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

So, PS4 won again NPD. My forecast : PS4 will win also Jul, Aug, Sept and Oct NPD.

Wow. PS4 is a beast. Good to know others are also doing well.


Objectively speaking these aren't really good sales, the industry is in a bit of a funk for sure. PS4 is ok, but it's not selling like the PS2 or Wii were for their respective first June month's in NPD. XOne and Wii U are doing relatively poorly. 

I don't get how people can keep saying this. Its almost like the naysayers just conveniently throw aside all reason and keep saying the same stuff hoping that somehow it becomes true. 

Between the PS4/XB1/WiiU 606k consoles were sold in june. Average console prcie is $366. And the consoles selling the most cost $400. For what you are saying to be true, then it means that in the 6th gen, PS2 era sales of consoles first june that had  3 platforms on th emarket sales must be over 606k. Same thing goes fot the first june of the 7th gen with 3 consoles on the market. You will find that at least with the 6th gen, that wasn't teh case. The 7th was different cause well, we had the wii.

Important things to note is the average cost of consoles, which of the consoles were selling the best and how many sales in total. If the XB1 wasn't selling 197k, then the PS4 would be selling over 450k per month. Sales of individual consoles this gen seems lower overal cause as badly as the wiiU and XB1 are doing compared to the PS4, they are still doing very well individually. The industry isn't in a funk, we jsut have 3 platforms all doing well. With exception to the wiiU since its been out longer.

So with these numbers, does that mean the PS4 didn't actually go below 100k?

All the doom was for NOTHING??

As long as the EU and Rest of the World numbers are accurate then no, it stayed above 100k each week because it was undertracked by 14k a week on average in the US.  It may have stayed over 110k all month

I do. But I prefer Xbox One and PS4. IMO Wii U selling well would be bad, then Nintendo would think they are right and make another Wii. If Wii U sells bad then they might think they need to change some things up and come out with a much much better console next time.

Sorry to those that like the Wii U the way it is though...

Yup.. Sorry to those who like a great console with many awesome exclusives... I will go back to MK8 if you don't mind!

Well, surprising to see xb360 behind Wii. Thought it was far ahead by now. Pretty interesting charts.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Have fun!

No, he shouldn't have fun. It will only make Nintendo think that MK doesn't need battle arenas or more diverse characters.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Seeing as how MK8 might cause better legs than kinectless sku, could we see Wii U beating XB1 in July? Seems like a 50/50 chance

Marvelous, Sony despite being out marketed, despite having been matched price wise, with Microsoft's little price cut, they are dominating Microsoft's turf month by month......


Thats in home consoles, handhelds tell another story.

Yeah, it's probably really close between Vita and Windows phone so Vita is almost certainly not dominating there.

In August you mean!? I doubt it, but maybe with some more releases the wii u has a better chance than the xbox one.



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

If MK8 couldnt help Wii U do it in May or June, I don't see it happening at all this year.
