Forums - Sales Discussion - January 2014 NPD Thread! - PS4: 271k, XBO: 141k, WiiU: 49k

I've got about 41.6m lifetime for Wii in the US, 41.1m for X360 in the US. If the X360 really sold less than 50k and Wii sold less than 25k, all off the sudden it looks like X360 outselling Wii cumulatively in the US is off the table again. The margins will only shrink on average with time as both remnants of the long tail collapse.

I really don't understand why people are so surprised with the low numbers, it was pretty obvious by mid-2011 that everything was going to decline very rapidly starting in 2012, and so all the new consoles really should have been out by December 2012.

PS3, by the way, is at 25.6m lifetime, so that <60k figure that  is being rumored is arguably worse than the X360 / Wii low figures as it's been on the market a short time and has the most users to sell to.

The figures for January imply Wii at < 0.3m, for 2014 in the US, PS3 at <0.8m and X360 at <0.65m

X1 more like 2-3m

PS4 - 4m-5m

Wii U -  0.7m

3DS - 2m-3m

3DS is doing doomed numbers again.



Wow PS4 undertracked and X1 majorly overtracked. Guess PS4 is doing far better in US than I thought.



The numbers are actually 271,000 for PS4 and 142,000 for X1.

XBO and WiiU heavily overtracked, PS4 slightly under tracked.

Where is ethomaz???



Isn't there normally a chart for this kind of thing? As someone who just got here it's really hard to follow what the sales were.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

WTF is the price drop gonna do to help the X1 against the PS4? The 360 already had the price advantage ALL GEN and PS3 sold at a faster rate. All a price drop will do is soften the massacre it's gonna be.

The only official chart is in the OP (for software).

There aren't any official hardware numbers. They come from sources that leak the information mostly through NeoGAF.  And most of those sources only give clues as to what the numbers are so the interpretation of those hints leave to some subjectivity.

As of right now the current numbers are in the title but I'll add them to the OP.
