360 was supply constrained until 6 months after lauch (April 2006).
Same.
Edit:
It's the Twilight Princess from Zelda:TP after having stuffed Welfare into the hole in her middle cavity that most of us would have filled with organs and the like. Lesson: Never go in with a bet against Ryng_Tolu when an avatar is on the line! :lol :lol :lol *falls over*
Yeah... It's terrible ahahah

I am so happy now that I already exchanged shame avatars with Ryng for a bet that might end in 2 years or so when he was still fresh and innocent.

So how many copies do we think GTA V has sold now across all platforms?

There's plenty of uncomfortable genres and fetishes out there.
Be glad if you could find something that you haven't delved into and be exposed to more facets of our species and embrace the rich diversity of ideas that we as a species have.

And the Xbone was supply constrained for 0 months after launch (November 2013).

So since there's the "no competition" argument on the Wii U...
In a parallel world, If SF was console exclusive to the lowly Wii U, it would've sold a lot more than it did on PS4 World Wide then.
going by that logic....
Alright, so, here even a 3DS yearly comparation.
2016 so far is the second is one of the worst year, but is still doing more than in 2014. I think 3DS is by far from "death" at this point. I thought it would be way worse, but with that sales furing Q1, and an official annunced pricedrop for this holidays + Pokémon Sun / moon, i can see 3DS have a not bad year.
It can still sell close to 2 million.

Of course.
Maybe if Halo 5 was a Wii U exclusive it could've actually outsold Splatoon... Oh well.

woah, where did that spike come from in 2015? New 3DS? the greatest game of all time, Majora's Mask, being re-released on 3DS?
Great second month for Primal.
Last month an user posted it sold over 18 million lifetime. Though this is withouth bundle, so it must be well over that.

I'm surprised to see Pokken on there, since it doesn't seem to be that popular on GAF. Hopefully the sales are good enough to make a sequel, because the game is pretty good. I feel like a lot of people think it's CyberConnect Naruto or Tekken and have written it off, but it's actually not a whole lot like either one of those.
Yup, the New 3DS did really good at launch and has boosted 3DS to over 395,000 unit in February 2015.
Too bad the holidays line up was super bad, and in the end 2015 was the worse year...

Classic trap.
yeah I remember the rest of the year being real shitty, made me forget how strong those first three months were lol.

...yeah, it's dead alright. The first Mario & Sonic game for handhelds / the 3DS since the 2012 London installment (the 2014 Sochi installment was Wii U exclusive) and the game still didn't chart, let alone even crack 100K units (and it was the only new game that failed to do so--Hyrule Warriors can be excused due to it being released two years ago).
Pretty bad sign as the 3DS version will likely have to make up the lion's share of sales; Sochi 2014 cratering in sales showed the Wii U alone can't support a M&S title (which doesn't exactly make things rosy for the forthcoming Wii U version).
Mediocre reviews (50.75% GR and 59 on MC, making it among the worst-aggregate scored M&S games on both sites) can't be helping much either.

Speaking for myself, who has pretty much given up on the genre, it's because all the games start to seem the same. When I see a new game advertised, especially the more sim ones, I don't envision a gameplay experience much different from what I could pop in my console and play right now. I'm a casual when it comes to racing so maybe that isn't the case for someone more hardcore, but for me the subtle differences between games are lost and new tracks don't mean much to me.
Another thing is that what I'm looking for in a racer doesn't seem to exist anymore. I want an arcade (to add variety) racer with splitscreen for local competition. It seems like those kind of games were cursed last gen. Blur and Split/Second came out within a week of one another splitting the market. Motorstorm Apocalypse's launch got derailed by the Japanese earthquake. It looks like those three failures killed the part of the genre that would have kept me interested. Btw, I'd buy a remake of any of those games in a hot second.
Once again that is just my own personal point of view and reflects why I don't in general buy racing games anymore. I did eventually buy DriveClub but that was only for the visuals and the fact that it was on sale.
I don't always keep up with these threads all that much (especially in regards to handhelds). I'm curious though. Was N3DSXL considered a part of 3DS sales? Or was it individually reported?
Just wondering what's going to happen if/when ps4k or xbo.5 launch. Will we get an idea of their individual performance numbers or will they be considered a part of ps4/xbo respectively.
Does NPD determine what sku should be considered a brand new entry/system and be reported seperately, or is it up to the manufacture to state that it should be a new entry and stated/tracked separately? I'm guessing NPD probably has very detailed statistics of every different sku that get simplified/grouped together eventually based off whatever policy is in place.

I assume it will be the same as N3DS.
I don't know if you saw it, but is from last page i stopped talk about this.
But you are right lol Let's get over this.Yes, 3DS is part of 3DS sales of course. And PS4K / XB1.5 of course will be part of PS4/XB1 sales as well.

Good question. I'd say NPD decides. And it depends on if it's just a modification/small upgrade like a slim, XXL or huge leap.
Bssically: if it plays the same discs it should be counted as the same console.
CosmicQueso
Member
Curious on that myself.
I imagine if the system needs a different game disc it would be split out?
Also super curious on how/if VR HW is reported.

I'm just teasing you brotha, its all good
Imo if/ when the iterations are released numbers will probably be merged, and instead of calling the PS4 or XB1 a "console" they would refer to it as a "platform" is my guess.

Sony be like:
Thanks everyone for buying boatloads of our console, we really appreciate it.
Microsoft be like:
Hey guys, thanks for buying games and... stuff.

Good catch. I'm sure MS is thrilled they're still behind in one of the two regions they dominated in last generation.

Me too. If they stick to the rules, it's an accessory like a plastic Guitar, a Wii crossbow or a balance board.
On the other hand it's an accessory that's more expensive than the console itself.
EviLore said it should be treated as a platform. And if EviLore says it's a platform, it's a platform.
So, here how is looking the first quarter of sales for all console.
2014 to 2016.

Going by the straw man version of the logic, sure.
There are lots of factors that influence how well something sells. Why people, particularly WiiU fans, try to pretend competition isn't one of them I wish I knew.
To be fair, it's pretty much about the context in which MS themselves choose to look at it.
If the context is "how bad would it be if we hadn't 180'd the hell out of our console and leveraged our Win10/ OS development abilities?" then the result would probably "We're ok, could have been worse"
Now, if the context is "We were very strong #2 in the US with a shot at being the undisputed #2 last gen WW (looks like they missed by a hair in the end), and with the inertia and our strengths we definitely were looking at being undisputed #1 WW or at the very least strong #2 WW and big time #1 on our home turf this gen", then the result could be seen as a disaster indeed.

Fair enough.
Well leadership has changed, focus has changed, hell even the metrics used to talk to the investment community have changed. Who knows? In 2 months the whole product itself could change! So it's obviously not rock and roll good times.
People keep saying last year's E3 can't be beat. But from a state of the industry, what is the future of console gaming, this is the most important and meaningful E3 perhaps in history. Cannot wait to see what insanity comes out of it.

No idea how long it would take, 4 months was just a random example
I just mean that people would have to wait regardless even if they went the route with finishing basically everything first, doing a traditional release instead.Yeah, that would be the traditional way of doing it, "finishing" the game and releasing it like that instead of releasing it earlier on with less content, then updating with new content later on.
I wouldnt say that the launch roster is incredible lackluster. There were 16 characters at launch, four (or five if Karin is included) being brand new characters. Noticable less than e.g Mortal Kombat X that had 24 characters at launch, and maybe less than expected by many but 16 is still a decent number, in my opinion. Could maybe be one factor to the lower sales though.
Basically for February / March XBO is not that difference in all 3 years. 2016 is the worse, but not by much.
March is a bit more interesting.
2014 was a bit under 2015 in both February and March (141,000 VS 150,000 / 258,000 VS 276,000), but then there is that Titanfall month, with XB1 at 311,000 unit sold.
March alone make 2014 the best year for the first 3 months.
About 2016... well, this March was definitively not good. Not even bad... just meh.
It sold barely more than what sold in 2015, 229,000 VS 242,000.
This even if:
1 - March 2015 was a normal month withouth any hardware impact, while this time XBO got an official temporaney pricedrop
2 - The bigger game in March 2015 was Battlefield Hardline which sold only half of what sold The Division on XBO.
2016 is very disappoint so far. Also, not a single month of 2016 is better than 2014. Not even one. This is just embarrassing. In 2014 XBO was selling for $500, damn...
