Top 10 this month sold combined +17% more units than Top 10 Mar 15.

Trade in deal helped soften the blow for XB1. Not sure why people keep underestimating them. Nice to hear Zelda and (probably) Pokken did nice. Always had good hopes for those two.

I had the gap between Xbox and PS4 at 140k

There goes my prediction for both probably.

That's a solid sign for the industry. Division was obviously the major contributor of that

Oh, and could someone post when the results thread is on?
I always miss that.

Its either flat YoY for the month, down YoY for the month, or the YoY growth is small for the month. /shrug

I don't think they said no "super edition" just that you won't have to buy one if you have the original disc as you can earn any new dlc fighters in game and updates will be free.

What I really want to know is how much Nintendo Selects sold.

Ah, I didn't even think of that. I'm eager to see how those Selects did as well.

Amiibo bundle was a smart idea and TP is the most famous Zelda alongside OOT. Anyway a very good result.

Yeah, that was a very wise move. I wonder which upcoming Wii U games won't have an amiibo packed in. Surely Zelda U will.

I wonder if we'll see one for Kirby as well. Though, I believe the only one so far for 3DS was Chibi-Robo and with so few 3DS owners having amiibo capability (I imagine), perhaps it's better they wait till the next HH to pack in amiibo figures in a more widespread fashion.

Capcom released a half finished product for full price. They deserve this

 

[Chobel]

So, Pokken > SFV?

 

[sense]

Mlb is not a game people will rush out to buy day 1 and it came out on March 31 so I expect it to chart next month as well
Edit: looks like it came out on the 29th

NPD numbers for Sunset Overdrive, Ryse? Anybody?

MLB sold less than Zelda TP HD.

Not surprising, MLB came out the 29th. It had 3 days to chart.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

I'm curious to compare Dead Rising 3 first months sales vs Street Fighter 5 first month sales. Capcom exclusives to each console and certainly a disparity in install bases at the time of release. Very curious to see the #'s though.

 

[allan-bh]

Zelda must have sold pretty well.

 

[Guymelef]

MLB sold less than Zelda TP HD.

30 days of tracking vs 5.

 

[Mpl90]

So, Pokken > SFV?

Actually, yeah, I'd like to know if Pokken sold more than SFV

more like make it F2P KI style

They should have just released it in the Summer, maybe right after Evo to ride the hype. But nooo, they had to get it out to make it out for this year's E-Sports season...

It's not like they would have had any competition.

So, Pokken > SFV?

can't imagine it was too hard.

 

[Loudninja]

MLB always do well.

3 days for MLB.

In NPD?

SF V sold ~207k, Dead Rising 3 ~212k.

 

[pixellated_man]

You joke, but I've been seeing lots of posts about people deciding/asking if they should hold out for whatever the PS4K is.

Nah, don't think ps4k speculation had any significant impact. Xbox One price cut swaying some customers is the much more obvious and likely reason.
And it wouldn't bother Sony too much anyway if it did. PS4 still outsold it's main competitor which just received a price cut with free game after all.

 

[Rymuth]

can't keep my eyes open...will catch up in the morning.

3 days for MLB.

NPD is February 28-April 2

MS sneak peek:

Even so, Microsoft is also hailing the success of The Division as one reason why global hours spent on the Xbox One are up 89 percent over last year. In addition, Microsoft is calling out Killer Instinct: Season 3 for its high engagement numbers; more than 6 million unique players make this March the best month ever for that franchise.

I think people just assumed it was going to decline anyways. I guess the combo of price cut and trade in had a decent effect

Damn. Minecraft nearly kicked out.
One day it'll happen.

+6 million KI players in March is massive news.

GTA V continues to be a monster, 2 1/2 years after initial release on last gen consoles.

 

[Elios83]

LOL for some people it seems like Xbox has become so irrelevant that for PS4 winning the month is not enough anymore.
While for Xbox losing during a price cut + big promotion at biggest retailer+ biggest software release of the month associated to Xbox with exclusive marketing/bundle is really good
It only speaks about the fact that this gen is pretty much done and these threads have become a bit boring.

 

[allan-bh]

WOW.

Didn't know that Killer Instinct was able to have so many players.

“Portable hardware sales had the highest dollar sales volume decline versus last March, followed closely by [current-generation] consoles,” said Callahan.
“Seventh generation consoles had a steep percentage decline of 78 percent, though those sales now represent only 2 percent of the month’s sales.”
