Forums - Sales - April 2014 NPD Thread!

May be this quote might help us stimate PS4 sales...

“[Home] console hardware sales increased by 120 percent in April 2014 over last year,” said Callahan. "

Use last year NPD numbers and lets assume PS3 drop the same level as the 360 and WiiU is flat YoY.

The PS4 shortage in the US is 100% over.


Shortage is over for consumers but Sony is still probably working at stock stores to appropriate levels. Only thing I can think of

360 says 32 months in a row baby

How many months in a row do you think the PS2 held it? Do you think it was over 100? It could have been. I don't feel like checking.

Don't forget the PS1.

I felt that would be less interesting to him since the PS1 didn't compete directly against a Microsoft platform.

Bundled copies don't count, even physical copies. Similar to Media Create, they never count NSMBU from bundles.


Ah, that would explain it somewhat then, if NPD don't count bundles but VGC now does.

I seem to remember Creamsugar talking about what % of Vita's sold were the Walking Dead bundle last year, though, so there must be some measurement on NPD.

Could be true. I know shipment levels for May so far have been huge from Sony.

Probably, but I live in Canada though so I was talking more in regards to that. Although now that I think about it he was probably talking about US stock so...


Oh ok that's fair. I don't have any information on stock levels in Canada.

Stock isn't perfect. I live in South Texas and it is still  hard to find one in stores. Of course, there's always Amazon but that's not for everyone. Overall I'd say stock issues are near gone though not eliminated. Outside the US though I still think there are legitimate stock shortages. 



I want some Nintendo numbers!!!
