So the Nintendo sales are all being lumped together? As in the Nintendo Family?

N3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, 3DS are all basically all variations of the same console.

 

[djblackice]

Sony killing it in Hardware.

Also surprised to see The Order get in when something universally praised like Sunset Overdrive could not chart.

Pretty much (albeit minus the fact that it had a limited bundle as well).

 

[marc^o^]

Wii U keeps growing at its low pace.

New 3DS sales number is almost as good as the system itself. I'm obsesed with this platform right now, good to know it did well.

 

[kuroneko0509]

3.5 million amiibo in US... damn

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Have you heard? No one cares about quality of the game nowadays.

Quality according to who?

 

[Derpyduck]

Has the 3DS evolved so far that it's no longer considered to be hardware?

 

[darkside31337]

Does NPD actually combine 3DS + N3DS sales? PS4 could be at 350k or whatever and still be the #1 platform that way. And Nintendo can (obviously) claim otherwise.

 

[bananafactory]

In January - March the Wii U sold around 200k. I think around 100k sold in February last year, so a 20% increase for Jan-Feb 2015 is something like 180,000 units.

180k for the WiiU? That's actually a phenomenal number.

 

[Cess007]

Man, seeing Majora's Mask at the top warms my heart :')

 

[mrhej]

I wonder how many more 3ds's they could have sold if the supply wasn't terrible.

 

[SolidJum5]

So 3DS>PS4 or PS4>3DS? Because the reports are contradicting themselves.

you know what? I looked back and i'm confused as well. :-/
I hope we get clarity soon.

 

[Mpl90]

The solution is simple, guys: Sony is not including handhelds in their PR.

 

[KingSnake]

So 3DS>PS4 or PS4>3DS? Because the reports are contradicting themselves.

Sony doesn't know what a handheld is. PS4 is the best selling console. 3ds is the best selling gaming device.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Quality according to who?

I don't know.

Games journalist, people who play video games...

 

[fade_]

Seems like Order 1886 under performed I wonder if the game will even reach 1 million world wide

Charting is still impressive. Don't think Dragon Age Inquisition was able to chart and its on multiple platforms.

 

[Mrbob]

Amiibos win again. A new cash cow for Nintendo.

 

[Nanashrew]

I'm hoping Nintendo is taking something from this because Majora's Mask was so under-appreciated for its time. I'm hoping that one of the things they learn is that people can be accepting of new formulas and ideas. I would love to see Zelda have a great deal of NPC interaction that are actually meaningful to the story like in MM. Also the improved Bomber's Notebook is brilliant for giving you some guidance without handholding or giving information away and would be nice to see in more games.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Maybe PS4 and 3ds were tied.

 

[kuroneko0509]

The solution is simple, guys: Sony is not including handhelds in their PR.

lmao

February is a dry month isnt it? Compare to holiday months.

 

[NateDrake]

Of course they do. The DSi was counted as the DS in NPD reports. Why would the N3DSXL not be considered a 3DS model?

 

[EL CUCO]

Sony might as well get March's NPD PR out of the way now. It's going to be a Blood

Not surprised at all. Sunset Overdrive came out at the worst time of the year for a new game to be successful in. The Order launched at a time when it should have cleaned up. The fact that it didn't is very telling.

 

[Oichi]

Monster Hunter

 

[Tubie]

Now the anxious wait for cream & sugar to post a pie chart begins.

 

[Darksol]

Best February ever for Microsoft:

Lol, no. Best February ever for Xbox One.

Why? Seemed informative to me. Didn't know they sold that much more last month compared to Jan.

I'm talking about the useless metrics after the assertion regarding the jump in sales. Seems I'm not the only with that opinion either.

 

[phanphare]

For crying out loud...

probably means combined 3DS sales > PS4 sales > New Nintendo 3DS XL sales

 

[Oregano]

Damn at Monster Hunter! I have a feeling it will hit one million in the west considering how its relatively more popular in Europe.

Kudos Capcom(& Nintendo) for their efforts.

 

[Guevara]

Xbox PR is like

 

[red720]

Sales are up 84% from last year. Calculate that with the number from last year and you have the number.

I read it as up 84% from last month (January 2015) not February 2014.

EDIT: Woah, this thread moves fast

 

[Peru]

Monster Hunter!

I've been dreaming (well not literally) of seeing it on the top 10 of NPD.. if only it could get to the top 10 of NPD... and it did! Combined with European performance we can now say it's firmly established in the west.

 

[Producer]

damn MH4U hit the top 10 NPD? we made it

 

[Welfare]

In January - March the Wii U sold around 200k. I think around 100k sold in February last year, so a 20% increase for Jan-Feb 2015 is something like 180,000 units.

No.

131,000 in January+February 2014 x 1.2 = 157000

157k - 63k in January 2015 = 94k

 

[Savantcore]

180k for the WiiU? That's actually a phenomenal number.

That's based off numbers from Wiki and a whole lot of guesswork, mind.

No.

131,000 in January+February 2014 x 1.2 = 157000

157k - 63k in January 2015 = 94k

See I thought sales for Jan 2014 were higher than that. Also, the PR says 'so far in 2015', so my 180k is for Jan + Feb.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

didn't even realize npd was today with all the bloodborne hype. that should move a few units in march, too.

 

[sense]

The solution is simple, guys: Sony is not including handhelds in their PR.

Or Nintendo is counting both 3ds and n3ds together and Sony looks at them as separate hardware

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

There is no chance of Zelda U being delayed. It WILL come out this holiday season

 

[The Artisan]

Monster Hunter

lol drake

but anyways, I'm interested to know what the Ps4's hardware numbers were as well. although, 3ds was highest selling last month?

 

[Mpl90]

Monster Hunter

I'm happy to see you happy!

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Xenoverse doing good!

I know right?

Deserves it.

 

[BassForever]

Charting is still impressive. Don't think Dragon Age Inquisition was able to chart and its on multiple platforms.

It also came out in November the busiest game month of the year

Seriously here was Novembe NPD 2014 Top 10

1.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, XBO, PS4, PS3, PC)
2.) Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
3.) Super Smash Bros. (NWU, 3DS)
4.) Madden NFL 15 (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)
5.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)
6.) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS)
7.) Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
8.) Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS)
9.) NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)
10.) Halo: The Master Chief Collection (XBO)

Please tell me how DA:I or Sunset Overdrive were suppose to crack into that? The Order wouldn't have charted here either.

 

[dakun]

Also surprised to see The Order get in when something universally praised like Sunset Overdrive could not chart.

to be fair the bar of entry for SO to chart was higher since it was way busier with many high profile games

There's no way The Order would've charted in the Top 10 in October with the same amount of sales

 

[Diprosalic]

very happy for Best Zelda

 

[Gonzo The Great]

180k for the WiiU? That's actually a phenomenal number.

Wii U sold 82.5k last February, which would put it at 99k this month. Far better than I was expecting, but still horrible.

 

[erpg]

Hope Ready at Dawn didn't bet the studio on this one.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Xbox PR is like

lmfao

 

[Gbpackers31]

In January - March the Wii U sold around 200k. I think around 100k sold in February last year, so a (more than) 20% increase for Jan-Feb 2015 is something like 180-200,000 units.

Why are you using March numbers? Wii U also didn't sell 100k last February.

 

[plasmawave]

PS44. I have been under a rock this whole time.

 

[SolidJum5]

Charting is still impressive. Don't think Dragon Age Inquisition was able to chart and its on multiple platforms.

Really? I thought Dragon Age did. Sorry for my ignorance, but this surprised me.
