6 PM GMT
hard to determine that when the wii u will only see two days of sales from mario kart. i expect it'll be frontloaded, but probably not enough to do huge numbers like that in such a short amount of time. and then by june, that first couple of days won't matter and microsoft's price drop will be in effect.
What if Sony has TLOU: Remastered for just after E3 or late June?
Will the Xbone ever 'win' an NPD? Because that game will shift some PS4's, especially after its full reveal at E3.
That might be a 2015 game.
Sorry to ask but when is this going down again? i need to prepare pop-corns and soda before hand
Edit: thanks guys so in around 7 hours and something
In hindsight, I think I would adjust:S¡mon;110459638 said:[360] 89K
[3DS] 127K
[PS3] 54K
[PS4] 297K
[WIU] 56K
[XB1] 187K
XB1 will see the biggest drop compared to last month: no big title launching and price increased again back to $499.
I don't think Wii U beat Xbox One in may is a explosive fact. Honestly at this point is kinda expected.
Xbox One sales will dive and Mario Kart 8 is a huge game for Wii U.
I don't think Wii U outselling Xbone in May would cause meltdowns in the light of the recent price cut announcement.
I wish it was 6pm GMT![]()
I don't know what to say. Sub-100k would be mind-numbingly bad
I just can't fathom that. That might be the craziest NPD thread yet this year
Can't wait for NPD's. I'm really interested in what happened to XB1 sales. Do they stay high or do they drop off? Will PS4 still be as high as last month?
Excitement OVERFLOWING!

If Xbox One is too low in April / May, Microsoft may decide to forego PR for exact Xbox One numbers.
We may have to rely on leakers...

I guess they will release precise numbers but they'll focus on their bright future with the price cut in June in the PR.
Just like in January they gave numbers but were focusing on their bright future with the launch of Titanfall![]()
September NPD – Biggest September for Xbox 360 Software Sales
This month, Xbox 360 reached 80 million consoles sold to retailers worldwide* and maintained its lead as the number one selling console in the U.S. in 2013.
September 2013 NPD highlights:
Last month marked the biggest September software sales for Xbox 360, with sales reaching $401.2 million, the most for any console in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, September 2013)
Xbox 360 continues to see strong consumer demand with an amazing lineup of titles. In fact, Xbox 360 held five of the top 10 console games during the month of September including: “Grand Theft Auto V,” “FIFA 14,” “Madden NFL 14,” “Diablo III” and “NBA 2K14.” (Source: NPD Group, September 2013)
Xbox 360 remains the number one selling console in the U.S. in 2013, with 1.6 million units sold this year. (Source: NPD Group, September 2013)
Xbox 360 is poised for another successful holiday with recently announced Xbox 360 holiday bundles available worldwide at select major retailers. The three holiday bundles are:
Xbox 360 250GB Holiday Bundle with “Halo 4” and “Tomb Raider” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $249.99** USD (ERP).
Xbox 360 4GB Kinect Holiday Bundle with “Kinect Sports: Season Two” and “Kinect Adventures” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $249.99** USD (ERP).
Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Holiday Bundle with “Kinect Sports: Season Two,” “Kinect Adventures,” and “Forza Horizon” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $349.99** USD (ERP).
This holiday only, the Xbox 360 4GB Console is available for an incredible value of $179.99** USD (ERP). Now is the time to get a great deal on Xbox 360.
Looking ahead to Xbox One launch, we continue to see overwhelming demand for the console with pre-orders for Xbox One selling out quicker than any previous Xbox release; Xbox One pre-orders continue to outpace Xbox 360 pre-orders in the same time period. While we remain on track to honor all pre-order commitments, we do expect to sell every Xbox One we deliver to retail this holiday.
With the release of Xbox One, amazing new titles coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 and best-ever holiday offers available for Xbox 360, it’s going to be a great year for Xbox.

their PR will still be game stats in seconds and they'll talk about E3.
Calling it.
Like I said earlier, can we not panic when Xbox One is sub 150k? I feel like the people saying that it's not likely are setting themselves up for a meltdown.
"The Xbox One has consumed over 50 million watt hours of electricity."
Can't wait for NPD's. I'm really interested in what happened to XB1 sales. Do they stay high or do they drop off? Will PS4 still be as high as last month?

I'm getting deja-vu from the March NPD thread already. Sooo many people had to eat crow there when they said that there was "no chance" MS could lose...

I think it will be more likely if Xbox One numbers are <100K.
Microsoft has to weigh whether revealing Xbox One's exact numbers will be more of a detriment than just keeping it as general as humanly possible, like this:

Mere hours away from getting no numbers.
It's disappointing that Sony is so lackluster with their PR this gen, especially with PS4 doing so well.
"Hay guyz, PS4 sold the best this month #PlayStation"
:-(
I don't mind too much. The numbers get out eventually anyways through other means, and it saves them the embarassment of trying to spin them when they get an unfavorable month. After all, look how much ridicule MS got for the "Titans dropped"/"Zombies Killed" metrics when they didn't have the actual numbers on their side.

Xbox One, first year post-launch:
January: 141K
February: 258K
March: 311K
PS3, first year post-launch:
January: 244K
February: 127K
March: 130K
April: 82K
May: 82K
June: 99K
July: 159K
August: 131K
September: 119K
October: 121K
It seems like that, given Xbox One's very low 141K in January + PS3's penchant for sub-100K numbers during its early release, a drop below 100K wouldn't be entirely unheard of for Xbox One.
I certainly think that May has a sub-100K possibility for Xbox One given the early announcement of the June price cuts. But then again, I'm not sure I would equate the Xbox One's current situation to PS3's former situation. It does seem to be more successful at this juncture.
I didn't even know you were a girl.What!? That's ludicrous! I'm just a harmless girl who knows nothing! Surely you must know that about me by now!

Countdown until NPD PR starts coming out

Its like they don't understand the fanfare of NPD releases (and from the outside world who really would lol)
I wish it was 6pm GMT![]()
Probably. It's been out of stock for months until they released the 2k a few days ago.God I wonder if Vita is sub-10K 0_0
I'm expecting them to celebrate a decent amount during the E3 conference... a few minutes being used to discuss sales & stats.
i just had a thought, dunno if its been posted anywhere, but if xbox promotes the new price and the sft core gamers see it, will they wait till the new price before buying xbox? meaning they will lose may. Watch dogs is coming out, and with it been promoted heavily opn ps4, they have definitely lost may

The June NPD thread is going to be break Neogaf if the PS4 outsells the XB1.
I think it pretty much a given that it will.The June NPD thread is going to be break Neogaf if the PS4 outsells the XB1.
