is not that bad, XboxOne is also down YoY in respect to WiiU ;)

Do you even know what YOY means? Evidently not ....

I will phrase it like i would do it for a little girl for you to understand.

XONE is also down YoY if you where to compare it to WiiU 2013 Jan monthly sales


Bwhahahaha.

"I will phrase it like I would for a little girl for you to understand... I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M SAYING!"

Attempt at seeming cool, massive fail.

Which is sad, because I like your ST: TNG footer.

Simple fact is this generation will be the first (to my knowledge) not to outsell the previous one.

Thats a sad fact for any gamer.

I think:
Xone will be down although I couldn't estimate how bad yet
3DS will be down about 50%
Wii U and Vita will be massively down
PS4 has a good chance of being up but it has zero chance of being up enough to offset the drops above.

Wii and DS gave an 'artificial' boost tho, it could never be sustained. And something can't keep growing and growing infinitely. Even smartphones will slow down one day!

h, I noticed that later, it just happened that I scrolled down the first few pages and I saw like 3 users that joined late 2013 or 2014 basicaly not knowing what NPD was.

 

Oh, and Go Vita! haha

Well it's more likely that they are alt of banned or embarassed of showing off after ridiculous claims.

 

Go Vita. I hope it survives enough so I can buy it for second screen.

u expect like a organizational chart with creamsuger listed or a cv with his position there?  Accept the word of 99% of this forum that this guy is credible for Npd and wouldn't just post to doom others a fake leak.

About his Neogaf credentials go to the site and track him, for the numbers scroll down  On npd thread there.


So it's a guy on Neogaf vs. VGC....

I just don't think we really know enough to tell.

Still, where's the link? I'm not on neogaf -- where do I find it?

I'm not in gaf as well but you can search there. But it isn't him against vgc is npd numbers provide by him vs vgc numbers (which even ioi - the owner - would agree is more precise than his). But if it makes you fell happier pretend he changed ps4 and wiiu names on the report by accident.

Agreed but I didn't expect it to drop so drastically, at least thats the way its looking.

What I worry about is companies going bust and having another video game crash, although thats very drastic and unlikely.

It feels like in a few more years we're only gonna have the really big companies then indies left and even those big companies could struggle. Take Ubisoft, if Watch Dogs bombs, Just Dance does a Guitar Hero (its only a matter of time) and people get series fatigue over Assassin's Creed all in quick succession it would hit them really hard.

These big publishers are becoming to reliant on certain franchises. I think Activision are in for a shock with CoD this year, I think thats kinda had its day now.

Can't find his thread on Neogaf. Can you post the link please?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

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?


Well if it keeps up the current pace, Patchers estimation just might be accurate. We'll have to see if games like MK8 and SSB are still system sellers. I believe it's plausible that if MK8 is bundled for the holiday season  (with a price drop to $249.99 )that the Wii U could sell around 7 million consoles this year despite it's current decrease YoY. Unfortunatelty, we really won't know what state it is in until MK8 releases and whether or not the game can still carry the same sort of appeal as last gen. Same thing goes for SSBU.



" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

Im talking about a public traded company that just deals soley in video games. Come on catch up already. Playstation and Xbox do  not have to deal with shareholers like Nintendo does. Sony  and Microsoft do. Meaning Sony....and.....Microsoft....have .....other.....products..... not ......just.....gaming......see i think i should just talk slow for you so you an understand.

Seriously Seece you know what im talking about WiiU is a bomb, so is Xbox ONE, market is dying and only 3DS and PS4 will survive, barely, its time for a change. A big one.

So sad. The WiiU is not doing well and the Xbone is selling below expectations because it's expensive, so the market must be doomed. Whatever makes you feel better about the failings of your favored company i guess!


thats funny coming from you! lol



LMFAO!!!!!!! will you guys read the fine print of NPD then come back and apologize,thanks......SMDH
