Is it weird to consider 85k for Wii U pretty decent?

NPD Sales Results for February 2014 [Up2: PS4/XB1/Wii U/360 Hardware, BD/Poke/DK]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Why? They're comparing the figure to the sales of the Xbox 360 in February 2006. That doesn't really make sense if your underlying context is "Xbox Family" sales.
Very well too 200k.
When was the 360 version of Titanfall announced to be delayed? Maybe people actually are buying 360s for Titanfall?

yeah I thought Hardware was going to take the hit though
Well, if US sales can stay relatively "neck and neck" between Xbox One and PS4, as they're proving to be in this month's NPD, I can fathom Microsoft being able to buy Titanfall 2's exclusivity as well.
He's only an expert on Japanese heatwaves though.

Oh my god Bravely Default I'm so happy
See when you actually release and market these games they sell! DQ9 and FE:A proved that though they had preexisting fan bases, you can't spin BD. It had nothing going for it other than good marketing and publicity.
This could apply for Wii U as well for that matter

Well, there are two factors here.
1. In japan, LR outsold FFX HD on PS3 but FFXHD ended up selling more because Vita sold 120k+ (from media charts). The difference between the two was only around 100k overall.
2. LR received a nice boost here thanks to the 360 version. Can the Vita version in the US market make up for that? I have doubts unfortunately
Yah, it's typically one of the slowest months.

Next month will be scary for Wii U with no big release in sight

Kept saying it; when Titanfall arrives the "war" shifts. March is in Microsoft's pocket. The PR from MS come the March NPD will stink to high heaven of "look how awesome we are".
Doesn't Minecraft on 360 come on a disk, whilst a download card would be under game accessories I believe?

Nice month overall.
March is going to be very, very interesting.

Lol wut?
I honestly don't think anyone can say that with confidence. Xbone gets TF, but PS4 gets Infamous and MGS (which is still really associated with PS). Next NPD is going to be insane that's for sure.
Pretty big comeback from January. Wonder if January was affected by returns from people intending to buy XB1 as a gift and getting 360 instead. :O
:lol

LTD in America:
PS4: ~2.56 million
Wii U: ~2.23 million
Xbone: ~2.22 million
(using Aquamarine's estimates and ~285k for PS4, ~258k for XBO, ~82k for WiiU this month)

Absolutely.
Shitty sign to be honest. Basically means Wii U will be either the uber casual/family/child + first party machine. Sort of like the Wii only scaled back about 90%.
Usually we don't give posts like that attention.
maybe... so far only Amazon seems to have a lot of them and even they run out. Rest of online is sold out right now except for crazy bundles

Xbox one is only around 10K less than Wii U now.
TTM for MS and Sony systems has climbed 100K this month, without even including the PS3, to almost 9.2M; should be over 9.2M with PS3.

But we didn't officially know Wii U LTD sales as of March 2nd. Or did we and I'm missing something?
Yes. Those numbers are terrible.
After these results, if Xbox One doesn't beat PS4 in March, it's pretty much epic fail for Microsoft.
Dont be so sure now, seem Sony increase the supply by a big amount this month.

Most people will buy FFX on PS3 and LR probably just skirted by 200K which is no where near made up by a 360 version 'boost'.

Great jump for the Xbox One! Glad that both of my two next gen consoles can't be pronounced dead yet, unlike a certain next gen console.
Also surprised by how well LR sold.

Wonder how some analysts will spin this to the usual ''consoles are doomed'' direction. That january ''doomed'' thread was great retrospectely. Just shows how you can't analyse anything with one month data.
It is logical that the massive snow front in January would have impacted sales somewhat. Not drastically, but how many people would go out in a massive blizzard with 2 foot of snow to pick up a console?
I forgot about it and thought that last month be the new baseline, but it appears I was mistaken due to this.
