Ok, this shouldn't be that difficult. Hardware is what, 56% better than last year, right? Last gen hardware sales are down YOY, so let's say new gen hardware sales are up 56%. When you do the math, last years sales of 360/PS3/Wii U were roughly 350,703. Let's multiply that by .56 and we get 196,393. Now we add the two numbers and we get 540,793. Wii U is estimated at 69k, which leaves us with 478096 between PS4 and X1. We know PS4 won the month but we don't know by how much. There's a start. A great first October for both. Bottom line: combined, they're up 70 in sales their first year compared to their predecessors. Good stuff. November is gonna be huge for both.

Again, this isn't 100% obviously, but it's a snapshot.

But so, some like Wii U 70K, Xone 200K, and PS4 280K?



Yeah I totally agree. VGC should make it so that in order to be a member, you have to pay some nominal monthly fee (like a dollar or something), and then that money goes towards paying to see the NPD data each month. If everyone gave a little money we could easily reach that $5,000 mark or whatever it ends up being.

It isn't that simple, I imagine part of the NPD subscription agreement is that you do not have permission to share or republish the numbers. Even within places like Sony, Microsoft etc they don't get to share the NPD numbers to the whole company, they are just available to the section and people that have paid access.

Thats what I just said.

Incidentally... where the hell is Driveclub?  200k according to VGC??

It didn't make VGC's top 10 (individual SKUs), were you expecting it to make NPD's? We have no list except for the combined SKUs


Driveclub sold below 66k units.
