According to NPD, $375.8 million physical SW was sold in USA+Oct 2016 and $129.9 million digital SW was sold. Digital console SW rate: 25.7%
According to NPD, $337.7 million physical SW was sold in USA+Oct 2015 and $47.1 million digital SW was sold. Last year's digital rate: 12.2%
Every Nintendo title combined comprised a mere 5% of sales at NPD USA Retail in Oct 2016, and we're almost at the holidays. Down -43% YOY.
Battlefield 1 alone sold more than 4 TIMES as much revenue as every Nintendo title combined
Out of $376 mil SW at Oct 2016 NPD USA Retail, PS4 SW sold $171 mil (45%), Xbox One SW sold $156 mil (42%), and Wii U SW sold $13 mil (3%)
At Oct 2016 NPD USA Retail, PS4 software is up +58% YOY, Xbox One software is up +22%, and Wii U software is -52%. All software is up +11%
Looking at SW unit sales incl. bundle SW: PlayStation was up +40.1% YOY, Xbox was up +6.6%, and Wii was -40.8% at Oct 2016 NPD USA retail.
Accessories decline from $160.2 mil to $121.0 mil (-24% YOY) at Oct 2016 NPD USA Retail imply that PS VR had a small initial retail shipment

Why PS4 software rose more ? i believe Halo released in last Oct that could be one reason XBOX one is seeing less increase as GOW cant match Halo numbers..

so we dont have PS4 hardware numbers yet?

Why didn't Gears get digital counted like the other games?

Oh well, I expected an XB1 win with the Gears console release. Keep on pushing those games out MS.

Some publishers simply don't hand over digital data for some reason. I might be missing a few but I believe that Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Bethesda all don't give digital data to the NPD Group. uPlay is also excluded I believe.

Anyone else thinking the gap is going to be 100k with knowing that Uncharted PS4 slim was the best selling sku at 17% of the total hardware sales since there really wasn't that much else around to sell making the Uncharted 4 over 50% of all PS4 sales in October.

Xbox - 327k
Nintendo 180k -Wii U down but 3DS up keeping Nintendo combined sales fairly flat to 180k
PS4 - 218k roughly 50k down YoY

Giving Xbox roughly 45% share PS4 30% and Nintendo 25%.

Some actual numbers:

So at Oct 2016 NPD USA Retail Software, Battlefield 1 sold 1292K in total. That's 647K on Xbox One and 644K on PS4 INCLUDING Xbox bundles.

For the 4th month in a row, Xbox One (329K) beat the PS4 (235K) at October 2016 USA NPD Retail Hardware sales with a massive 94K difference!
