Forums - Sales Discussion - January 2015 NPD Thread! Hardware estimates up!

I am bias towards PS4 so I'll just get that out of the way. XBO only increasing 10% is really bad, regardless of two weeks being at $400

Damn those Wii U sales. At this point I don't see it hitting over 18 million worldwide lifetime. I really don't think it will outsell the Gamecube.

You're barely realising that?



People talking about a $150 price drop are clearly wrong. They created a version without the kinect, thats not a price drop as its a different product.

Cost of entry was reduced by $150. More people wanted the console with that cost of entry.

What's another term for a lower cost of entry? A price drop :p

Worst month ever for the 3DS from what I've been reading.

Should be 90k> it that's the case.

That'd mean the maximum for Vita+TV would be ~42k.

Note that just lower than 90k not a clue on how lower, as much as it could be 85k, it could be WiiU level.

We all remember how the 40GB PS4 that lacked backwards compatibility was considered a $100 price drop.  Why should we expect anything different?

Then again $50 + ($100 in perceived value for 2 free games)  or $70 + ($250 for in perceived value for 5 free games) during the holidays.

Is there any estimates yet? Is 3ds above 90k? 

Anywayz if Vita is around 40k, thats pretty good, especially for the past year or 2 in the US.

Less than 91k actually, 90k is the maximum 3DS sold the whole month (it obviously did worse).

The Vita number is using the 90k for 3DS, so its its maximum as well.

The actual number for both is lower.

3DS can easy be at <60,000... we don't have the number.

Last January was 93,000, versus 135,000 of 2013, this is 30% dropped.

With this trend, it is at 65,000 this NPD, but considering that N3DS incoming, maybe it is dropped even 40% to 50%.

Even 40,000 is possible, so, Vita can be easy to 22,000.

 

In any case, i predict 75,000 for 3DS.

So, let's say <36,000 for Vita
