Good for MK8.

Surprised Kirby cracked the top 10!

 

[N.Domixis]

And just like that, the XBOX 360 passes the third party crown to PS4. ...

So PS4 #1

Standard. But what we're really looking for is WiiU vs Xbone duel for the new-gen wooden spoon.

 

[Chobel]

We knew PS4 will be number 1, the question is who is number 2?

 

[SDCowboy]

Looks like Watch Dogs and MK8 did wonders for console sales. Who knew games could sell consoles?

‏@iansherr
I misread--Wii U sales are up 90% so far in 2014, compared to 2013. That's US, of course. #NPD

Can we get any hardware estimates from this?

http://venturebeat.com/2014/06/16/may-2014-npd-ps4-xbox-one-watch-dogs-and-mario-kart-8-fuel-industry-wide-surge/

"Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the two new-gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony, respectively, are also continuing to sell very well."

I'm guessing not much of a drop off from April for both consoles then?

Wow!

That's great for only a few days of MK.

Also, the 3DS was the No. 2 best-selling hardware system in the US in may, Nintendo says.

‏@iansherr
Wii U hardware sales were up more than 85% in May specifically, with only two days of Mario Kart being on the market for the survey. #NPD

So MOM increase?

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Not particularly to be honest. Never really understood the excitement about which console sales more. I wish I wasn't so apathetic. T_T

Well, I have a problem with schadenfreude-ing...

 

[phanphare]

OH SHIT

damnnnnnnn

OH SHIT

The 3ds outsold the Bone? Really?

What about Vita?!?!?! =(

So Wii U ~89k?

PS4 -> 3DS -> ???

Mmmmm, that's some delicious schadenfreude. Thank you.

If WiiU ends up edging out Xbone, we officially japan now.

 

[Darksol]

Oh snap.

 

[Foshy]

If WiiU ends up edging out Xbone, we officially japan now.

In Japan, Vita is outselling PS4. No comparison to there lol

 

[Kayant]

My numbers am cry

 

[Boke1879]

I expected Xbone sales to be bad, but not THIS bad. If 3DS and WIIU outsold it then they have a problem. June they will see a boost but I still see the PS4 edging it out in Sales.

If they don't win June. PS4 will be the top selling console for the rest of the year. Destiny in September along with the white PS4 Bundle will solidify the PS4 and top selling next gen console for the year.

Joking about country of origin than actual hardware/software sales comparisons.

I mean, is it really surprising when a $100 cheaper model was on the horizon for a good chunk of the month? Not to mention that MK8 was a major software release that's actually manged to drive up hardware sales, where Xbone had no such equivalent for the month. I really can't see May hardware sales being all that representative of the health of Xbone in the states.

Oh I see. Carry on, then

 

[Nilaul]

Well if thats the case:

WiiU did't edge out Xbone, Luigi in Mario kart scared the xbone away.

If MS lose June, this generation's console war will be over. Sony will have another PS1/PS2 generation. At that point both Nintendo and Sony will have won 3 generations each.

 

[whyreggielie]

Yeah but I reckon PS4 Watch_dogs > MK8. Will need Cream Sugar for that though.

But wouldn't it be 1 week vs 2 days?

 

[RedAssedApe]

xbone being bad was a given due to people sitting on fences waiting on price/kinect drop. real test will be to see june npd. good to hear that it was a healthy month overall

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

3 generations each. Did not even crossed my mind.

If the Xbone doesnt see a significant increase in sales with the price drop, what will be next in the to do list? Halo collection?

 

[Nilaul]

Actually I think theres a bigger chance of WiiU outselling Xbone in June due to Mario Kart (2 days of sales, rest will be counted as June)

 

[RedAssedApe]

seem to be pushing hard for sunset overdrive as well. but we'll see how much it matters that xbone has the better exclusive lineup this fall

[WIU] 110K

What makes June the magic month?

 

[DieH@rd]

What makes June the magic month?

Arrival of $399 kinectless SKU for which they had 3 weeks of preorders.

 

[Tripon]

Wut at MLB?

The PS4 effect?

PS4 version released in May.

 

[lazybones18]

101k

Seriously, so screwed.

 

[Chobel]

[WIU] 88k

Damn it! 28K off.

 

[Welfare]

[PS4] 264K
[XB1] 75K
[3DS] 92K
[360] 57K
[WIU] 101K
[PS3] 34K

Damn it Wii U! I had hope!!

 

[prag16]

[PS4] 220k
[WIU] 105k
[3DS] 90k
[XB1] 80k
[360] 65K
[PS3] 35k

Well. There goes this month. Unless I'm completely bang on with everything else. Which I doubt.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I think XB1 is in 4th place: PS4>3DS>Wiiu>XB1

 

[Bgamer90]

If they don't win June. PS4 will be the top selling console for the rest of the year. Destiny in September along with the white PS4 Bundle will solidify the PS4 and top selling next gen console for the year.

Do people really expect a sales rank change in 2014 due to the new Xbox One SKU?

The new SKU will help Xbox One sales but it's definitely not going to push the system over the PS4 any time soon... especially not this year.

So donny doesn't need to hunt for it later.

60.1 as base, angles add to 360 degrees. Sum of Xbox + Wii U < PS4. Vita 56K.

Other than Wii U and ordering, did okay this month I guess.

Not to be rude but woudn't it be easier in this format?

PS4 ~ 194k
3DS ~ 87k
XB1 ~ 76k
Wii U ~ 60k
360 ~ 57k
PSV ~ 56k
PS3 ~ 36k

I couldn't be bothered reformatting it, lol. But yes it is more useful like that.

 

[Aquamarine]

Never mind.
