Forums - Sales Discussion - August 2015 NPD Thread! PS4, XBO, Wii U estimates up!

Burek said:
I think this might be a month XOne might squeeze out a tight victory. Madden bundle, Gears re-release might be just enough to make it jump over PS4 by a couple of percentage points.

You need to jump on the Amazon bandwagon. That way you will never be wrong about NPD [hardware winner between PS4 and Xb one].

What happened to that tweet? Did it get taken down? And they've delayed the numbers by 1/2 hour. Which is why the radio silence for the last 25 minutes I guess.

Mmmm ... Let's wait for another source lol. I'm still 100% certain about Amazon's 100% record.

No, VGChartz sometimes craps out and doesn't show Tweets.

Also, Amiibo sales in the US have passed 7 million, Splatoon 600k! http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/10/nintendo-has-sold-7-million-amiibos-in-the-u-s-since-november/

Gears/Madden bundles. Plus Best Buy X1/TV deal earlier in the month.
TV ads for Madden... and Xbox didnt win August.

Until dawn moved more consoles? or One Piece? people just prefer the ps4?
Xbox One should have had a shot to win this month, at this point Im not sure what it ll take for MS to win a month.

I predicted the PS4 would win this month... mainly  because it never losses any months but... this month should have been one of those that it could have happend.



PS4 first... expected I guess.

Same for next month (big gap?) and finally a battle in Oct.
