Great for mk8 but man I was hoping this was the month that it would outsell the Xbox one. Doesn't seem to be the case
Let's see how much the ps4 slowed down during the slow months of the year.

Whoa, sales out of nowhere on a Monday. Due to E3, I take it? I'm glad I didn't remember last Thursday, then, too.

You said "May Numbers were 36K, though] Aqua clarified to 32.6K."
The estimated May 2013 numbers were:
Wii - 36K
Wii U - 34K
huh, 64k?
Is that good considering Kart was out for 2 days? Does pre-launch hype usually create higher hardware sales, or are people just waiting for the bundle to launch? If it's the latter, then I can imagine most of those sales happened during the final two days of the month, which is pretty crazy.

There's really no need, but if you want to torture yourself go ahead
I'll gladly eat those crows if I'm wrong.

Wii U's hardware number doesn't surprise me. It's selling to the converted.

I accept the argument on Smash (to an extent - the delay between the Japanese and US releases is real dumb). I don't really get it on Hyrule Warriors. Even if it's not going to be a strong seller, it's at least a game. Release it worldwide, the age of month+ delays for games ended when everyone got access to the internet. Nintendo can't stay there forever and they shouldn't when they're leaving another empty summer.
Moreover, they did this exact same thing last year. Delays for Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 simply because they didn't want anything in July. Their scheduling had gone off the rails.
Okay sorry I finally got the full numbers written correctly. Sorry my brain is fried today.
Wii U: 32,600 * 1.85 = 60,130 - Up 85% for May versus May 2013. May Numbers were 34K, though Aqua clarified to 32.6K.

It's kinda difficult to believe anyway that Wii U sales will be below 100k next month.

Nice showing for MLB.
That PS4 rules is no surprise. This month will be interesting with xbones flying off the shelve (to quote gamestop). If the Xbox One, The All-in-One Entertainment System does not get ahead of the PS4 in June then it will be difficult for MS to catch up. I am not sure that the Halo Collection is a system seller (or will sell more than TLoU) and the rest of the exclusives on both platforms for this year are even worse (as system sellers).
Good Bump for the Wii U, but with almost 500k in sales of MK8 it could have been better.

Like everybody said. People who wanted mk8 bought the console long time ago. Nintendo is just releasing the games that Nintendo gamers want.

So Titanfall sold more on 360 than XBO.

That doesn't make sense. Even at price parity the sony hype train + psplus value train is going full bore.

Wow. That is absolutely horrific. I'm at a loss for words at how anemic that is. Doesn't seem possible with the 4.1x week over week number..

That's something even NIntendo acknowledged this E3....
There's no gaps between the bars on a histogram. Sorry, got a stats exam coming up so I'm being a tad nerdy

MK8 bump was only counted for 2days. Better tell would be June.
I'm sure it will see at least some kind of boost next month as well. If not, then it's a damn shame. As the Wii U is turning into an amazing little system with a lot going for it and even more to look forward to.

Hold up, is the order of platforms inside the brackets indicative of distribution?! Mind blown if true.
Yes, but that should not be surprising.

It's surprising seeing how well PS4 software is selling. Last gen 360 was always number 1 in hardware. Even with the COD deal, PS4 is still outselling everyone else. Really surprising, good for Sony.
No need for random extremes like this.
People were just expecting much better than this poor amount, as evidenced by the estimations thread.

It's half an hour after the NPD embargo has lifted, and there's no PR from Microsoft.
I don't think I need to tell y'all what this probably means.
