NPD Sales Results for December 2013 [Up2: Xbox One/360 HW, 3DS top system of year]

Word of mouth and $20 sales definitely helped Tearaway. Have yet to start it but I'm glad to see a large 2nd month increase, even if it is still a pathetic number.
 
What I'm really interested in, and the only real surprise to me that I wouldn't have guessed two weeks ago is the GT6 sales.

Is it simply a function of next-gen stealing its thunder or have they seriously lost momentum with that franchise? I genuinely think it could be the latter. GT7 needs to be damn near a reinvention, and Polyphony needs to break out of their Nintendo-esque bubble.
 
By a small margin, and getting tighter every years, am I wrong?

The 3DS peaked already.
Quarter aligned the last we got 3DS shipment WW the difference was something like 7 million.

3DS is reaching saturation in Japan (near 15 million or so) but in US and Europe sales were disappointing (good but nothing special) so who knows if it has peaked.

Borderlands 2 port is missing but still. I'm a sad panda. :(
 
Isn't the Wii U doing worse than Gamecube?

GameCube sold 619k in December 2002 according to an old Beyond3D thread on the NPD for that month.

That being said, Wii U is somewhere in the ~4M range in units sold now and GameCube was 3.5 at the same point.

Have to think inevitable aggressive price cuts, a possible revision and the release of games like Smash Brothers and Mario Kart 8 will all pop the Wii U a bit, at least in the short term - just like the GameCube was popped by a cut to $99.
 
Welp... I love my vita... it's top tier. But I'm now second guessing it. I just feel it will be swept under a rug by scea. No new games other then localizations from japan.

The Damn thing is now one expensive ps4 accessory
