Almost everyone I know (myself included) just got digital upgrades.

Yup the only people who bought physical were people like me who got the CE for the dragon statue.

 

[Mael]

Assuming that EA wouldn't have gone all scorched earth on the Wii U, the Garden Warfare games would probably be a pretty good match for the Wii U audience.

EA on Nintendo hardware, that's a good one!
Just following them on Wii was reason enough to never expect anything more from them.
But yeah it would have been a good match, it's actually surprising there's not more games of this kind on...well pretty much all platforms.
I guess publishers prefer to chase high value customers and bleed them rather than go for a broader market :/
I sound like a broken record, it's been more than 5 years that I feel like I'm saying the same thing.

also good thing for Splatoon, hopefully it becomes an evergreen.

 

[CosmicQueso]

WB with 4 games in the top 10. Dang, a powerhouse is born.

Helps when 3 of those 4 games were delayed from 2014.

 

[ZhugeEX]

So Xbox ~7.4 million in USA?

Assuming USA is 60% of their market,that means Xbox one sold ~12,33 millions WW as june 2015.

is this good?

Don't do this.

You can't just assume a ratio.

 

[Lion Heart]

PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system install base in the USA is now over 8 million.

At the same point in time the PS3 hadn't even reached 5 million.

Playstation doing that work. Huge loss in market share for MS this generation, absolutely damning.

Also impressive is the fact the the Bone is cheaper, more deals, more games being given for free, while Sonys bundles I believe (Arkham Knight) go up in price. Profit differentials are off the chain.

 

[Majestad]

Fuck yeah Splatoon!

 

[MikeE21286]

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.

PS4 is actually probably down YOY

 

[etta]

Xbox One is approaching 7.5 million units in the US. At the same time point the Xbox 360 had exceeded 5.7 million units.

Weren't people saying that the Xbox One is doing worse than the 360 on the same time scale?

 

[allan-bh]

Xbox One despite losing for PS4 has an impressive LTD in US. The problem for Microsoft is Europe.

 

[gtj1092]

stay fresh out there yall



ummmm, no? can you point out some examples because I'm not sure they actually exist. even the most optimistic sales estimates for splatoon have already been surpassed

You were talking about may npd thread right? The first three pages were of people talking about it having amazing sales without any numbers to back them up. Then we discovered it only sold around 135k.

Really because I recall some predicted at least 2 million WW in one if the PAL threads. Can we stop pretending everyone said the game was going to bomb.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Mario Kart over 2 mill in NA


What did it launch at again?

 

[Blanquito]

Bring this point back up in 3 days when the console war zealots are out arguing about resolutions and we can discuss it more intelligently.

Excellent point. I feel like the level of decent conversations in these threads is a bell curve.

 

[Schnauzer]

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.

PS4 is actually probably down YOY

So you think Xbox 360 and PS3 are up?

 

[ZhugeEX]

Weren't people saying that the Xbox One is doing worse than the 360 on the same time scale?

No...?

 

[A_Gorilla]

It was a good statistic to show, and shows that E3 was really good for the Xbox One.

But yeah lets all gang up on him for reasons.

You know whats an even better and relevant statistic?

Actually winning the month.

Xbox One despite losing for PS4 has an impressive LTD in US. The problem for Microsoft is Europe.

And Asia, And Japan. And South America.

...Basically everywhere but the US and maybe the UK.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Splatoon is showing good legs in the US just like in Japan. I wonder how long until the game hits 2 million worldwide.

 

[Kriken]

Any Vita and PSTV numbers?

How do I put this nicely...?

Spoiler

Come back in 2 or 3 hours if Cream is feeling nice

 

[theprodigy]

So what is 3DS/Wii U hardware really at?

 

[allan-bh]

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.

PS4 is actually probably down YOY

PS4 sold 269k last year and sold more than Xbox One this month, so it's up YoY

 

[Toki767]

Because buyers waiting for the PS4 bundle affects the Xbox One's sales.

It means less people buying PS4s which lead to Xbox One selling more that week.

Not sure what's difficult in understanding that.

 

[Primethius]

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.

PS4 is actually probably down YOY

Then X1 would have outsold it.

 

[Blanquito]

No...?

Zhuge, can you graph monthly sales comparison between the two for this year? I'm curious to see the velocity of each

 

[Jims]

290,000 new squids. Nice going, Splatoon.

 

[etta]

No...?

Ah, so they were bs'ing, my bad. Good thing for the One, then.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Splatoon illustrates why NoA wanted to pass out on Devil's Third and why third parties avoid the Wii U. Only games with strong family and kid appeal in combination with a big marketing push seem to find an audience on Wii U. Most third parties don't create such games as they wouldn't sell well on the other platforms.

Devil's Third was being dropped because it was bad and had no hype.

 

[Occam]

Weren't people saying that the Xbox One is doing worse than the 360 on the same time scale?

Fishing for compliments?

 

[e-gamer]

Any PS4 numbers?

 

[Mory Dunz]

So what is 3DS/Wii U hardware really at?

Bad.


But loooook at the software. Except Lego. Not sure what's going on there.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Oh nevermind.

 

[Kayant]

Xbox One despite losing for PS4 has an impressive LTD in US. The problem for Microsoft is Europe.

+ Japan, China

 

[jjonez18]

Really goes to show how much a high quality AAA current gen only game can do for both consoles and publishers alike. 300k+ for both is incredible.

 

[PixalTheCat]

Mario Kart over 2 mill in NA


What did it launch at again?

May 2014

 

[jmaine_ph]

What's the ETA on them pies?

 

[John Bender]

Xbox One despite losing for PS4 has an impressive LTD in US. The problem for Microsoft is Europe.

More like: The problem is "everything not America"

 

[Dyson Industries]

Xbox One is above 7.4m

Where did you get your numbers?

 

[Mr Moose]

Xbox One despite losing for PS4 has an impressive LTD in US. The problem for Microsoft is Europe.

RotW, but yes, it's doing very well in the US. It should be at least somewhat close in the US for some time.

 

[Bgamer90]

Sheeiittt.gif.

Playstation doing that work. Huge loss in market share for MS this generation, absolutely damning.

I believe the XB1 currently has the same percentage of current gen console sales in the US as the 360 did for most of its gen thanks to the huge drop that Nintendo took. That fact also shows that MS could have been even more dominant in the US this gen though (in comparison to 360).

Missed opportunity.

 

[Grakl]

Because buyers waiting for the PS4 bundle affects the Xbox One's sales. So Xbox One sales increased 79% week over week because potential PS4 buyers were waiting, meaning no sales would be made from them? Come on now.

It does affect the Xbone's sales relative to the other consoles, which is what that stat is talking about

 

[Kriken]

So what is 3DS/Wii U hardware really at?

[XB1] 297k
[WIU] 54k
[3DS] 124k


Numbers are estimated.

.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

So Xbox ~7.4 million in USA?

Assuming USA is 60% of their market,that means Xbox one sold ~12,33 millions WW as june 2015.

is this good?

Half of PS4's WW sales doesn't bode well for a platform where most of those sales are from two countries.

 

[Toki767]

+ Japan, China

And the rest of Asia. But at least they have New Zealand locked down.

 

[Mory Dunz]

May 2014

I meant the sales of its launch month

 

[Welfare]

It means less people buying PS4s which lead to Xbox One selling more that week.

Not sure what's difficult in understanding that.

Are people reading the full quote or no?

@aarongreenberg: Good June #NPD #XboxOne sales +51% YOY & proud we were #1 selling console the week of E3 +79% WOW

Less people buying a PS4 would not affect that statistic.

 

[Imperfected]

Weren't people saying that the Xbox One is doing worse than the 360 on the same time scale?

Perhaps in Europe, but never in North America, no.

 

[Guymelef]

Ah, so they were bs'ing, my bad. Good thing for the One, then.

Who?

 

[TheStruggler]

If sony brings out a bundle for COD for NA for the ps4, and since they already have one for mgs v they are going to wreck this holiday

 

[ZhugeEX]

Zhuge, can you graph monthly sales comparison between the two for this year? I'm curious to see the velocity of each

Lets wait for all numbers first

 

[Silent Chief]

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.

PS4 is actually probably down YOY

Or Wii U. That Wii U + 3DS line sounds suspicious.

 

[Sgt. Garlic]

Yay for Splatoon staying in the top 5! Batman at number one of course, no surprise.

 

[MikeE21286]

So you think Xbox 360 and PS3 are up?

No. I guess I'm assuming that PS3 and Xbox 350 YOY is either flat or slightly down. Maybe doesn't hold true. But it says hardware is up 8% YOY. That is dollars IIRC.

Xbox One is up 51% in units. And it probably has had about a $50 avg price reduction from this time last year. Down from $400 to $350. So it dropped 12.5% in avg price while increasing units by 51%.

Guess we need PS3 and Xbox 360 to finish the equation
