Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD Jan 2014 VS NPD Jan 2007 -- Nex-Gen Is Underperforming!

NPD Jan 2007 (5 WEEKS MONTH):

Wii -- 436K (87.2K p/w)
360 -- 294K (58.8K p/w)
PS3 -- 244K (48.8K p/w)

NPD Jan 2014 (4 WEEKS MONTH):

PS4 - <286K...slightly under apparently (<71.5K p/w)
XBone - 143K (35.8K p/w)
WiiU - EDIT -- FALSE number was reported...will be UPDATED with correct number!

((estimated figures are from GAF thanks to percentages that were thrown around...they are usually good at maths :P )) -- updates will be made when specific figures are revealed

Obviously with PS4 there was a complete sellout of all stock available pretty much...so who knows how much higher it could have gone!
Also to be fair the Xbox 360 we'd have to see 2006 Jan for its first post launch January

Xbox One being lower than PS3 is pretty worrying, and WiiU...well let's not even go there!

Either way it looks like thus far Nex-Gen is off to a slower start. But maybe this gen will be more slow & steady!

2007 had 5 weeks. 2014 only has 4.

20013 also had 5 weeks.



Edited to reflect per week averages

How much did the wii U do last year in january?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Smart phones and tablets taking over!

or maybe everybody wants a ps4.. and sony can't make them as fast as nintendo made the wii, since nintendo were basically using slightly upgraded 6th gen parts for their console..

while sony is using new gen tech to manufacture the ps4..

Prior to doing the per week averages I would disagree

But after doing them the PS4 isn't as far behind Wii per week as I thought. So you may be right.
