Next Generation installed base in North America and Europe
Data provided via NPD Group & GfK Chart-Track

Q2 2014 - 11m
Q3 2014 - 15m
Q4 2014 - 24m (Worldwide install base estimated ~29m)
Q1 2015 - 26m

Numbers are rounded.
Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One are included.
North America includes - USA, Canada etc...
Europe includes - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK

Man holidays really are massive for sales. Numbers jumped nearly 10 million in Q4. Do we have a platform split estimation (%) for these numbers Zhuge?

I guess we can always use the Amazon hourly charts to create our own summary......

This is me laughing and crying on the inside because its true... I got your back man.

Yeh me too...

What are we thinking regarding The Witcher 3?

Any info on pre-orders?

Based on Amazon?
Great solid pre-orders for the PS4 version followed by good pre-orders on the XBO version.

 

[Chobel]

That really sucks... that sounds like a temp ban only situation, so he should be back for E3, right?

Two weeks ban, he'll be back this month.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Two weeks ban, he'll be back this month.

Awesome^^

Unfortunate what happened but good to know he'll be back.

As for TW3, I'm personally more interested in how it'll do console sales split wise. It's a strong PC series and that's where most of it's sales will be, probably more then half I would think. TW2 was on 360-only console wise but I don't think it established much of a presence or fanbase. So while I don't have an estimate for how it'll do in the first month, I think it's probably going to have a 55/45 split in favor of PS4, if not slightly higher for the PS4 just due to the genre and userbase difference.

Na, no split unfortunately.

Install base in North America and Europe is over 123 million for PS3 + 360 at this current time.

I'm not sure if they count replacement consoles or not.

Last gen, even when 360 was kicking PS3's ass, MK sold better in PS3. So I expect PS4 version to sell more than XB1, and probably with a significant lead judging by UK sales.

As far as I can tell all fighting games did better on PS3 than they should have by NPD sales.

360 won the first month of Street Fighter 4 sales but it was by a very small margin given the console sales differential. (446k vx 403k)

Wut?

Pachter is usually wrong. That's what he said that

 

[ZhugeEX]

Wut?

Either he misread..... Or he's going on the assumption that Pachter is wrong as always

 

[jvm]

Irony is always a challenge, even in person.

 

[Welfare]

Wut?

The Pachter Rule

If Pachter predicts a console will win NPD, it will lose said NPD.

Further testing required.

Nah it's a shame we didn't get a split but it certainly shows that we have a decent sized console base for so early into the gen. The bigger the base becomes the less cross gen releases we will see. Looking forward to the day those fall out of favor with publishers.

Me too!

Remind me to never cross you! I pity the fool.

When do the results drop?

Fuck off with that shit, Patcher, now you're gonna screw up our predictions because yours are always wrong! Remember what you did to The Order 1886?

I was kidding, obviously

This is the first solid indication of an Xbox One win for April.

Remember peeps. Pachter is always wrong except when he puts the PS4 on front.

Lets start taking bets on what Microsoft's random statistic of the month will be.

So far we've had

• Fans spent an average of 74 hours on Xbox Live in the U.S
• Since launch, over 2.6 billion global Gamerscore has been achieved, 165 million global achievements have been unlocked and 130 million global Game DVR clips have been uploaded.
• We’ve seen over 740 million hours of fun on Xbox One across games, apps, and TV.
• People are seeing the benefit of Kinect, with over 685 million speech commands used to navigate Xbox One, including 20 million commands of “Xbox, Record That” alone.
• Xbox One connects families and friends in unparalleled ways. Over 1 million people have launched Skype on Xbox One, discovering the brilliance of large screen communication every day.
• In 2014, users logged nearly 8 billion hours globally in apps across Xbox 360 and Xbox One, a 50 percent increase from time spent in 2013.
• In the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta alone, 18 million games have been played to date.
• Xbox One fans buying more games in November in the U.S. than any other gen eight platform and enjoying over 357 million hours of gameplay globally.

I'm going with a stat about hours and a stat about how Xbox One is still ahead of 360 by x amount.

Fatalities performed on Xbox platforms, Bullets fired in MCC, hours spent gaming online, and the hottest/biggest 2015 exclusive gaming lineup... One or all of those will be mentioned, IMO..

Taking in the Little Caesar incident into account, I'm gonna go with the amount of Bacon consumed.

15 million screenshots taken since the .PNG upgrade

and i think they will shake things up by announcing how many times the Halo 5 teaser site has been viewed.

 

[slavesnyder]

They will skip the statistics and go directly to "talk about Halo 5".

Pretty reasonable prediction. Wedbush has been having a tough year so far in the monthly predictions, but this could be the start of a comeback!

Judging by recent trends they'll just immediately remind us that Halo 5 is only five short months away.

The Witcher 3 launches on XB1 this month and has over 1 million preorders

I'd be very shocked if the PS4 sold 250k for the month seeing as it's a slower month.

Zombies killed State of Decay.

Not a stat, but I'm sure they'll talk about The Witcher 3 being the next big game coming to XB1.

But Witcher 3 is the next big game coming to XB1, why shouldn't they talk about it ?
