Wow, bravo.
Wii's first January was 436k (although it was a five week month). But at that point it was proper supply constrained, i.e. people still lining up out the door to grab one. I don't think the PS4 has hit that level of demand.
That PS4 number is quite good. It will be interesting to see how it goes for the next 6 months, because I don't think there's any real high profile software coming out (I don't think Infamous has real pull with the wider market).
And while it's way too early to pronounce the Xbone dead, I think we're getting evidence the market is going to go through some contraction this generation.
People will point to the Wii, and it's true a lot of the Wii's audience was new, but it also had a lot of those casual PS2 owners. And it doesn't look like they're coming back.

Am I misreading? I thought this graph measured 'first january' drops, not 'Jan 2014 drops.'

They were talking about software sales.
MS did this to themselves.... Higher price and not giving a fuck about the consumer base... I preferred the 360 last gen as a console. Sony won me and many others over this time around. They seemed connected with what we wanted and spoke directly to us. MS on the other hand did not care and said this is what we are doing and you will like it.

these kind of industry doomed posts probably come from the lot who want android and apple to take over.
fucking disgusting.
if you post how bad the industry is doing based on sales second only to the Wii, you need to have your head checked.

PS2 sold less than that in Jan because of supply problems if i remember right .
Put it on youtube and become famous.

Software sales are heavily front-loaded at launch, so the release date means next to nothing in a launch month. Tomb Raider released on the 28th--maybe it would have hit 8 or 9 on the Top Ten with an earlier date but that's it. It likely sold the majority of its first-month sales in those four days.

ok, I laughed waay too much at this. To be honest, I haven't seen a single Vita on shelves since XMas. I'm assuming retailers were clearing stock for the 2k models... Besides, Sony just won't give up the numbers on anything...

I bet this will be much different next month. Don't forget, Gamestop layaway program. #gamechanger

I know. We just had fuzzy math for the other thread on PS4 sales doubling and I never expect One to be that low so I was thinking PS4 was at least 300k+ still not Wiilike, but very high for a supply constrained console.
Problem is 1 out of 3 is doing solid. The other 2 are in major trouble. This is not good at all for sales to drop off so fast. The pent up demand of a generation being 3 years late should of spurred sales much longer. This is not good I can imagine anyone making a next gen only title reconsidering it now.

I'm looking at January 2007 NPD sales of PS3, 360 and Wii and thinking the Industry is screwed.

Yeah . . . but I bet the WiiU had the smallest drop in terms of number of actual units.

Software prices need to drop more than hardware. Nintendo's first party titles are far too expensive.

Well guess we know the reason why Walmart is giving away a free game with every Xbone.

It's not doom, it's just that it looks like PS4 is the console keeping things going strong. People kinda wanted both to do well, but the PS4 to do way better out of the two. Not for only one to do well, while the other fizzles. It's hard to explain the feeling. I just want MS to bite the damn bullet, drop the price, and move more units.

Weird seeing MS use *Xbox. Reminds me of the PlayStation family. How the mighty have fallen.

It's just a drop in the great blue ocean.
Title should have been 'First Dec-Jan', so Dec '12-Jan '13 NPD for Wii U.

I agree... but it's hard to make that claim with any certainty like 3 months into this thing. It's not like every generation follows the exact same sales pattern.
No. In september when PS3 outsold X360 with GTA V bundle, MS don't release 360 number.

Oh, dear god, the WiiU had the BIGGEST drop? :O
Also, I'm...not particularly enthused about the PS4 barely outselling the PS3, which had worse software support, a much higher price point, and was such a laughingstock that even the Red Ring debacle couldn't stop MS's momentum. That's pretty dramatic shrinkage even when you put aside the Wii entirely. You'd never think we were just coming off the biggest--and longest--generation in history with those kind of numbers.
But man, I never would've expected the Xone to get outsold 2:1 by a supply constrained PS4 in the States. The most I expected was a slight advantage, since I didn't think they could even manage to ship much more than that. Titanfall just became a lot more important.

PS4 is supply constrained. But yeah it dosn't help to the industry that Xbox One and Wii U are not doing very well.

Wii Fit U also launched this month at retail, guys.

Greenburg will be crying himself to sleep tonight. "Why wont they buy our all in one system WHY!"
It was very supply constrained (and still is actually). Stores in my district don't have a single copy of the game and haven't since almost release.

um nope. The ps2 era was completely dominant, same with ps1 and software development was as vibrant and varied as it has ever been in history.

Initially anyway. If sales stay this low I think it's a sign of contraction.
The previous iterations have sold more iirc.
It did? I heard absolutely nothing about it lol

Ah ok so we don't know Wii U sales and drop from December. Still will be large as it always is for all consoles. Jan is a slow month

Well, I don't. I seriously thought their PR statement was a joke post on GAF. If we caen get something like this in the first month of low sales, then I really want to see how creative they can be! :lol
Talk is all great, but without the hardware to back it up, it means shit. If the X1 was more powerful than PS4, 1080p vs 720p and etc., Microsoft would still be in the lead. Once again, if both companies are providing the same experience and services, power does matter big time. Microsoft fucked up this gen.
