Forums - Sales - April 2016 NPD Thread! Hardware and software up!

Wow those Wii U numbers are bad ; _ ;

I know nintendo did say they predicted sales of only 800,000 world wide this year.. but seeing that 32k...

 

Also thank you Aqua for the numbers :)

Thank you Shadow for drawing a chart.

 

^ it happend.... cumulative sales over the same time periode, and PS2+Xbox is ahead of PS4+XBO.

Was hopeing the PS4 and XBO could track higher for longer.

Thanks aqua.

So despite all the x1 deals in April ps4 still wins. Barely up YOY but xbox worryingly a good chunk down. Next month will be brutal.

 

Edit: and holy shit @Wii U.  An average of 8k per week.  and it actually got a few games recently.  It's going to be brutal over the summer.

Only 8k? Wow Amazon is very useless as an indicator. This is the final update of April:
PS4 CoD bundle: #17 (↑1)
PS4 standalone: #90 (↑1)
PS Vita: #95 (—)
XBO Quantum Break bundle: #97 (↓3)

Amazon predicts the winner, not by how much tho.

At this point, Amazon has been 100% reliable when it comes to hardware.

You can already guess whos on top this month by looking at the chart, i invite you to the Amazon May thread.



"PSTV > 5k (up 100% YoY)"

So many hoarding "collectors" who are not interested in gaming but rather the scarcity of material products.

A 100% record is 'useless'? If it only got it right 80% of the time I'd still put my money on it. But I can see you want to move goalpost here so carry on.



 

The PS5 Exists.

I'm obviously talking about the difference between rankings and real numbers, but hey............



Ratchet 2nd makes my day seriously!

Dark Souls 3 is amazing aswell!

Bad for QB, game is not bad it just tried something different, Alan Wake 2 next please.



Wii U down about 25%, PS4 flat, Xone down. This isn't exactly setting the world on fire.



The doom and gloom on the XBO for a 10% down YoY, on a really slow month...



Tim and The Princes...

It's more to do with the fact that they went hard with the deals this month and were still down.  

 

On a positive note ps4+x1 are up on the corresponding month for the ps3+360
