I'll just take the freedom of putting what BenV said in the NPD thread just now, in here:


5. Destiny.......you guys have no idea how fucking huge this game is going to be."

Bigger than Halo smaller than CoD... say 16m all consoles lifetime

Which would be massive, basically that would make this the biggest new hardcore IP (say no Wii Sports/Wii Fit etc.), since who knows what.

Biggest new non Nintendo IP on a video game console I think? Which is amazing because nobody can actually top Nintendo, just look at the all time sales charts =P

Wii U numbers are disappointing. Mario Kart 8 will help raise the base number substantially, as it is rumored a Mario Kart 8 Wii U SKU is going to be released.



Wii U needs Mario Kart like yesterday



I echo the sentiment that NA numbers seem at odds after NPD data came out.

Other note is how dominant PS4 is in Europe who are finally getting supply issues revolved over there. I expect it to sell even more there in coming months.

Lastly, poor Vita is just dying in NA. I love the device but makes worry about its future here.



Go Vita!

In Japan!

16 units number1!

True, if it comes to making IPs that sell well, then they really know what they're doing. It'd be interesting to see if they can come up with a new IP that manages to become a multimillion seller over several iterations (not like the Wii series, which looks to have been more of a one of success) though, the last new IP that Nintendo made that became something like that, was Animal Crossing I believe.

Well maybe Tomodachi Collection can be the next.



PS4 succes
3DS good
XO bad
PSVita much bad
Wii U omg ._.



I was expecting titanfall on 360 to do way more. You have an 80mil install base and it only pulls 300k?

Also, the Wii U sinks to a new low. It's below the 360?! That is fucking tragic.

April Fools is over, adjust the US numbers please and while you're at it the Last of Us needs to be adjusted up too!
