Forums - Sales Discussion - July 2014 NPD Thread! PS4: 187k, XBO: 131k, Wii U: 81k

this was last month single sku chart with 5 weeks of sales

not we only got 4 weeks and mk8 with about 100k at 2, 3 or 4

and tomodachi at 5 with probably less than 80k sales (85k sales including digital is the acutal number)

july will be so freaking low for everything

Hardly see Europe being a whole lot better, it's never been over or under US by a whole lot, probably very similar numbers. And until recently Japan was about 8k a week for WiiU.

true and in response to ninsect I say it is overtracked but by 225k :P


Super interesting to see what they ship in Q3. So far they're trending lower, and they only shipped 510k last Q as it is.

There will be a Nintendo "fusion" platform, sooner than later I'm thinking at this point. Nintendo will bail on the Wii U once they have completed Zelda and thus given the Wii U a prerequisite amount of Nintendo IP.


You finally see it? Thank you.



I'm not really convinced Wii U got a bump from Mario Kart that lasted more than a week. It sold 140,000 in five weeks, not four for June, and 83,000 in July for four weeks, not five, so you're looking at 28,000 / week in June to 21,000 / week in July. June is when people graduate from school or college often times, and it's Father's Day, it's typically a bit better than July for everybody on a weekly basis, so it's hard to say if Mario Kart really did anything in the US.

I've always worked on the assumption that the original Wii sold because it had a monopoloy on motion control gaming from 2006-2010 and then declined when it no longer had that monopoly. Every game in that 2006-2010 that expanded the monopoly into new genres reinforced the Wii or prevented it from weakning - the kings being Mario Kart for racing, Just Dance for dancing, and so on, but now that there is no motion monopoly, games are just games, and the people buying them are people who liked Nintendo, not people who liked Nintendo or liked motion gaming.

I don't understand your logic. I am not downplaying anything. All I am saying is youre taking a month where there is one clear cut exclusive game thats old a ton and extrapolating it against other consoles. It's just not a fair comparison to make on a larger scale.

I'm thoroughly impressed with TLOU:R sales but  tooting the horn about comparing gross sales across consoles in light of a single titles dwarfing software does not provide a fair comparison.


I didn't said you were downplaying. Just that to consider a sole game tipping the balance so much that all other softwares on both concorrents and the own platform are dwarves isn't accurate.

But it is a fact that it did. One game sold so much that it inflated the sales of a single console. This can't be ignored when youre talking about comparing software sales across multiple consoles. The fact it is a single title, remaster is irrelavent to the discussion. One title vastly sold a lot of copies and is only on one console, it will skew the numbers for the month dramatically. that is all. I don't understand what is being argued here.

What is being argued is that TLOUR didn't sold by itself the same as Mk8 and all other SKU in MS and Ninty portfolio... it probably weighted for like 10% of sales, maybe 20%.. but that doesn't make all others dwarves or Sony 50% marketshare in SW irrelevant.

Very low numbers, KArt seems did not do very much.

NDp is a true test of a bump, has fallen fast. Maybe no new baseline just a slow descent.

wheres the rest of the numbers ?
