So have Xbox One sales been down YoY every month this year so far?

Down in January, February and April, up in March. Down 6% YoY for the first 4 months combined.

So last month The Division's Marketing rights saved Xbox One from being down YOY ?.

And the temporary price cut. It started on March 20.



Oh, I can share this, too.

Xbox (XB1 + 360): 65K

 

The Division (including bundles)

XB1: 91K

EA titles:

UFC 2 = 78K (best-selling EA title)

Star Wars Battlefront = 43K (-52% YOY from Battlefield) (3.97 million LTD) (-9% YOY)

Another comparison I can share.

This compares NPD software sales throughout 2015 and 1Q 2016 for Activision franchises:

 

I can do this with other publishers!



Thanks for the data, Aquamarine. :)

Interesting idea.

Just to be completely sure: is WIU just the Wii U and not Wii + Wii U?

Just the Wii U!

And I can do it for other publishers as well.



I'm guessing some of those doesn't have bundles?



Interesting Activision software seems to sell better on the Xbox family side, so I guess it's not all doom and gloom. Ubi and Ea please

Thanks for the clarification.

Just by looking at Q1 2016 numbers for COD, it should be clear these numbers don't consider bundles.

I am quite surprised to see the "other Activision titles" doing on Wii U not that lower than on PS4+PS3 combined, alongside Skylanders being strongest on Wii U.
