If Sony had a million more unit to sell they would have easily sold that, MS met the US demand much better you could easily get One almost at all times, but that was Sony's mistake they should have focus more on US because that's where they were weakest last gen.

 

[Maedhros]

$20 says it will. Unless they kill it off before 2016.

I won't bet shit, but it's my guess. They'll have a new portable announced by 2015/early 2016.

[darkside31337]

Quite the power gap between CoD and BF4. Killzone did pretty well considering how average it is. Not surprised at Knack's mediocre result though. Didn't sync up well with the typical US early adopter and reviewed poorly.

Is that Knack number even mediocre? Game was poorly received and it looks like it has sold pretty close to what GT6 has sold so far.

Though not pertaining to NPD results, the following is interesting:

Nintendo of France GM Philippe Lavoue, has shared some 2013 sales numbers for Pokemon X & Y, Wii U, 3DS, 3DS, and Super Mario 3D World.

“3DS: 1 million+ (64% plus year over year) YTD (over the expectations)”
2DS: 180k
Pokemon X and Y: 584k YTD
The Wii U sold 178k in 2013 in France.
3D World: 98k YTD

http://www.challenges.fr/high-tech/20140116.CHA9317/pourquoi-nintendo-pense-faire-mieux-que-sony-et-microsoft.html

How much did 3DS sell in the U.K. for comparison, 550k?

France did double damn.

3D World sold almost 100k in France alone ! Some people in the Media Create thread were convinced 3D Worlds full Euro sales to date couldn't match November's NPD number lol...

 

[Riki]

WiiU is in a similar way in Europe. It's not exactly doing well anywhere, but it's doing exceptionally bad in Europe. Bad enough to question how long it will have a shelf life there.

Two platforms performing this badly, while the prior market leader in the handheld market is seeing a drastic contraction of that market makes me queasy. Market crash is real people! And it's coming from the casuals! Batten down the hatches!

Casuals are a fleeing! They who make up 80% of a console sales are being zapped away! Some mysterious enigmatic force!

I just peed...

Yeah, the future of the gaming business as we know it is very worrying right now.

 

[Mass Effect]

Ouch at Knack and to a lesser extent the KZ:SF ltd numbers :/

Personally I think those Killzone numbers are pretty decent. It will definitely be a million-seller (worldwide) by the end of FY 13.

 

[Hugh Buelow]

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone, but I have no idea what I'm looking at. Why do so em have two numbers? What the heck is logo?

The last line explains it all. Except logo.

 

[Currygan]

It is Mortimer, dude.

*shrugs* I really don't know what's the story mate

You can check his post history, and he has some info. But it makes sense, Vita has to hit 6M one of this months, 2.5M are in Japan, and we know that USA is not setting the charts on fire with Vita.We have the percentage charts from Nintendo with no numbers. That's the problem with EU, we do not have a media blow out as with NPD.

interesting, and it indeed makes sense. With these numbers I'd have expected Sony EU to comment about it, you could almost spin them in a decent way. Apparently they think they can't

 

[Loudninja]

KZ was the top selling PS4 game in the UK in 2013 as well.

[apana]

Sony really need to get out of the handheld market and focus exclusively on PS4. MS did better than I thought they would, they have rebounded quite nicely. Their marketing has actually been a bit better than PS4.

 

[Celine]

3DS won't reach 80M.

Dedicated handheld are really dying... =/

3DS is outpacing PSP.

We don't know for how long Nintendo intend to support the system before a successor though.

That's totally possible, but i'd still bet on it getting to 80 if it was succeeded in 2016. It needs like 38 million more (roughly speaking)? I reckon it will stop short of 90 without a breakthrough, but I think 80 should be do-able.

it's because they actually can't
in fact, if mortimer is going with that 6 million WW figure, combined with his previous 2 million for NA.....that means Europe<NA for Vita

......no, even I can't believe that's true

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Let's say he won his tag.

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

MS's numbers bringing the fanboy salt and tears. Good stuff.

And lol at Greenberg trolling and messing it up with the third party numbers.

What?

 

[allan-bh]

You have your symbols backwards.

550k < Knack + KZ < 650k

600k is in between those numbers.

 

[Loudninja]

Lego I think.

creamsugar's numbers are YTD too.

 

[leatherhat]

That could honestly be worse. I expect there were a lot of digital purchased too due to the sales.

 

[Griss]

Is that Knack number even mediocre? Game was poorly received and it looks like it has sold pretty close to what GT6 has sold so far.

It was one of two launch exclusives, which you always expect to do fairly well, and it was the only really kid-friendly title for those picking up a system who also have little kids.

I don't know, if they'd made a better game I could have seen 250k, easy. But they didn't.

Damn it, I messed up that one

 

[mr stroke]

Woah#Vita sales.

I thought PS4 hype was having a small positive effect in other parts of the world, so at least it would perform decently in the US.

That number is abysmal. PS4/XBOne launches have left people with no money for dead systems, it seems. Let's hope it picks up a little in 2014, because anyone developing a Vita game must be on suicide watch right now.

Other than that, PS4 seems to be supply constrained worldwide while MS is focusing all their efforts in the US/UK combo.

Wii U doing Gamecube numbers, but overall weak considering Christmas sales are always a strong point for Nintendo systems. 3DS doing great as expected.

Isn't the Wii U doing worse than Gamecube?

 

[Linkhero1]

I won't bet shit, but it's my guess. They'll have a new portable announced by 2015/early 2016.

I was about to say that I think it would be a dumb move to do that but then I realized the 3DS launched in 2011. Time flies. I can see them releasing the next handheld in 2016.

Isn't the Wii U doing worse than Gamecube?

yes lol

 

[Exile20]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

WHAT!?!?!?!

 

[Slashlen]

What?

MS is responsible for the Vita numbers. They couldn't beat the PS4 LTD, so they hit Sony where they're weak.

 

[darkside31337]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

Oh wow thats quite the jump for its second month.

Still depressing as all hell though

 

[ethomaz]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

Not bad for these Vita sales.

 

[VanWinkle]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

I hope they make enough WW to have made a profit with it. Such an amazing game.

 

[Bowler]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

Such a shame

 

[Lambtron]

Oh wow thats quite the jump for its second month.

Wasn't it $20 all month? I assume that helped a ton.

 

[DaBoss]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

What was its sales in November?

 

[theprodigy]

Tearaway and Knack should've flipped their WW sales

 

[Maedhros]

3DS is outpacing PSP.

We don't know for how long Nintendo intend to support the system before a successor though.

By a small margin, and getting tighter every years, am I wrong?

The 3DS peaked already.

 

[StoopKid]

PSV TEARAWAY ~ 50k (LTD)

Damn it sold close to 40k just in December.

 

[ethomaz]

What was its sales in November?

~18k? I didn't remember.

 

[Guymelef]

So COD Ghost sold more in PS4 than PS3.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I hope Tearaway did decent digtally. It was half off on PSN in December.

 

[Hugh Buelow]

/shrug maybe I'm too old for this shit, lol. I still don't get it.

Heh. The two numbers are there because there is a large gap between the two. When the gap is smaller, there's just one number. For example:

cod>800k>600k>bf>550k>ac

 

[Griss]

Oh wow thats quite the jump for its second month.

Still depressing as all hell though

That's LTD, so it's not all jumpage.

 

[ascii42]

Damn it sold close to 40k just in December.

And that's just retail. Probably did pretty well digitally, too. I wish Sony'd give those numbers.
