1 Total: 2.64
XB1 1st/2nd Party: 0.82
XB1 3rd Party: 1.82
PS4 Total: 2.10
PS4 1st/2nd Party: 0.30

Damn.
And still sold out too.
MS might have sold more in Dec, but it seems like a Pyrrhic victory when your competitor is keeping pace and sold out. I expected both to be in the realm of 1.5 million units though. I was hoping for a really big Dec.

And of course, there's this:
Dayum! And it'd be/look even more crazy if the PS4/Xbone lines started in Nov when they launched instead of Oct. (unless I'm missing something with that)

seriously, we've gone 53 pages without 3DS numbers?
I am so confused. By "You got XB1,360,PS3,WiiU, then got wrong chart" do you mean he put the consoles in the right locations?
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
Nope we don't add stuff cream post to the OP.
Unfortunately yes

Sony said 4.2 million through December 28 (NPD actually covers an additional week, although who knows what Sony shipped, if anything). Not enough to pass Wii U.

Last month Sony sold 1138K PS4 consoles.
This month Sony sold -24% consoles.

Vita = between 94K to 96K

So 865k PS4's sold. Not bad at all for a heavily supply contained console. Wonder how much demand there really is.

So 864k PS4s as a guess for Dec.
Whoops, 865 rounded up.
Whoops, 865 rounded up.
thats a possibility I mean what other good games where around that time for wii U and don't forget that the game had a lot of hype back thn
I remember wondering about Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate on the 3DS. As much as I love niche Japanese games, I had an uneasiness about whether Arkham Origins Blackgate would be one of the last "core" western, retail titles for the 3DS. Reggie saying third parties are waiting for the install base to be driven before jumping in to Nintendo consoles. Okay, well if the WiiU hasn't met that condition yet, what about 3DS? But I'm not getting the feeling that there's more games such as that coming to the 3DS in the future. Do you remember its numbers?

at this rate, by December 2014 Sony will only manage 32k for PS4, disaster incoming /MSmath
863k (is the max range- 858k-863k)

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
And? They sold every console they shipped, so they shipped 24% less, which isn't saying much because Nov had a time to stock pile.
Anyone else surprised Last of Us only sold 1.5 million in NA? I expected a lot more units sold by now. =

Probably. I tend to think that the disparity in demand is 20% hype and 80% price. Microsoft will be chasing Sony on the price for most of the generation. Unless...
Microsoft could cut the price on the current bundle to $450, and then sell a Kinect-less SKU for $350, and get ahead of Sony on the price.
They could, but they won't. If the focus on profitability that Microsoft is rumored to have for the Xbone is true, then Microsoft may not be willing to sacrifice cash flow for system sales. If they are a distant second and profitable, they won't care. And the Xbone will still sell enough to get third party support, the same way the PS3 did during the first half of the last generation.
If it were this system, with the Microsoft of old, there would already be price parity, and the Xbone would be ahead in the US by pushing supply into the market.

17.1% of Nintendo software revenue (1st-party) came from Wii U software this month.

Really? It didn't even manage to break 100k in the busiest month of the year? What a disaster Vita is! Wii U sold 5x as much as it did :/

Edited your list - I have every game listed, as it is now.
Whether the system has a respectable (yet limited) library, does not determine quantifying the system as failure.
Vita launched with 26 games, built up a fantastic library (I love the Vita library) & here we are: Newsflash! Vita is also a failure.
Enjoy the WiiU. I surely do.
But whether or not you enjoy the system, whether or not you fancy the library - neither instance precludes the factual reality:
WiiU is selling worse the GCN. The WiiU is a failing home system. If Nintendo aspires GCN sales (25 million); why compete in the home segment?

Settle down, Beavis. She's helping us confirm/arrive at the number. We all know the shipment situation.
Bad legs (Sold 985k first month and 170k second)
But Black Friday bundle must have sold well.

Hmm there would be some digital sales of it but I'm not sure how much of an effect that would have. I think it did quite well considering it's the last year the PS3 was the main playstation console
These games are fun!
lol i remember the days when my girlfriend would tease me with all sorts of things but this stuff is actually just as bad or not worse hehe
because it didn't crack last year's numbers and they didn't say it sold a million, my guess would be anywhere between 920k and 950k.

Haven't added up the math, but I think the PS4 did in 2 months what took the PS3 an entire year.
