hi chartz
neogaf is more fun <3

 

[theprodigy]

Quoted for next page, sorry.

Captain Toad fits well with the Wii U's audience, Bayo 2...doesn't

to put things one way, the n64 was only slightly less successful than the super nes in the united states. the gamecube was a little more than half as successful as the n64. the wii u will be about half as successful as the gamecube.

hey now, Gamecube was more like 2/3 N64's LTD in the US

 

[DarkLordMalik]

And what happened to Vita, lol

Spoiler

As a Vita fan, I have accepted its fate in US and moved on

 

[darkside31337]

Sonic (combined) outsold Bayo 2. Damn.

 

[CosmicQueso]

What about Pokemon? If we still consider Japan a significant part of the market FIFA and CoD aren't exactly huge there.

Interesting thought... I'll research this. Maybe do a thread.

 

[The Shogun]

Probably between those two and GTA.

Good call on GTA, somehow totally slipped my mind.

Yup. Sounds right.

 

[jeremy1456]

I'm very happy that the Wii U is doing better.

Xbox One doing better than the PS4 was a pretty easy prediction, and I think for most future NPD results it's not out of the question.

Damn, both next-gen consoles did 1million in 1 month. Goddamn!

 

[vinnygambini]

The simple explanation is that one of them fits Nintendo's audience like a glove, vs the other being a more niche and complex offering. Toad's been in multi-million selling games so it's not as if Nintendo fans are unaware of the character, leading to further exposure and more sales.

Thanks for your answers everyone.

But I ask myself if the title were offered on other platforms would Bayonetta 2 have under performed as much?

I mean the value proposition was great, Bayonetta 1 & 2 included for the price of 1 and on 2 discs - great value, but alas it was not adopted by the Wii U fanbase.

I guess the answer is to double down on internal software and create an ecosystem where it fits the perceived Nintendo audience as oppose to try and maybe, expand their reach.

Or maybe instead secure third-party games a la Capcom with Resident Evil & Monster Hunter and bring that audience to that platform?

Alright pie charters, figure out the Wii U and Xbox One numbers from this!

 

[The Shogun]

Good to see both PS4 and Xbone over 1 million with still relatively high price points. When both get under $300 we could see some amazing sales.

 

[Bass260]

Other 2014 new games, no bundle, with special edition.

Yoshi > 400k
Friends ~ 400k
Kirby: > 360k
BD > 350k
FL: 142k
Golf: 102k
PVP: 73k
Sonic 3DS: 73k

DKC: > 440k
Musou ~ 370k
B2 < 135k
Sonic WiiU: 68k

Poor DK

Nice sales for BD and FL.

hey, maybe Tropical Freeze will limp over the 1 million line eventually

also not bad for Bravely Default and Fantasy Life, though I dunno what PVP is

Well this guys said
@TheKevinDent: Xbox One wins again:

Xbox One 1.29M
PS4 1.065M
So now we just need Wii U

 

[bananafactory]

OP Says 2.33 xb1/ps4 combined, so we have

XB1- 1.26 million
Ps4 - 1.07 million
Wiiu -???

 

[Doukou]

Interesting thought... I'll research this. Maybe do a thread.

I also think if you do this you should consider markets like Korea and China which while not console focus still have play a lot of games.

 

[ArchedThunder]

The first holiday with $300 as the base price for the systems will be fucking crazy.

 

[vinnygambini]

DKC: > 440k
Musou ~ 370k

Musou Zelda did great; most likely 400k with digital sales - Koei Tecmo must be pleased.

Donkey Kong is going to struggle to reach 1 million WW with Japan only at 100k ;.;

 

[Daemul]

What are the sales for RPG of the year?

 

[sörine]

Hyrule Warriors might too.

Nice to see Fantasy Life recover a little.

 

[shinra-bansho]

What about Pokemon? If we still consider Japan a significant part of the market FIFA and CoD aren't exactly huge there.

It's significant. But in the same way the UK or Germany are significant parts of the global market. Not as a comparable region to like NA and EU the way it used to be viewed.

Also, COD has been doing okay there in recent years.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Good month for both consoles. Hopefully 2015 will be even better.

 

[Oersted]

Yeah sure, but it feels like there haven't been some numbers in quite a while. And eeeeveryone normally gets a christmas boost.

 

[theprodigy]

XB1- 1.26 million
Ps4 - 1.07 million

argh I wish people would stop using that 2.33m/65% figure, it's easily the least accurate thing in this whole thread (because 1% up or down changes everything so much)

 

[Usobuko]

pvp?

 

[The Shogun]

Yep makes sense and lines up exactly with what I was seeing all month. Things were much closer in December.

 

[synce]

Kids and families first.

That would be the wrong message, but you're probably right.

I can say that personally I didn't buy Bayo 2 because it looked exactly like Bayo 1, and that's not worth $60 today given what else is on the market and my backlog.

So that's one problem with the game. Another problem: the name. Terrible idea to put a "2" in the title of something that's never been on a Nintendo console before, even if it includes the original game, ESPECIALLY if you're not going to advertise the game (yet another problem).

I'm curious why Nintendo keeps funding these M-rated games when they never even try to advertise them. It's like they feel obligated to have "cool" non-kiddy games, but are ashamed or don't want to be associated with them. Well no shit they won't sell in that case. I feel bad for Itagaki and Devil's Third, it will certainly tank

Red Pacman had me laughing.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

What are the sales for RPG of the year?

Yeh. We need to know the sales for FF XIV.

 

[LOCK]

Guys this was a great month. Software is probably up YOY if you include digital. Nintendo did great. TOAD DID AWESOME.

I'm optimistic about the next year.

 

[NateDrake]

pvp?

Layton vs Phoenix

 

[shinra-bansho]

Kids and families first.

Why?

 

[Bass260]

pvp?

I'm guessing Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.

 

[The Shogun]

I'm optimistic about the next year.

We have Zelda, Uncharted, and Halo all hitting this holiday.

Sales will be enormous.

 

[Doukou]

Yeh. We need to know the sales for FF XIV.

That came out last year wise-guy

 

[anexanhume]

Any dragon age numbers?

 

[slit]

to put things one way, the n64 was only slightly less successful than the super nes in the united states. the gamecube was a little more than half as successful as the n64. the wii u will be about half as successful as the gamecube.

I don't think that will pan out to be true. GC sold about 22 million WW. That would mean Wii-U would have to top out around 11 million WW. Unless Nintendo releases a new console next year, I think it'll do somewhat better than 11 million.

 

[C4Lukins]

It would do nothing to help them. The console is dead outside the US/UK

The WW gap is probably heading towards 10 million soon

Well you sort of sound like a crazy person, but I will respond to you. The Xbox One is not dead in every country outside of the US and UK, it is just not winning. Just about in every European country, new releases chart just behind PS4 releases. It is not like they do not show up at all.

Your fantasy of a Sony utopia, where Cerny is tickiling your nose hairs with his tongue, upon a giant floating marshmellow may well come, but lets give it a few months. No need to go so strong, reveal your hand and so on.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Guys this was a great month. Software is probably up YOY if you include digital. Nintendo did great. TOAD DID AWESOME.

Good luck with that.

Regarding Bayo 2, atleast it wasn't as bad as Wonderful 101.

We have Wii U. We need a reference point for the Last-Gen graph and 3DS.

Layton vs Phoenix

OH! Clever.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I've only been kinda keeping any eye on this thread, has there been any hint at all as to how much the 3DS sold other than a pie chart with no number context?

 

[creamsugar]

MC < 330k
FH2 > 325k

Just realized but Kirby had great legs wow

It had less than a 50k debut if I remember correctly.
