Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2014 NPD Thread!

Congrats to the XB1, maybe they should keep their pricecut and deals to stay competitive. Wii U really needs a price cut, otherwise Nintendo is just gonna leave it.



Around the Network

VGC had Wii U at 243k for the final week of November in North America alone. Holy overtrack! Wonder how far off (if at all) the X1 and PS4 are. 



So the salt is real for 7-10K? Whatever the case it was a good win for MS. Deserved.

It's amazing that (if true) both sold 1M.

I doubt neither sold 1mil+ in November in the US. If they did they would come screaming with their PR.



At this rate, is wiiU even going to reach 15M units lifetime? I can't believe how badly it performed this November. Japan is down, Americas is almost flat and we have no clue about Europe (I'm talking about holiday sales of course). They might end up shipping only 2.2.-2.4m units this Q which would mean they would end up barely hitting their very low forecast. Given the release of smash and kart, I was expecting wiiU to smash that forecast and end up shipping something like 4-4.5m. I guess I was wrong.

And this year is probably it's peak year, meaning that next year will probably bring wiiU LTD sales to 12m units (?) and then they're probably going to barely reach 15M lifetime. Actually they're probably going to end up with 14m units sales lifetime seeing how badly the system is performing.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

my prediction from the other thread

XB1 1.5M
PS4 1.4M
WiiU 250k

one down two more to go damn im good, i dont need no leaks


I hope you're right

He isn't unfortunately. Most XB1 + PS4 can be is 2.1m, given they're under 80% of where PS360 were at the same point.

yeah just cuaght up in here and the gaf thread, ouch looks like there both close to or just at a Mill each if the 7-10k gap is true, still my numberes gave a better indication to what the 3 did compared to each other than anyones else beliefs on here and even vgcs 400k gap and 380k WiiUs sold although there werent many other predictions made

Yikes, its worse than I thought.  NPD's statement about the 80% increase means that the Xbox One is over by at least 400k.  I'm going to calculate how much the total chartz estimate may be off by.
