Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2015 NPD Thread! Hardware and software in OP!

Looking as an Xbox One owner: great numbers, but not enough. Microsoft had Forza Motorsport 6, Ori and the Blind Forest, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Rare Replay, Halo 5: Guardians and even that marketing deal with Bethesda for Fallout 4. And with all these options, they choose a remaster to be the cheapest Xbox One bundle for the holidays. If it's easier to make this things with first-party games, you put Halo 5: Guardians there.
Honestly, it looks like Microsoft is not caring enough about market share, which is getting worse every day worldwide. And even doing a fantastic job in rebuilding the Xbox One reputation, they fail in some areas that are supposed to be easier. It's logic: when PS4 was US$ 399 and Xbox One US$ 349, Xbox One won only in October (and maybe another month, but even that way...), and in the most important month of the year, they accept price parity with Sony. It just doesn't make sense to me.

So did the ps4 outsell the Wii U by over 6:1?

Yes. Over. 

I feel this is one of those landmark moments.  2008 the ratio was probably similar but instead the PS3 sold 350k and the Wii around 2m I think?  

 

This is one of the greatest turnarounds ever in gaming history.

Judging from Vgchartz

3DS: 360 000

Vita: 20 000 

3DS wins by 18:1  ----> Tripple than PS4:WiiU 


Problem is you're judging from Vgchartz.  They weren't very accurate for the ps4 this month?  Vita TV had a huge sale so the ratio is nothing like that.  But again the ps4 sales are insane the 3DS are not. 

Obviously im using VGChartz because Sony didnt even mentioned about the Vita!

And why are you comparing to a home console against a handheld?

And comparing something that released just over 2 YEARS to a nearly 5 YEARS product? Were you expecting the 3DS to sell 1million like the PS4?

Actually 2008 was one of the greatest turnaroungs in gaming history, nobody expected that, with this gen it's a bit different since (almost) everyone knew WiiU's fate even before PS4's release.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Horrible sales for Nintendo this holiday.

I think the point was that VGChartz has things pretty wrong right now w/o the official numbers plugged in.  If they were accurate, todays announcement and ensuing pages of comments would've probably played out a bit differently.  On the other hand, is the 3DS pummeling the VITA a surprise to anyone? heh



PS4 and x1 did really well. Good month

Outside of the abyssmal sales of Vita, Sony has always had a strong following. Nintendo however went from king, to underdog, to king, to underdog. They are totally unpredictable and achieved what will always be one of the greatest turnarounds ever in gaming history with the sales of Wii off the back of the GCN (unless the NX can pull off another Wii off the back of the Wii U).

Well im just glad that VGChartz was able to get their sales back up and going, we probably still back in September by now. But since Sony doesn't give us Vita sales, we have Vgchartz to rely on. 

And same thing goes to the PS4 and the Wii U. I'll be surprised if anyone is surprised how the PS4 is slaying the Wii U =D
