Forums - Sales Discussion - January 2016 NPD Thread! PS4 #1

Farsala on 12 February 2016

I don't think the Wii U sold much tbh. XB1 dropped hard from the holidays so I assume the same for Wii U.
PS4 had the lightest drop.

Post NPD prediction.
240k PS4
132k XB1
30k Wii U

Another great month for PS4/X1, pretty good tracking of the X1 but not the PS4 from VGC. I still expect this year to be down somewhat YOY.

How it's a great month for X1 if we only know that it is down YOY and the spin on MS PR is so crazy that it can only mean bad sales?

No, don't want to.

Beautiful.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Great month for fans of MS PR spins. In that respect, the X1 performed admirably.

Not very impressive numbers for the No. 1 console. But witth February, March, April packed with some good games i see Sony will be optimistic in taking a decisive lead in USA also.

The Best NPD PR nonsensical Spin of the month. Is that more or less how MS would classify it? They even forgot to mention that they are still outperforming X360.

We don't have the numbers, OP have >189k just because Sony said it's up YOY and last year it was 189k (it could be 500k for all we know).

What would be more appropriate numbers, particularly for the market leader?

I was expecting at least 250k.
