I'm so glad I chose the PS4 for my next-gen console of choice, it's a big time winner.

Also, can someone, who isn't a fanboy, please explain to me (and anyone else who lacks sales knowledge) what the Wii U is currently trending towards for total global sales in 2014?

Is it on track for 3 million or less as Pachter predicted or more?

hard to come to any conclusion with only one month of the years data but i think 3m is a sure shot

I'm not finding NPD's official number on Nintendo hardware. Is there a link?

All I can find is that there were no numbers released to NPD by Nintendo.

I'd guess that would only make VGC's prediction as good as NPD's.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I thought that as a community we had it clear that NPD as a source is the most reliable one for the US, even then, I see a lot of new users trying to discredit them

Second January NPD comparision (per Aquamarine at NeoGaf):

Wii (January 2008): 274K
PSP (Janaury 2007): 211K
N64 (January 1998): 162K
Dreamcast (January 2001): 100K
GameCube (January 2003): 81K
Wii U (January 2014): 49K
Sega Saturn (January 1997): 26K
Vita (January 2014): <17K

You can see what a disaster the Wii U and Vita are.

Makes you wonder where the baseline will be for Wii U sales after the Donkey Kong bump wares off.

Its gonna be a long, long drought for Wii U games between DK and MK. Nintendo are in trouble. Gonna be a bloodbath in Europe especially.

It's not like the others are fine either. people conveniently forget the others only have thief untill the end of march, where they will get titanfall/ infamous. then there's a drought untill watch dogs releases, wich could even be in june. and after that, the next big release is in september, destiny.

Huh?

January - Tomb Raider DE

February - Thief, Rayman Legends

March - Infamous Second Son/Titanfall, MGSV Ground Zeroes, Dynasty Warriors 8 

April - Final Fantasy XIV

May - MLB 15

June - The Elder Scrolls Online

What drought?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

LOL this thread is funny, thanks guys! Never thought some people would stoop this low tho, trying to make out we can't use NPD. You're on a sales website, check yourselves.

April/May are pretty soft for PS4/X1 ... but Wii U is in its second year, lol, PS4/X1 will have a loaded lineup by the time next year rolls around, Wii U is still stuck in drought-ville.

Yeah and that's not even counting Watch Dogs and Driveclub which don't have release dates yet. I'm really not seeing any game droughts for either system.
