Forums - Sales Discussion - June 2014 NPD Thread! PS4: 269k, XBO: 197k, Wii U: 140k

And to think the Xbox One's downfall could've been prevented if MS just made it a regular console from the get go. It's a shame really, with the 360 following they gained in gen 7, they probably could've been toe to toe with the PS4, maybe even surpass it and win a gen for once...

So PS4 is severely under tracked, while XBone is very over tacked on this site?

July's NPD will be interesting for Xbone. Hope it maintains at least 140-150k in July. Also Great PS4 numbers.

No both were undertracked, PS4 more so than Xbox.



The Nintenpire Strikes Back?

Good Wii U bump, good Tomodachi sales.

Woah! I wake up to a pretty good number for X1! You guys need to calm on your doom before numbers are confirmed.

Who's doing any real "dooming", though? Also, we have numbers (check the OP - or the link I just posted).

I'm talking about the people proclaiming Xbox One could be under Wii U and 3DS. Not talking about now.



well i guess the thead i made about xbone+wii u closing the gap still holds true.

everybody said, "i cant wait for npd, ps4 will have 50%+ and ill bump this thread and laugh at rubberwhistlehistle for his moronic claim that ps4 is declining while xbone and wii u are inclining derp."

guess my thread wont get bumped. maybe ill just bump it myself.

No one's really dooming the One as far as the US goes.  It's its performance outside of the US that is the concern.  Though, there is the fact that this is a 5 week month compared to April's 4 weeks (I say April, since May was lower than it would have normally been because of the early price cut announcement.)  In April, the One sold 115K, which is ~29K per week.  This month was 5 weeks and the One sold 197K, which is ~39K per week.  Now, like I said, May was unusually low because of the announcement of the price cut, so June also represents pent up demand for the One from last month.  So, let's just say the One would have also sold 115K in May, if there had been no announcement until E3, which is 38K more than what it did sell.  Take that away from this month and you get 159K, which would make it ~32K a week, or a mere 3K a week boost.  In other words, the boost wasn't that great and July isn't going to be pretty.

The numbers for this month also pretty much negate those who believe the One has really any shot at overtaking the PS4 in the US.  The PS4 really had nothing significant this month, yet outsold the One by ~70K, which saw get a 5K a week boost.  This is with both of them being the same price, something that many MS fans were saying was the PS4's only advantage.  Guess they were wrong.



So I dont get NPD you release Nintendo s numbers way before the other two. Then when they are released they are WAY different then May's which seem, to me, were pretty accurate. VGCHARTZ and NPD in May were close in numbers with all systems. Now this month the PS4 is way off and the only one is. But here is the last fact woth everything to tie all this questioning in. Mario Kart is still kicking ass and moving consoles and yet Watch Dogs and UFC have stalled yet the PS4 JUMPs so high. Dont get it something doesnt smell right

Who cares what someone said before numbers were posted? They look silly on their own terms, without a single act of rebuttal.


Technically they were posted. Its just that noone really knew what "more than double" meant for Xbox One. When someone said MS didn't get that from NPD people automatically went with "its gotta be lower than 154k!!" So as I see it, close to 200k is pretty good.
