The Last of Us is a massive IP. It was released last year and has already sold 6 million+.

Combine that with how the PS4 has attracted people who don't have a PS3 and I could see a 200k opening.

I don't think it will light the charts as well, just do well for a HD remaster.

Yeah, I can see it doing 200k, which will probably be good for a HD remake. I can't imagine Sony will be too upset with it doing 200k the first month and then it going on to sell a similar amount of the course of a year+.

If Re-makes/Re-releases of critically and well selling games are now bad, MS is a world of hurt this year.

TLOU sold 6 million on a 80 million installation base. Then there's the thirst for next gen, gfx heavy titles to justify peoples next gen purchase.

It'll be a slow burn, but I see Sony selling a lot of TLOUE's being the critically acclaimed game it is.

It being a slow burner is a good point. Either way, I'm sure Sony will be happy with whatever it sells.

Bah I have a prior commitment at 3:45 PST

I miss out on all the NPD fun at the start :\

If it makes you feel any better, I also have a significant meeting with upper management at 7:00 PM EDT that will probably end up taking three hours of my time, so I can only be here for like 15 minutes after PR releases before my obligations.

Yup, seems legit.

The Kinect-bundle is dead in the water and will be clearanced out by the end of summer.

They still have 360 kinect bundles, so I would expect them to keep the XB1 kinect sku throughout this cycle.

Sure sure. "Upper management"

You're two timing on a different forum and giving them all the juicy stuff!

 

[StoopKid]

Are you really implying I'm Gies for questioning how much appeal the TLoU remaster will have?

Jog on son.

Nah there was an old tweet from gies saying the TLou wasn't going to sell as well as uncharted.

It was a joke relax

PS4- Not bad

Do you have access to the numbers? Are we talking less than 100k for the Bone?

Its not going to be a true NPD thread without Aquamarine

 

[B.O.O.M]

Why? We know it's gonna be abysmal right? it's a reality I have come to accept over the last year or so. The other numbers would be much more interesting

No, just reactions instead of numbers.

Probably. It's been out of stock for months until they released the 2k a few days ago.

When Vita hurts, I hurt.
Hopefully May will pick up with the official release of the 2000.

Doubtful. Most people probably won't even know the Vita got a redesign.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Prediction: PS4 best selling console

 

[allan-bh]

Vita may have sold less than 5k.

 

[Aquamarine]

As a general PSA, people need to be careful when making statements about NPD during this time.

It's a very charged atmosphere, so if you say something without qualifying that it's your prediction / opinion, people will start to believe that you're some kind of insider.

And people get banned for false statements about NPD numbers.

There was this guy who posted OUYA sales last year but turned out to be a poser and the mods switfly banned him, for example.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I could see TLOU on Ps4 doing nearly as good as Infamous if it comes out in june.

That's quite a bold statement; I heard Vita has been selling thousands of units. Are you sure PS4 can come close to that?

At least you can take solace in knowing that you fully participated in last months record breaking NPD thread.

Over/under on when Microsoft releases their press release, and how many asterisks it has.

Gut feeling or more than that?

Nah doubtful. IF the system to turn around it's fortune the company behind it needs to actually give a fk. I love my vita but honestly it needs a relaunch, smarter marketing, and a few big titles from well known IPs. Until something like that happens I doubt it will mean much. But yea would be nice if it can do a bit better at least

 

[allan-bh]

MS press release should be similar to january. No numbers, Xbox One selling faster than Xbox 360 on the same period.

 

[Riderz1337]

Drop the bombs

When is this dropping again?

Feeling considering that sold ~10k in march.

My bad. I don't really follow what Gies says.

Apologies.

No-one leaking?

This thread'll keep me awake for a while.

Is TitanFall DLC releasing today a ploy from MS to avoid talking about NPD numbers?

Why not? Not everyone has to buy what you buy.

I think you reread what he posted.

 

[Nothing1016]

She has had it for a while. Lol

Godzilla and NPD on the same day? It must be Christmas.

 

[Bgamer90]

Seems like the stats will be similar to January (possible 2:1) but a lot of it will have to do with both systems having a big drop (which is what I expected).

Well, at least based on what I've seen being stated. 25 more minutes....

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Hoping to hear PS4 at 8 million by the end of May.

It's Microsoft. Assume the worst especially when they're on the defensive.

 

[Mifune]

Mort on twitter saying that it looks a lot like January, but a bit lower for both.

 

[TheRealTalker]

would it rather be a better idea to hold that number off for E3

seeing as they might not get the info for the next million after 8 million before the presser

Mort has fallen from grace though after that huge mess he made.
