NPD Sales Results for December 2013 [Up2: Xbox One/360 HW, 3DS top system of year]

Yep, that looks correct. Man those numbers seem bad though. Only ~8% of sales are digital titles. Does not bode well for CD, PSG, KI, P2, and M:CotB. At least KI is apparently doing well enough to get a second season.

This is US LTD right?
Also, wow at Vita. Looks like PS4 didn't even help the system just like what most(?) were expecting. Who knows VitaTV could be the one helping it
a) Yes?
b) Most? I think hardly anyone rationally expected PS4 to help Vita.

Huh, it's interesting to compare 96 to the WiiU's 2nd December.
if we follow the comparison, then 2014 will mark the vita's last year on the market in the us, while it continues to get support in japan. then a trickle in 2015 and that's all she wrote.

Just Googled and found the headline "Xbox 360 Sales Pass the Wii in the US" from Nov 2013.
...
but it's a bloody ******** article, I'm sure someone posted about it in GAF without ******** involvement?

Claiming something is dead is the dumbest hyperbole ever. Until it is discontinued it is not dead. Is it doing terribly? Yes, but Sony isn't going to kill it yet.

I think what's worse than the Vita performing <100K is the fact that it collapsed from its first holiday market to its second.
At least Sega Saturn rose in its second holiday season. Vita is just on a downhill spiral in the West. :-(

GT6 mega flop confirmed. Way more than 3DWorld. Worst decision is worst to have no PS4 version ready.

Yeah, the only hope for the PS4 helping the Vita is that perhaps people didn't want to buy both at the same time, and will pick up a Vita down the road. Not much of a hope, but that's all the Vita's got.

Jesus those GT6 numbers are painful to look at.

The Vita sales number is just funny. Hope to find one on clearance for $50 in the near future.

Wii JD2014 > 800K > PS3 COD
That's true, you can drop support that doesn't exist.

There's no way I'll accept "no games" for the Vita now. It's got its got a veritable library.
I agree the price is a sticking point, but I expected some of the PS4's popularity to rub off on it, what with remote play and all.

And saying this is being really kind.
A complete and utter implosion of Sony's handheld market in America. It's pretty much nonexistent at this point. 95k units in December. Time to lose that dream Sony.

Good point.
Though I'm sure some of those units are the golf game, and I'm sure KI and Crimson Dragon make up most of the digital sales.
Edit: GT6 PS4 port would have been so smart, looking at Forza sales. Especially with drive club delay.

You know how sad it is that Nintendo would have made more money if they supported the Wii for 5 more years. They probably would have sold more than the sub 15 million Wii U is destined for as well.
And 3DS, don't forget 3DS! (Maybe DS and Wii tooVita
Super Mario 3D World LTD and Wii U Dec sales would be great cream! Thxs and good to hear from ya!
)There's no "doing abysmal" for a dead system.
I've noticed you've had somewhat of a vested interest in the Vita's sales for a long while now. Do you actually have one?

December 2012 was horrendous enough but Vita manages to defy even the most pessimistic expectations. It's really depressing how little there is of the dedicated handheld market now

yeah at this rate that would probably be like a 100% increase
from 10k to 20k
....well, you know your answer
.....
that's actually relatively likely
huh
Not everybody has put their dusty old Wiis away yet, ya know.

this just means the vita userbase is growing right?
The numbers we've ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!
Seriously though, JD has been trucking along despite its decline over the years.
So that means that this thread was premature?
Or is this a matter of WiiU>PS4 still in LTD in North America?
Regardless, WiiU is at >460k, and if it reaches >500k, that's confirmed "miracle" status.
This is US LTD right?

Those numbers are bad enough I think Sony would be insane to launch Vita TV in the US named Vita TV or at all Vita branded. They'd need to rename it, focus on its non-Vita functions, and have Vita support as a tiny, tiny footnote on the back. Because clearly the US does not give half a fuck about Vita anymore.
nope, i more dire problem shared by the wiiu. a complete lack of a market

Nope, hopefully I can pick one up with another price slash.
Good, good. I welcome our new Just Dance overlords!

See the vita sales figures really hurts me from the inside, its a great machine. I hope Vita will go cheaper now, I am sure it will help sales, but it seems like a loss cause.
Deserved. JD2014 is awesome.
Yeah... it's a huge shame too, because it's a fantastic device.
But these numbers are absolutely dire.
