Forums - Sales Discussion - August 2014 NPD Thread! PS4 - 190k, XBO - 160k, Wii U < 60k, PSV < 6k

Mummelmann on 11 September 2014

Tagged for numbers, we might start to see the true folly in the "Nintendo have secured 2nd place" movement that has grown in here.

I'm looking forward to seeing the September NPD as well; Destiny seems to have provided the One with a much needed vitamin injection as well. The holidays will be quite good it seems, there are some heavy hitters coming and this might become a truly rare holiday season, with handhelds selling less than (at least two) home consoles.

PS4: #1 best selling

PlayStation" (PS4 + PS3) sold more than Nintendo or Microsoft home consoles.

The Last of Us Remastered continues to have strong momentum on PS4; it was the top selling first-party title in August.

It's too bad these sales mean jack for Sony. They lost way too much money on the ps3,psp and ps vita that the ps4 will probably just make them break even on the Playstation brand. Also, they are going bankrupt so they won't be here for long.

What the hell's your problem?

For everything I mean. Like a unit count.

When lining up sales of PS4 and Xbox One after 10 months on the market,” said Callahan, “the combined PS4 and Xbox One hardware sales are greater by over 70 percent compared to their predecessors.”

why did no1 do the math?
we know ps4 and xb1 ltd end of July
and some1 should know xb360 and ps3 ltd for first 10 month


so we would get a rough estimate for ps4 + xb1 combined numbers...
anyone know the ps360 numbers?


dunno if they are in line with NPD..

 

vgc says 2,26M for 360

1,74M for PS3

4M total

what was ltd end of july for ps4 and xb1?


ps4 : 3754

xb1: 3047

It takes a while for the actual numbers to come out.

Remember that Microsoft has a marketing deal with NFL for Madden, a marketing deal around $400M...

Yea, the investors probably aren't too happy about that deal, now.  $400M, and for what?  The PS4 to still outsell you in the month of release.  They aren't really netting much of anything from that deal.  That's why I've been saying I think 2014 is going to be the last year you really see these BIG moneyhatting deals from Xbox.  After this year, if things keep going as is, investors are really going to be breathing down their necks about all the wasted spending.

$400 million is mostly for NFL to use and showcase Surface tablets, and to have logos plastered everywhere. Very little to do with XBox altogether.

I think that $400 million is now wasted.

LOL. Enjoying this generation? PS4 fans are.


I am enjoying Killer Instinct, Forza 5, Titan Fall, Dead Rising and soon Halo MCC, Sunset overdrive, spark, and Forza Horizion 2. Don't worry, when sony goes bankrupt and Nintendo drops out of the console race due to the fact they can't make money off of consoles anymore you're are welcome to come to Xbox. Just don't bring your japanese weboo games.

trololololololol!  Try a better argument, as Sony (as a whole) still has a market cap of over $20 Billion, and they are not going bankrupt any time soon.

And psp didn't make them lose money



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
