Anyone else really, really excited?

 

[QuantumBro]

Haha, he doesn't mention MK8? Dafuq?

Do they count that as next-gen?

 

[Jomjom]

That's an interesting point. With the continued TF and Forza pack-ins combined with Sony's stronger offerings of FTP titles, I wouldn't be surprised if MS kept the software lead for a while. Not to mention that historically Xbox has had greater attach rates last gen anyways

Yeah even with selling more hardware, it seems like MS still edges Sony in software sales and attach rates. Don't know what it is, but it just always seems like Xbox owners buy more games in general. As long as they have that I think MS will continue giving numbers.

I'm always excited for a new NPD thread!

 

[shwimpy]

"Next-gen sales". I hope.

nice on MK 8

 

[Angelus Errare]

Not particularly to be honest. Never really understood the excitement about which console sales more. I wish I wasn't so apathetic. T_T

 

[Michael Armbrust]

A "normal" drop from April would've put it probably ~100K (probably the north side of that a bit), for reference. May is usually a slower month.

Yeah I know. That'd be a minimal drop imo.

If Watchdog's doesn't counteract the kinectless sku announcement, then things could be worse.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wow the show did really well I think? Or did Wolfenstein bomb?

 

[ricardokenshin]

woot mario kart! look at that!

 

[RE_Player]

Surprised how well MLB did.

 

[Lexxism]

Wow Kirby 3DS in the top 10

[Kiote]

Nice. Go MK8.

 

[vinnygambini]

KIRRRBBYYYY

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks like MK8 did well for itself.

 

[Flandy]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...watch-dogs-spark-big-us-game-sales-in-may-npd

Wow. MK8 is doing really well

 

[prag16]

"Next-gen sales". I hope.

Since it came in #2, I guess he's a "Wii U isn't next gen" troll.

 

[Yaser Tech]

MLB! Nice, these guys worked really hard and they deserve it.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Surprised how well MLB did.

That PS4 SKU must have sold wonders

 

[TheRealTalker]

saw the show as well


I wonder how much these titles sold under WatchDogs and MK8

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...watch-dogs-spark-big-us-game-sales-in-may-npd

Wut at MLB?

The PS4 effect?

 

[Jomjom]

Hmmm... the Gamesbeat article on NPD said that PS4 AND Xbox One continued to sell well. Maybe everyone underestimated it?

 

[phanphare]

Kirby: Triple Deluxe charted?

that's pretty cool

 

[Finalizer]

MLB did surprisingly well then.

 

[Asd202]

The gap between Watch_Dogs overall and MK8 will be pretty huge.

 

[chubigans]

Yesss, Wolfenstein doin' good.

 

[Delusibeta]

C'mon, hardware figures! That's what we're all here for, right?

 

[Jigorath]

Go MLB! Since the PS3 and Vita versions launched in April this must be mainly the PS4 version. I wonder if it had an effect on hardware?

 

[RedAssedApe]

decent showing for wolfenstein i hope.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

GO MK!

 

[Insane Metal]

PS4 leading nextgen sales.

 

[SDCowboy]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...watch-dogs-spark-big-us-game-sales-in-may-npd

Can we get any hardware estimates from this?

 

[Loris146]

360 and PS4 kings of multi

 

[LinkMaster111]

Wow, Kart must have done really well.

 

[phanphare]

The gap between Watch_Dogs overall and MK8 will be pretty huge.

::looks at SKUs for each::

obviously

Ian Sherr ‏@iansherr 10s
Sony is pleased with NPD data, affirming it was #1 for next-gen hardware and software sales. Also claiming mantel for sports with MLB #NPD

https://twitter.com/iansherr/status/478666783826538497

So PS4 #1

 

[Chobel]

It looks like MK8 sales are really good

 

[shwimpy]

PS4 SKU beat every XBO SKU for every third party game.

 

[AniHawk]

there was a hint of kirby doing well last month but this one cements it

 

[Mpl90]

Total industry sales were way up, climbing 52 percent to $586 million. This was driven not only by the continued adoption of Xbox One and PS4, as hardware skyrocketed 95 percent to $187 million, but also by a sizable 57 percent increase in console software sales to $274 million (PC software brings that total up to $284 million).

First info about hardware sales, right now.

 

[Asd202]

::looks at SKUs for each::

obviously

Yeah but I reckon PS4 Watch_dogs > MK8. Will need Cream Sugar for that though.

 

[SDCowboy]

PS4 leading nextgen sales.

Was there any doubt?

 

[ethomaz]

MLB The Show... nice.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

WATCH DOGS MK AND MLB CLEARING HOUSE!

Yes at wolf aswell!

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Every multiplatform game sold more on PS4 than Xbone, it's probably a sign of how bad the xbone sold in may, I guess.

 

[RiggyRob]

Yiss Triple Deluxe.

 

[phanphare]

Yeah but I reckon PS4 Watch_dogs > MK8. Will need Cream Sugar for that though.

yeah probably, although the gap would be much smaller there

 

[FZZ]

Yeah but I reckon PS4 Watch_dogs > MK8. Will need Cream Sugar for that though.

Don't think so. I think MK wins out for individual, but you're right we need creamsugar to confirm.
