Source for the 400k gap please. Also, that tweet doesn't mention that it is US only at all, it could very well be US+UK.

Doesn't this practically say Nintendo made the most money this month?

Don't you mean Sony?

No i mean Nintendo^

Because Sony are selling at a higher price (making profit on every unit sold) and outsold Nintendo by a huge amount on both hardware and software.... yeah, sounds legit...


Your definitely not taking everything into account. HW thats higher in terms of price =/= more profits. Second Nintendo has 3 First Party titles that sold tremendously well with Halo being in the top 4. These games make their respective companies alot more money than games that are third party (that would sell the same amount).

 

If anybody can bring up that estimate of each publisher/developer makes per game? I forgot hw much a 1st party game makes compared to a third party

Wow, I'm surprised MCC did that bad.

We don't know it did?

Which game should it have beat in that top 10?

No you're right. I thought it was behind Smash Bros Wii U. Didn't realize is was both Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U.

Did you seriously list Star Fox as a possible system-seller for next year? O.o

Frankly, I don't see Zelda doing much. Skyward Sword performed moderately at best given the popularity of the Wii and the franchise's own standard, plus A Link Between Worlds dropped off really quickly and its sales left so much to be desired, especially considering how acclaimed it was. I really think Animal Crossing is NIntendo's remaining only hope for a really big release.


I didn't mean as an actually system seller, im talking about a hard push like What MS just did with the X1 (had Haloa remake, and many others with good bundles, etc for that huge push)

Yeah, although I doubt Star Fox will convince many people to pick up a console. I mean, I don't even expect it to reach Tropical Freeze numbers... it's been a niche franchise for a long time now.

That seems much more likely.

I think it will be close between nintendo and sony since ps4 sold amazing with pratically no pricecut

and amiibos sold like 700k in 2 weeks plus smash

itll be close

SSBU+ SSB 3DS+ORAS all which are 1st Party Games (meaning more profits :0)

3rd party PS games probably outsold them by atleast 10:1 so platform royalties should still outmatch whatever Nintendo made from that, plus Sony didn't have to pay anything to produce those games unlike Nintendo.

What at least 10:1? Says who? Also produce the games?

Wait for him to confirm it's NPD and not us and UK combined.

Looks like it. Some GAF members say that those 1.2M X1s are cumulatively from US + UK. Makes sense since neither side's PR boasted about selling over 1 million in the US.
