NPD Sales Results for March 2014 [Up4: FFX/X-2 HD]

Being completely unable to significantly grow the console's fortunes with an entire year worth of software added to its library is pretty damning.

Wii U is only up 3% compared to last year this month. That's quite terrible news, given its March 2013 results were universally panned.

Ok, that´s very bad. Somehow I was expecting even worse sales...
 
Vita is dead in the US. SCEA better be readying a Minecraft bundle.

At this point, it wouldn't matter. Nothing will push Vita hardware in the US. I knew it was bad, but 10k is tragic. Lucky fans seem to buy everything for it. Goodness.
 
Did we ever compare it to Dreamcast sales yet in this thread?

Yeah PC version should definitely help :)

Especially as Durante seems to indicate it's a good port. Wonder if they'll be next gen ports too. Probably not I suppose



Well it sold less than MGSVGZ which sold 278k

So it's probably a good chunk below that

Gaming news has already confirmed that it's a vastly superior port. Solid controls, control customization, superior textures, unlocked FPS. One of the only problems is that the lighting and shadow effects downgrade that took place between the E3 gameplay demo and the console release seems to have remained in the PC release. For shame.

well considering console sales tend to get a bit lower in March anyways, if Titanfall wasn't released we'd probably be looking at 200k.
 
Ps4 outselling the Xbox One is shocking

Xbox One had

- Pricedrops
- Free game(s)
- Titanfall and the massive hype

But Ps4 still outsold it. And not by a small amount. Crazy
 
XboxOne February : 258k
XboxOne March : 311k

Even worse. March was a 5 week month and February was only 4 weeks. Xbox One actually sold better in February than March,

Only a matter of time before they announce that Kinect-less bundle. It is bound to happen.
 
MS gonna have to come up with a plan to increase xbox ones sells this gen or this might happen again.

March is a 5 week month so the numbers are actually down month over month. After the Feb NPD he tone seemed to be people didn't buy XB1 for TF already. Now after March NPD it seems most XB1 purchases for TF were indeed done in advance.
 
XboxOne February : 258k
XboxOne March : 311k

Not even a boost. February was 4 weeks, March was 5. 64,5/week versus 62,2/week. So, it's a decrease in sales.

I'm going to buy the Wii U once Mario Kart 8 drops.

Let's hope that a lot of people will do the same, for Wii U's sake.

I still don't see the console selling more than 15mln units when all is said and done, tho
 
How can this be possible? TitanFall is the biggest game of the month. I was expecting 400k for XboxOne :(
I think most people who were interested in Titanfall either...

1) Bought an Xbox One at launch.
2) Got it for PC.
3) Waited for the 360 release.
4) Knew that the next one will come to PS4.
 
Wii U will easily outsell the Dreamcast unless Nintendo discontinued it this year. Not that such a thing would be some sort of victory, though.
 
Vita hardware numbers look like Apple new model effect - announce new model, current model sales drop because people want the new one.
 
Wow I guess we know why dent was on a meltdown on twitter yesterday trying to call npd as totally wrong. I just can't believe ms got outsold with the most hyped marketed game in some time wow. Good on sony crazy momentum.
