Are we really going to get the hardware numbers right away? Aren't they usually 1-2 hours after the official NPD report?

Yeah gotta wait for the numbers to leak, but we'll get some sort of PR beforehand.

As of 31 December 2013, Nintendo reports 5.86 million units have been shipped worldwide.[5]

I'm sure they've in the last 4 months managed to sell 1.14 millions (and whatever shipped but at the time unsold quantity). And Nintendo suffered from a whole year of shitty software, and it's really only now that they've managed to output a respectable amount of quality games.

The PS4 in turn had that respectable amount of quality games from the get-go, so no wonder it has been selling so well, but I'm saying Nintendo will catch up to that and be able to compete.

I really don't think Nintendo has sold 7 mln Wii U units.

The console has sold 1,7mln units in Japan, and around 2mln units in NA so far. Wii U situation in Europe is even worse, so the number there must be even more terrible

 

[Admiral Woofington]

It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft did well. But you have to consider that Microsoft had Titanfall with all the "believe the hype" ads and the power of the general population hearing "From the guys that brought you COD comes COD with Robots" so it'd make sense they went to buy it in droves.

Us PS people really only had Second Son. Which admittedly I know of some that were waiting until this came out to buy a ps4. I love my PS4 but I won't be fully enjoying it until later this month if not mid May.

 

[GoofsterStud]

That's in Europe.

I don't think the X1 received such deals in NA.

Giving TF away for free is true, tho

Their was the $100 off deal with Forza packin and the $70 off titanfall packin. Those are the best deals I remember.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

I really don't think Nintendo has sold 7 mln Wii U units.

They probably haven't even shipped 7m.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Do who exactly is Kevin Dent? Besides being a delusional schizophrenic.

 

[nhlducks35]

None of them have ever been NPD insiders.

First time for everything

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Do who exactly is Kevin Dent? Besides being a delusional schizophrenic.

He was a member of the igda for a while, abused his power against an australian dev, making some sexist remarks, which effectively got him ousted by the industry. He tweets now. He's a twitterer.

he probably makes those games on phones where stupid people pay money to not have to play the game so much

 

[MickeyPhree]

Wasn't the last number 5.86m at the end of last year?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Wasn't the last number 5.86m at the end of last year?

whatever it was, they only predicted 400k shipments for this quarter.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

He's this guy, but without the common sense to stop putting his foot in his mouth.

 

[EL CUCO]

Almost time for that bunker

 

[GeoramA]

This is going to be fun.

I hope both XB1 and PS4 did big numbers. So sick of hearing about this gen being the last for consoles.

Thanks, that twitter conversation explains a lot!

My only hope as well. Don't really care who came in first. Just want big numbers all around.

does the do anything else?!

 

[vicissitudes]

Is this the most hyped NPD thread ever?

November and December numbers were somewhat dampened by early PR numbers and lack of PS4 supply.

January 2013 thread was huge but it was unexpected.

The buildup for this one is unprecedented.

 

[andromeduck]

Wasn't the last number 5.86m at the end of last year?

3.9 IIRC

 

[USDF]

Just remember that as bad as it is here it will be like Switzerland compared to gamefaqs.

Indeed, god damn I love me some console warz this shit should be televised

 

[Cornbread78]

well, it is usually a big month for income tax returns, so they should be decent..

Ok, that gave me a good laugh!

 

[MickeyPhree]

Don't know where I'm getting that 5.86 then. Too many numbers to try to remember.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Lol dent blocked me on twitter. Funny guy.

 

[Dead Prince]

should have done what sony done and announce a whole number.

Yes, because it's a big referendum on if Titanfall could pull the XBO even with Sony in the US, or if there's no stopping this train. It's one or the other.

I feel like if MS wins this one, May will be the most hyped. It's a truer test being post-price drop and Titanfall release.

The wii u gamefaqs boards tend to be a place for both misery and humor all wrapped up into one on npd day.

 

[TheRealTalker]

been awhile seen I've of heard from Kevin Dent


..oh wait sorry


Dr. Dent

This is the NPD people were talking about since the middle of last year.

 

[Aquamarine]

Wasn't the last number 5.86m at the end of last year?

Wii U Shipments:

1 month, 14 days: December 31st, 2012: 3.06 million
4 months, 14 days: March 31st, 2013: 3.45 million
7 months, 13 days: June 30th, 2013: 3.61 million
10 months, 13 days: September 30th, 2013: 3.91 million
1 year, 1 month, 14 days: December 31st, 2013: 5.86 million

 

[Delusibeta]

Kevin Dent shitting on the accuracy of NPD? PS4 outsold Xbone in March confirmed. Dent is a massive, blatant Microsoft shill, and it would be just like him to downplay Xbox's losses.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Does gaf go down here in a little while? I'm prepared.

Gaf will probably get a couple 503's if PS4 beats Xbone.

If not, then expect business as usual.

 

[artist]

good lord man, just stop...please?

Why do you want him to stop giving us the el oh els?

Truth to power.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Didn't NPD threads have their own trailers on youtube at one point?

 

[MickeyPhree]

The next two months after this should be interesting. Seeing what kind of impact titian fall and infamous had in April, then MLB the show, watch dogs, and Mario kart for May.

 

[Odrion]

Gaf will probably get a couple 503's if PS4 beats Xbone.

If not, then expect business as usual.

My bet: It's going to go down no matter what.

 

[FiggyCal]

I feel like this always happens. "Next month will be the true test". Come next month , "next month will be the true test".

Things are fishy in Denmark

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Any rumblings from twitter about the npd numbers? Just joining in.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Wii U Shipments:

1 month, 14 days: December 31st, 2012: 3.06 million
4 months, 14 days: March 31st, 2013: 3.45 million
7 months, 13 days: June 30th, 2013: 3.61 million
10 months, 13 days: September 30th, 2013: 3.91 million
1 year, 1 month, 14 days: December 31st, 2013: 5.86 million

Thanks aqua.

If Xbox wins, someone should quote him on the inaccuracies of npds numbers.

 

[Rolf NB]

Is this the most hyped NPD thread ever?

Some of the TItanfall marketing budget was accidentally spent on promoting NPDs.

 

[ethomaz]

Kevin Dent maybe guesses the 7 million PS4 sold WW is fake too lol lol lol

 

[Loakum]

I got $2 this site crashes when the (NPD) numbers are announced. lol

 

[hawk2025]

Again, why do people expect Dent to even know the numbers early?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

If the PS4 keeps averaging a million per month. Then I guess we should have 10 million by the end of June then?

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

I feel like this always happens. "Next month will be the true test". Come next month , "next month will be the true test".

To be fair, this is a pretty banner month for the xbo. It had a pretty major price drop (if unoffical) a bundle, and it's largest hyped game release.

If it can't outsell the ps4 this month, I'll have to question if it ever will.

 

[Black Republican]

Again, why do people expect Dent to even know the numbers early?

Makes them feel better?
