Forums - Sales - August 2016 NPD Thread! Hardware and software estimates up!

poklane on 15 September 2016

If my numbers are correct (simply steal them from these threads) this was the worst month for PS4 this gen besides May 2015 (152k).

Only 120,000 copies of Deus Ex sold :(

That can't be good, anyone know how much Human Revolution sold?

244k apparently, that's what people are saying on NeoGAF

So with all the preorders of One S on top of the heavily discounted Xbox One bundles we come up with a figure well below most expectations for August. Are we looking at yet another discount for these units to continue throughout the holidays beyond Black Friday? As of now, they're dropping below the current PS4 units on retailer charts.

PS4 needs resuscitation. Will slim be able to do it? Or is it fighting against the Pro earlier than expected? September is going to be interesting. I see MS doing some bonuses with their bundles late in the month per usual.

It'll be interesting to see the PS4 slim sales, they will probably bumb up the sales for Sony.

How do we know this is the real Aqua and not some troll? I find it odd she would just disappear without telling us on VGChartz that she is switching to Twitter.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

That was a good month for the XB1! Congrats! PS4 was meh. Wii U was sad well can't wait to see what the systems do this month!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Good numbers for Xone. People are definitely holding out on the PS4. WiiU is nonexistent, but that's not surprising.

Do we have 2016 total sales until now for Xbox One and PS4? Xbox One S gave the boost i was expecting to Xbox Brand.

Cant believe this hasnt been posted. Xbox one sales: https://mobile.twitter.com/AstronautClaire/status/776303077968207872

 

And this (ps4): https://mobile.twitter.com/AstronautClaire/status/776303548099420160

 

Wii U... https://mobile.twitter.com/AstronautClaire/status/776306588802056192

 

XB1 won by over 100k this month. XB1 was up 37%, PS4 was down 23%, and the Wii U was down 46%



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
