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

Still..I'm more curious about the other next-gen systems numbers now (Wii U, 3DS and PS4 in particular).

Guess we have to wait for Cream.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Good number for XBO, 908k for a $500 console is very impressive. Plus it shows that the next gen battle for the US isn't going to be easy. I'm eagerly awaiting on PS4 and WiiU.


Honestly I'm starting to think if MS can get to relative price parity or even within $50 soon, they can start to take it to Sony in the US. 

US = XBox Land. Sony's brand has fallen a lot in the US, XBox is the defacto brand for hardcore gamers now. 

It's too early to say that now. XBO isn't going to drop the price too quickly like the WiiU did, they're not in that state of desperation yet. And keep in mind that the PS4 was completely out of stock in December so we don't have a clearer picture of demand yet. If history has taught us anything,  is that brand loyalty means very little for consoles in the US. Look how quickly people switched from Nintendo to Sega, then back to Nintendo, then over to Sony, and then to Microsoft. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

"According to the latest NPD report, PlayStation 4 remains the cumulative leader for next gen console sales in the US since the launch on November 15," said Sony's senior director of corporate communications, Dan Race."


PS4 install base>>>>Xbone install base

You should look at ioi´s post, take a deep breath and maybe accept that both consoles sold what they said they sold? What is so bad about that?

ioi post add up 2.9m... MS said over 3 million... and some numbers he showed didn't match with some trackers. 



tlol, am i seeing this right? people saying sony rounded up. oh my. who the fuck would round to 4.2 so awkward lol. bigdifference in rounding up 50k (to the closest 100k aka sony) and 500k ( to the closest million aka ms)



Yup big congrats to MS. Well done for a $500 machine to be able to sell at these numbers shows how strong their brand and marketing is.

Sony wouldn't be able to do it at that price. No chance.



"Overall retail sales are down 2% year over year."

Wake up call for the industry, low sales are not "cyclical" and a new gen or even record selling new hardware doesn't automatically improve software sales.

last month, MS were the only ones providing numbers and people called it "spin".
How would you call this statement now?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
