PS3 and 360 numbers make me sad. There's still life in ya's yet, drop that price Sony and MS.

Damn those Xbone One Europe sales are bad.

You have to wonder if Sony is ever going to drop the hammer on SCEA for their impossibly bad performance with the Vita compared to the other regions.

Then again, maybe they've truly got their hands tied that tightly with the PS4 given it's the competitor in North America and all that.

Didn't expect the PS4 to outsell the 3DS at pretty much any point this year, have to say I'm pretty fucking shocked right now. Wii U drop doesn't surprise in the slightest, was expecting 50k on the dot... But 360 does. Bet Pachter was right about that talk of a price drop next month after all.

Microsoft seems to be doing pretty well on the software side with the XBox One in the US. For those 30 top selling titles we have:

XBox One: 123,813

PS4: 57,203

Wii U: 68,852


Check your numbers again.

Thanks, it seems I missed an XBox One game. These are the numbers I get now:

XBox One: 139,163

PS4: 57,203

Wii U: 68,852

I hope I didn't make anymore mistakes.

here the total and not just the 30 top:

X360 663,088 (-42%) 480,939,455
PS3 493,651 (-40%) 304,782,284
Wii 254,112 (-39%) 439,826,651
XOne 174,786 (-38%) 4,998,182
3DS 174,335 (-43%) 38,668,030
DS 149,757 (-43%) 340,318,316
PS4 135,200 (-32%) 4,350,533
WiiU 126,888 (-28%) 9,000,311
PC 59,367 (-41%) N/A
PSV 32,748 (-44%) 6,095,962
PSP 27,480 (-43%) 96,357,751

A lot of people are saying that Xbox One sales are bad in Europe because it's only released in 13 european countries? Can we not check the % of sales that these countries usually contribute to the total sales for Europe and extrapolate the sales for the other countries?

I would imagine that its not that much?

Just looking at the PS4 sales in Europe - UK, Germany and France already account for more than half of its sales.

Pretty bad drop for Wii U. Maybe Wii Fit U could help save things, but Nintendo seems to have given up on advertising any of their casual titles, so probably not.

I think the Wii U is being undertracked by a decent amount because Wii Fit U was released Jan 10 in the USA on retail. That had to push the Wii U sales above 70k.


or maybe people dont give a crap about WIi fit anymore

I hope the Wii____ series is dead. Then Nintendo can get those developers working on better games.

oh im sure its pretty much dead

Until you realise wii party U is at 1m.

should have been higher than that. Only one terriority cares about that game. 

Games like these typically have very very strong legs. Look at wii party u. It debuted at 7.6k in US and 12.5k in Europe. It's now at 160k+ and 190k+ in both territories respectively. Not too shabby for a so called "dead" game. Obviously, it's down gen over gen, but it's to be expected when your instal base is 20x smaller. Also, wiifit U debuted at 20k+ in the US alone, expect that game to sell 3m+ lifetime WW. It's going to have very, very strong legs. Just like wii party U.


thats still a massive drop and IMHO nothing to be proud of. This is the series that put the WIi on the map and moved consoles. In the grand scheme of things, legs dont matter that much, its failing to move consoles and thats what its supposed to do.

How much of that is because its force bundled with every Wii U in Japan over the holidays? Wii Party U is a dissapointment in North America and Europe.

I am quite surprised too.

I assumed PS4 would eventually outsell 3DS but with Japan and not while being outsold everywhere.

 

Again, unnoticed, PS3 is doing really great. PS3 neck in neck with Wii U in Japan for instance shows great lets for PS3, also seen in the software charts.

Well, we are now in January and the Xbone is still holding solid sales numbers... Given the start in May last year for Xbone MS has done a great recovery job!

Looks like Xbone won't be a Wii U as many suggested it would be... Last year the Wii U was at 43,387 world wide week ending January 12th... Xbone over 100,000 and is only in 13 markets week ending January 11th.

Nice to see the Wii U actually went up year-over-year as well... Even if it is only about 10K more.

Good to see PS4 doing really awesome. They did a good job with PS4...
