370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Mario Kart 8????

 

[Crimson_Gold]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

That's a hole lot or death stares. Puts the other titles in perspective though.

But did PS4 dominate Twitter?

Tim Dog did

 

[Deku Tree]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Good numbers

 

[Welfare]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Nevermind.

 

[vinnygambini]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Dat Mario?

 

[coldone]

Wii U + XBOX family < PS4

Here is my guess.

Data used
WiiU = 60K
PS4 > WiiU + 360 + Xbox one
Total = 187M

So it has to be a tie between 360, xbox one and WiiU

 

[Aquamarine]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Seems like Nintendo's estimates (450K) overtracked sales by a bit.

Or maybe that's the shipped figures.

 

[Hexa]

ps4 beast mode?

You mean Bloodborne mode, amirite?

Spoiler

I'll see myself out.

 

[speculawyer]

Nintendo . . . back from the dead with 2 titles in the top 10 including the second place finisher. Well done.

 

[Finalizer]

Uh, wrong? PS4 has been selling very well consistently... Your ass is giving you the wrong impression, here.

Post history, etc.

 

[Ricerocket]

Wii U + XBOX family < PS4

Whoa, at first glance I thought wiiu + X1 but that is Xbox family.

 

[TheRealTalker]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

not bad for MK8


very low bundle % though

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Seems like Nintendo's estimates (450K) overtracked by a bit.

Or maybe that's the shipped figures.

Digital?

 

[Portugeezer]

Are they talking about the X1 or are they jumping ship to X2?

It's just PR.

XB1 still outselling previous Xbox consoles in the same amount of months.

 

[Huff]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

thats bad news

 

[Aquamarine]

Digital?

That could work as well.

 

[Ty4on]

Why did Microsoft announce $399 before May was over? They seriously killed any sales they could of gotten last month.

Maybe they wanted to create pent up demand so they could brag about the huge sales in June in combination with E3? Seems that way to me considering how they just ignored the NPD this month.

 

[rokkerkory]

Here is my guess.

Data used
WiiU = 60K
PS4 > WiiU + 360 + Xbox one
Total = 187M

So it has to be a tie between 360, xbox one and WiiU

Wii U price is $315?

 

[GamerJM]

That MK8 bundle did not do that well then. Really good numbers for first month considering it only had a couple days though.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Watchdogs numbers please

 

[AniHawk]

Looking at past Wii U weekly averages, the only ones lower were May-August last year. Wii U's in for some super rough times over the Summer, I'd think. MK8 June "bump" may just make it "flat" with May, then.

i think you could expect a little bit of people holding off to make a purchase. the wii u was actually up year over year before mario kart 8 came out, so a sudden downturn like that wouldn't make too much sense.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

thats bad news

I think it's good news for June though.

 

[Usobuko]

Wow, that's Xbox One and 360 + Wii U.

 

[GeeDuhb]

I severely doubt PS4 is less than 200k with that information then. Unless XB1 is like literally 60k or something truly awful

I wouldn't be surprised if the XB1 sales are worse than the Wii U sales, and thats why we aren't seeing numbers. I don't know who in their right mind would buy a $500 XB1 when it is known a price drop (albeit without Kinect) is coming.

 

[Tobor]

Nintendo fans already own Wii U's.

 

[Aquamarine]

Watchdogs numbers please

Top #3 SKUs:

#1. PS4 Watch_Dogs

#2. XBO Watch_Dogs

#3. NWU Mario Kart 8 - 370-380K


Clearly Watch_Dogs did very, very well.

 

[phanphare]

Seems like Nintendo's estimates (450K) overtracked sales by a bit.

Or maybe that's the shipped figures.

I think their estimates were also for 3 days as opposed to 2

 

[coldone]

Wii U price is $315?

- 50% mk8 bundle, 50% normal $299 SKU
- Also for 3DS.. it is hard to come up with a average price.

You can argue either way. But looks like it is a tie between Xbone and WiiU. One couldnt have outsold the other by a huge margin.

 

[prag16]

Wait, that's all the bundle pullled in terms of software sales? Huh.

So MK8 ~375k, MK8 hardware bundle ~25k.

 

[sense]

THE THIRST IS REAL!!

 

[Kimawolf]

Uh, wrong? PS4 has been selling very well consistently... Your ass is giving you the wrong impression, here.

Nah I checked my ass, and it seems to be giving pretty good impressions.

 

[AniHawk]

so the mario kart 8 bundle did about 24k or thereabouts in two days. that should give a good idea what june might bring.

 

[Pyrokai]

Wait, if this is only two days with Mario Kart on the market, shouldn't we expect some kind of bump for Wii U next month more than this month?

 

[Dug]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

What am I looking at here? Could someone explain?

 

[Guymelef]

Top #3 SKUs:

#1. PS4 Watch_Dogs

#2. XBO Watch_Dogs

#3. NWU Mario Kart 8 - 370-380K


Clearly Watch_Dogs did very, very well.

Aqua, please, PS4/XBO numbers.

 

[krae_man]

Wii U price is $315?

Average price after factoring in the Mario Kart 8 bundle?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Clearly Watch_Dogs did very, very well.

Yes PS4 + XB1 for WD > 750k by themselves

 

[Orthogonal]

This thread perked up in a hurry.

MK8 sales are pretty solid for 2 days. Bet it continues to do well in June.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Aqua, please, PS4/XBO numbers.

Creamsugar please

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wait, if this is only two days with Mario Kart on the market, shouldn't we expect some kind of bump for Wii U next month more than this month?

Yes, but whisper it quietly.

 

[prag16]

Nintendo tracked 3 day sales, right? This was 2 days.

EDIT beaten

 

[Hero]

MK8 bundle only being 6% is fine, that means the month of June will have bigger hardware sales boosts.

MK8 Wii U bundle is sold out almost everywhere.

 

[Guymelef]

Creamsugar please

Creamsugar said that WiiU + 360 + XB1 < PS4 so propably nothing more on this from him.

 

[GeeDuhb]

You think many people were expecting a price drop to be announced a few days after the release of a new bundle?

I don't think so. I mean, I didn't see many people within the hardcore crowd (on places like here, GameFAQs, /v/, Reddit, etc.) saying this. And the MK8 bundle should be a decently large draw.

Really? I saw a TON of people on GAF alone saying that they were waiting until after E3 to pull the trigger. There are a ton of people who have bought refurbished console in the past week directly through Nintendo, and there is a huge 800+ post thread about people buying a Wii U in the past week. I bought one the Friday before E3, but I had been waiting weeks cause I was hoping for a price drop, but then I thought better of it.

 

[coldone]

Average price after factoring in the Mario Kart 8 bundle?

yep. 50% MK8 bundle, 50% normal one. Looks like it was 25K of MK8 bundle and 35K of normal SKUs

 

[rokkerkory]

- 50% mk8 bundle, 50% normal $299 SKU
- Also for 3DS.. it is hard to come up with a average price.

You can argue either way. But looks like it is a tie between Xbone and WiiU. One couldnt have outsold the other by a huge margin.

Ah okay, yeah that's super tricky.

 

[Guamu]

370k < &#8734; < 380k, bundle ~ 6.6%

Mmm...

so that's 25.08K ~ 24.42K bundles sold.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

MK8 bundle only being 6% is fine, that means the month of June will have bigger hardware sales boosts.

MK8 Wii U bundle is sold out almost everywhere.

Exactly.

 

[Pain]

Wii U + XBOX family < PS4

By how much?

Anecdotal evidence isn't really accepted in threads like these...
