Probably talking revenue, not units sold.

It is probably true for both, only PS4 will be up yoy I imagine as can be predicted from my Amazon post.

 

Edit: 3DS the majority of down yoy as it had new version last year. We talking 200k+ down.

For people who'll be watching NeoGAF for any leaks regarding numbers, these are their average predictions:

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - Feb-2016

1. PS4 - 368K
2. XB1 - 226K
3. 3DS - 107K
4. WIU - 54K

Sometimes leakers will simply say how accurate these were and which were too high and which were too low.

150k gap? seems to big for me.
this month xb1 was way more competitive with all that giftcard deals compared to january



I nearly forgot

PS4 is taking in less revenue per unit, so unless sales are up decntly then revenue will be down a bit. For the rest, sales will be down, and that means revenue is down. The big question is whether software revenue is growing. 

I think we can still use 20% rule of thumb for digital sales, but that was probably the same last year, so retail revenue for software probably paints an accurate picture of where software sales are headed.

PS4 wins

Gamers continue to flock to the latest hardware offerings from Sony and Microsoft, but only one can dominate this generation.

PlayStation 4 outsold the Xbox One once again at physical retailers in the United States in February, according to data from industry-tracking firm The NPD Group provided to GamesBeat by Sony Computer Entertainment America. This continues a streak of wins for Sony’s home console that extends back through the holidays. In the last 14 months, Xbox One has only outsold PS4 two out of the last 14 months. This has created a market where Sony is the clear the leader both in the States and worldwide — although the Xbox One continues to sell well and it is generating revenue both for Microsoft and for third-party publishers.

Here’s Sony’s full statement regarding the February NPD report:

“We would like to thank our fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top-selling hardware platform and the software sales leader in February, according to NPD. We continued to see strong year-over-year sales growth for PS4 hardware and software and are truly humbled by the support and enthusiasm from gamers. We will continue to deliver amazing gaming experiences with the upcoming launches of Ratchet & Clank, MLB The Show 16 and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.”
