Forums - Sales - November 2014 NPD Thread!

Aura7541 on 11 December 2014

Well, things have definitely taken an interesting turn. We still have December left, so do you guys think the X1 will outsell the PS4 in Nov + Dec more than the PS4 has outsold the X1 from Jan - October?

On a negative note, the Wii U numbers just get worse and worse. I wonder if the next Wii will be announced at E3 next year or the one after.


If they announce anything else with Wii in the name its DOA.

I'd assume that PS4 is fairly spot on, while the X1 is a bit overtracked? Not sure.

Both overtracked. 
PS4 by about 250k

X1 by about 200-230k


The last two weeks PS4 was adjusted down by approximately 200k, so if they adjust it down again with 200k after the NPD I call BS.

So it looks like SOny will have a 500k lead by the end 2014 and after their second Xmas. That's an incredible turnaround from the PS3/360 gen.

Gotta spin x1 good numbers somehow huh?


So facts are now considered spin! That's actually some serious spinning right there, ironic :)

I'm going to make a thread in the next few weeks about the name of the next console if they bother making one. I actually can't think of anything good. The Wii success was it's downfall in a way.  Or it might be better to say MS and Sony were the downfall of nintendo home consoles and the Wii was a flash in the pan.

Quite happy the 7k thing turned out wrong. All the closing the gap 7k at a time was smug and annoying.

I'm glad that I waited and didn't knock the XBO for only selling 7-10k more, or else I would have had to eat my own words pretty quickly.


Not that many ppl eating their words though right? Lol

Why would they have to?  Most, if not all, still stayed skeptical (even if still optimistic) and put IF in their sentences.

They have to. NPD is more credible so adjustments will come.

Very.

And it spread like wildfire

PS4 at 840k :-/



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

BS. 

PS4 is the fastest selling console of all-time, and here on this site, it is not even close.
