You guys are so wrong about Xbox One..... It's easily less than 60%.

The PS4 share in the USA is 36% of total worldwide sales.

So is the Xbox One share closer to 40-45%?

You think Xbox One is at like 15 million worldwide? Because I really doubt that.

When was the 12.5 million figure given? February?

No... I didn't say that.

I said less than 60. Not 50.

Plus tbh I was more replying to the guy who was saying it was 70%+

He once said he wants to shine Phils shoes... WTF?

See: Microsoft's Xbox One deals during the week of Destiny and Arkham Knight.

Yeah I was wondering, since the Destiny launch, if those are accounted for or if they are ignored when NPD presents the numbers.

Japan is a problem since first Xbox. It didn't hurt 360.

Microsoft need to sell better in mainland Europe, PS4 is killing with massive market share outside of UK.

They need to sell better in the US. If they can't get a proper hold of their main audience I don't see why anyone outside of that would care.

japan is disappointing for everybody involved

china is trickier. combination of xbox has no decent japanese titles + acquiescing to chinese gov demands vs ps4's japanese catalogue + finding ways to get around chinese mandated region lock means that it's doubtful china will ever be a meaningful market for xbox.

How come PS4/V aren't region locked?

 

[harSon]

I think at this rate it's better to assume that the US is closer to 70-80% of the Xbox One's install rather than 60%. Where would that other 40% even be coming from?


See: Microsoft's Xbox One deals during the week of Destiny and Arkham Knight.

They've done it in a very round about way. I'm talking Microsoft working with Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc. and doing a simultaneous promotion where you purchase an XB1 and get your choice of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Halo 5 or Star Wars Battlefront for free - and having that advertised in all of their ads.

How do I put this nicely...?

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

Would be nice to know if he can

 

[donny2112]

how did you get your numbers, I did a calculation and it lines up with Welfare's (and ZhugeEX's)

Redid them using the numbers used for prediction results last year and get 125K for 3DS, so we can use that and 55K (like multiples of 5K for non-specific results; e.g. "> 40%") for WIU, unless we get something else in the thread.

 

[DangerMouse]

Crazy great month for Batman.

Splatoon continuing to do well too.

 

[Ottoni_Bastos]

Do we have any estimation for Arkham bundle?

 

[jman2050]

Holy crap Splatoon

And that's a new IP off and running

 

[Shiggy]

There's stuffs like Plants Vs Zombie 2 I think that worked as a tps full of colors and everything.
I guess it's easier to get fundings for gritty shooter than with games with broad appeal...

I actually think it's a game that could've been successful on a Nintendo console.

I think Devil's Third has more to do with the game being bad and a for sure bomb. Also, third parties would have no problem making family games if the sales are there.

Nintendo had no trouble with publishing bad games in the past.

[vinnygambini]

I'm a bit surprised by Jurassic World Lego's performance.

It's Wii U sku is lower than I would of anticipated judging by platform rankings, or maybe the initial rush for the game is of an older audience that are on those platforms.

I'm pretty sure Sony could sue if they specifically mentioned them in a deal, which is why they have to say any free game.

Yeah I was wondering, since the Destiny launch, if those are accounted for or if they are ignored when NPD presents the numbers.

Those are counted on NPDs because cashiers have to ring them up.

OK

I have to ask who the fuck is this guy on twitter he "claims" to have "taken down" neogaf but the site is still up and running. And he seems to think he works for Microsoft's XB division when in real life his actual job isn't corporate.

It's just confusing to see dude pop up in my timeline pushing this narrative that himself Greenberg and Phil Spencer are close. I'm not sure if it's sad or weird or a little bit of both.

Trying to understand this post. If your saying since the PS4 is at about 8.1 million sold in the U.S. and that is 36% of its Worldwide sales, thus WW LTD = 22.5 million sold through then that don't sound right imo. WW numbers sound low.

 

[Lion Heart]

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.

You're right, but looking at it logically, the HD marketshare last gen was about 75 million, roughly. 360 was about 50 mil vs 25 mil from Sony. If this gen continues, it will be about 40-35 million in favour of the PS4. Thats a massive shift, all things being equal if you were to adjust total sales last gen, you'd get 95 million PS3s and 65 million 360s.

Now consider the even greater disparity worldwide and you realize why MS must dominate the US to be even close.

Stores can have deals, but they can't advertise it through TV/Print without legal ramifications.

Nintendo had no trouble with publishing bad games in the past.

Other bad games they have put out had higher sales potential and based on what we've heard this would be one of the worst games Nintendo has ever released.

Gotdatmoney
I'd be talking out of my ass if I tried to imply I knew the usual Americas splits. Canada is roughly 10~15% American sales from what I heard and digital is about 10% of physical on Average in America. It's probably safe to guess US is 70-85% today sales in the Americas. But really, the is not way the game did 270k in the US for June. Like zero possbility. I think 150-175k physical is more likely.

post2689

Hmm looks like it did! Actually, more than 270.

 

[Welfare]

Xbox One outsold the Xbox 360 by 99k at the same point of time (June 2015 vs June 2007)

They are selling very well. Even if sell better taking the lead, they need to stop to lose so badly in other markets.

 

[Jigolo]

Well deserved sales for Batman. Game is phenomenal.

Curious to see how much did PS4 exactly, cause Xbone sold well too so i guess the gap was little, by the way i'm glad to see both console are selling well and better than last year, we need this to keep it going

 

[Mr Moose]

What lol.

I actually have often wondered if he's not being paid to be so effusively fawning. I've never seen anything like it. I love my PS4 and Vita, I use em everyday. But I don't wanna give Shuhei a back massage.

Kills me no one is talking about Lego Jurassic World in this thread. Splatoon is nice and all, but there's actually dinosaurs on the NPD!

Lol jaw, never change

For every PS4 fanboy that says "Greatness Awaits" unironically or posts a Bloodborne Metacritic score, an XBox fanboy is required to tell Phil he's a class act. Seriously, go through Phil's tweets and see how many times the word "class" appears in some form in the replies. It's fucking gross.

I have come a long way. 100k tweets of pure fanboyism, console war, and sheer craziness. Will always love Xbox, but time to stop the war. Gaming needs Peace

He actually used to be on GAF for a brief time, but he was banned for being a huge troll and a confrontational ass. He's been butthurt about it ever since, that's why he has a vendetta against GAF.

Phil is a pretty likeable guy though, you have to really be looking for things or have an axe to grind to not see that.

The fat guy is Tim, which is even sadder. Until I saw his E3 pics, I thought he was a zealous 16 year old based on his tweets.
