I guess Zelda and MH should be listed as multi-platform games, since apparently different 3DS models count as separate platforms according to some people.

 

[mclem]

Sony killing it in Hardware.

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

I assume the release month was a factor in each instance, there.

 

[Azalean]

Got a N3DS, MM and MH4 last month so I did my part for Nintendo.

Great to see the 3DS do that well.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

What is the difference between the 3DS and the N3DS? Aren't they basically the same thing with some hardware revisions? Kinda like the PS slim models. Or are we talking about a GB to GBA kind of upgrade?

 

[Mpl90]

I'm just going to attribute this 3DS family thing to salt, because there's no other reason for that reaction by some people in this thread.

We should get another sodium warning here, like in the PS4 thread.

 

[vinnygambini]

PS4 is also #1 in software sales. Not sure what the OP is getting at (unless software was only for home consoles like hardware in Sony's PR).

Counting all 3DS models together makes sense though.

3DS #1 in hardware sales

Majora's Mask #1 in software sales

What's hard to get.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

So PS4 is #1,

How can Nintendo claim the number 1 spot while combining 2 completely different SKU?

Lmfao.

You need to think that through again bruh.

 

[Silent Chief]

From Nintendo's official PR

3.5 million figures, respectively, an attach rate of nearly 2.5 amiibo figures per game unit sold.

Looks like the Amiibo sales are finally dropping.

I don't mind people buying them, but I like to see games in the amazon bestseller lists.

Game boy to game boy color upgrade. Same system with hardware tweaks and revisions.

I guess I can play xenoblade 3d on 3ds then

 

[phanphare]

"3DS family" makes more sense than "PlayStation family" at least, since the 3DS family just means every model of the same system.

EDIT: Was a teaser for 007: Spectre release or something?

that looks like a QoS teaser

I have no idea though but I'd like to think that if a teaser for the next movie were out I'd have seen it..

 

[AstuteClass]

???

Nintendo lumped together all 3DS models (regardless of HW differences because... why not?), the N3DS alone did not take the top spot by itsef... and even if it did it wouldn't be much of a shock as its quite common that when HW revisions debut they do great numbers, i see no reason for Kaz to be upset at all.

Huh?! That's Kaz nodding like "Oh yeah, baby... you like it don't you?" in victory. He's not upset in that GIF! lol

 

[Neff]

Wow, #1 for a remake. Damn.

A 15 year old generation 5 game as well...

I know it's always been a fan favourite, but it still boggles the mind.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

3DS #1 in hardware sales

Majora's Mask #1 in software sales

What's hard to get.

that they are not #1 in software sales? You did right SW in the OP, not #1 SKU.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Haven't had a good laugh at PR like that MS one for a while.

 

[Papercuts]

Great to see Majora top the chart.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Welp, social media had a good run

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

How so?

Guys i was joking lol.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

So PS4 is #1,

How can Nintendo claim the number 1 spot while combining 2 completely different SKU?

Lmfao.

It's okay man, deep breathes.

Makes sense

Unless of course you think when a PS4 slim comes out that Sony should seperate them.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I'd imagine Sunset Overdrive would have charted if it released this month

Or if it was on that PSquad yo '-)

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...

What do you mean, Nintendo is the big winner this month.

 

[mikey1123]

RIP to the Wii U. You were the red headed step child this gen.

 

[Emedan]

Sony PR doing some damage control before the holiday drought.

Dude, ffs!


I'm surprised the Xbox One sells at all. The Order numbers aren't terrible for what it is.

 

[Eolz]

Sounds like MonHun will stay on Nintendo consoles :^)

 

[RM8]

I guess I can play xenoblade 3d on 3ds then

One game that is not out makes N3DS Nintendo's next gen system? Lol, okay. I guess DSi had its own generation too going by that logic.

 

[Mpl90]

Looks like the Amiibo sales are finally dropping.

I don't mind people buying them, but I like to see games in the amazon bestseller lists.

It added between 800k to 1 million in January and February, how is that dropping sales.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

Incredibly happy to see Xenoverse and Monster Hunter doing well. MH especially has deserved it's due for a long time now.

 

[Guevara]

Welp, social media had a good run

lol

1. Nintendo
2. Sony
3. Microsoft
4. Social Media

good luck next month, social media.

 

[Derpyduck]

I guess I can play xenoblade 3d on 3ds then

I couldn't play Kinect games on my non-Kinect 360 SKU, but MS continued to count them as one in NPDs. Same as Sony with their Move bundles. People need to stop embarrassing themselves by claiming there's different 3DSs.

 

[EmptySpace]

A 15 year old generation 5 game as well...

I know it's always been a fan favourite, but it still boggles the mind.

why?

it finally got the sales it deserved.

and i heard they fixed some annoying things from the original version.

 

[Jomjom]

Sony PR doing some damage control before the holiday drought.

Damn Sony starts REALLY early on their damage control.

Who knows, Sony PR could actually be doing damage control for 2016 already because outside of Uncharted what is there?

 

[WordsintheWater]

I'm so confused so did the PS4 sell more then the New3DS, but less then every 3DS sold in February? Is that why they say they topped hardware sales or is it because they are just talking about consoles?

 

[Filthy Casual]

best ever february out of 2 februaries of xbone in the market? did i read that right?

 

[phanphare]

So PS4 is #1,

How can Nintendo claim the number 1 spot while combining 2 completely different SKU?

Lmfao.

I'm assuming that if and when Sony releases a PS4 revision they will group the sales together, no?

 

[stryke]

What is the difference between the 3DS and the N3DS? Aren't they basically the same thing with some hardware revisions? Kinda like the PS slim models. Or are we talking about a GB to GBA kind of upgrade?

PS slim revision don't boost hardware specs (except PSP).

But the library shared between 3DS and N3DS is like 99% the same that it hardly matters.

 

[Overside]

Haven't had a good laugh at PR like that MS one for a while.

Holy crap.

 

[AstuteClass]

I think you mean

 

[Ty4on]

A bit of revisionist history there. Sunset Overdrive wasn't universally praised, among critics or among players. For instance, and to be topical, it didn't win a single BAFTA earlier this evening, and I don't believe it won a Game of the Year award from a single major publication, and only a scant few nominations.

Anyway, February is often a slow month, and no more so than this year. Regardless, it's great to see console sales pick up over the previous year, especially for Microsoft, with a significant percentage boost. Overall, though, the sales numbers are packed pretty close together among all the manufacturers.

The XB1 sold a little over 250k last February so the increase isn't much YoY.
Titanfall was released in March though and may have contributed.

 

[medze]

I'm so confused so did the PS4 sell more then the New3DS, but less then every 3DS sold in February? Is that why they say they topped hardware sales or is it because they are just talking about consoles?

Yup, PS4 > N3DS > All other 3DS. Not enough info to know if XB1 did less or more than N3DS

 

[CozMick]

I'm assuming that if and when Sony releases a PS4 revision they will group the sales together, no?

Not if its more powerful and includes games that can't be played on the previous sku.

 

[kiguel182]

When I read the title I thought the Wii U was the one topping the charts. Got really confused for a moment.

But yeah, I think those are all some solid numbers so congrats to everyone.

 

[Gator86]

From Nintendo's official PR

3.5 million figures, respectively, an attach rate of nearly 2.5 amiibo figures per game unit sold.

Mein gott

I'd love to know more about these sales. In my head, I can't picture regular people buying these. I assume it's just a subset of hardcore Nintendo whales buying every single one released.

On Nintendo's end, it's the same money either way. But overall, it makes a difference whether Nintendo has something that's universally popular or they just found a more effective way to siphon cash from their fanboys.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

February was just a crazy month, can't say more than that.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Haven't had a good laugh at PR like that MS one for a while.

amazing

 

[Kosma]

Order is like 300k?

seems ok for a new ip in feb

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I'm assuming that if and when Sony releases a PS4 revision they will group the sales together, no?

Well yeah, but when they do that it will actually fit their narrative, so it only counts for real when they do it.

Not if its more powerful and includes games that can't be played on the previous sku.

The DS/DSL/DSi were grouped together as well--the software library is exactly the same, barring one game.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Yup, PS4 > N3DS > All other 3DS. Not enough info to know if XB1 did less or more than N3DS

Okay makes more sense now reading the press releases, thanks

 

[Derpyduck]

Not if its more powerful and includes games that can't be played on the previous sku.

Why wouldn't they? They've already done it in the past.

 

[N.Domixis]

LMAO this is amazing LOL

_

 

[Melchiah]

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

+290k for The Order in a week doesn't sound bad, and it's only for retail. Why exactly are the digital sales included in MH's figures, but not in others? Seems odd to do an exception with one title. EDIT: With the 3DS titles.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Sounds like MonHun will stay on Nintendo consoles :^)

I hope not, I just took a survey telling Capcom I won't be playing MH4 unless it comes to more platforms.

It's lies, but I would like to see a graphically impressive MH game for once.
