So much for GT6.

People need to really understand how amazing it is that Nintendo keeps their franchises relevant for so long, it's not an easy thing to do.

2mill in 5 weeks, so irrelevent



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Canada + Mexico is close to 10% US sales.

Brazil I could give you anything from 20k to 30k.

Australia I´ve heard they sold 50k launch week, so, another 100k with NZ total.

Yep, MS wasn´t lying.

180k + 30k + 100

Still missing 300k.


Well, MS realy should be punished for a 5% error...

I wonder how many PS4 had. BF4, CoD, KZ, Madden, AC maybe FIFA?

The multiplatform are the same listed for Xbone One... so there are more 4 spots to games that didn't released on Xbone... Killzone, Knack, 3D Mario, and?

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.


O_o... You're not exactly Nostredamus with that prediction...

another user predicted that 3DS will beat xb1 and ps4 combined, he is just calling him out on his insane prediction. 

Fair enough.

PR From MS:

During the month of December, Xbox One held six of the top 10 spots on the new generation console game title list: “Battlefield 4,” “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” “Ryse: Son of Rome,” “Madden NFL 25” and “Call of Duty: Ghosts” (Source: NPD Group, December 2013).


WoW and GT6 did not even chart!

Yeah wow, Forza was one of the best selling next gen games, who would've thought that....

Sounds like Wii U numbers might be above 460k which wouldn't be as bad as thought, though not exactly something to throw a party over either (GameCube did better than that basically in every December it had).

 

Gamecube also had Zelda/Metroid/Mario/Luigis Mansion/Pikmin/Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Starfox and a bunch of other great games in the 1st 18 months.   The numbers the Wii U is putting out considering there is only 1 or 2 console sellers (SM3DW and NSMBU) for the 1st 14 months is actually not that bad.   Wii U should be killing Gamecubes numbers next December unless Smash Bros gets delayed.


Hope springs eternal. GameCube had $99 and Mario Kart its third Christmas, Wii U ain't matching that. 

Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, and Pikmin 3 are on the Wii U too and Zelda was not out on the GCN at this point outside of Japan, nor was StarFox. 


We will just have to wait and see.  The Gamecube sold 7 million copies each of Smash Bros and Mario Kart, and without those 2 the console may have sold unless 10 million.  Wii U is at 5.3 million without either already.  I'm not saying Wii U will outsell PS4 or anything, but I think it is going to end up with N64 number, not gamecube numbers.

 If Microsoft published those numbers, they are not lying, I do not think you really understand what would be impact if they were lying... Also I do not see you trying to prove so hard numbers for others companies :) Just let it go now lol...


great, now he will just post these 2012 CES numbers again and claim they were lying back then as well. Was that necessary?

tbh "everybody lies" - House

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

You may have moved too early BananaKing. What was the Wii U in it's debut NPD? I'm seeing 425k, so indications are Wii U rather handily undertracked.

That's a turnout for the books, eh?


then happy gifs?! need some help? i got some good happy dance gifs? i shall join you! 

but lets wait until we are sure. 

also, Jan NPD will be as interesting as this one.

It is times like this you must return to the classics.

 

Seriously, I didn't predict the Wii U to do so well. If, indeed, it is official (I doubt)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
