the bigger thing to take away is MS software for XO dropped real bad

 

[KingSnake]

For its part, Nintendo says Mario Kart 8 had "even stronger second lap," the top-selling "physical software SKU" in June #NPD

https://twitter.com/iansherr/status/489901747129688065

So MK8 best selling SKU, outselling WD PS4.

NTDOY also says MK8 is "driving momentum" for the Wii U. Sales of hardware were up 233% in June, software was up 373%. #NPD

Mario Kart, nice. We in there.

 

[curb]

Hasn't this true for the last few months?

Maybe it has. It was just something I noticed what looking at the top 10. Seems weird to me given the marketing deal.

 

[illmatic22]

Through price cuts and death stares the king still holds the throne.

UFC failed. Time for Round 5 EA.

#bringbackfightnight

 

[FkLA]

Grand theft auto V still in the top 10

 

[Bundy]

Watch Dogs on Xbox 360 outsold the XB1 version.

And congrats PS4/SONY

someone calculate the numbers

 

[Raptor]

So even at price parity PS4 is staying ahead.

Well is still the superior console...

 

[Takao]

NOT GOOD!

Down 3% is okay given June 2013 had Animal Crossing: New Leaf and a little game called The Last of Us. June 2014 had ... UFC?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Mario kart 8 hanging in there like a champ.

233% over June 2013 or May 2014?

Best selling single SKU? Oh my.

 

[Welfare]

Yeah Xbox One software seems terrible for price cut month.

 

[sphinx]

PS4 top again, RIP MS

well, they solved the price problem but they will still have the resolution/power wars ahead through the generation.

 

[Mr Swine]

Really nice for Mario Kart 8! But I guess it didn't boost HW so much? :/ also the HW boost xB1 got is only temporarily right! Sales will go down next month?

 

[loaf of bread]

I think it'll remain that way until MS pushes it down to $100 cheaper.

I think PS4 would still outsell it. I don't think price is an issue. Some people seem to think that everyone wants the XB1 but settles for PS4. People want the PS4.

 

[Trey]

That top ten software list is deplorable.

 

[Yawnier]

someone calculate the numbers

yeah somebody pls

 

[Windom Earle]

Well it's over.

Happy for MK!

 

[vcc]

and push for more game exclusives.

Both getting to $100 cheaper and negotiating exclusives are going to be hard. Cost wise it doesn't like the kinectless SKU is much cheaper to make than the PS4 and the install base differential will make exclusives pricey. MS mothercorp would have to open up the purse strings and they seem reluctant this generation.

 

[Aquamarine]

"NTDOY says total sales for 1H of year for Wii U hardware and software increased 48% and 129% respectively, over same period last yr #NPD"

 

[Chobel]

Straight from Sony PR:

PlayStation was #1 in combined home console hardware sales (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3) for the month.

That means PS4 < XBO+360, otherwise Sony would have said that.

 

[GeoramA]

PS4 #1 again. Dunno what else MS can do. The only next shot they have is November.

 

[KingSnake]

Wii U - 142k ???

[3rdamention]

Looks like the PS4 did very well with software sales as well, for next gen systems.

 

[Gorillaz]

So even at price parity PS4 is staying ahead.

Because for the most part people's friends friends of friends have already began persuading peole into getting PS4 with them and their social group. It's going to take awhile for them to be number 1. Maybe during the halo collection release and even then that's pushing it because for most thats a 400 dollar entry for one game(even tho it has legacy maps)


Mario Kart ain't fucking around tho, if it wasn't for Watch Dogs being on literally everything, it probably would have been close as hell

 

[Smellycat]

Very surprised at Tomodachi Life

 

[Dead Prince]

Best selling single SKU? Oh my.

maybe they meant exclusive title to one system only ;P

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

So how flabby and sick is the next gen market looking this month?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

9. Tomodachi Life (3DS)

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

 

[Sendou]

Ian Sherr @iansherr
NTDOY also says 3DS hardware sales jumped more than 55% over sales in May. Tomodachi Life sold more than 175K physical + digital #NPD

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So next time XBO has any chance to come out on top will be when MCC releases? Or rather Halo 5? Is the Halo 5 beta day 1?

 

[RiggyRob]

That top ten software list is deplorable.

Hey, Tomodachi Life's on there. The list is instantly better because of it.

175k+? That's pretty fucking good.

 

[Chezzymann]

So then the wii u sold ~140K if its a 233% increase?

 

[RPGamer92]

Impressed at both PS4 for outselling Xb1 and for MK8 for maintaining #2 best seller.

 

[Bundy]

Amazes me people largely believe the PS4 will be beating out the XB1 still.

Really? It's price-cut month, there is always a boost with price cuts.

Welp, sorry!

Link says Nintendo Hardware up 233%. What would that put Wii U at? Are they talking about being up over June 2013 or May 2014?

Anyone know math in here?

 

[JLeack]

Except there is, because you don't know the numbers.

For instance PS4 40k ahead of XB1 wouldn't be annihilation.

From my point of view I've seen Sony make what at times seems like absolutely no moves. Meanwhile, Microsoft has been making big moves just about every month since launch. Despite this, it simply isn't competing.

 

[phanphare]

someone calculate the numbers

140k-ish?

 

[David___]

So even at price parity PS4 is staying ahead.

Starting to wonder if this is more of the brand itself being damaged from last year instead of the price.

 

[Lynn616]

Welp

The PS3 chalkboard worked because the things on it were being said by a lot of Sony fans. Many things on this chalkboard I have never heard anyone say.

[GhaleonEB]

Straight from Sony PR:

• PlayStation 4 was #1 in sales for the sixth consecutive month and remains the cumulative leader for next generation game consoles.
• PlayStation 4 was #1 for next generation software sales, with PS4 leading two of the top three titles.
• PlayStation was #1 in combined home console hardware sales (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3) for the month.
• The biggest next generation software titles, including Watch_Dogs, UFC and FIFA 14, were #1 on PlayStation 4, further demonstrating that PS4 is the platform of choice for blockbuster games.

The Xbox One is getting annihilated, there's no way around it.

I imagine there is a bit of panic setting in over at Xbox headquarters. Price parity alone is not enough.

 

[KingSnake]

Wow, Wii U at 140k would be so good. Not beating Xbone, but pretty close.

 

[Gorillaz]

Tomodachi Life ranking is a bit surprising but I know Gaf has been talking it up a bit
