March is a 5 week month... so it ends in April 5.
NPD is 17th.

Ahh yes I just read that in your prediction thread, thanks for the info.

This is why I lol'ed sorry.
And how X1 could cut lead when each week it's been outsold globally ?
Perharps you were talking about US. "No no rest of the world doesn't exist".
Japan's lust for the Vita is really crazy. Don't they know how doomed it is?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I know, though I haven't had much time to play it recently I love my Vita as well. However, I'm not sure about the future of handhelds - mobile is rising significantly in Japan as well, even the 3DS isn't immune, and if you look in one of the Japan-sales threads you'll see it's beginning a fairly steep decline year on year. Now it may well be saturation, but I think mobile is shrinking the potential number of people to sell handhelds to and there's a question mark over whether the market will be big enough to support 2 platforms in Gen9 |
People are going where the games are. They are by and large not on handhelds anymore. iOS probably gets more exlcusive games than Vita and 3DS combined. iOS and Android got more titles from major Japanese developers than both combined in more recent years. That shifting of development resources is why Vita and 3DS wont hit their predecessors hardware sales. People buy Hardware to use software.
Head over to metacritic and look at the amount of iOS games compared to handhelds. It's about 3 pages worth of games for Vita total and 3 pages for 3DS. I get 6 pages for PSP alone. 12 pages for DS. If I restrict iOS and only include the highest scoring iOS games I get 24 pages. It's cheaper and easeir to make those games and they don't have to worry about the hassles of certification and they get more money per sale.
If Sony and Nintendo continue down their current paths there is no future for handhelds.
| true_fan said: XB1 just needs to win US and UK, which they have been doing the last few weeks minus infamous/restock. With Halo 2 still coming this year I think XB1 will continue to cut down that ps4 lead. This fall if XB1 is the only console in Shanghai, that could be the Japan for XB1. |
I feel like the XB1 will win US and Uk just not by much. It will be a lot closer than last gen with the PS3/360. And it is not like the XB1 is doing bad by any means it is just not doing as good as the PS4. And for some reason that is bad to some people...I guess I just don't get it. Oh and are you saying it will continue to cut down the ps4 lead in JUST US/UK or are you meaning the lead in general? I am assuming you mean just the US/UK because bar the one week it outsold the PS4 globally the lead is growing not shrinking. Still though I personally think both systems are selling very well compared to the PS3/360.
OT:
Decent numbers for the most part. Most to be expected bar the Vita lol!
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

I actually think the One is doing pretty well. Its beating PS4 in the US...which shows there's a momentum change possibly happening there. I don't think Sony can afford to not be competitive in the US with PS4. If they don't stay on their toes MS will take back the US and UK. Sony needs to have a strong E3. And hopefully some big exclusives will launch for them soon.
I think global X1 sales will look a bit more healthy when you add on the missing regions. This should be fixed come September!
Well done VITA!
Damn son if it wasn't for Japan Vita would be dead.
70K is great.
