Btw, Xbone has some serious trouble. All multiplats sold better on the PS4.

Even Ghosts.

Can't be right, I was repeatedly told that MS had the COD crowd on lock down.

 

[Dragonborn]

All signs are pointing to the early $400 SKU announcement hurting it... Especially since the 3DS did better.



Exactly so I'm assuming that the Xbox One did better than the Wii U.

The price cut wasn't known in April and it still did horrible. The X1 was going to do terrible in May, with or without price cut announcement.

 

[Chobel]

Any idea when we will get MS PR?

 

[Nirolak]

90% YoY

So going back to May of last year: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=66914306&postcount=1137

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/stock/m.../slide04_l.jpg

Using 114k for Xbox 360 as a basis:

3DS: 115k
PS3: 85k
Wii: 36k
Wii U: 34k
DS: 34k
Vita: 16k
PSP: 4k

34,000 * 1.9 = 64,600 Wii U's?

 

[KillerMan91]

So if Wii u sales were up over 85% that means at least 88K for May.

And while expected still rather shitty hw sales.

 

[rokkerkory]

That says a lot about Xbox and the WiiU sales.

Both are prob pretty bad then

 

[Yopis]

Good job NBA2k. Came a long way from the days people would not give them a chance. Good on Mk8.

 

[Enforced]

Nice to see Kirby on the list.

 

[EulaCapra]

Pink Gold Peach for the silver! Wins gold for the 2 days!

 

[massoluk]

Released at the very end of the month and only on one platform. God damn, the power of Mario Kart.
/bow

 

[Neuromancer]

Today is Monday, not Thursday. Why are NPD results showing up today?

E3 cease fire

 

[ironcreed]

Yay for MK8. It is more than worthy.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I'm guessing Microsoft got their ears stomped together this month

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wii U has a pulse :O

Of about ~89k or so

 

[Angelus Errare]

Doubtful, but keep in mind the Vita and PS3 versions were out an entire month earlier than the PS4 version, so I have a feeling most of this is a result of the latter's release.

Ah didn't realize that.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

And while expected still rather shitty hw sales.

Its the WiiU, what did you expect. At least Mk gave it a short burst even though its only accounted for 1 day.

 

[Saganator]

Wow really great to see MLB The Show so high. Was not expecting that. It was barely advertised, too.

 

[Michael Armbrust]

Today is Monday, not Thursday. Why are NPD results showing up today?

Delayed due to E3.

EDT: Beaten

 

[N.Domixis]

Shouldn't MS PR be out by now?

There was no way they could spin this month, so they took 1 month vacation until next npd.

 

[Cyberia]

It begins.

I totally see the WiiU as the best selling console in May. Dat Mario Kart 8.

 

[Nirolak]

Of about ~89k or so

Did I do my math wrong?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116880191&postcount=204

 

[Aquamarine]

Still nothing from Microsoft PR.

 

[Booty Patrol]

Wasn't MK8 only out for like 2 days in May? Holy shit.

 

[SDCowboy]

All signs are pointing to the early $400 SKU announcement hurting it... Especially since the 3DS did better.

Perhaps, but what's the excuse for the cheaper SKU ranking below the more expensive one on Amazon right now?

 

[Papercuts]

Curious to see if the Wii U passed the XB1 this month. Really want to see the MK8 impact.

 

[rokkerkory]

COD has legs... Titanfall kinda too

 

[Jomjom]

And while expected still rather shitty hw sales.

MK8 bundles count in the console sales right? I couldn't find any of those bundles anywhere!

 

[manual4]

360>Xbone though.

yes a 1 month younger game with bigger install outsells a month older with a much smaller install

 

[Finalizer]

Did the Xbone completely fall off a cliff for May?

That price cut announcement probably hurt them badly for May.

If WiiU is really in the 80k+ range, I could see that beating out Xbone after a sales drop from potential buyers waiting for the cheaper model.

 

[Marche90]

Normally I only lurk the NPD sales thread, but this time I had to.

Can't wait to see the Nintendo results

 

[FDC1]

Still nothing from Microsoft PR.

I'm beginning to think we won't have one

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Can't be right, I was repeatedly told that MS had the COD crowd on lock down.

They have the last gen crowd on lockdown, 360 sold the most copies of Ghost.

 

[phanphare]

And while expected still rather shitty hw sales.

Reggie said wait until June

 

[FZZ]

So going back to May of last year: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=66914306&postcount=1137


34,000 * 1.9 = 64,600 Wii U's?

Edited my post 90% YoY for total sales from January to May. Only 85% for this month it seems.

Still YoY I think.

 

[bryehn]

I'm guessing Microsoft got their ears stomped together this month

With a "price cut" announcement, almost certainly so.

 

[Darksol]

Crazy.Wow.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Did I do my math wrong?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116880191&postcount=204

No but people were using 48k as the WiiU number.

 

[On Demand]

Think Sony will give a break down of MLB sales by platform? I expect PS3>PS4>Vita, but numbers would be nice.

The top ten chart tells you who sold more in order from left to right.

On that note; all mutiplatform games sold better on PS4 vs XB1.

 

[borghe]

Did I do my math wrong?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116880191&postcount=204

Depends on if that quote was MoM or YoY.

 

[mrklaw]

All signs are pointing to the early $400 SKU announcement hurting it... Especially since the 3DS did better.



Exactly so I'm assuming that the Xbox One did better than the Wii U.

That's what I was thinking. So along the lines of PS4>3DS>XB1>WiiU>Vita

Both WiiU and XB1 should get decent bumps next month too

 

[Metfanant]

- Call of Duty is dead...
- Awesome for MLB, deserves it

 

[Neuromancer]

The thirst was real

 

[Jinfash]

Did I do my math wrong?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116880191&postcount=204

'Course you did: 0 unit sales + 90% = 89k

 

[Jomjom]

COD has legs... Titanfall kinda too

Crazy to think if they released a PS4 and PS3 version they would likely be in the top 3 still.

 

[Insaniac]

It's a Vita game.

its a Vita game of a 2 year old game :\

 

[Asd202]

I don't get why people are suprised by MK8. If someone has a WiiU and doesn't buy that game I would ask why even have a WiiU. Hardwere numbers will be more telling and if Niorlak estimates are true there not really all that good.

 

[Megadragon15]

Microsoft must have had a horrible month for their silence.

 

[MavFan619]

Good stuff to MK8.

 

[Boke1879]

reposting this from the other thread.


I expected Xbone sales to be bad, but not THIS bad. If 3DS and WIIU outsold it then they have a problem. June they will see a boost but I still see the PS4 edging it out in Sales.

If they don't win June. PS4 will be the top selling console for the rest of the year. Destiny in September along with the white PS4 Bundle will solidify the PS4 and top selling next gen console for the year.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Damn! Congrats to Nintendo for Mario Kart 8 at 2nd. Nintendo just needs to keep outputting these games of such quality and fun on a regular basis.

So

This is sort of the problem with MK8 doing well. Because now there's nothing to carry the momentum. I don't mean "Rarghargh they should have had Smash ready in the summer, they are fools," but, like, the next major game is coming out in September (Hyrule Warriors, so your definition of "major" should be adjusted considering what we're talking about). July if you want to count Wii Sports Club, which you probably shouldn't.

This is a problem that could have been easily foreseen and, more to the point, seems to be actively intentional? Like, Hyrule Warriors is coming out over a month after its Japanese release. Nintendo's actively sabotaging their own release schedule here.

They seemingly knew people were going to pick up the system for MK8, they've outright said they were counting on it. So why on earth did they fail to capitalize?
