Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2013 NPD Thread! Everything is in the OP!

Well, this has gone slightly better than I had anticipated. Good!

Aside from 3DS. Numbers are still good but they should be better.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

From NeoGaf:

[*]Tearaway - ~14K

Ouch. Wonderful 101 looks like it has some competition for bomb of the year alongside Puppeteer.

Knack, Puppeteer, Little Big Planet Racing, Playstation All-Stars, Tearaway all seems like relative duds for Sony.

My theory is demographics are shifting ... cartoony games are what people want to play on iOS/Android devices while consoles become more dudebros centric.

I think they were never designed to sell well. Those games are a way to raise the Playsation brand image : this way, people associate Sony consoles with innovation, risk-taking, poetry, art rather than senseless shooting, and unconciously tend to prefer them. It works wonderfully for PS4 btw...

i find that last one hard to believe 



I never understood these NPD threats.
Do they only give xbox numbers or something?



So, what about the 3DS situation? 770K seems rather low given the powa of Pokemon, Zelda and the 99$ 2DS. We might be reaching saturation fast here. The 18m objective is now completely out of reach : it sold roughly 3m in the US so far, probably as much in Europe, and 4m in Japan. They're not selling 8m in December+Q1.

Nintendo threw all its trump cards this year, there is no game capable of selling the system in 2014, even in Japan. It's going to slow down dramatically after the holidays.
