Forums - Sales Discussion - February 2014 NPD Thread! PS4: 285k, XBO: 258k, Wii U: 82k

PS4 still ahead in the US! Still amazed at the turn around Sony has managed with the PS4 in the US.

Next month we will probably see X1 ahead with the release of Titanfall and growing momentum for the system.

Crazy how things have changed in just a few months. I say this every month, no one saw this coming in the US market. That being said, unless Sony starts pushing out big software titles like Uncharted and whatever else they have X1 will take the lead and probably keep it.

And i think my comments around price isn't everything is vindicated.

Around the Network

Xbox family: 114k + 258k = 372k

PS4: 286k

PS3: <86k

 

Edit: If MS meant that the Xbox family outsold the PS family/Wii family that is.



BD and Donkey Kong are #2 and #4 in best selling games of the month (SW only on 1 platform of course). Great news.

Also, it is awesome to see that everything pretty much is undertracked. The industry is looking a lot healthier all of a sudden :P.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Great Xb1 numbers. Still believe they will win the US, but Ps4 will be much closer than PS3 was to X360.



Good month. Hopefully the home consoles can do over 800k combined next month with Titanfall and Infamous incoming



Around the Network

Genuinely surprised about Bravely Default in a good way. I wonder if Square-Enix will make it a higher priority franchise.

The 3DS seems to be able to do OK with mideval/fantasy themed core titles ... Fire Emblem surprised last year, now Bravely Default this year. Maybe Nintendo and their third party partners need to take a clue and make more games in this vein.



The MS increase is a surprising, TitanFall has increased stock sales earlier than i expected... expect them to be ahead in march then now really, unless Sony can step up their stock supply... but would expect Sony stock to start stabilising now anyway.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Well they still have that pesky little Vita, which they probably have nothing positive to share about.

I predict they leave it out completely.



Happy for them.At least a break from the pessimism that was/is prevalent on some gaming forums.



Hmm so console gaming wasn't doomed after all, even the crippled wii U is up



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.
