[Abdiel]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

Haha! No. Not doubled again.

The wording there would imply that it kept a similar weekly sales level, it didn't crater beyond the drop from a 5 week month to a 4 week. Which is about what we've seen at our stores, anyway.

 

[Guevara]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No, sales doubled in June, they are "steady" for July

 

[Moonstone]

Wow at Fifa at #3! What happend to Madden?

 

[Ethelwulf]

BanderasJoel.gif. No other way to describe it.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Already done. WiiU ~81k.

Thats it? Thats the Mario Kart bump?

Damn, thought it would do better.

 

[TheOctodad]

The only chance Microsoft has to top Sony in sales is the Master Chief Collection. I doubt it will give the Xbox One enough momentum to topple the PS4 though.

I think the MC Collection will do some damage, but not enough. Then in February with The Order 1886 and multiplats like the Witcher 3 and Evolve ... lawdy lawdy. It's not going to be pretty if Watchdogs is an indicator.

With Watchdogs sales looking like they are. Wonder how CD is feeling about Tomb Raider.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Is there anything this month that will dethrone TLOU?

Diablo III possibly but defo Madden.

 

[Raist]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No, they're talking about last month performance for some reason.

 

[Neuromancer]

1. The Last of Us (PS4, PS3)

 

[Welfare]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No, they were still talking about June's numbers.

 

[darkside31337]

Offset by digital perhaps?

Aquamarine plz...

Primary reason software is down yoy is because EA stopped making NCAA games.

 

[ascii42]

TLOU was out for 3 days not 5 but your point still stands

The period covered is July 6-August 2, so it was out for 5 days.

 

[C4Lukins]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No they are not saying that. All you can really deduce from that statement is that July was better then May.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Tracking period ended on August 2nd.

Okay thanks for the correction .

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Naughty Dog

Awesome.

 

[Morfeo]

Well, they you have it. Wow.

Holy shit this is amazing lol.

 

[Jomjom]

That would suggest XB1 sold 394,000 units in July which they didn't else they would be singing it from the rooftops

They're clearly referring to the doubling of sales that happened in June



December 2013 by about 50k during heavy PS4 shortages

Yeah that makes sense. Their wording is kind of weird.

 

[Suzushiiro]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No, they're saying sales are still steady since the month when it doubled, which implies that they didn't sell significantly more or less than June.

 

[onQ123]

It's interesting how the ps3 version of watch dogs outsold the xb1 version.

Just as interesting is the xb1 version of ghosts leads all platforms.

Xbox One Ghost was cut to like $25

 

[AgentP]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

No, they were referring to June. They don't say anything July.

 

[Phediuk]

Already done. WiiU ~81k.

lol. So much for Mario Kart "saving" the Wii U.

 

[Fun Factor]

* Sony #1 as usual*
* No Titanfall *

Titanfall is dead & buried!

 

[Bigfroth]

WOW congrats Sony #1

 

[MattPeters]

Well, they you have it. Wow.

Never seen that before lol. Amazing.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

That would suggest XB1 sold 394,000 units in July which they didn't else they would be singing it from the rooftops

They're clearly referring to the doubling of sales that happened in June



December 2013 by about 50k during heavy PS4 shortages

They said "the momentum continued" as in, sales either stayed the same (good) or increased.

 

[prag16]

Thats it? Thats the Mario Kart bump?

Damn, thought it would do better.

Last month was a lot higher. That was the bump. Though a better hold from that would have been nice.

 

[RE_Player]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

Not yet.

Edit: Correction December 2013.

 

[Kusagari]

The Bone copy of Ghosts has been reduced for a while, but places went crazy in July.

It culminated in Rakuten selling it for 5 bucks.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Wait a minute: did TLOU:R was the best selling game even though was tracked for 5 days only? 0.0

 

[ethomaz]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

December when you can't find one PS4 in stores.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Shock and awe.

Now we wait for Lord CS.

 

[LOCK]

I think Nintendo did ok.

Sony did great,

Microsoft is unknown.

 

[SDCowboy]

And for August, Sony has continued TLOUR and Diablo. Should be another great month.

 

[Aquamarine]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

December 2013

PS4 - 863K

XBO - 908K


That's it.

 

[phanphare]

last july, the last of us, minecraft and an american football game made up the top three.

this july, the last of us, minecraft and a football game made up the top three.

and people say this industry is spinning its wheels.

you...

 

[OléGunner]

Glad to see Naughty Dog claiming top spot for software! TLoU is a true masterpiece

 

[N.Domixis]

Amazing, congrats SONY.


MS PR should have been "Welp"

 

[SmokyDave]

Nice result for TLoU. Deserves that top spot.

Wii U bump didn't happen then. I'm truly shocked, honest.

 

[ElTorro]

Need the combo for this thread.

 

[Xpliskin]

What a headstart

 

[AdanVC]

Go Mario Brothers Karting 8! Go! Glad to see it for the second month on the top ten

 

[Hubb]

Figured TLoU would be number 1. The question is, what will the numbers be.

 

[Markitron]

December 2013

PS4 - 863K

XBO - 908K


That's it.

Wasn't this because it was almost impossible to get a PS4?

 

[Gator86]

And for August, Sony has continued TLOUR and Diablo. Should be another great month.

Then Destiny the next month. September is going to be hilarious. I wonder how high their numbers go.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Microsoft also released a statement, but it was even less specific than Nintendo.

“Xbox One continues to sell at a strong and steady pace following the release of the $399 console in June, when month-to-month sales more than doubled,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “We continued to see this momentum in July.”​

strong and steady

Wasn't Nintendo's really specific? With SKU rankings and numbers?

 

[gtj1092]

Wasn't COD ghost for X1 practically given away in July for 19.99 or less at many retailers.

 

[Shizuka]

Curious about One Piece sales number.

 

[Namikaze1]

Not surprised at Minecraft's legs. I work retail (Walmart) and it's one of the games so many parents have been buying for their kids lately. I also wouldn't be surprise if the Vita has its lowest month yet. My store still has not gotten any Vita shipment. Had to tell a customer to either order online or check a local GameStop for one.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

lol. So much for Mario Kart "saving" the Wii U.

Wait for the word of mouth of Mario Kart 8 and the Treehouse awesome stream at E3 to spread a too, and you'll see...


You'll seeeeee....
