Vita was just supply constrained.

 

[Manmademan]

Why was I expecting to see hardware numbers (Wii U) in the NPD?

it takes a while for exact platform leaks to come in, calm your tits.

 

[Gleethor]

Have you played the new Mario?

What does your heart tell you?

 

[Jabba]

Is it possible that top ten really shows that hardcore gamers have company earlier in this generation?

 

[PBY]

I bet you're one of those that celebrated sony software and hardware being shat on media create sales for years. Now its your turn for that cycle

wow lol

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I think we can all agree. Remote play is not helping the Vita...

 

[Salex_]

Gotta say, for a console that:

1) Was apparently $100 too expensive

2) Has yield issues that will affect hardware production

3) Has a camera no one wants

4) Has a broken OS

The One seems to have sold pretty well.

Would you say that if you saw how they dominated in the US last gen? I believe they sold around 16 million more in the US (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Currently, they're losing in the other region they won in, the UK.

 

[Sean*O]

Well, we know it's less than 101k*15 = 1515k because that would be equal to MS's "speed". We also know it's over 1000k because Sony said they did that much in 24 hours.

So 1000k - 1515k.

Do we know that just because MS said so? They also say they are the fastest selling by volume for November.

 

[professor_t]

If ps4 sold 1 million in a day and Xbone sold 900k for the month, how is Xbone the fastest selling console? Also I would love some killzone numbers.

Yeah, I was completely wrong when I criticized people for calling it spin. It's spin. I didn't realize that the PS4 had sold 1 million in 24 hours.

Nevertheless, the Xbox did quite well. It seems like they sold through everything that they were able to put on shelves (real or virtual). I would not at all be surprised if it beats the PS4 in December.

It's kind of disheartening, actually, if you're not impressed with Microsoft's business plan for this console.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Is Stealth credible?

Considering the fact that MS used to dominate US, for Sony to be able to defeat them after MS did the 180 and throwing moneyhats here and there tells me that they fucked up quite royally.

 

[Striek]

Current-gen is almost dead, dying much faster than everyone anticipated, the great 3DS comeback of 2013 hasn't materalised, the Vita and Wii U are irrelevant and have no hope of ever not being, the Xbox One had a very mediocre attach rate; the only positive notes are PS4 and Xbox One hardware sales.

Yay?

 

[Riki]

Vita was just supply constrained.

There was a heat wave in November.

 

[Curufinwe]

No one ever said it would not sell well at launch, and if they did they were delusional. The price factor and camera will come into play after the holidays and we will see then if they are a detriment.

I personally think they will.

I said PS4 and Xbone would be close to 50:50 in the US and that looks pretty likely.

It's outside America where the higher price, unusable TV features and late launch will mean the PS4 will enjoy a large advantage.

lmaooooo


the thread is finally getting good

 

[-MD-]

The One seems to have sold pretty well.

It's launch numbers. The numbers that matter will be the months following.

 

[Yawnier]

Awh shit, this thread is getting good now lol.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

I still keep my bet between 200k and 250k. I cannot see it selling more than that.

 

[nampad]

Vita ;(
Bested again even by the Wii U, what a cruel world we Americans live in.

 

[Magicpaint]

...Wouldn't that mean 2DS isn't counted, then?

...why wouldn't it be?

I think what's particularly telling is no Nintendo PR. No good news to report.

 

[Ethelwulf]

MS's statement is factually incorrect then. To do a valid comparison you would have to also take a 9 day period for the PS4. Even if we assume that the PS4 sold 0 units for the 8 days after launch, they could still say they sold 1 million in those 9 days, which means they still sold "faster" than the Xbox One based on MS's metric of "average sales per day".

If we aren't going to compare with the same period of time, then Sony could also just use their launch day and state, "Over the 1 day period, we sold an average of 1 million units!"

I would do it as you say, yes. Calculate the average on the same period for both consoles (9 days) and then PS4 would be faster no doubt about that. The trick here is that XBO did sell faster 'in november' because it was released later. Its not fair as you said, but thats how they are playing.

Fuck. That's beyond terrible.

Sony needs to get on this. Lower the price or have some value adds in the shape of a 16gb and 3 month plus sub in the box...

SMOKEYDAVE POST IF YOU'RE OK

is there some reason why people are taking this guy, who is banned from gaf for being full of shit, seriously?

 

[Jomjom]

Nintendo's announcement:

"We are glad to announce that the Wii U is the fastest and best-selling console with the letter "U" in it's name, during the month of November."

The fact that Nintendo hasn't made this announcement yet leads me to believe that the Ouya outsold it.

What am I reading

 

[Dr. Malik]

It's more a celebration for Mario getting beat by something everyone thinks is mediocre (at best) while ignoring that Mario itself is stale and generic.

next gen NPD sales threads are great

 

[Neuromancer]

Nintendo employees have already gotten their memos detailing Plan Upsilon: if any journalists or investors ask about the Wii U, just look at them with a confused expression and ask what a "Wii U" is. When they continue to press the issue, tell them that they've gotten a dream or hallucination confused with reality, as Nintendo has never released any such console.

If all else fails, show them newspaper clippings and online articles of the highly successful "Wii 2" sales from 2010; other articles listed on fake sites and papers will convince them that they've entered an alternate timeline via a vortex or are the only person to retain their memories through a time traveler stomped on a butterfly.

Incredible

 

[Manmademan]

Considering the fact that MS used to dominate US, for Sony to be able to defeat them after MS did the 180 and throwing moneyhats here and there tells me that they fucked up quite royally.

yep. MS is EXTREMELY US heavy in their audience as well. a good 50% of all 360s sold were in the US. They tie or take an L in the US for this generation, they may as well pack it up.

[Derrick01]

I'm afraid of what you think of the top 10 then, if Mario is generic.

Don't even get me started on most of them. I could rant all day against AC4 alone and 2k should be sued for how they handled NBA on PS4/XB1.

 

[USC-fan]

The amount of crazy buy 2g1 deals help push PS4 software over PS3 in a lot of games. Thats pretty crazy.... must be a crazy high attached rate.

Sony should thank target and amazon!

bwahaha between this and Derrick this thread is getting good

give me the NUMBERS!!!!!!

Not everyone is like you. I am way to old for this. I enjoy good games regardless of platform.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Consoles aren't dead, handhelds are.

 

[Ryuuga]

The fact that Nintendo hasn't made this announcement yet leads me to believe that the Ouya outsold it.

I think the meeting to discuss their message went something like this:

 

[Ty4on]

I think we can all agree. Remote play is not helping the Vita...

Yeah. We need 60fps remote play!

 

[Pyrokai]

As a Nintendo fan I hope 150k is correct and incorrect...

Man I wish this was the first post, hahaha.

He is. Look how he posted the PS3 chalkboard image in response to the Wii U one. Guy is salty as fuck lol.

Sure you do, sure you do :^)

 

[Takao]

SCEA has kind of ignored Vita this entire year. They didn't do any TV ads, and their Black Friday deal was just $20 off. It's pretty clear that they checked out once they saw December 2012's figures.

 

[Oblivion]

No Wii-U numbers?

 

[cpp_is_king]

250-300k is my bet. I don't see how Vita manages to linger on shelves with crap numbers.

It's the memory card. Sony royally fucked up with that shit, if it had a $20 memory card the shit would fly off the shelves and be reaching 3DS numbers easily.

 

[javac]

Did Tearaway come out this month? Man I'll be upset if it sold badly which is like inevitable.

 

[Nirolak]

Okay with PS4 being top selling and Xbox One being second best selling, the 3DS (including 2DS) at 755-780K fits that perfectly.

 

[Manmademan]

is there some reason why people are taking this guy, who is banned from gaf for being full of shit, seriously?

what was he banned for?

 

[MThanded]

Depressing shit for the wii u. Honestly nintendo get your shit together. Ship is sinking. Fix it now.

lol well isn't that just ..how it was always in the NA? SCEA gives no fucks about vita lol And this comes from someone who enjoys the system.

Wiiu has been outselling it quite easily so not sure why some are acting surprised. Vita numbers will be horrid
