23 hours until Nintendo, and I guess Microsoft, fans get hit with The Phantom Pain of sales numbers

Spoiler

1% chance of that occurrence

 

[theprodigy]

What would even be a good pun regarding a game title to reflect on sales?
Bravely Default doesn't really work unless the 3DS gets a huge spike out of nowhere, and I'm not sure what else would work.

[NolbertoS]

Can't wait for tomorrow. I expect a similar trend like February NPD, but i'm more curious about next month's NPD, and how or if Titanfall moved alot of units for MS to be considered "successful"

Hah!

I got a extra version of WCW vs nWo for N64, ill eat that one if it happens.

I am super curious about XB1 number, if its around 140-150k again...fuck that is bad.

Slightly less curious about PS4, except it at 250-300

PS4 would do decently to have half those sales

Voting closed two days ago, guys. No sense in putting up your predictions in the proper format now because they won't be counted. ;-)

well it could be worth it to see how you would have done

Spoiler

where's my leaks Aquamarine, get the party started early

Approximate countdown to Feb NPD Thread/Leaks etc.

Just 8 hours remain until the apocalypse.

It'll probably be longer for leaks, though. ;-)

You will have to wait until the May NPD thread for that .

So, the NPD of May are going to track only one day of MK8 sales?

 

[DECK'ARD]

I'm excited to see the return of Xbox*

 

[lightning2k3]

Whats the general consensus to how February compares to January?

 

[theprodigy]

Whats the general consensus to how February compares to January?

Xbox* sold the most software

 

[SlipperySlope]

I'm late, but I'll join in the fun. My guesstimates:

PS4: 180K
XB1: 100K
3DS: 100K
PS3: 50K
Wii U: 50K
360: 40K

 

[lightning2k3]

Xbox* sold the most software

I mean in terms of sales trends. I just started following this recently so I was wondering if February numbers are usually better or worse than January. I would assume that sales trends are going to be the major factor this month, since we haven't seen too many must have releases this month that wouldve moved units.

 

[kidfresh718]

I'm excited to see the return of Xbox*

Prepare to be disappointed.. Lol

 

[N.Domixis]

Xbox* sold the most software

We at Microsoft are proud to announce that XBOX* was the highest selling console in history.


*

Spoiler

Includes the Xbox ONE, Xbox 360, and Xbox's competitor, the PS4.

 

[DECK'ARD]

That would be a miserable showing, so I hope you're way off.

[Rebel Leader]

This is neogaf. Believe

 

[Darksol]

I'm bored. Come on NPD results...arrive faster!

 

[theprodigy]

seriously, what happened to Microsoft PR
"fastest selling console" was actually creative if misleading, Xbox* is just cringe-worthy

 

[Squalor]

I'm bored. Come on NPD results...arrive faster!

I can't wait for the meltdown(s).

We're guaranteed at least one (Nintendo fans).

I do expect both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One to perform well, but one still notably better than the other.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Hmm. Late prediction but:

PS4 -235k
XB1 -180k

 

[Rebel Leader]

Approximate countdown to Feb NPD Thread/Leaks etc.

 

[RedAssedApe]

My late predictions

PS4 - 230K
XB1 - 115K

 

[QuickSilverD]

It is very late, but let's see how close I can get.

PS4: 280K
XB1: 140K
3DS: 100K
PS3: 50K
Wii U: 50K
360: 50K

 

[Snakeyes]

[PS4] 350k
[XB1] 100k
[3DS] 80k
[WIU] 40k
[360] 60k
[PS3] 80k
[PSV] 50k

In case anyone is wondering, yes, I have no idea what I'm doing.

 

[Mooreberg]

Note entirely related to the thread, but what are people expecting from games like Castlevania and Lightning Returns in terms of sales? Software sales on the older systems have been dropping pretty rapidly, right? Makes sense to me given how long they have been on the market.

 

[donny2112]

We're guaranteed at least one (Nintendo fans).

Unless they've been unaware (or disbelieving) of the marketplace for the past year, what would cause this theoretical Nintendo fan to meltdown?

I heard that last-gen software fell off particularly bad in the US last month
dunno how true it is though

here?

 

[donny2112]

here?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Unless they've been unaware (or disbelieving) of the marketplace of the last year, I can't think of anything surprising to pop out of this NPD thread for Nintendo. Meltdowns come from something surprising happening and people can't handle it. (See February 2007 PS3, DQIX, FFXIII 360, etc. threads)

 

[N.Domixis]

PS4 - 210K

Oh god that reminds me bravely default

FF may be on there but I doubt Castlevania

 

[Crawl]

Do we know relatively how many more 360's there are in the US compared to PS3's?

 

[dolemite]

The Pentagon apparently uses body-sign language experts to decipher Putin's mood. We could probably use their skills tonight to decipher Major Nelson's.

Meltdown for what? It's not like people were expecting WiiU to do any good last month.

 

[donny2112]

Lots.

360 - 41.1m

oh, that's where the GBA>PS3 thing started huh
lol

Unfortunate if someone thought that. Japan's MC numbers.

7180 <- week before DK:TF
8782 <- week of DK:TF release

Basically statistical noise/normal weekly variability, in my opinion.

Famitsu was even worse, 8605-->8706
Wonderful 101 strikes again

I've had numerous fans tell me to wait for one of their legacy franchises to release.

Well, Donkey has come out.
