Forums - Nintendo - Can a console beat the Wii record in the NPD sales?

 

Will a console ever sell more than 3.81 million in a NPD?

Nope, it is insanity... 30 68.18%
 
I think that is possible. 14 31.82%
 
Total:44

A ps4 price cut of 100$ the same day as GTA6 i think it can do it.
But this combination is not likely



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Holy shit. I didn't know it had that big of an NPD.

This will probably never happen again.

No. Not only was the Wii a high demand item at the time, but that number was also possible thanks to incredibly low stock in November.

It's never happening again.

But what is happen in December 2009 to breack this number?

Because i know that Wii is massive dropped in the normal month by 2008... somone know why this boost?

Some bundle, price drop, game, or other?

There was a pretty big shortage of Wii's in November of 2009. It only sold 1.25m that month. That's why Demcember was so huge.



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

Nope. Not even PS4 in its peak year.

What do you mean by "not even PS4"? You say that like the PS4 has the potential to put up big numbers, but it will already be hard enough for it to break the 2m barrier. Especially if Microsoft pulls off a stunt in every holiday season.

Anyway, it's not impossible to happen in future generations, but very, very, very unlikely. It certainly won't be beaten by a console manufacturer who is scared of moving outside of their comfort zone.

The basic premise here is that the console industry is on a decline, meaning every consecutive generation from now on will be worse than what PS4 will do.

Unless of course Nintendo finally comes to their senses and makes a deal with Sony to publish their games exclusively on their consoles which will prompt Microsoft to instantly quit the console business and leaves Sony with a real monopoly.



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

As someone said, it would be like Ps4 with a huge price cut and some heavy hitter bundled like GTA6 close to the holiday season

Honestly, i think that is ridiculous think that PS4 can break 4 million.

Even with 10 GTA and at 200€.

It will be lucky if will break 2,000,000, considering that it have sold just more than 1,000,000 last December.


Even 3,000,000 is crazy imo.



When the PS4 can be bought for about 10 dollars, and the launch of every big game is at the same time, then sure!



its possible but will never happen
