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

US is gonna be tightly contested this gen Congratz to Sony for taking back market share and actually making it competitive.

I still see the One having the edge in the US though. With decent software for Kinect MS has the better casual appeal and with titles like Titanfall (which i think will have a big impact on hardware sales for the one) and Halo coming i think they have the core market sorted out as well.

I think Sony will need to announce some sort of accessory that appeals to casual gamers otherwise they are handing over a huge segment of the market to MS. They also need Naughty Dog to be on its game with U4 which will probably be the biggest draw in the US come holiday 2014. If they do this then maybe they can remain competitive with MS in the US.

Worldwide probably wont be as close with PS4 taking a comfortable lead...but you never know

Looks like all of my NPD predictions were correct.

XBONE would slightly beat PS4

and

PS4 plus XBONE would heavily beat 3DS


Are there any numbers for the 3DS yet?

No, but the prediction was (PS4+XBONE)>3DS. Not PS4>3DS and XBONE > 3DS. It was really just a counter prediction to POE's.



This thread has been fun.

 

Looking forward to Sony + Ninty numbers!

Try dealing with these kind of users/posts everyday in the forums, lol. sad thing indeed.

I'm glad I don't have to or else I would be banning about 50% of the userbase! Logic appears to have gone completely out of the window just lately.


If i was on a certain 4chan board something along the lines of : "DO IT swearword" would be my response :D

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

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. 

Yep, it's like famousmortimer said, it was really ~2.8M. 

@ OP

Congrats to MS.  Of course, I doubt the gap is that large.  And I'm sure Sony would have beat them if they had actually been able to get out more consoles.  It's cool, though.  Xbox fans can have this one.  MS needs to focus on the US, where they actually seem to stand a chance, while Sony can have the world. 



Any Wii U numbers ?

I don't want to keep posting the same posts again and again so I advice people who want me to answer something to just read through the thread. PS4 has launched in 50+ countries so it's impossible to add them up PLUS they said 4.2m. Rounding up from 4.0 or 4.1m to 4.2m would be utterly unnecessary. Why not round up to 4.5m then? Lol

Ah, so THAT´s the explanation for THOSE numbers! You so funny :).

Anyways, congratulations to sony and ms for posting awesome US sales and for reaching 4.2 and 3 million respectively.
