No, unfortunately that's not the case. Wii U will have a very long road ahead of it. But maybe there will be some hope that it can find a place as a good complementary console; a nice contrast from the PC/PS4/X1.
I don't think so. Rest of the world (minus US) will be 2:1 at the very least.
I think we can just go ahead and say that every month this year has been or will be interesting

I debated adding that as an addendum.What about the DS? It sold more than the PS2 did in the US
But I figured might as well leave some low hanging fruit out there for grabbing by the inclined.
Wii: HEY, HEY-HEY! VITA-KUN!
I do hope I can get a 2K for cheap sometime.
Vita-kun doesn't look very interested in Wii-chan, even though she is so kawaii and wants his attention desu~

What does that even mean? Do you know what even happened to the Titanic?
Referring to the movie.

The problem is that I do not think investors are going to want to let the xbox division to burn money for a price cut right now. They really don't have unlimited cash to use.

Surprised the PS4 outsold the XBox One during it's relaunch month.
Impressed how Minecraft continues to sell.
Amazed that site hasn't been taken down yet.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Please explain to me why companies have to tell the public (and more importantly, their competition)outside of investor meetings how their business is doing every single month
Especially during an industry transitional periods where new strategies are being attempted and innovation, success, and failure are all in flux

The movie. It had great legs at the box office and set a bunch of records.

It was an interesting choice for a platform that wasn't exactly hurting for platformers.

The one consolation we have here is that the PSV was basically unavailable. So even if people wanted them, they were fairly impossible to find in stores. Of course, that just speaks to how little SCEA cares about the device. If they don't do a holiday Minecraft bundle, they will officially show just how little they care.
It's had to be horrifying for Nintendo to see these numbers after the crazy sales of DKCR.

DKCTF is a modern day gaming travesty sales wise as its GOTY so far and one of the top 5 greatest side scrolling platformers of all time.

I imagine it strongly depends on Sony's return policy and the like but yes serious times ahead for the little guy
You know me too well lol
i can't wait for retro's new mario vs. donkey kong games.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
PS4 did good. XBO did... decent. That's basicly that in terms of winning NPD for a forseeable future if they don't do a price cut. People saying that XBO will win November due to Halo isn't taking into consideration that PS4 is selling more 3rd party software. Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Evolve and Grand Theft Auto V will all help push the PS4 far more than Halo can push XBO. NPD just got very predictable for everyone except a hardcore few who believe in prophecies.

We knew it was 1.8-9 million though, hardly surprising or something to clap about
They have barely been giving it space to begin with, it won't get any better

Titanic is the high-grossing film of all time. It had the longest legs you can imagine. Put your critical thinking hats on, gaf!
Just more proof that Retro should have worked on something else. Yes, I'm still mad.

How dare you good sir!
I love grabbing everybodies low-hanging fruit
Star Fox Advenures 2?
To be fair business wise in a bubble a sequel to DKR ( that sold very well on Wii) made sense. However out of the bubble it made no sense with so many platformers already on the system.

Must be why they are bruised and mushy.

Apparently a new upstart gaming website has been leaking real NPD data for like 4 months and we just found out about it today
So many posters are lamenting the Vita selling 15k in NPD June, but I assure you, there weren't any in the retail channels to sell. Amazon, Gamestop, and Best Buy had no PCH-2000 available all throughout June.
I really hope this is something that changes, and soon, because there's renewed interest in the Vita, if only as a Playstation 4 accessory.

Tomodachi Life selling that much makes me happy. I was done with it after two or three weeks, but I enjoyed the hell out of it while it lasted. Fun little time-waster. I hope the next title is a little bit meatier, but I'm already sold.
Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time.

I bet if Sony relaunched the Vita as an accessory to keep the PS4 leveled, it would sell better.

Agree 100%. Movie and DVD sales are announce publicly.

Not that keeping it secret really matters at this point

Because they may or may not be relevant to certain consumers. And charging people interested who may want to invest in these products or companies is unfair because of how expensive it is to actually obtain data. It's the same reason why box office numbers are given weekly and why media create gives out data weekly.

Also, holy shit at Minecraft. It keeps selling and selling and selling and selling and selling. Great game.

To summarize this thread so far: Microsoft needs compelling exclusive content and fast. Nintendo turned in a decent month and everyone hopes that isn't a one month thing. Sony is doing well but they need to do more to save us from the evil MMO/MOBA/smartphone gaming apocalypse.
I hope I didn't miss anything.

It's just so cute.
Yeah, which is why I said NA. The person I was replying to said NA too.
I hope Wii U holds up but I can't really see it staying above 100k. I guess there will be some post-E3 buyers getting it out of excitement for the future, but Wii Sports Club isn't going to move any consoles by itself. August will be another dead zone. We probably won't see it pick back up again until Hyrule Warriors and even that probably won't be a huge bump...
