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

Depends if it's 233% over May 2014 or June 2013.

Last June was 42k, btw http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=71483476&postcount=1108

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

This isn't even fun anymore.

 

[Eolz]

More interesting top than usual.

Nice bit from gamesindustry.biz:

Watch Dogs - which has shipped over 8 million units worldwide - was the clear winner on the software side, once again topping the charts. But considering that Mario Kart 8 is only available for one platform, it's notable that Nintendo's racer managed second place for the second consecutive month.

 

[Percy]

Jesus, Xbox One really can't catch a break. Price cuts didn't help it looks like, and software wise it's behind not only PS4, but 360 for most multiplats? Yeesh... guess it's up to the Halo ports now to save it for the year.

 

[tfur]

Welp

Yes.

Gonna need some updated rainy window pics as well.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

No HW numbers from Sony, MS or Nintendo.

and

More confusing, the data released yesterday by Xbox isn't #NPD, it was internal sales surveys. So we can't even compare "more than doubled"

What ?

 

[Welfare]

So still PS4>XBO>WIU?

 

[ekgrey]

really glad to see Wolf doing well. Machine Games deserve mucho success. also happy MK8 is so high.

are we gonna get any actual hardware numbers? curious to see X1 vs. Wii U in particular.

(sorry for noob question, I'm new to NPD threads. April MS announced actual units sold but then didn't in May so not sure what to expect.)

 

[Aquamarine]

The question is what month is Nintendo measuring from- last month or last June?

Last June.

Yep.

 

[Portugeezer]

Will wait for the price drop to $300.

 

[Phades]

PS4 outselling again is not surprising, you just don't magically turn tide. More interesting is how much the gap has been reduced.

Gap is still widening, just not as fast.

This isn't even fun anymore.

It does loose some of its shine when it doesn't seesaw even a little bit.

 

[DSN2K]

Xbox One wont be catching the PS4, MS have thrown everything besides Halo.

 

[cebri.one]

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

https://twitter.com/iansherr/

WiiU 2nd?????

 

[loaf of bread]

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?

I highly doubt that will happen either. There will be too many Christmas sales and other games coming out in November for MCC to make a dent if you ask me.

The gap cant be reduced if the PS4 sold more in June... unless you mean the gap in May compared to the gap in June?

 

[thefro]

Not surprising, but Mario Kart 8 is the highest selling SKU of the month (when you don't form Voltron out of the Watch Dogs SKUs)

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

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

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Do they usually use "breaking news" or are they just making fun of Microsoft?

Stay classy.

Mario Kart 8 is Top-Selling Game in June, Has Sold More than 885,000 Units in the U.S. in First Five Weeks

After firing out of the gate at the end of May, Mario Kart 8 had an even stronger second lap. The game was the top-selling physical software SKU in the U.S. in June, and sold more than 470,000 physical and digital units.This brings its lifetime total to more than 885,000 units in the U.S. alone. Mario Kart 8 is also driving new momentum for the Wii U platform and its library of great titles, which includes an industry-best 15 games with a Metacritic score of 85 or higher. Sales of hardware and software in June 2014 were up 233 percent and 373 percent, respectively, over June 2013. For the first half of the year, total sales of Wii U hardware and software have increased by 48 percent and 129 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013.

“These results reinforce the power of the Mario Kart franchise and speak to a bright future for the Wii U platform,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “History has shown that Mario Kart games tend to have an extremely long tail. We fully expect Mario Kart 8 to continue to drive momentum for our hardware and software business through the holidays and into the foreseeable future.”

Nintendo 3DS also had a strong month: Hardware sales in June increased by more than 55 percent over sales in May, and Tomodachi Life sold more than 175,000 combined physical and digital units after launching on June 6.

Looking ahead to the rest of 2014, Wii U has a great lineup of upcoming games and amiibo, Nintendo’s foray into the toys-to-life category, that will help Nintendo build on its Mario Kart 8 momentum. Notable titles on the way include: Hyrule Warriors (Sept. 26), Bayonetta 2 (October), Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Holiday) and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Holiday). Likewise, three of the most anticipated games of the year are coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS in 2014: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Oct. 3) and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire (Nov. 21).

Wii U 140k would be pretty crazy. Still low in the grand scheme of things, but hey, they'll take any victory at this point.

 

[KingSnake]

Approximately 300,000 from January through June.

So 444k for H1 2014.

 

[Mpl90]

Ah, yeah

HOLY SHIT @ TOMODACHI

The fact it's 9th probably indicates relatively high digital sales as well.

 

[Zee-Row]

How did the wii u do?

 

[AniHawk]

wii u at 140k then. neat.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Tomodachi life in the top 10 is pretty neat to see.

 

[illmatic22]

Some nice numbers for a title like Tomodachi life.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

Nevermind. I fail at math.

 

[CosmicQueso]

There is still hope for my prediction of 3DS > XBO

Nope.

 

[bigboss370]

PS4 at #1 again, despite the X1 price drop? Impressive.

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.

very impressive.

 

[FDC1]

"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"

What was WiiU result last year?

Edit: I saw the answer

 

[Nirolak]

Last June.

if they used may, then that's about 200k.

if it's june 2013 it's 140k.

All right, adding 140K in.

Anyone have 3DS figured out?

Does this mean the MS spin was even more spun that previously thought?

 

[j_rocca42]

Will wait for the price drop to $300.

I have love/hate relationship with your avatar!

 

[FZZ]

Wii U was still outsold.

Console is still showing signs of life.

And Mario Kart being the top software SKU is a really good sign.

 

[brandonh83]

Lmao, alright man I'm done.
Ps4 @ #1 again. What does MS have to do? I'm starting to feel sad.

Get more exclusives out that helps segregate the console from the PS4, which I imagine people see as the better console to play multiplatform games on due to resolutionFPS-gate.

Once the exclusives start coming it will start doing better. Look at Mario Kart.

 

[TyrantII]

PS4 outsold XB1 again in new SKU month? welp
https://twitter.com/PSNation/statuses/489901056957353985

Seeing as the new SKU wasn't the best value SKU, not surprising.

Price parity only works when people see the same value proposition. With the CW drifting to the PS4 being the multiplat box, MS needs to push exclusive experiences and customer value hard to change the dynamic.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Gap is still widening, just not as fast.

I think he means the gap for the month. MS would gladly take a 60:40 split vs being outsold 2:1.

It really depends on how close they are.

 

[zroid]

Notes:
-Tomodachi Life: 175K (retail + digital)

AWWWW YEAH!

 

[BokehKing]

People just love their 360 so much, they haven't felt the need to upgrade to the Xbox One. I forget who said that..........

But it's true though
The big selling games that Xbox players like (call of duty and Titanfall) look more than good enough on 360
It doesn't warrant a $500 purchase. . destiny is not ground breaking graphics, good chance 360 is the sales leader, huge install base

 

[IAmRandom31]

Could we see a Ps4 / Wii U top 2 next month?

 

[BPoole]

Wow, even with a $100 price drop, MS still can't topple the PS4

 

[phanphare]

Approximately 300,000 from January through June.

so ~450,000 - May/Apr/Feb/Jan?

 

[mo60]

The WiiU may have barely sold over 100K this month if we take the 233% increase into account.When I took the 233% increase into account I got 97.86K.Nevermind Aquamarine is right.

 

[Aquamarine]

Sales of hardware and software in June 2014 were up 233 percent and 373 percent, respectively, over June 2013..

So Wii U is around 140K.

Last June: 42.0K

+ 233% = 140K

 

[Philippo]

My god and PS4 still hasn't got 1st party heavy-hitters, when they'll come it will be blood for everyone else.

 

[AniHawk]

All right, adding 140K in.

Anyone have 3DS figured out?

1.55 * 97k = 150k

 

[Nori Chan]

DAT Wii U.

XB1 will never pass it.

But it already has?

 

[antonz]

139.8K Wii U seems a lock then. That's an impressive boost. Not earth shaking but better than the 40k months it was pulling

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Do they usually use "breaking news" or are they just making fun of Microsoft?

Stay classy.

Seriously?

 

[vinnygambini]

Wii U rise from your grave bitch!

So happy

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Interesting that Ghosts has had better legs than Battlefield, I thought the opposite would be the case given word of mouth.

Kind of surprises Watch Dogs held on that strongly, I thought it would be more front loaded.

Be curious to see how long Mario Kart hangs in the top 10 for.
