Thanks so probably safe to assume 46M at least for PS2. Not sure 360 has another 4 million left in its tank in the US
RE: Nintendo:
Mario Kart is catnip for casuals. Smash Bros. is crack for (a lot of) hardcore gamers. These are two of the few aces Nintendo has left (maybe even the only two, right now) but I can actually see them change things around for Nintendo if they push them correctly (cheap bundles, etc.).
What do you think the chances are for Nintendo of getting in second place this gen?
With the small userbase, I fully expect a ridiculously high attach rate for Mario Kart.
This month, Nintendo (the publisher) derived 29% of its software revenues from Wii U.
Software revenue (dollars) is down by -16.5% from last year.
3DS is down from 230K last year to 159K.
Wii U is barely up from 68K last year to 70K.
Wii is down from 91K last year to 28K.
DS is down from 86K last year to dead.
Now you see why they didn't do a PR statement. It's hard to spin those results. :-(
The 360 is selling around what the PS2 was when we stopped getting numbers for it, so not unless it has much better legs than the PS2 did from here on out.
So will we get any Sony PR?
This. It has hurt sony, though, not having that iconic IP of their own that helps when other things fail. See Mario or Halo.
Gran Turismo is that iconic brand. Hard to make a GTR your platform mascot though lol
There's a couple ways to grow mindshare of your platform, and one of the ways is having exclusive 3rd party titles. I just think it's a worthwhile move for Sony to consider again, now that it looks like it can be affordable.
I dunno, what are the chances the Xbox One gets discontinued before the end of this year?
I don't, given other games like Super Mario 3D World haven't (and before someone pulls Nintendo shipment figures, look at the actual Media Create/NPD sales).
Just bought GEX, regretted it immediately on firing it up lol. Memories best left untouched I suppose.
What the.. you don't consider SM3DW's attach rate to be high? (And no I'm not talking about Nintendo's shipped figures.)
And historically Kart gets a higher attach rate than any mainline mario games (2D or 3D).

I assume "ridiculously high attach rate" is supposed to mean a higher one than its predecessors, not simply on par.
Didn't the PS2 end up between 53 and 54 million in the US?
I'm pretty sure SM3DW has a higher attach rate at this point than either Galaxy game, by a wide margin. With NSMBW it's probably closer.
The small user base very likely has a higher percentage of diehard Nintendo fans than the Wii (or 3DS for that matter) base.
I could easily see an attach rate north of 40% after a few months as at least a possibility on the table, which would be I believe somewhat higher than MKWii's attach rate (albeit including some heavy bundling late in the lifespan).

That's more likely a "North America" figure. No way it made it to 50m in the US.
You're right, I think the person who wrote it did write NA actually. My bad.

Ha, shouldve checked out some vids to remember those days, I find it hard to play those games these days unless its something like vagrant story or FF.
Aquamarine, what is the meaning of life?

But, there is a silver lining to all of this.
When I go to Uni I'm getting a WiiU so I can make friends and have good party games.
So they have that going for them.
I was one of those 425,134 people in the USA who bought the Wii U in its launch month.
16 months later, I've gotten many times more than my money's worth out of it.
A great purchase if you love Nintendo games.

Microsoft is going to be silent on hardware. They always have been. Shouldn't expect any different this time around.
I wonder if MS will ever make money on a console. Seems like they are in a big hole right now with the XB1 and will have to cut price and spend more in the future.
Nadella should just cut the entire branch.
I believe they made with X360.
Wonder how the Xbox 2 and ps5 will start off. Now both makers had less than successful launches so it will be interesting to see the approach that they will take.
Microsoft PR:
"With Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined, the Xbox platform sold the most games across all console platforms with 4.1 million games sold. Xbox One sold 1.4 million games in March and Xbox 360 sold 2.7 million, totaling 49 percent of the total software market share (Xbox 360 and Xbox One combined). "
Do we know how the Wii sold in Jan and Feb?
Took me awhile -- got sidetracked by real life.
Last version. =P
Please stop showing charts comparing shipped vs sold. It's embarrassing. That's for sloppy journalists. If your comparing hardware at least use one that gives an accurate picture like:
Ok, so ps4 is the obvious winner. But xbone sales are not bad at all, and are clearly way above wii u. Ms will stay in 2nd place this gen and will make money. I don't see what the big deal is and why it's so shocking? I mean, ps4 has had more hype and positive press since feb 2013, nothing is going to stop that. The real loser here is Nintendo as far as I can see. Their presence is totally non existent on this npd yet everyone is focused on how bad ms is doing. A huh...
Man, I think this is the best NPD we'll see for years.
I think the NPD where Microsoft drops the price of the XB1 to $399 will be just as interesting.
