Quite a drop for PS4, hopefully August will fare better with TLOU driving some hardware sales. September has Destiny so I expect huge numbers then.

And there it is. Saved by Aqua. I think weve found the one's baseline
That would make whatever country you're in a "tier 1." The "tier" thing is a Microsoft term used to indicate the order of release for the Xbox One. Tier 1 countries first, Tier 2 countries second, etc. The fact you got PS4 before Japan means your country, by definition in PS4 terms, could not be a tier 3. Not sure what your country is, but don't get the "tier" thing confused with first/second/third-world definitions.
Thank you!!
Crap. I raised my PS4 figure after the 10m math in the prediction thread said 358K. Had it at 192K originally, I think, and raised it to 220K. :lol

Is it normal for July to be less than June? Kinda surprised PS4 is under 200k.

Mediocre month for everyone.
Let's see how August fares.

Uh oh. Bad numbers for a leading console and all around.
This leads me to believe PS4 is also suffering from frontloaded numbers due to last gen exhaustation and that the market for home consoles has undoubtedly shrinked in the US.
Christmas will reveal the truth.

This is actually the lowest month for the PS4 in recorded NPD history since the PS4 was released last year.
The PS4 had never really dipped below ~200k in any other month.
Thanks again for the numbers Aquamarine.
I think so yeah, June is helped by the E3 hype and July is always a slow month games wise.
This right here tells you MS can win back America. XB1 figure is terribad obviously, but the PS4 one, for a leading console with the competition failing? That's an awful number.
PS4 is no Wii/PS2 juggernaut at the moment.
That's a bit disappointing when it comes to the PS4. How much did the Wii sell in July 2007?
4-week month (July) vs. 5-week month (June) so absolutely. On a weekly average basis, there's usually a small drop, as well.
I bet the first country. I think they are cheaper, hence retailer bought from Sony Singapore instead from Sony Malaysia. It's $513 vs $600 in official Sony store.
My guess is the White Destiny Bundle pre-orders had an impact on overall sales for July.

Does anyone know how much tlou sold?
Man, this makes the PS4 number even more disappointing. The PS4 must be doing much better outside of North America and Japan.

First time I wake up in the morning to see the NPD results and we still don't have any numbers, so disappointed
Ditto! Toyed with staying awake when they relaesed them at 11:30pm (local time) & really couldn't be bothered so jogged on to bed!

Ooooof...that's pretty mediocre.
Estimated lifetime this time last month?

It's pretty much the same, as buying a Blu-Ray version of your favorite film. No-one wonders why people do that, eventhough they're essentially remasters as well.

I get that but it's still well under the adjusted June number of 215k. The per-week sales are down by around 13%, from 53.75k/wk to 46.75/wk.

Hmm, that's a tough one.
Normally I would say Singapore because their SKU is cheaper, but import retailers here aren't making their SG model prices cheaper than local prices.

Wii LTD as of July 2007 - 3.61 million
Wii LTD as of August 2007 - 4.02 million
PS4 need to sell more than 260k next month to not fall behind the Wii.

Who said
PS4+XBO = ~384K
When according to Aquamarine
(PS4 - 187K + XBO - 131K) = 318K

Yes I understand them, just joking with you. Sony didn't use the term tier in which country they release their console. On the other hand, in term of Microsoft tier, my country is not in any tier as far as I know. Probably tier oblivion.

It's becoming really hard for the video game industry to try to spin the numbers, the market contraction is so brutal.

This definitely puts things into perspective on my end.
Man, the PS2 and Wii kicked all kinds of butts.
...If I could screw around with time I'd pit them against each other just to see what would happen.

July NPD counted up until 13 days ago. Still looking at 6+ million in sales outside of the states.

Yes, US school holidays start in June, any parent or college student buying a console for the summer will buy in June. The MoM drop is expected, but I don't think anyone expected it to be as large, it is a 20% fall in the weekly sales rate, I expected around an 8-10% fall.
We will see how August is, but with the majority of consumer spending moving towards back to school products like laptops, tablets and clothes consoles may be squeezed again. I still think releasing TLOU:R in August was a mistake, Sony should have capitalised on a barren summer and released it in June to coincide with the start of the holiday. I think the game would have performed better and hardware would have seen a bigger boost. I guess it just wasn't ready on time...

And this is not even 2008-2009 (when the Wii/DS used to sell 600-700k in regular months like this)

WiiU numbers?Up or down from 100k?
Yes, someone has to be wrong here? I hope Aqua, because PS4 sales would destroy my predication.
Edit: Ah yes, it was PS4+PS3 > XB1 + WiiU. :/
So the Wii was doing better than the PS4 and the Bone combined.

Have to put most of that on Nintendo. The PS3/360 successors are right on par with those sales.

Conflicting reports on this right now. The numbers don't add up.
edit: nvm it was ps4+ps3
