NPD Sales Results for May 2014 [Up1: Wii U Hardware]

Out of curiosity, how is this surprising (XFamily+WiiU < PS4) to some people?
We know that the XBone numbers which were already sad were going to take a big nosedive due to the announced price cut. WiiU is at 60k. Put the XBone around 50k and we get 110k. All that's left is the 360 which has been selling even worse than the XB1.
PS4 was 199k last month. That leaves plenty of room for it to have another strong decline and still end up with XFamily+WiiU<PS4.
It speaks more to the shambles that the console market is in rather than the success of Sony.

I suspect though that retailers are not stocking very many of them. That's a big issue for Nintendo IMO- just getting shelf space after 1.5 years of massive disappointment.

They'll be able to use it probably well into next year, at least in the US.
If the bundle didn't do that well, the only people to blame are Nintendo. They are sold out pretty much everywhere within a 30 mile radius of where I live. Maybe they didn't sell well in the first 2 days, but they have sold insanely well since.

So Xbox One Watch_Dogs, which is at least 370K, is 29% of Watch_Dogs sales.
That puts Watch_Dogs somewhere over 1 million. >1.25 million, to be exact.

And people wonder why they spend money on comarketing and exclusive content. Goodness

And this is why Destiny and the holidays in general will be absolutely huge for Sony

I get numbers are hard but anyone that considers PS4 "dying" should just avoid sales thread for the foreseeable future.
That's abysmal if it's less than 60K, like you said it's not just a standard price drop, Kinect is being taken out. As unpopular that it is right now people were buying Kinect X1's over 100K monthly.

Yep about what I expected, slightly more skewed towards X1 than PS4 in the US than UK.
25% last gen. Down with crossgen.

So assuming the splits in the US for WD are equivalent to the splits in the UK [which is one assumption too far I'm sure] then XB1 would account for 27% of WD sales and with WD XB1 > MK8 ~= 375k
WD total could be around 375/.27 = 1389k with ~681k on PS4
Hell of a lot of assumptions though. XB1 probably has a healthier cut of WD sales in the US then UK
Wow it's very close to UK splits then

The question is how much less? He didn't say approx equal (~). Without that info, you can't really get anywhere close to your numbers.
That's great. Hope this means a greater push for current gen only.
PS3 also got that.. I think it is the resolution gate/eSRAM that is causing most of the problems for Xbox one.

Arrogant Sony return incoming
I was replying directly to a post stating that he had not seen people saying they were waiting for a drice drop on sites like here, GameFAQS, reddit, etc...

Do we have any idea where XBO and PS4 sales for the month sit exactly?
Chicago welcomes PS4.
Sales for XbO had to be negative 710k units to go below what the 360 had sold at this point (not my number, it was discussed earlier). The 360 had very little supply the first months.
Beaten ofc...

wii u and xbox numbers must be beyond awful
Boom. PS4 outsells WiiU, Xbox One, and 360 combined!
Nintendo cannot force retailers to take inventory.
if the 24k + whatever else was sold in that week accounts for the 4x over the previous week, that would mean sales were something 6k-8k on average for the previous week. that also means sales would have dropped about 25-50% weekly from april to may. very possible, given that new owners may have been aware of the upcoming promotion and would have preferred waiting for the bundle.
if the 4x quoted refers to the first week of june, then it means the wii u sold in excess of 100k in the first week of june, which is, frankly, unbelievable. it's entirely possible that it could have happened, but i really doubt it.

Yep, should be a similar breakdown I expect, as well as the hardware boost.
Great move to bundle an exclusive new colour PS4 as well.
But how many people actually wanted the Kinect? Saving $100 and losing something you didn't care for in the first place might have been enough to make people wait a month to buy one.

Yes destiny is going to be huge for Sony

So if X1 WatchDogs > 380K (the MK8 total at #3 SKU) at 29% share, Means PS4 > 603K
Yep.

Ah, so the automatic assumption is a decline even though at least one heavily marketed new game came out? What did April have going for it, again? This doom & gloom is hilarious.

So the PS4 SKU of Watch Dogs sold around 53% more than MK8
Although 2 days of tracking versus 8 I guess if you want to argue that
Holy cow, Wolfies 79% next gen sales 0_0
