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

Interesting that PS4 buyers bought more NBA2K14 and FIFA ACIV, while XBO sold more COD, BF4 (shooters) but also Lego, Just Dance, Skylanders.

XBO getting more family/younger sales there and holding on to the shooter crowd as well. That's a good sign for MS. They need to get in with the youngsters/families to keep word of mouth building and to get the media services in as many homes as possible.

Keep in mind the domestic install base is still PS4 > XBO total, so theoretically they should move more software, but XBO has more third-party wins that PS4, despite selling reportedly more of the exclusives as well.

I still think Sony's issue is that PS+ actually hurts them in software as people are less likely to buy that 2nd or 3rd game when they are getting multiple free titles each month. I know I bought less PS3 software than 360 titles partially due to that reason. I already had stuff to play on there. Great for getting people to adopt the hardware, but it seems like it lessens software sales where they really make their money long-term.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

i honestly want rol to be a mod, even though i would guess there is a 50% chance i would get permabanned as soon as he gets his mod powers.

i dont want to be head mod, but just give me the ability to ban, thats all i am asking for


Hehe BANanaking...


see! its in my name! its in my banana blood! (yes! banana's have blood, thats TRUTHFACT!)



XB1 is meeting demand, but I wonder how it will look like for January...

PS4 is supply constrained, thought I'm not sure if that means it'll do very well in January...

Wii U being over 460K is good considering the circumstances, bad considering how Nintendo was in the past

3DS selling over a million is good, but if it's down YoY, then Lol @ those people who were like "OMG Pokemon will make this year its best year yet!!"

360 being the best last gen console is not too surprising, it was everywhere.

PS3 Well....it's a mystery!!

Vita No numbers? C'mon Sony, even Nintendo told us about Wii U's terrible 160K and 300K quarters worldwide. Don't be shy, no one's gonna hurt you...



Any Wii U or PS4 numbers yet? Someone spilled the beans?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

So now we get the spin...

PS4 is first in USA LTD!

Bubu, worldwide!

PS4 supply constrained!

Etc etc.

It's a good result for Xbox.

Mostly it (overall good showing in USA) means Xbox cant be ignored by third parties and is in no danger.

Now we move onto the next phase, how bad will PS4 win January? How much will Titanfall move the needle for X1 in March? When will Microsoft cut the XBO price to 399 so they have a fair chance?

No but WiiU heavily undertracked is all we know

so no full numbers yet.

PS4 was calculated because it has to Dec+Nov>XBO, but mind filling me how the Wii U number was figured?

 

Sometimes it's tough trying to read every last post on GAF, or here, to try to figure out the source of these estimations.
