Forums - Sales Discussion - August 2013 NPD Thread! - 360:96k

Looks pretty grim, then.

Well, at least Pikmin showed so we can get a straight figure on that.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Hmmm.... This is grim :(
Where's Nintendo's press release..... 0_0

So is MS ignoring the 3DS again?

Also Pikmin 3, yay

why should they mention it? they talk obviously about home consoles when they talk about the  360 and don't even have an own handheld.

Didn't the 12GB PS3 launch in the US in August?

Still sticking to my 30% down YOY for PS3 and 360 globally for the full year. VGC is off all over the place imo.


end of august the 21st i believe

wouldnt matter much as HDD vs HDD PS3 has been cheaper for like a year now

Looking at the HW, seems all over the shop. I thought that they were getting better, but Im not certain that is the case now.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

3DS is #1 overall:

 

Disney Infinity did 294k across all platforms:

there goes the $199 myth... what a surprise.

Yup :(

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-09-12-retail-game-sales-up-21-percent-in-august-npd

''Sales of new gaming hardware were down 40 percent year-over-year to just $90.8 million, despite Sony rolling out a new 12GB PlayStation 3 model for $199 and dropping the price of the PS Vita to $199 midway through the month.''



So Xbox almost 50k overtracked? Man, now I fear about Wii U and 3DS.
At least Pikmin charted.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


360: 96k - overtracked by 47k
PS3: <96k - overtracked by 15k+
3DS: over 96k

Disney Infinite: 294k - overtracked by 59k
Splinter Cell: <294k - overtracked by 70k+



199$/€ consoles would have made an impact if this generation went like every other generation. People got tired of waiting and eventually bought one. That and the imminent release of 2 new consoles.

If the best selling console sold 98k, i don`t want to look at Wii U... i hope i`m wrong.
