[Final Verdict]

While you all decipher Creams new post

Comparing January - May 2014 to January - May 2015

XBO is up 10%

PS4 is down 8%

Wii U is up 6%

Clear winner so far is Xbox.

Kinda weird considering that PS4 has had the software advantage all spring, and X1 has not had a lot of AAA stuff, but I guess that it just proves that price speaks louder than games in most cases....

 

[ethomaz]

No surprise. Its the only console that's been getting price drops.

Not just that...

Xbone Jan-May 2014 was terrible... I guess maybe only Feb and Mar was worth of mention.

 

[Ōkami]

WiiU sales on Media Create from May 4th to May 31st: 42.889

WiiU is selling in the US about as much as its selling in Japan,

Don't see how...sony has stayed steadfast at launch price and is still outselling them, MS had to make a lot of moves sony has not. Sony now has more cards t play.

 

[Mister Megative]

Overall, hardware sales seem pretty disappointing, but it's to be expected I guess. The PS4 drop seems normal but the XB1 drop is quite big. Goes to show how much the Gamestop trade in deal in April helped. I really hope the Batman bundle can significantly boost the PS4 sales in June.


Dat Kinectless SKU and price drop doing the work!

June is gonna see significant PS4 sales. Mark my words.

 

[Welfare]

Oh, welp so many people already quoted it.

 

[theprodigy]

Just a reminder that Wii U sales picked up on Japan after Splatoon released, in its second week, not the first.

Not saying that this is going to happen on North America for this month, but one never knows, I hope they do pick up a little bit.

If Splatoon has word of mouth and legs, and hits the young demographic, its going to show this month and in December.

it went up the first and second week in Japan

 

[wachie]

In terms of units sold, I guess. In terms of profit, PS4 didn't get a price drop while Xbox One did.

In terms of units the PS4 is still the winner.

 

[Obliterator]

60% PS4 on The Witcher 3, which is about 1.5x a 40% Xbox One market share.

Assuming the proportion stays constant relative to market shares outside the US and the 1.3 million number for PC, as well as putting the 15% or so digital split for consoles, we should get to around 2:1 sales.

So, about 1.8 million on PS4 and around 900k on Xbox, total worldwide? Something around there?

Yeah its for sure globally PS4 > PC > XBone

its a joke man

 

[Converse]

But May’s biggest surprise is probably Nintendo’s Wii U exclusive Splatoon [....] it only had two days of sales on this chart. Despite that, it was able to come in at No. 5 overall. This is impressive for a new intellectual property that is not widely available on all systems.

Sorry, Venture Beat, some salty-assed Gaffers said it's not impressive. Try again next time.

I am pressing down on the D-pad to booyah.

 

[Welfare]

Now do the % change in selling price compared to last year ;-)

PS4 and Wii U are as flat as a board.

XBO needed reduction surgery by 30%

 

[allan-bh]

What game is HD?

Oh lol, I find sarcasm hard to see at times online.

Are you serious? Aside from April, the PS4 is gradually returning to the gap it had before November last year.

 

[Chezzymann]

Do y'all think splatoon is at around 500K right now world wide including digital sales? I hope it can get to a million for its lifetime sales.

 

[NateDrake]

What game is HD?

FFX-X2

 

[The Grim Reaper]

What game is HD?

The PS4 debut of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster.

 

[Toki767]

What game is HD?

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for PS4 I think. Since that's what I asked for.

Also it's in the Top 10 individual SKUs.

This should be their press release.

 

[KingSnake]

If you actually bothered to read the entire quote chain rather than cherry picking, you would've realized the real point of contention was Nintendoland (aka an example of a not Mario/Zelda/Smash game, which was sorine's point)>Splatoon, so unless you think Splatoon will sell over 4 million my point still holds.

and HW was because the first post you quoted was clearly about HW sales, hence the thing about Xbox One/Wii U getting major boosts

The point of first link was that you made that comment in the same sarcastic manner that you make most of your comments and that I think you were considering Splatoon at that time something like W101, that why you even use it. But I'm probably wrong and you were really seriously considering Splatoon as a good seller, so I will edit out the first link.

Now you can bother reading the other 2 links too. And I will stop here, because I feel like it's going off-topic.

This gen opened bigger but is slowing faster. PS4 at the least needs a substantial price cut. Honestly $100 if they want to try to continue the great momentum it started with

 

[Boke1879]

June is gonna see significant PS4 sales. Mark my words.

I believe it'll spike them. I'm not sure by how much but we'll see.

I think it'll have a bleed over effect into the months of July and August though with people wanting to jump into current gen.

Welp, pack it up I guess. PS4/X1 are done. Nice run though, boys.

PS4 will also likely double WiiU's LTD by next month.

Xbone closing on PS4 in the US. Sony is being too passive.

How do people come to these conclusions. NPD threads are weird.

Are you going to say the same about June?

 

[KillerSloth]

Thats is how it is supposed to work..had ps3 and 360 launched with much bigger numbered they would have slowed faster too, people need to look at the big picture..By the time ps3 hit 20 Mill WW it had several price reductions and so did 360..

 

[1st Course]

Probably "When you subtract the sales of Project Cars and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, you get a less than a 0.5K sales difference."

Yeah that should about right.

 

[vinnygambini]

Do y'all think splatoon is at around 500K right now including digital sales? I hope it can get to a million for its lifetime sales.

1 million + is a given.

We have 215k in Japan (week 2) + digital sales exceeding at minimum 45k

It should end in late June with 400-450k in Japan.

The rest is up for the remaining territories.

Should be quite manageable.

Hopefully this helps to show people that there is a serious contract going on this generation even if we discount Nintendo entirely.

Looks like handhelds aren't the only fucked market. Proponents can't even 360/PS3 vs PS4/One anymore really, and that'll get even more lopsided as last gen's HD twins were slow burners.

Damn more than 3:1. Wii was such a beast.

 

[Loudninja]

In the UK the PS4 took 63% of the launch W3 sales.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Xbone closing on PS4 in the US.

Why are ppl buying bone over PS4? Is it significantly cheaper to justify any power differences.

 

[TomShoe]

Welp, pack it up I guess. PS4/X1 are done. Nice run though, boys.

GTAIV was released at the same point in time.

 

[maxiell]

Witcher 3 had a digital discount for pre-orders on PS4 since last year. Wonder how much that hurt retail.

I think Microsoft could be pushing Halo more with a second, more open beta. Giving out tons of beta codes would be a cheap way to push hardware. Could even be a single player mission.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Impressed with splatoons sales. Not a system seller though apparently.

The only system seller for the WIi U is Christmas

 

[allan-bh]

So Project Cars did horrible.

What's PD? And DS2RB?

Holy smokes, PS4 version is doing excellent numbers. Wow

 

[10k]

If there was ever s time to drop the price of the Wii U and bundle a game or two, it would be now. Nothing ridiculous like $99 or getting rid of the gamepad. But asking $299 for it when for just $50 you can get an Xbox One is asking too much. $250 for a bundle.

 

[Obliterator]

Sorry, Venture Beat, some salty-assed Gaffers said it's not impressive. Try again next time.

I am pressing down on the D-pad to booyah.

Who really cares what Venture beat has to think about it, the sales were thoroughly okay.

Sales for the entire industry across the board for the month ranged from ok to awful besides The Witcher.

 

[KillerSloth]

Hopefully this helps to show people that there is a serious contract going on this generation even if we discount Nintendo entirely.

How so when they are way ahead of last gen in sales? That makes no sense....Price drops and software will spurn bigger numbers again, had ps3 and 360 sold so well at launch they would also have slowed quicker..

 

[Mory Dunz]

oops
