Feanor ur reaching here. This is how it works..

 

  • Nintendo releases official numbers of wiiU sales and announces them to be 60k. 
  • NPD says PS4 is best selling console for the month 
  • NPD also says total hardware sales for that month is 700k (wiiU,wii, 360, XB1, PS3, Vita, PSP and PS4)
  • MS annouces that XB1 sales are 20% up YOY when compared to 360 and we have MS released NPD data for 360 for that month last year.

 

Just by looking at that information above, its starts becoming easy to use the info given to get the actual numbers. Thats why we go to school. Not everything needs to be sppon fed. But I feel you, you can discredit the "insiders" all you want but it really always can go both ways. They could be as right as you think they could be wrong.

Two things though, anytime MS doesn't talk about numbers in the NPD response, then it means they lost. Or when they use some spin like "xbox family" and even that they don't do anymore. And secondly, in all honesty.... if the NPD, or the insiders had XB1 topping the charts.... will you be saying any of this? 


I don´t think Nintendo released their official numbers last May. Nor the 30k for May last year.

And I thought that the NPD group only worked by "total revenue" when they says the market grew 95% YOY. I didn´t read about 700k units total, I supose this was another strapolation with the 95% growth.
