"3DS Family"
"Xbox Family" or was it "Brand"?

Has Sony done this yet?

During the PS3 days they sure as hell did.

MS is just illustrating how the x1's sales is growing yoy. Congrats, MS.

Yeah, I understood it afterwards. Just had it read it twice. They still did good!

 

[BassForever]

3DS doesn't seem that unhealthy to be honest.

In an era of smart phones and tablets the 3ds family doing 395k is really damn good. One could argue the N3DSXL may not be doing that well but the 3DS as a whole is doing very well all things considered.

 

[chadskin]

7-10K diff

Spoiler

I have no idea

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Microsoft presents: PR Spin Doctors 2015 reunion tour. The minds that brought you "Two Princes" are back!

that was my jam in the 90s.

 

[SolidJum5]

but so were the spending habits of consumers. jan/feb always have lower sales in any retail sector because people don't spend money that early during the year.

smh at how people try so hard to downplay the order.
#9 is apparently a bomb. not to mention, the new ip in a single platform "should" outsell multiplats. not even funny how pathetic some of these posts are. it could move up two or three spots and it'll still be a flop tohl these people.

yep. I hope this doesn't turn into a shit on The Order thread.



On topic, I still need to buy Majora's mask. -___-

3DS Family > PS4 sales according to Geoff Keighley.

The phrase "3DS family" makes me think NPD didn't actually combine 3DS + N3DS for whatever reason.

 

[Kacho]

Damn, really impressive turn out for Zelda. Especially since its a single SKU on a handheld.

No shocker seeing The Order so low. Gonna be a long while before it reaches Pachter's prediction. lol

SCEA invented it during the PS3 days.

 

[NoSkillz187]

It's crazy to see a Dragonball game doing great. I love it!

 

[Melchiah]

Good to see The Order in the top 10. (EDIT: Especially for only week's sales) Didn't Dying Light have a promotional deal with the XB1? If so, it's interesting to see the PS4 version topping the sales.

 

[Stet]

"3DS family" ha ha ha ha

 

[Bgamer90]

Good month for PS4, Xbox One and 3DS.

Yep. My predictions were off by a lot.

_________

"3DS family" ha ha ha ha

???

It's been that way for years now.

 

[Conduit]

LOL! Nice one!

 

[cool_dude]

Haha The Order, weak debut.

Sony started it with the "Playstation family" when the PS3 was selling like shit.

 

[ILoveBish]

Yawn, same old same old: Sony wins, hilarious spin from MS, Nintendo being Nintendo.

Going be a long, boring wait until E3 shakes things up...

There will be no shake up. This gen is done and written. Expecting anything to change is foolish.

 

[SolidJum5]

LMAOOOOO. My sides.

 

[mikey1123]

Congrats to Sony for continuing their hardware dominance and the Order charting. At this rate I expect to see a $250 Xbone bundle this black Friday.

 

[RELIGHT]

Hmm

 

[funkystudent]

Cool to see MonHon slowly becoming a thing in the US.

Happy the Order didnt peform. That game is insulting.

Back to the status quo with PS4/XB1 I guess. Unlit MS drops to 299 in the near future. It must suck to be a early adopter for the XB1

 

[Jomjom]

“Xbox One’s fan base continues to grow with record February sales in the U.S. for Xbox One and 84 percent more consoles sold compared to January 2015."

Um... are we sure it's 276k for Xbox One?

The way they worded that is a bit weird. Couldn't the bolded part also refer to Xbox One + 360? I don't think MS would group in Xbone and 360 together though right?

Sony has used Playstation family and Playstation brand before, yeah. I remember that in the early days of the PS3 in particular.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm glad to see Majora's Mask getting the love it deserved, really a good move from Nintendo to have remade it.

 

[GobFather]

LMAO this is amazing LOL

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Can't wait for the PR statistics: 800 billion bullets were fired in Halo 5 dunce it's launch.

 

[slash000]

Calling it "3DS" family isn't nearly as bad as something like "Playstation family" because all iterations of the 3DS play the same set of games (until one of the few exceptions of the New-3DS exclusives comes out), but even then by and large they're all various ways of playing the same library of games.

The "Playstation Family" was egregious because it lumped 2 generations of consoles together (PS2 and 3) and a handheld (PSP) together when summing it up.

 

[Con_Smith]

Brothas gonna hate but I liked my steak.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Brilliant.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

If we lived in a world where the order was a massive seller and good quality products failed. There would be another gaming crash

So, in other words, if games sold a lot, the gaming industry will crash?
So, The Order = ET?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

3DS Family > PS4 sales according to Geoff Keighley.

Ok, so PS4 is under 395k, but over 276k.

Ughh, feels like we'll never find out PS4 numbers this time.

 

[allan-bh]

Haha The Order, weak debut.

Based on Monster Hunter combined number (290k) less digital sales on eShop, doesn't sound so weak for The Order.

Exactly. Surprised at the reaction to "3DS family".

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

lol at disc eject errors

 

[Raonak]

Nice to see the order actually managed to chart, but still shitty (but not unexpected) performance. Personally, i'd say it's definitely my favorite AAA ps4 game so far.
Probably not for long since Bloodborne is just around the corner.

 

[Mpl90]

I...think Nintendo introduced the "3DS Family" thing after 2DS launch, but I might be wrong.

Dat hyperbole.

Yeah, I don't really get why people are acting like this is new, all previous 3DS numbers were 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS. This is no different

 

[ascii42]

The phrase "3DS family" makes me think NPD didn't actually combine 3DS + N3DS for whatever reason.

If we want to get technical, it is a different system, with (slightly) better hardware.

 

[CaptNink]

Good to see ps4 take the lead on almost all multiplats again congrats sony!

Good to see MS take the lead on 3 out of the 7 multiplats. Congrats to them!

 

[Hattori]

"3DS family" ha ha ha ha

3ds is a single platform though... Should we not count the slim/remodel of systems anymore?

 

[T.O.P]

Really happy to see Dying Light do good, game deserves it

Also MM :3 Congrats ninty!

 

[UberTag]

"3DS Family"

Sony likes to pretend the rest of its family doesn't exist. (Of course, they used to care a lot about their family back when the PS3 launched.)

 

[Nictel]

Now I want Sony to put out bullshit PR speak like Microsoft and the Xbox One but about the PS Vita. Long day at work so I can't think of anything funny. I'm sure one of you all can come up with something.

Well just use the best template:

“PS Vita’s fan base continues to grow with record February sales in the U.S. for Vita and 985 percent more consoles sold compared to January 1999. Up to February 2015, fans spent an average of 74 hours on Vita in the U.S. – three times the amount of hours the average user spends in traffic jams*. And, PS Home set new records, quadrupling global gaming hours in February 2015 compared to July 2009. We are grateful to our fans for choosing to play on Vita. Offerings and experiences will continue to expand with Vita and 'No games' available together for *Allan please add price*, new games launching this month including 'Nothing' and 'that picture of a hayball,' hundreds of new games in development for other platforms, and plans to make gaming even better on Playstation 4.” – Mike Spinners, Corporate Vice President, BS Marketing, Sony

 

[Purest 78]

I think the bigger win for Sony this month is that it also lead in software. I think usually MS beats Sony for software sales.

No they don't

 

[allan-bh]

Evolve not a bomb that people expected.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Congrats to Nintendo.

The new 3DS was my first handheld purchase since the GBA. Majora's Mask is a great system seller.
