What's the minimal you have to sell to be able to chart?
Yup. Oh well. I don't think Titanfall will be as big as I originally thought at this point anyway.
Can't say I feel sorry for them at all.
If it's on par with last year (140k), it would be better than last year, at least, since 140k were reached in 5 weeks, while this year January is a 4-weeks month

3ds had no holiday momentum. A successor should be out by the end of next year

Late Quote but a number of those games are pretty great.
NBA 2K on the next gen systems is pretty fantastic minus the server issues they had after launch.

Told ya guysSo next gen as a whole is sub 500k?
Congratulation Games Industry. There is a slight difference in sales between the Xbox One all-in-one entertainment system and the PS4. The real news story is that everything is bad.
Yes, but for February they would have 1m (until japan-launch) again, if Pachters prediction were right. And I doubt they ship more than 500k at launch.
Well, we'll see. But I'm still a bit "disappointed" by this low shipment.
Are you okay Kev?
Not anytime soon even if it has wiiu like sales because unlike the wiiu ports are possible but ugly I stead of a total pain of n the ass plus ugly.

Introducing Titanfall 2 this winter on PS4 and XB1! But seriously Microsoft wont be in the best position and will need to release some bigger titles a lot more soon.
Maybe. They said ahead of time that beta codes were coming out tonight.
coincidence? NAWWWKaz can finally eat again!
A supply constrained PS4 sold nearly 900k during the Christmas period, if these estimates are correct it would mean that it has sold under 300k in January, that's a fall of 600k or 66% to those who prefer percentages. Supply constraints didn't stop Sony pulling big numbers before why would it suddenly start stopping them now?

How would that compare with other systems in January?
Beta codes are now panic mode?

Titanfall could have legitimately been a huge franchise but at this point it seems people can wait for Destiny.

lol at Microsoft declining to withhold numbers and then Sony saying, " yup we doubled them ".
Has Sony ever announced actual numbers though so far? Besides the big press releases.

January with no software aside from an overpriced rerelease.. Expected to have lower sales. Ps4s still selling out in some locations though.

I thought that was comparable to post holiday Wii numbers.

No if about it. It will fail to sell hardware on the level MS are hoping. It probably won't even shift a modest amount of hardware.

Is he the Microsoft Xbox Europe Boss?
So pretty bad but not absolutely tragic.

The nearly doubled sales thing is juicy for right now but the real fun and fireworks will happen two months from now when the March NPD drops and we see the first real wave of games for these big bad consoles.
I'm genuinely curious if the PC and 360 versions damage sales of the XB1 enough to make MS regret making it multiplat. I doubt it, but I guess we'll find out in a couple months
Even with a pricecut, why would anyone buy the weaker console over the more powerful one?

Better than awful, with a bargain 2DS model and Pokemon out, and the Vita as the only other dedicated handheld competition probably selling like 5 units doesn't inspire confidence in the health of the US handheld market.
It could also be on par with last year's awful if it's around 120K...

They are the WORST company in the US 2 years running.... so no, no need to feel sorry for them.
NPD tracks everything. Full numbers could probably tell us if the PS2 sold any last month.

What did the Wii sell its first January?
Yeah. It's a fucking bloodbath so far. Probably around 500k~ combined between current gen? That's awful, and that's even without taking into account that last gen sales are nowhere near what they would've been around this time in 2007.

OG Xbox - 127K first January
Xbox 360 - 249K first January
Xbox One - approx. 143K first January
At least it's doing better than the original Xbox! That's something...right?
GameCube - 62K
PS2 - 248K
Wii - 436K

3DS less than 143K?
If that not enough to start all Nintendo alarms given eveything going in the industry and other trends, I don't know what can do that.

Kinect will never be removed from the base model. There will be a another SKU without Kinect for $399 this fall.
Which still will fragment the market and make developers less likely to support it.
Wow, both next gen numbers lower than I expected. Since PS4 was still somewhat supply constrained I thought it was still selling gangbusters, but I guess not.
144k will be quite concerning to microsoft I imagine. Will be interesting to see how big a boost they get from Titanfall.
