Forums - Sales Discussion - December 2015 NPD Thread! PS4 and XBO exclusives LTD up!

nvm



Around the Network

from venture beat: "PlayStation 4 outsold Xbox One and Wii U in December. That makes it the best-selling system of the year by a wide margin."

I wonder how wide that margin is? VGC has it at about 860K, but to me "wide margin" should probably be 1 million.

A lot of the top 10 software has it selling better XB1.
No Halo or Tomb Raider but always going to be hard to outsell multi-plats

Don't forget the Sw and CoD hardware bundles for PS4, which NDP does not report in their software sales, even though they do capture that information. I wouldn't be surprised if Xb one is still #1 for CoD even accounting for bundles, but pretty sure SWBF will be #1 on PS4 when bundles are counted. Same with FO4, Xb one had a bundle and those sales are not reported in NPD.



 

Yeah I understand but then I saw FO selling better on XB1 and was a little surprised. But that has since been corrected. 



Congrats ps4!!

So the Wii U is overtracked on Vgchartz?

Also shocked halo 5 didn't make the top 10. It's been a bad launch by its former high standards.

Rainbow 6 has great word of mouth so good to see it selling well.

Did it outsell Wii U and x1 combined or do they mean both individually?

“December 2015 was the best month on record for PS4 and Xbox One, and the second-best for the Wii U in terms of new physical software unit sales,”

Anything we can get from this?



When is the last time Nintendo didn't have an sku chart in a December NPD or the full year top 10?

Not much

Xbox One up year over year

And PS4 greater than Xbox One.

We can get that games were flying off the shelves

Which would be nicer if the top 10 didn't look like that

XCX sold much better than expected????

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
