I bought one a couple weeks ago as well. Not even a console I care to own but circumstances called for the purchase.
pretty sure, yeah. Most months this year have been sub 100k for Wii U, I think.

I dunno. I am actually considering the WiiU for my 6 year old Daughter, well the debate is between that and Disney Infinity+Fantasia. Just not sure really.

Nostalgic older gamers and gamer families is probably Nintendo's main draw right now, with 3DS skewing to younger kids. Sadly, Minecraft stole a lot of their generation.

How do you like it? I played mine for about an hour and determined it's not for me after trying 3D world and Mario Kart 8. I was trying to jump back in to my first Nintendo system since the n64.
Of course I know bish can work that out, I thought henhowc knew of some idiosyncrasy that I hadn't noticed.

So what are estimates for U.S. LTD of the 3 consoles in number form?

The WiiU is such an awesome console for playing great co-op games with your kids.
He must really like this forum.
oh
I have weird vision problems so the difference between the two larger segments was not very apparent to me
just got done with a 3hr session of MCC matchmaking and it actually worked well
tomorrow i'll be digging into the newly revamped Driveclub on my day off
props to those that are committed to being crazed over sales numbers. reality is both are doing incredibly well and 2015 is going to be an unbelievable year for games

Yeah ok goes against everything we know in history but ok
Nah, they will blame some marketing guys that will have to run naked around HQ with a sign 'I fracked Black Friday for Sony' and winner will keep his job, others will be outsourced to Sony Pictures.
I know, I was joking. I believe that they are still very satisfied with WW number, because PS4 is still flying off shelves on mainland Europe
The ps2 sold 500k in the 2nd November of the last gen consoles also though.

Not really surprised that XB1 outsold PS4 this month with deals like this: https://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox-one-800239-Xbox-One-Console--Kinect--7-Games-Xbox-One
The concern I have though is that are they robbing Peter to pay Paul. When you are effectively giving away 7 games(including 4 recent releases) for the same price as the system launched at seems a bit desperate to me. Could this have an adverse effect in the future if deals like this disappear for a time, will people avoid buying the XB1 in anticipation of another similar deal?

both consoles are healthy in the us. hope this means we get less cross-gen ports...freaking rise of the tomb raider for 360 tho...fuck that
He certainly liked this thread enough to craft this article: http://n4g.com/news/1638302/xbox-on...s4-800k-during-november-2014-in-north-america
Closing the gap indeed.

Hyperbole on my part but seriously, as a company Sony are in bad shape. Dropping the price on arguably the best thing they have going for them by $100 sounds like financial suicide. A $50 cut sounds more reasonable imo.

Not sure what the PS3 and 360 sold, but I'm sure PS3+360+WiiU woud make up that difference. Either way the PS2 was a phenomenon and you could get an exceptional console for $79-$99 so it had a lot of selling points besides being seen as competition for the new arrivals.
What. You. What?

Fear of competitors helps drive innovation. It's not the only factor but it helps.

Yawn...just waking up to NPD numbers...congrats MS I assume.
Very happy to see that Amazon still is quite a reliable way to project sales figures...off to Mazon to check ranks.
Glad to read nothing about arrogant Sony on the last pages as it it was implied by late in the prediction thread.

I think its definitely right that Nintendo skews older than their competitors, and I think they have done that for a long time (even during their most kiddy/casual years during the Wii), however, calling them "nostalgic gamers" makes it sound like it is some irrational feeling and all about reliving that youth - when in fact their games have the highest quality and the most quality-conscious consumers might be a just as good description.
Anyways, congrats to MS, glad to see they get sales out of their efforts. Very sorry to see how terrible the Wii U is selling though

CBOAT was never the same once that other controlled leak insider ntkernel came out and seemingly flushed him out. Ever since then he's been wrong on most things other than the name of Halo 5.

For people who are knowledgeable about the NPD process: Are they more likely to overestimate or underestimate sales?
You're the first person I've met that also didn't care for those games.
He got the Tomb Raider timed exclusive right.
Arrogant Sony is arrogant. How dare they not give us $100 off, 4 controllers, A map of Japan, and a free pre-order of Metal Gear Solid V.
It's black, so that's nice. I'll hook it up this weekend when I have some time. First Ninty system since my GameCube was stolen years ago.
I don't ask for much. I don't need the map of glorious Nippon.

I don't think the gap people talked about was ever really the US gap lol. It's the WW gap that is likely 6-7m at this point that is being talked about.
Fact really is if you take the X1 out of it the PS4 had an amazing November. They were just beat by MS throwing the kitchen sink in with their discounted system. I mean hell if the US split is right and the 850k in the US was around 37% if the PS4 sales it sold around 2.5 million units WW in November. Could easily have a 20m shipped type announcement by the end of the year.
Reading the doom in here about Sony is pretty funny. 2015 is going to blow 2014 out of the water software wise. The sales will stay strong throughout the year. Can MS keep up this type of momentum especially with a $299 PS4 coming down the pipe around E3?
