MS is in a good spot,closer than expected and March is looking to be good for them.

 

[Toth]

I am just thrilled 2 great JRPGs charted. There is still hope for us!

 

[Boombloxer]

Good sales for both, hopefully they keep on truckin'.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Bravely Default is in top 10 makes me really happy

 

[digoutyoursoul]

My heart just melted

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

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

 

[RE_Player]

Wonder if inFamous will provide a bump up in PS4's sold and where it will chart on NPD considering it's releasing late in the month.

 

[legend166]

Nice rebound for the Xbone. I expect it to be above PS4 next month, which should make for an interesting thread.

 

[Majanew]

Xbox One number is off in OP. It's 258, not 256.

 

[Frillen]

Good Xbone performance, way better than what people expected. PS4 is the king though.

And go Bravely!

 

[DaBoss]

Venturebeat made a mistake here right?

Nintendo confirmed that Donkey Kong helped boost Wii U sales by 25 percent over last year. Based on last year’s estimates, that means Nintendo sold around 100,000 Wii Us.

The Wii U sold an estimated 55,000 units in January (2013). A 40 percent increase would put in in the 80,000 range, but it failed to outpace the Xbox 360 yet again.

 

[Asd202]

Seems like all consoles did better than I expected.

 

[btkadams]

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

Ian Sherr ‏@iansherr 3m
@geoffkeighley percentage points vs. percent. Not the same thing.

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

 

[Foshy]

Have a feeling March is going to be huge.

Yeah. Expecting >400k for both consoles. Will be great to see.

 

[Squalor]

The Xbox One might actually have a better March than the PS4, but if so it will more than likely go down again in April.

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

Xbox 360: 114k

Huh. That's a pretty big bump, right? I'm curious what the cause is.

 

[Owzers]

I think the streams will cross in march, but i also want to know if this is xbox family and not just xbox one....258k seems high for xbox one.

 

[SwiftDeath]

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

Yep now somehow March NPD is harder to predict 0_0

 

[FlyStarJay]

seriously what is sony doing? inFamous is coming up sony better over supply us

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Said it once and I'll say it again. Xbone will win March.

Say what you will about TF, the marketing on that game alone has been through the fucking roof.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Wonde rif FFX HD will outsell LR lol

 

[LordBaztion]

Dat shinking console market.
Anyway, glad for MS. X1 advantaging PS4 this month is not discarded after all.

 

[speculawyer]

Basketball players have long legs.

 

[ZSaberLink]

So these are ordered by sales ranking, right? It's interesting how the Wii U SKU outsold the Xbox One and PS4 SKUs.

It seems like Lego games are one third party franchise that have been doing well on both the 3DS and Wii U. Thus I think it's a lock to continue getting Lego games in the future on both consoles as long as that continues.

 

[djtiesto]

Wow, nice to see some good sales for Bravely Default! I was kinda hoping it would beat Lightning Returns, alas... still surprised both BD and LR charted. Probably the first time I recall 2 RPGs making it into the NPD top 10 in a single month.

 

[harSon]

Units? Does that mean units of Xbox One or units of "Microsoft Family"?

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

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

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

I have no doubt they'll win March through sheer marketing dollars alone. Maybe even April. But then I think we'll get back to them lagging behind PS4 in May .

 

[JetBlackPanda]

PlayStation ‏@PlayStation 1m
NPD Group: PS4 is #1 again for the month, and cumulative sales, in the United States. Thanks for your support!

gonna need that for next month.

I have no desire to own a Xbone right now but its closer they it should be in NA.

So happy for Bravely Default!

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

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.

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.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Remember that Xbox came with a 50 gift card at Target. It also had many promotions for free games throughout February.

 

[gamechanger87]

Units? Does that mean units of Xbox One or units of "Microsoft Family"?

He clarified:


XB1 was 258,000. Xbox 360 sales were 114,000 in the U.S. in Feb.

Xbox 360: 114k

wow not bad. I bet it's back above ps3 again.

 

[Ken Masters]

Wonder if inFamous will provide a bump up in PS4's sold and where it will chart on NPD considering it's releasing late in the month.

First big AAA game since launch, I'd say so


PS4 gamers are hungry, look at tomb raider sales on ps4

 

[iori9999]

Then you were crazy. Consumers are fickle as fuck. Hell, I'm surprised it's selling as well as it is so I guess that's something.

What's crazy is that even late in the life of both PS3 and Xbox 360, that the 360 was still winning.. I'm sorry but the PS3 dominated the Xbox's Library from 2010 on..

 

[Justice_Bolt]

PS4 still leading in MS own Country. The sales in Europe are like 3-4:1. Return of the king confirmed.

 

[mrklaw]

If that headline software list is multi format, why does it show minecraft as 360 only, when it's on PS3 as well? Is minecraft not available as a download card in retail stores in the US yet?

 

[Yawnier]

The Xbox One might actually have a better March than the PS4, but if so it will more than likely go down again in April.

This is also what I'm thinking will end up happening now.

 

[Yaoibot]

Great numbers for the new HD twins. X1 did far, far better than anyone expected. Guess the real fireworks are in March. If they can't take that with TF, could be a bit grim. Was this a four week or five week period of tracking?

 

[Salvadora]

Those are some really impressive sales for Bravely Default.

Now bring DQ7 over ;_;

 

[TS-08]

Do we know for sure if that 258k MS number is just the One and not the 360 as well?

 

[Kurtofan]

130,000

That sounds good.

 

[Dragonborn]

Xbox One to be #1 in March

Gaf server crash incoming

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.

 

[Piggus]

The big PS4 US number ( > 280K) means sony fucked Europe.

Even if that's true, it's still pretty hard to find here. The thirst is still real, bruh.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Good numbers for PS4 and Xb1, long may it continue

Wii U though

 

[Leezard]

Bravely Default sure did well. I did not expect it to chart.

 

[Spiegel]

Great numbers for Xbox One.

MS/Sony home consoles are doing great. The sky isn't falling and we can continue having a hobby.

 

[Kosma]

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

Great numbers for BD

 

[zroid]

Amazing sales for BD. Super happy.

Bet Square Enix just made the call to start localizing Bravely Second today, haha.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

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.
