NPD Sales Results for May 2014 [Up1: Wii U Hardware]

Not that I expect bundles to have a massive effect given the tracking period but the bundle sales percentage for MK8 is really low :\ The game itself sold great, but that was to existing customers for the first couple of days, anyway.

Watch Dogs did great and PS4 and X1 seem to be in very different places atm, wow. X1 really cratered.

So with MS's non statement and the weak WIIU numbers i guess it's obvious that the 95% jump in hardware sales can be attributed almost exclusively to PS4?

Huh, 1.25m * 0.29 is just 362.5k units so Watch Dogs on XbO and MK8 were very close indeed. MK8 sans bundle was ~345-355k
 
Breakdown:

~575k
~362.5k
~175k
~137.5k



Yep. It's amazing how software sales have turned in Sony's favor. Getting some of the biggest "next-gen (focused)" games' marketing is only going to reinforce the trend.

Watch_Dogs Xbox One needs to be above 370K because of MK8 estimates (370-380K).

Too low, We already know that X1 SKU is the #2 overall SKU which beat out MK8 370K - 380K

Not terribly surprised by Mario Kart 8 doing well. It was the first AAA release on the Wii U in months, it was an anticipated title, and it was essentially buy 1 get 1 free with the Nintendo promotion giving you a free game with the purchase.

Glad to see last-gen dying off very quickly.

Developers + publishers need to switch over to current-gen exclusive ASAP.

the industry would do well to have a lower-priced alternative. legacy platforms should serve that function, but now they're being supplanted by other devices. that's not a good thing.

I'm impressed the xbone version of Wolf did that well. It's not a multiplayer game so it's not like community matters.
