I get where youre coming from, im just saying i wouldnt put it in the same boat as the other platforms listed since it currently sells as much as all them combined.

By the way, if NX is primarily a handheld will you give numbers for it?

Hardware sales in isolation are meaningless. What matters is the macro----how healthy is the ecosystem, and how do the overall markets sell.

 

At the moment, Home Consoles are the future of USA retail, and Handhelds are almost dead.

3DS is unwell. It's technically alive hardware-wise thanks to fads and a few Nintendo IP, but as an ecosystem it's not healthy.

That's why historically I haven't been focusing on it.

 

Maybe this month will be different. We'll see.

hey aqua, could you maybe talk about the Halo 5 LimitedEdition, Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Siege Xbox MoM % increase and unit numbers?
in that case we could gauge how big the prime day sales for xbox one were. That's the 3 retail games they included.

Or would that be to specific and nothing your are willing and allowed to share?
well NPD does also break down the sales weekly afaik, so you could give week 2 xbox numbers in comparison to the other normal weeks.
I would find it interesting to know, how big this "little black friday" sales in a slow summer month are.
But i assume that's the kind of information NPD wants to get theire money for ;)
