NPD Sales Results for June 2013 [Up2: 360/3DS Hardware, AC/LM/DK Digital + Retail]

I will say that TLOU is even more impressive when I haven't seen it in stock anywhere for a long time in Canada. It's flat SOLD OUT or unavailable.

Forced my hand to go digital.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

Well thats been pretty bang on. Wow at TLoU, and I guess some Best Buy excitement did result in a really mild WiiU bump after all? PS3 needs price drop. Got to assume... thats at Gamescom or something.

I don't know what city you're in but I've seen it in stock in a lot of places in Calgary.

What how does 381k for ACNL make sense when it doesn't line up with the official number...? What am I missing here

Its a 5 week month so wouldnt it be stable if not a very slight increase?

Yes it does 500k is digital added
 

Cheers, the Vita is still $249 right ?.

Sony and Nintendo need to realise that neither of them will sell to any great degree unless Vita is $199 and WiiU is $249.

Until they both hit that point it's unfair to judge them imo as they are just overpriced for different reasons.

Ps3 obviously needs a price cut.

Insane numbers if the 900k number is true for a new IP on ps3 this late into the generation. TLOU 2 PS4 confirmed

Eh, guess that makes sense, nintendo said 20%+ of AC was sold on the eShop which would put it at 400k retail
 
That's good for The Last of Us.

PS3 number is bad. Needs a price cut. As does 360.

Wii U is in line with expectation.

I still don't know why they didn't launch the 12gb model in US. Cheap barebones model would be perfect for customers buying it to play just one big game like The Last of Us. Maybe they will this fall with little bigger storage than the original EU model (12gb). $169 for 32gb model and $199 for HDD model.... DO it.
 
If TLoU did around 775k how on earth did it get 3.4 million worldwide? Sounds like Sony is being disingenuous and giving shipped numbers instead of sold just like they did with UC3.
Yea, they have a history of that. Shipped not sold (so it's already disingenuous) + includes digital. It was important to give that 3.4 million PR before (the assumed) NPD numbers came out. It only makes sense.
 
I remember DKCR being at least 5million at point, but it seems like Galaxy 2 was like 6m at that time. The original DKC on the SNES was 9 mil though, so given the right time and place it's proven it can sell. I'm expecting NSMBU numbers, although that could change if console sales improve.

Yeah, the environment will be a bit different this holiday. I think 3D World and DKC could actually help sell each other going into next year since I think both games will help create a bigger base for platformers that NEW Copy and Paste U has already started. The question is in regards to the two games quality and marketing.

Futhermore, there is platformers like Rayman Legends and a new exclusive Sonic coming. Curious how Ray will perform on Wii U vs the other platforms.

Then there is Mario vs Sonic at the Olympics, Wii Party U, and Wii Fit U. All these games might have some audience overlap.

None of these will have the sales power they had on Wii by themselves of course.

And then there are wildcards like potential price cuts, new skus, and competitor actions.

I think Nintendo needs to lower the barrier of entry before November. I:m on the extreme end and believe GamePad needs to go, but they:ll probably just do bundles or take the financial hit and cut $50 off the deluxe.

"Wario wares thin" is the headline, gamo journo types.

TLoU essentially a million then with whatever digital.
