2) US numbers from NPD and Japan, Media Create.

Hero · Jan 31, 2013

Disappointing.

djplaeskool · Jan 31, 2013

lol @ Japan's 360 sliver

pieatorium · Jan 31, 2013

EU WiiU bomba as expected

Meier · Jan 31, 2013

Nintendo had a nice piece of the pie in every region.

Carl · Jan 31, 2013

Well that's not a great number

bigtroyjon · Jan 31, 2013

360 and PS3 essentially equal overall. Would need pixel counter to confirm exact difference.

sd28821 · Jan 31, 2013

NBtoaster · Jan 31, 2013

PSP still doing alright in Europe for some reason. Vita has the same slice everywhere..

metalslimer · Jan 31, 2013

Not even half of what was shipped. They probably won't be able to get much more to Europe.

bigtroyjon · Jan 31, 2013

Man, Vita looks to have the same % in every region. Kind of weird.

My eyes are telling me the PS3 edges it a little bit, but yeah they look pretty damn close.

Dragon · Jan 31, 2013

How does this compare with previous consoles as far as Europe. It seems low at first glance...

Striek · Jan 31, 2013

Everything down, two new systems did horribly in their first holidays. Not great :/

user_nat · Jan 31, 2013

That confirms that the PS3 is not up YoY in Europe (but way more steady than the 360). Meaning that the shipments couldn't possibly up like IDC guesstimated.

Really surprised the PS3 didn't get a bigger spike from the new models.

Doesn't look like the PS3 is more steady than the 360 to me. Did better in the latter weeks but the 360 was better earlier on in the quarter.

LayLa · Jan 31, 2013

Vita outsold by PSP in EU in every week of 2012
that WiiU sliver in the EU share is pretty pathetic

Sandfox · Jan 31, 2013

I'm curious as to what Nintendo is going to try in Europe specifically in order to increase sales.

True, but those latter weeks look to be over 50k a week down, whereas the earlier ones appear to be much less.
Might be close though.

50% overall in all regions, pretty nice. How does that compare to past years? Either way "Nintendo is doomed" is ridiculous when you see a chart like that.

maquiladora · Jan 31, 2013

Ooooouch.

CrunchinJelly · Jan 31, 2013

I just don't believe those PSP numbers. Where is it selling? Mainland EU people, is the PSP still on sale over there?

Here in the UK PSP has been dead for about three years if not more.

Tenki · Jan 31, 2013

They should try releasing games.

pieatorium · Jan 31, 2013

So with ~950(?)k US, 630k JP and 430k EU that would be about 2000k ww up to end of Dec

Which means with there 3 million shipped numbers for the financial report about a million sitting on shelves coming into the new year. With the current sales and bleak lineup I think they might even miss their revised forecast for the WiiU

There was an article last year or maybe the year before about how popular it was in eastern europe because of the ease of piracy. Probably no chance of me remembering where that was from now though.

Can someone tell me why there have been like 7 WiiU sales thread today alone? And "This is Neogaf" can not be an answer.

Wow that is terrible.

I thought the 3 million number is sold?

Because Nintendo just officially reported how poorly the Wii U is performing.

Makes too much sense.

I am almost sure unless there is any major release, which apparently there isn't, they will miss it.

Sho_Nuff82 · Jan 31, 2013

Wii U sales went down every week during the holidays, damn.

I'm aware, but wouldn't one thread be enough? Just saying.

Got to add the rest of the world in. Canada probably ~100K, don't really know about other places.

Yes they've shipped more than they have sold but people need to remember they have to stock shore shelves and fill the distribution channels. I don't think overshipment was that bad. Next quarter probably will have shipments be the same as sales.

Definitely will miss that revised forecast though, cause I'd be surprised if sales were more than 600-700K based on current trends.

NVM, Road is good, Road is wise....

The Lego game is coming out before the end of the quarter. Given enough marketing, it will move units.

No. There was a sticky for like a month dealing with this. Scroll past the threads if you must.

3 million number was shipped worldwide. As is always the case with financial reports

Road, those pixel counts only start at week 35.

Pretty sure he is adding them to the previous quarters charts.

Can't find the previous threads ATM.

Complaining about why a thread exists can get you banned. Be careful.

Depends on shipment schedules. Shipments could be up even if sales are down, if reserves were depleted the previous quarter (which could have been true, since Sony apparently held off on shipping new PS3s until the newer Slim model was ready)

Also, its important to note that there's a lot of countries missing from Nintendo's data. So, while it's probably 70% complete, there are plenty of other regions that aren't accounted for.

Might have been the smallest tiny bump into week 51, but yup

Psychotext · Jan 31, 2013

Edit - This bit wrong! 360 down quite a bit vs 2011.

PS3 still very strong in Europe. Easy winner.

Wii U in serious trouble.

Carl · Jan 31, 2013

Psychotext said:
360 seemed to have a much better end of 2012 in Europe than 2011. I guess those good bundles must have paid off.

Hm? Isn't 360 down quite a lot from 2011 at the end of the year?

Unless i'm looking at the wrong line, which is very possible..

Psychotext · Jan 31, 2013

No, I was the one looking at the wrong line. D'oh!

iceatcs · Jan 31, 2013

Code:

EU Hardware Sales (Estimate)

         2011    2012

360       3.7     3.0    (down 19%)
PS3       4.9     4.3    (down 12%)
WII       4.0     2.0    (down 50%)
WIU       0       0.4

Haha! That's alright then... I was seriously getting confused about it for a second

pieatorium · Jan 31, 2013

PSV 1,164,000

we had estimate of 1.25 mill vitas for 2012 in the last npd iirc so add the ~1.2 mill ltd for japan and the ww would be around 3.5-3.6million
