Middle of the road is an improvement lol. Why was i even remotely confident in wiiu. PS3 is somewhat surprising especially below 3ds

HD twins killed me this month!

How does the Overall top 50 for 2013 work? Is it just counting the best 2 out of 3 months for each poster? I assume so since I missed January's prediction, but am still decently ranked.

Congrat' to the winner!

And I'm happy again this month to be in the top 5 by units and for my points ranking even if I need to try harder to up my general ranking. PS3 fucked my order.

Edit: oh yeah, and lol.

50. Pachter 82.59

Yep, it's just counting the top 2 out of the 3 months so far in the year per poster. It will stay n-1 until September, when it'll change to n-2. For the full year, only the top 10 out of 12 months per poster are counted. That way someone missing a month or two (or just having a really off month or two) doesn't greatly reduce their chances for the full year rankings.

Ah, I was waiting for this thread.

[360] 125,000
[3DS] 109,000
[PS3]113,000
[PS4] 408,000
[WIU] 102,000
[XB1] 516,000

Ideas behind sales numbers:

Xbox One
NPD results were for five weeks (unlike February's 4 weeks) - which puts it around 330K already. Additionally, March saw the launch of the heavily-hyped Titanfall as well as several price cuts. Prices as low as $399 were reported.
I expect the combination of Titanfall and pricedrops to cause a natural 60% increase in sales over the entire sale-tracking period, which puts it at 516K.

PS4
With the Japan launch behind us and PS4 back in full production (after a short break because of a Chinese holiday). My calculations have shown that Sony actually shipped 285K units to the US last month, slightly below the suggested 286.7K sold (which means: I believe last month's PS4 sales figure has been estimated slightly too high).
With inFAMOUS: Second Son, as well as continued demand, Sony likely shipped 100,000 to 150,000 additional PS4s compared to last month.
Sony will also profit from a small number of sales by customers who were looking forward to Titanfall, only realizing afterwards that Titanfall is not on PS4.

Wii U
Hooray, Nintendo will sell 100,000+ Wii Us - but only just. Nintendo, just like Sony, will also profit from a small number of sales by customers who were looking forward to Titanfall, only realizing afterwards that Titanfall is not on Wii U.

PS3/3DS/X360
Estimates based on very little information.

This is the 2013 thread, not the 2014 thread.

I think, NPD comes out on the 17th which is why a 2014 thread has not been made.

Crap.

For a moment, I did not realize that the year we live in was two-thousand-and-fourteen.

You waited a long time.
