Yes, the statement by NPD is: “In January 2016, however, the sales of [current] generation consoles declined by 8 percent, despite relatively flat unit sales, as average prices dipped by 6 percent as a result of price cuts that took place between January 2015 and January 2016.” http://venturebeat.com/2016/02/11/january-2016-npd-xbox-one-ps4/ So the 8% includes the 3DS/Vita decline. The lifebringer is negible anyway, so we'd need the 3DS number for firm conclusion. But as mentioned, the most important conclusions are true regardless (PS4 :XB1 == 2:1, WiiU down 50%). It's really quite remarkable this month is a repeat of the first XB1/PS4 January, where the bottom dropped out for Microsoft. It'll be interesting if February will confirm this or if this dip is an irregularity. |
Vita sold a ton last january for Vita though.
PS4 ~189k
XBO ~150k
3DS ~74k
Wii U ~62k
Vita+ Vita TV ~ 35k
510k so if flat the split is 510k with most going to PS4 since all else are down yoy and Vita basically 0.
