Forums - Sales Discussion - June 2012 NPD Thread - Everything is here!

So, 360 off by ~32K. PS3 by ~22K. And Wii by ~18K. Doesn't seem like those MS Store $99 360 deals helped the 360 much (the PS3 was up 57% MOM, while the 360 was up 60%). While this does include almost a week of the deal being available at Best Buy and Gamestop, we'll have to wait til July NPD to see if the expansion of that deal will be truly beneficial.

Great tables Boutros!

Hey this is the first time in quite a while that NPD has the 360 above Vgchartz estimates.

Looks like the tables are turning! The PSVita is way up this time.

Indeed. In fact it looks like almost everything is higher than what Vgchartz had. 



Nice to see the Vita spot on. And the PSP spot on, give or take (most likely give if they are both at ~100K) a couple K. 3DS over by ~20K. I think there's a good chance that once the Vita hits $199 in the US, it would start selling on par, maybe even slightly passing, the 3DS's sales.

The DS is creating a similar scenario as the PSP-Vita in a Japan which is not good.
But it's not as bad, since their closest competitors are not gaining distance ahead... it's the contrary, actually.

Still not good, though. 3DS XL will help, thankfully.



MS PR (47% share for 360). PS3 195k is at its best...

"Halfway through 2012, Xbox 360 maintained its lead in the U.S. console market, marking 18 months as the top-selling current-generation console in the U.S.

June highlights from The NPD Group include:

· Xbox 360 sold 257,000 units in June, holding 47 percent share of current-generation console sales in the U.S. This marks the 16th consecutive month that Xbox 360 has held more than a 40 percent share of current-generation console sales in the U.S.

· Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in June (hardware, software and accessories) reached $272 million, the most for any console in the U.S. Consumers spent more on Xbox 360 products than they spent on the other two current-generation consoles combined.

· Xbox 360 held four of the top 10 U.S. console game titles, including the top three titles. Xbox 360 titles in the top 10 included: “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier,” “Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes,” “Max Payne 3” and “NBA 2K12.”

Xbox continues offering more ways to play with the launch of Kinect PlayFit, a new fitness dashboard that aggregates and tracks the calories you burn from playing Kinect games, including “Dance Central 2,” “Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012” and “Kinect Star Wars.”

Xbox 360 will also be at Comic-Con International in San Diego this week with a series of exciting events including “Halo 4” and “Gears of War” panel presentations."

I know Nintendo intimate PSP + PSVita = 100k, but I havent seen PS3 numbers.

This is slightly surprising the DS almost outsold the 3DS in the usa?



An NPD thread that isn't 10 pages long yet? :O

Overall, I'd say good tracking by vgchartz :)
