PS4 didn't do too great either but X1 still did very badly.
Vita did horribly, and Wii U did bad as usual. May NPD will have X1 much lower which is very worrying.

So how does VGChartz always overtrack the X1 so much?
Im pretty sure it will be below 100k in May but VGChartz will probably have 3 times the amount for some weird reason.

PS4 is doing good - Especially with the thin lineup they currently have.
There is a 100k difference - They won't need to fear the official 400$ X1 at all

Again.... PS4 did decent in a month between 2 huge launch months and after already sold a lot of units the previous months. People really need to see this again...

US NPD Hardware Total After 6 months

PS4 3,110,000
XBO 2,640,000
WII 2,480,000
PS2 2,130,000
XBX 1,880,000
NGC 1,530,000
360 1,500,000
PS3 1,280,000
WIU 1,120,000

Rounded to nearest 10k.

Those are official NPD numbers.

As everyone can see, PS4 have a huge lead over the rest after its first 6 months, and despite the huge advatage it took in Nov-Dec, is still 3rd between Jan-Apr.

To put some more perspective. X360 and PS3 in its first 6 months combined summed less than PS4 by itself. HOW PEOPLE CAN SAY PS4 IS DOING BAD???. Look, even XBO is not even doing that bad, it'll probably end the first 12 months beating X360 numbers too or at least, very similar.

And for some people discussing May numbers...., PS4 will do more than 300k probably just because Watch Dogs bundle. If Infamous SS did 370k for PS4 in a 5 week month, I expect WD to push more hardware per week. We have already Ben saying is already doing better pre WD release, and he was spot on in previous situations. XBO on the other side, will be similar to April numbers, around 100-120k, despite WD launch because the announcement of the "pricecut" in June.

Xbox 360 did over 270k in the U.S. in april 2006, so XOne is starting to fall behind that really quickly. Though the 360 did have more game releases at the time.

Yeah, but vita is dead. So... there is that very relevant fact. I repeat, very relevant fact.

I do. They should have tried to find another way. Frankly, I liked kinect and all the features that it allowed. I think getting rid of it was a terrible move. Yes, it was important to bring the price down...and there was probably a LOT of pressure from the higher ups to do something...but they should've tried something else.

Like I said months on months ago, xb1's main competitor is x360.

...This is not to say that xb1 is fine as it is, but that given what was launched and where they are, they needed to stick to the plan. Yes, they released a console whose main marketing campaign offered feature indistinguishable from x360, and they should have done something else....but now that it's done and launched and finalized etc, all they're doing is slowly killing its identity.

They're going to need to bring those games, and hard.

In my honest opinion, it looks like everyone is freaking out over at MS and there is no clear leadership.

There were similar complaints a few years back when Source was around. It seems that the wii was overtracked month after month. It was actually kind of funny, cuz people would play "how much will the wii be overtracked this month" games. It's understandable if it happens a couple of times, but not several months in a row. There's a problem with their sources and need to adjust them. Or whatever they were gonna predict that xb1 sold for a week, deduct 30% just to be closer to what the numbers will look like according to NPD.

PS4 going to drop in May? lol. Yes it's going to drop...a bomb...of huge sales!

First *week* sales, really. It's a may game.

Though i've never quite seen the appeal of Mario Golf myself.

BenVTrigger has an incredible track record and he called this months NPD a long time ago. He said both consoles dropped in sales but the XB1 was struggling. 115k sales for the month and the pre-emptive NPD announcement of a Kinect-less SKU for $400 and dropping the paywall for apps like Netflix only further strengthen his claim from weeks ago.

In this thread he already stated that MLB The Show sold incredible and that PS4 is already tracking ahead of April #s.

Considering his track record I would say it is very likely the PS4 sales go up. Remember, PS4 had no noticable releases in April. For May it has MLB 14 & Watchdogs.
