Mario Kart will give Wii U it's biggest non holiday month. Expecting 150k-300k.

Then it'll drop off again...

 

[Mr. Waffle]

Phil Harrison = Sony
Phil Spencer = Microsoft Game Studios

Then again judging by your post history I don't think this would mean anything to you, bye

That's right... knew there was a Phil at some point.

 

[quetz67]

So I was right MS would announce 5M shipped WW. What is the estimate on sold through doubling NPD for the rest of the world?

 

[ascii42]

Hearing about PSP sales makes me want to find a new PSP-3000 for under $100 in a Godforsaken endcap at a K-Mart somewhere. Buying it would feel disrespectful to the system's legacy, yet oddly satisfying.

I bought a new PS2 from a walmart last year. Disrespectful yet oddly satisfying about sums it up

 

[tapedeck]

Wow..I honestly expected Xbone to beat PS4 in March with Titanfall, Sony cant be stopped right now. Still TF obviously sold very well and MS cant be that disappointed considering their console is putting up respectable numbers while costing 100 bucks more than PS4.

As for Wii U, if Mario Kart 8 doesnt make a huge impact on sales this summer then I think we can finally call it 100% dead. An MK8 bundle at the right price could REALLY sell a shitload of systems, I know thats what Im waiting for. $199.99 MK8 bundle about a month after the game drops would be perfect.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Part of me's glad the PSP's still selling, however another part of me's thinking "how are they still selling?!"

Does it even still get current releases?

 

[outunderthestars]

I guess I'm really more surprised people are still buying PSPs. Great system that it was, though, I adored mine.

Well 3 people per state bought one every day. I think that barely qualifies as "people still buying" something.

 

[nelchaar]

You can't sell a product that nobody wants.

Then they got to make people want it. Or else, what exactly is the purpose of the Vita? Make a Vita/PS4 bundle already. Or here's a crazy idea.. Why don't they bring Vita TV to the west finally?

 

[N.Domixis]

My predictions weren't too bad for March:

[XB1] 303K
[PS4] 320K
[3DS] 167K
[360] 119K
[PS3] 98K
[WIU] 76K
[PSV] 53k

I think I might actually place somewhere decent this time.

heres mine pretty close with ps4
[XB1] 380K
[3DS] 230K
[PS4] 380K
[360] 150K
[PS3] 170K
[WIU] 50K

 

[StoopKid]

I would be legit shocked if wii u did 300k in may.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

It had two GTAs........

 

[SwiftDeath]

Screw it I'm a thousand posts behind, I give up

Titanfall seems to have sold very very well if I'm reading the situation right

ISS did almost exactly as I predicted. Still great numbers for Sucker Punch

Dark Souls numbers are a bit disappointing I think, can't remember Dark Souls I numbers

Stick of truth did really really well though, also suggests 440k < ISS < 500k

Wii U is moving into dead place, Vita into being buried under dreamcasts shallow grave at this rate

 

[Piggus]

Was this posted?

What you need to do, Larry, is go back in time and build a console that people actually want to buy.

 

[antitrop]

Gotta keep in mind that the PSP can still do quite a bit of stuff that the Vita does.

It plays all those old PSX games, along with it's entire library, digital downloads, the memory isn't proprietary, it's far cheaper then the Vita is.

Vita's 2 major selling points vs the PSP are it's exclusive Vita games and remote play, and those aren't strong points really when you consider the system's price and again, the memory you have to buy in addition.

(This is off the top of my head, correct me if I'm wrong)

Yeah, I guess since I moved on to the Vita I forgot about the PSP, but that's pretty spot on.

 

[Syphon Filter]

< 10K for Vita? Oh for f**** sake Sony... Did you forget about it already?

wtf you sure its less than 10k?

 

[FTF]

Mario Kart will give Wii U it's biggest non holiday month. Expecting 150k-300k.

That's quite the range. Can't see it tripling or quadrupling it's usual 60-70k though.

In terms of pleasure-guilt, nothing will compare to the inevitable $100 Borderlands 2 Vita bundles on Black Friday 2014.

In the words of the immortal poet Miley for the One

We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny

 

[astrogamer]

Yes. I could be wrong, though. I'll go find some evidence.

I think the last numbers Nintendo released was that it was at 1.5million and that was for 2013. It's probably closer to 2 million now. That's like a 1/3 attach rate

 

[Marleyman]

oh right, in your universe where sony lacks communication and psn is only good because of free games.

mkay.

Great comeback.

EmptySpace]and where are those titles? all they ever did were voice commands, which you could've done using the kinect 1. where were all those tech demos of skeletal framework, infrared, heart rate crap from almost a year ago? a year has passed by and we saw no implementation of those whatsoever in any game so far.

I don't know, where are they? I didn't use the first Kinect so I can't speak on that topic. I just think a Kinect only title is going to usually suck. I would like an exception to this but there hasn't been one yet.

 

[disastermouse]

Wii u ded
Vita ded
hope ded
dreams ded

I know a few people set on getting Vitas waiting for the Borderlands bundle - I have a coworker who saw mine and said, "This is awesome, I want one!"

It won't be huge bump, but the interested parties know there's a Vita 2k bundle coming soon.

 

[Silky]

Then they got to make people want it. Or else, what exactly is the purpose of the Vita? Make a Vita/PS4 bundle already. Or here's a crazy idea.. Why don't they bring Vita TV to the west finally?

I don't think people understand how destructive/impractical a PS4/Vita bundle would be. What the hell do you price that thing at without losing money? How much will people/are people willing to pay for it? What about memory cards for the Vita? Is that included?

Vita TV..ehhh I'm not familiar with the set-top market enough to know if that'll make a difference.

I just think a Kinect only title is going to usually suck.

Then there is no point convincing you if you possess confirmation bias like that.

assuming PS3>Wii U, you got 102.86 points before counting bonuses from units, which is pretty good, but not the best

 

[AniHawk]

3DS: 11.87 million
Vita: 1.77 million

i don't think the 3ds will outsell the psp in the us at this rate. and the vita may not hit 2m.

 

[outunderthestars]

Why would people want a non-portable version of a system that nobody wants?

 

[zero_suit]

That's impressive.

Damn.

OT: This is a 10 year marathon with thousands of games, it's entirely too early to call this because we have nowhere near enough data.

 

[nelchaar]

wtf you sure its less than 10k?

Sorry. I guess it's a "little over" 10K, not less. Still horrendous.

 

[Papercuts]

Sales be damned. I still plan on buying a Wii U after I get my Xbone. It's actually starting to look pretty unique standing beside the third party twins.

It has a solid lineup that you need the console for, and I don't regret owning one. There are huge droughts inbetween the times I use it, but I've always had a great time for the games that get me to play it. Excited for Smash and Mario Kart even if there's no turning this boat around.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

An MK8 bundle at the right price could REALLY sell a shitload of systems, I know thats what Im waiting for. $199.99 MK8 bundle about a month after the game drops would be perfect.

You expect them to:

1. Bundle the game, not at release, but a month later
2. Knock off $100 while including the game

Well alright then.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Damn.

its over in terms of worldwide.

I don't think we know the PC vs XO ratio though for Titanfall sales.

 

[speculawyer]

I lost it.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Coming in real late anyone have summary of leaks???

 

[Orayn]

i don't think the 3ds will outsell the psp in the us at this rate. and the vita may not hit 2m.

How well the PSP sold everywhere was kinda surreal. In most places, the lineup was only marginally better than the Vita if we're talking about titles with mainstream appeal, yet it had bizarrely strong, sustained sales anyway.

 

[AniHawk]

nintendo never does the things that make the most sense

Don't even joke about it -_-

dam i thought people were kidding saying vita is dead.doesnt it get releases often from what i see.

 

[outunderthestars]

Widespread piracy.

That's....a large range.
150K is doable though. But not much more than that I think.


About 3DW's attach rate, isn't it above 2.25 million now? (I forgot when this number was reported.)
And aren't there less than 6 million Wii Us sold?

 

[ascii42]

i don't think the 3ds will outsell the psp in the us at this rate. and the vita may not hit 2m.

Tough to say until we see what sort of effect the Vita 2000 has. May should inform of precisely how dead the Vita is

 

[Orayn]

I don't think we know the PC vs XO ratio though for Titanfall sales.

Retail Xbone vs. retail PC, dude? We're talking like 20:1 in favor of the Xbone.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I think the last numbers Nintendo released was that it was at 1.5million and that was for 2013. It's probably closer to 2 million now. That's like a 1/3 attach rate

I stand corrected. 1.94 million, actually.

 

[Silky]

Nevermind.

 

[ambientmystic]

Catmario compiled Creamsugar's leaks here.

 

[USC-fan]

So I was right MS would announce 5M shipped WW. What is the estimate on sold through doubling NPD for the rest of the world?

No way rest of the world even comes close to matching npd numbers of xbone sold.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

marginally better?

PSP had plenty of western support. It also got two GTA games, which are extremely popular in the west.

It is kinda useless to compare the sales of a handheld like PSP in a time when mobiles/smartphones weren't the norm unlike now.

 

[ascii42]

It had 2 GTA games, Vita can only dream of something like that
