February 2014 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes March 10th

70k is good now?
man, talk about lowered standards

edit: wait a minute, NPD is only one week as opposed to Media Create/Famitsu's two weeks
oops let me revise that....

Hmm stronger numbers than I think the Wii U can achieve I mean :P

If Wii U broke 100K this month, the NPD thread would be entertaining
 
Can you imagine the meltdowns if Wii U outsold Xbox One this month?

Wii U and Vita made room for a 3rd failure, so each company gets one? :P

Pachter's Predictions:


[360] 45K
[3DS] 105K
[PS3] 50K
[PS4] 225K
[WIU] 47.5K
[XB1] 130K

No need to make a new thread for this, guys. It's just Pachter's personal predictions. Yeah he does a few channel checks and has the full NPD spectrum available to him, but his opinion isn't significantly more valuable than the average GAFfer to the extent that we need a new topic about it.

if anything his predictions are less valuable than the average GAF members' *cough*

Pachter's predictions for PS4 and XB1 were my old predictions I changed a half hour ago

So I'll just leave them where they are now then...
 
Wii U Donkey bump and PS4 shortages seem like the only unpredictable things this month, it's going to be pretty boring.

It's not all that bad! We have:

1) Bravely Default sales (3DS)

2) LEGO Movie Videogame sales (PS4 / XB1 / 3DS / WIU / PS3 / 360 / PSV)

3) Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII sales (PS3 / 360)

4) NASCAR '14 sales (PS3 / 360)

5) Rayman Legends sales (PS4 / XB1)

6) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sales (WIU)

7) Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 sales (PS3 / 360)

8) Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare sales (XB1 / 360)

9) Thief sales (PS4 / XB1 / PS3 / 360 / PC)

10) Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy sales (3DS)

11) Hardware sales

...to look forward to.

Depending on how much Creamsugar wants to give us, of course. ;-)
 
Can I ask this? Does NPD cover world wide sales or US only?

This particular thread is focused on NPD's tracking of USA sales.

The reports we get every month / the reports Nintendo + Sony + Microsoft brag about exclusively refer to USA sales, because success in the USA market is extremely important to the console manufacturers.

However, NPD offers Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand sales data as well, in partnership with GfK.

But those markets are much smaller than the USA one, so they're not nearly as relevant.



If you combine NPD sales + GfK sales + Famitsu sales, you can get a reasonable approximation of worldwide sell-through.
 
Yeah, I've been saying that BD sales could surprise in this NPD, but...really, are there any hints about how last month's major titles performed? Something from retailers / mom&pops / whatever?
