I wonder what the 360 version of TF sold. Looks like the staggered release was a smart move as the 360 release likely is what kept it #1. I'm going to guess the Xbone version probably didn't sell many copies in April.

 

[metalslimer]

3DS numbers are bad as usual. Smash on 3DS will be one of the more interesting sales age stories to watch. I've been on the side that it won't do as well as the Wii U version in the west, and will fail to do that much as the local mp is so important.

 

[RedNumberFive]

How many of those were Day One Editions?

You joke, but there are still two of them at the nearby Fry's.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Calling it now May will be below 80k units for Xbone.

 

[Daemul]

I feel it has no chance of a comeback this gen, there is nothing that can turn the tides of resentment and disgust for the brand. A distant second place is not good enough, they should consider getting out of the console race.

What?

With all the 180s MS has been doing, this might just happen.

 

[Kiote]

I feel silly for my 210K or so prediction.

Guess I'm just not hip to the April sales history for consoles.

Xbox's April Sales History is almost always over 200k. This is the lowest since the Original Xbox.

WiiU outselling X1 next month...

Dear Lord, the May thread will be a bloodbath if that happens.

The servers would be down too long for that to happen

 

[Magwik]

I'm starting to wonder if we could possibly see Vita have better numbers than XB1 for May NPD.
The 2000 bundle is pretty much OoS everywhere local.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Okay I updated the OP a bit.

The PlayStation 4 was the best selling hardware this month, and the Xbox One was the second best selling hardware this month.

So everything besides those two is less than 115K.

That ps4doesntneedgames.jpg fits so well here.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Not great numbers for the Xbox but its bound to get better.

And wow, did Infamous tank real quick. I have no idea what games PS4 users are playing right now.

the show, bound by flame (lol), various smaller digital games, the same mp they bought at launch (heh) etc.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Under 200k for PS4 is not good.

Well it's a good thing it's not under 200k. "Almost 2:1" of 115k doesn't make 30,000+ under "almost".

I'm starting to wonder if we could possibly see Vita have better numbers than XB1 for May NPD.

I'll shit my heart out of my nose if that ever happens.

 

[d0nnie]

Wow...115k XBO? That's some serious number. Very serious.

I have no idea how MSFT is going to get the XBO back on track. Titanfall failed to bring the much needed boosts, and there is nothing on the horizon (outside of E3) that can bring these numbers up.

There appears to be some serious apathy towards the XBO from a consumer standpoint, this is just not lack of interest. I'm curious to see how MSFT will deal with this in the coming months.

no

 

[keit4]

People is getting crazy in this thread. Time to bail out.

Spoiler

Please god, let WiiU be the best selling console in May. I want to see the meltdowns.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Spin it baby.

I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.

 

[Dinjooh]

Hmm?

He's saying it would've dropped off massively in March if it weren't for Titanfall.

 

[Black Republican]

What?

i think hes joking

 

[Andodalf]

Even the Vita?

Why you gotta kick it when it's down? It's beaten ps4 in japan!

 

[iamjohn]

When will we see Sony's numbers?

 

[Chezzymann]

So PS4 is the only healthy hardware in NA right now, right? (Assuming its over 200k)

 

[Gator86]

Outsold the Xbone version of Titanfall? Whoa...

Don't care about Infamous beating Titanfall but I hope it's true Infamous is selling this well. Love Sucker Punch.

Price drop?

WiiU outselling X1 next month...

Dear Lord, the May thread will be a bloodbath if that happens.

Nintendo needs to go crazy with their ad campaign for Mario Kart WiiU

but sadly the game releases on the 30th

 

[PhoenixDawn]

The servers would be down too long for that to happen

Especially since it would be coming right after E3 week and the crippling news that comes from there.

 

[Daemul]

Before I forget, I need to post this.

Sales are well deserved.

 

[Trevelyon]

I normally don't comment in these threads but that top ten is depressing.

All SKU #s are generally depressing. See PAL threads.

 

[kobashi100]

3DS numbers are bad as usual. Smash on 3DS will be one of the more interesting sales age stories to watch. I've been on the side that it won't do as well as the Wii U version in the west, and will fail to do that much as the local mp is so important.

smash will be a huge hit on 3DS..

 

[QaaQer]

So, wait... The people who are making fun of XO's numbers have no idea how much higher PS4 numbers are? All we know is that they're higher, but... what if they're only 10-15k higher?

Then we'll make fun of that too.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I can't tell if Kinect Sports Rivals was a bomb or not.

Xbox One and Xbox 360 together held eight of the top 10 spots on the generation eight and generation seven console game list in the U.S.: “Titanfall” (Xbox One), “Kinect Sports Rivals” (Xbox One), “Titanfall” (Xbox 360), “Call of Duty: Ghosts” (Xbox 360), “NBA 2K14” (Xbox 360), “Grand Theft Auto V” (Xbox 360), “Minecraft” (Xbox 360) and “Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare” (Xbox 360).

I don't see Kinect Sports up on that list though? Any ideas how well the game performed?

 

[Tsundere]

Price isn't going to affect Xbox One sales much... It's going to funny to see how Microsoft reacts in June.

 

[KingSnake]

The funny thing is, I think Wii U LTD hardware sales are also up about 80 percent over last year. So the per-user software sales are flat.

It doesn't work like that. Because not only the new owners of Wii Us are buying new software.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Would it make such a difference if the PS4 was a few thousand units over/under 200k?

 

[Kiote]

People is getting crazy in this thread. Time to bail out.

Spoiler

Please god, let WiiU be the best selling console in May. I want to see the meltdowns.

lol That would be pretty Epic, but the only thing that could stop the PS4, at this point, is Destiny being a total Flop.

 

[benny_a]

Well it's a good thing it's not under 200k. "Almost 2:1" of 115k doesn't make 30,000+ under "almost".

You don't know the numbers.

And Opus not being banned even though a mod is here gives credence to what is said.

 

[Guevara]

This just feeds my speculation

Spoiler

fantasy

that Microsoft will spinoff the Xbox.

 

[MikeE21286]

Damn DS2

 

[Visualante2]

I hope Microsoft works well under pressure.

What are you even talking about?

 

[zewone]

so neither titanfall or infamous were system sellers?

Is there such a thing as a single game system seller anymore?

 

[Graphics Horse]

I don't see Kinect Sports up on that list though? Any ideas how well the game performed?

I'm assuming it was bad enough for them to jettison Kinect.

 

[Joe_Incognito]

Question:

How long can the NPD group continue to not track digital sales and still remain relevant?

By their own admission the NPD group only covers 60% of the US market.

"The NPD Group’s total US numbers are based on reports from around 60 percent of US retailers."

Taken from one of their own PR statements.

So how long before NPD starts providing digital sales numbers? And how would that work? Would they have to partner with the various content providers? Would they simply provide estimates?

 

[diablos991]

When do we get the raw numbers for Sony consoles?

 

[Immaculate]

3DS numbers are bad as usual. Smash on 3DS will be one of the more interesting sales age stories to watch. I've been on the side that it won't do as well as the Wii U version in the west, and will fail to do that much as the local mp is so important.

We got 3ds numbers?

 

[CadetMahoney]

Please god, let WiiU be the best selling console in May. I want to see the meltdowns.

You expect it to outsell PS4, and ppl call me delusional. There will still be meltdowns if it beats xbox.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

All through this thread I kept wondering why everyone was think May would drop like a brick for Xbone and I didn't understand, I really totally forgot the price drop isn't until June.
Shit, gonna be a rough few weeks at MS HQ.

 

[Loudninja]

When do we get the raw numbers for Sony consoles?

Never usually.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Really surprised Infamous isn't on the charts this month. It's one of the first games I plan on buying when I eventually get a PS4.

 

[EGOMON]

Those confused by this ^ tweet, he meant top selling software on next-gen consoles only means ISS (PS4) > Titanfall, COD, etc (XBO)

but but the 3DS version releasing first ensures that more people will double dip!
(I personally think the 3DS version will do better, but the hilarious thing is if it doesn't all the Nintendo fans claiming the Wii U version would do better just cut off their nose to spite their face)
