How long till the numbers are out?
I wonder if we'll get an official Nintendo PR this time and not just comments in IGN article this time, seeing how they've been very talkative in the past two days about numbers.
This will be Month 27 barring something unforeseen.Someone on twitter (Major Nelson maybe) will post the XBOX numbers any momentg now. Plus how much of a share of the console market theyt have and how many straight months they've been top dog.
Depends on how strong 3DS unit sales were. More likely that we see increase YOY for 3DS and have something to talk about, but I think Wii U data could be more nebulous.
If 3DS somehow didn't beat YOY comps? That could mean that Reggie's recent comments are all we'll get.

I don't think the numbers will favor Nintendo that much. No matter how exciting those Nintendo Directs are, I mean zomfg LttP2 (!!!!), it's kinda obvious that Nintendo is using them as damage controll. The weird thing is that if the WiiU does 100k+ it would be considered a postive surprise.
Nintendo's Investor Meeting is also in a few days, so we should get Wii U info from that.

According to Reggie, Luigi's Mansion 2 sold 415k units (digital + retail). Other then that, I expect nothing but disappointment from this NPD. Especially on Nintendo's side of things.
The fact is that we don't know if he's referring to just March NPD sales or real LTD sales, so also first two weeks of April, not included in NPD this month.
261k... Low

"#NPD for March shows Xbox 360 sold 261K units as #1 console and 6 of Top 10 titles. Thanks to all for the ongoing support."
The winner of the 360 prediction sweepstakes this month is THIS guy! Congrats, Jonsoncao![360] 260k
[3DS] 162k
[PS3] 210k
[WIU] 60k
[PSV] 30k
Eh, strange Greenberg didn't highlight this should be the 27th consecutive month of being at the top for 360.

Will we be getting Nintendo's Wii U numbers when the data is released? Or will it be like the last couple of months where the numbers are hidden until they eventually leak-out later on? I would love to see if Pachter's Wii U 55K estimation turns out to be accurate.
MS PR said:Xbox 360 continues to hold the number one spot in the U.S., selling more units in March than any other console; marking the 27th consecutive month as the best-selling console in the U.S.
March 2013 NPD highlights:
· Xbox 360 sold 261,000 units in March, maintaining the number-one console spot in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, March 2013)
· Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in March reached $402 million, (hardware, software and accessories), the most for any console in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, March 2013)
· During the month of March, Xbox 360 held six of the top 10 console game titles including: “Bioshock Infinite,” “NBA 2K13,” “Gears of War: Judgment,” “Tomb Raider,” “The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops II.” (Source: NPD Group, March 2013)
Entertainment experiences on Xbox LIVE continue to grow as Xbox introduced its newest app this week, Flixster. The service, available for Xbox LIVE subscribers in the U.S., is one of the most popular apps for movies, allowing users to buy and rent thousands of titles, check out local theater show times and access movie scores from Rotten Tomatoes. And, Xbox Tournaments with Virgin Gaming launched earlier this month exclusively on Xbox LIVE, bringing gamers free-to-enter gaming tournaments for popular games including “EA SPORTS™ FIFA 13,” “NBA 2K13,” “EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 13” and “EA SPORTS™ NHL® 13,” with many more titles to come.
Isn't that a bit low for a 5-week month?
And damn my prediction for the 360 is off by 24K, not a good start.![]()
X360 (and PS3) need a price drop.
For later...
I agree. Suspect it's close this month.The fact they didn't mention "more than XX% of total consoles sold were 360" tells me the PS3 must be close behind.
There's only so many characters in a tweet.

261k in 5 weeks?
I'm afraid to see the Wii U numbers then.
