[Mpl90]

So, everything ahead of Bravely sold better than around 200,000 units?

...Isn't that a bit...strange?

 

[Kriken]

Oh, and NPD says the PS4 led hardware sales, but only by a narrow margin. Xbox One unit sals were 90% of PS4.

200k includes digital doesn't it ?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Uh, heh. Stick of Truth came out in March. This is NPD for February.

Neither did Titanfall. Bomba confirmed!! (South Park got released on March 4)

it wouldn't have. South Park came out on the 4th. It isn't even part of this NPD poll.

Silly me. I thought we might see it this month.

 

[shinra-bansho]

That's an unusual February bump...

I'm going to wait a bit for confirmation.

 

[Yaoibot]

I'm curious why it matters so much to PS4 owners to see weaker X1 sales numbers? Do you need extra justification for your console purchase or something?

You should understand that competition, mainly healthy competition, benefits all of us. We don't benefit from Sony or MSFT becoming the sole mainstream console provider.

Healthy competition doesn't mean shooting yourself in the head with a confusing, undesirable product and/ or mixed messaging and then expecting people to buy it out of a deranged obligation to support companies or an industry that are not adequately competing. Either Nintendo or MS fits the afformentioned and consumers are reacting appropriately: with disdain.

Edit: Numbers are surprising.

And thats the most important thing here!

But good thing XB1 did not do as badly as it did in January, because that number was scary. Luckily for them it did not repeat

258,000 XBone according to WSJ

https://twitter.com/iansherr/status/444239975266398208

If the 90% part is true, the PlayStation 4 sold 286,000 units.

 

[RedAssedApe]

south park came out last week guyz

 

[Dragonborn]

258,000 XBone according to this dude

https://twitter.com/iansherr/status/444239975266398208

So 286k for the PS4? For being completely scarce, that's not bad at all

 

[polyh3dron]

well there you go

https://twitter.com/iansherr

When 360 sold less at same time in 06 it was supply constrained IIRC. XBOne is definitely not.

 

[S¡mon]

PS4 sold 285K.

Cause they keep buying games instead of making them and it pisses people off.

 

[3rdamention]

Everyone, take a shot whenever Titanfall gets mentioned.

You want a real drinking game? In the 3 days leading up to Titanfall s release, take a drink every time Major Nelson mentioned #Titanfall on his Twitter account. Honestly, you won't make it past the 1st day. I bet he had over 25 Titanfall tweets..in that span alone...

 

[RedAssedApe]

But who had more fun hours?

 

[Squalor]

But who had more fun hours?

I'm still waiting on the Titan drop count.

 

[RedAssedApe]

@PlayStation 34s
NPD Group: PS4 is #1 again for the month, and cumulative sales, in the United States. Thanks for your support!

blah

 

[Chobel]

I'm way off with Xbone and PS4 numbers.

Except the sales are a direct result of "competition." What you're asking for is sales parity, which is anti-competitive.

^This. "Competition" is brought up far too often around here without this understanding.

 

[Chobel]

And I'm also way off in X360 numbers, X360 = 114k

@iansherr

@p_arithmetic XB1 was 258,000. Xbox 360 sales were 114,000 in the U.S. in Feb.

[Punjabi_Hitman]

So if the X1 was $400, it would be ahead of the PS4 right now, interesting.

 

[donny2112]

"Bravely Default and Donkey Kong were the No. 2 and No. 4 best-selling games of the month."

Means Minecraft was the top-selling single SKU of the month with BD #2. BD > any individual SKU of Lightning Returns, but BD < combined LR numbers. *shrugs*

 

[RedAssedApe]

xbone gaining a little bit of momentum. that's good. will help keep sony honest

 

[Pain]

It's ridiculous that PS4 still has stock problems.

 

[le.phat]

interesting leap of logic lmao

 

[artist]

That's some Major Nelson in this post.

 

[Sarobi]

Pretty close numbers.
I think Xbox's March numbers will outsell PS4's by quite a bit.

 

[RedAssedApe]

So if the X1 was $400, it would be ahead of the PS4 right now, interesting.

think thats a gross over simplification of things. let's not get ahead of ourselves.

If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Microsoft's reaction:

 

[spatenfloot]

Bro don't pussy foot... the gaming industry is clearly doomed we will all be playing mobile games on the toilet from here on out.

Spoiler

/s

<-- just incase lol

That's what Vita remote play is for.

 

[JeffGrubb]

On an individual SKU basis. I wonder what was first.

No joke: Minecraft for Xbox 360.

 

[jayu26]

So if the X1 was $400, it would be ahead of the PS4 right now, interesting.

So if PS4 was in stock it would have sold even more... see how logic works.

 

[pswii60]

That's a difficult one to call really as a hermaphrodite.

 

[GunBR]

In US? Obviously, just look at the PS3 vs. 360 sales
Worldwide? No

 

[Oneothesedays]

You should be mad at the game studios and publishers for making these deals too, there are two sides to each coin. Microsoft is well within their rights to pay for exclusivity.

Owning game studios is not always a profitable endeavor, go look at Sony Santa Monica (their crown jewel) that just went through pretty sizable layoffs.

 

[CosmicQueso]

That's an unusual February bump...

I'm going to wait a bit for confirmation.

It was an unusual February bump. Pretty much across the board.

 

[theprodigy]

It was an unusual February bump. Pretty much across the board.

what exactly happened in January to cause sales to tank?
that's not a normal bump

 

[Mpl90]

It was an unusual February bump. Pretty much across the board.

I suppose the January weather conditions had a far bigger impact than we thought, at this point.

 

[theprodigy]

I suppose the January weather conditions had a far bigger impact than we thought, at this point.

imagine if someone said Xbox One sales would go up 85% from January due to shitty weather last month
lolololol

 

[DaBoss]

Anyways, RIP in peace predictions.

Means Minecraft was the top-selling single SKU of the month with BD #2. BD > any individual SKU of Lightning Returns, but BD < combined LR numbers. *shrugs*

Sweet justice.

EDIT: In light of recent news, LR < 200K < BD

 

[theprodigy]

40.58 points+whatever I get from 3DS
yuck

 

[SwiftDeath]

My predictions they are the stuff of nightmares Yeesh

 

[shinra-bansho]

It was an unusual February bump. Pretty much across the board.

Yep, triple digit percentage increase for the 360! Curious.
Wondering if there was quite a bit of weather effect dampening January, or depressed January sales due to new hardware spend-up Nov/Dec and consumers waking up from that malaise, or better than usual taxmas effect. Or, perhaps just a combination of it all. EDIT: Oh, and of course Titanfall effect as well.

It's good to see everything up.

Woe is my prediction record though...

 

[TechnicPuppet]

[360] 85k
[3DS] 95k
[PS3] 65k
[PS4] 180k
[WIU] 55k
[XB1] 160k

I was too low but ratio wise I did ok I think.

 

[jvm]

[PS4] 180K
[XB1] 130K
[3DS] 100K
[WIU] 70K
[360] 60K
[PS3] 50K

 

[theprodigy]

40.58 points+whatever I get from 3DS
yuck

also, 345k units off+whatever the 3DS is (probably will add another 40k assuming it's at 150k)

I guess at least we all failed together this month, right?
lol

 

[Hammer24]

Do we have enough data to compile the results list yet?
