wario ~ 12k
mc > 350k
Ellen Page ~ 985K (2 editions)

Can you comment on Vita, Creamsugar?

And how accurate that ~42K for Wii U is?

 

[guek]

We all know warioware sold like 100k on the eShop though...

;_;

Spoiler

I sure as hell didn't buy it!

 

[BlackJace]

wario ~ 12k

And no one was surprised.

 

[marc^o^]

wario ~ 12k

Bad choice not to offer this demo games for such sales confirmed.

 

[prwxv3]

Dat word of mouth for TLOU

 

[Y2Kev]

Sony needs to let Naughty Dog do WHATEVER they want to do. Just give them $50MM and back the hell away.

Start a third team. Start a fourth team. Huge royalties.

Just don't ever start drama.

 

[Striek]

TLoU definitely a million seller inc. retail. Biggest new IP since LA Noire and biggest title of 2013 so far..

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.

Its not disingenuous when they tell you what they mean and its industry standard (because shipped is sold to a company).

 

[sense]

wario ~ 12k
mc > 350k
Ellen Page ~ 985K (2 editions)

holy crap more than bioshock as well which was on multiple platforms as well. with digital well over a million and still selling out at retail. WOW Naughty Gods indeed

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Those Nintendo Directs are really doing a lot for the Wii U!

 

[Bruno MB]

Xbox 360 - 140,000 (-45.5%)
PS3 - 108,000 (-44.6%)

Terrible month for HD twins, I don't want to check my NPD prediction

 

[Kenshin001]

1. There is no data suggesting TLOU did 775k
2. 3.4m figure includes digital sales
3. Everybody reports shipped

Well seems it did 948k. Pretty good, but still a 2.45 million shortfall. If it's shipped that figure wouldn't include digital sales.

Wario bomba (comes to a full circle lol) though really, not shock here.
MC is great
Already has been said a lot, but TLOU did amazing.

Game & Wario is like, the absolute least appealing game ever. It was so bound to tank hard.

 

[Canis lupus]

Damn, sad for Bomba&Wario, surprising Minecraft and amazed by TLOU _O_

 

[dmr87]

Minecraft did more than 350k retail?!

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Road]

When did the tracking period end? Wario came out June 23rd.

It's the 2nd line of the opening post.

Games on shelves do more for systems than announcements.

Copying from NPD prediction thread.

With no change at all from May, this is what you'd see, adjusting for 5 week month from 4 week month:

3DS - 144K
360 - 143K
PS3 - 106K
WIU - 41K
PSV - 20K

The 3DS should see a bump from Animal Crossing. The 360 got a revised system, and that should give a modest bump. And the PS3 probably saw a little bump from TLoU. All my opinion, of course, but these should be baselines.

That was written a while back, but it gives you an idea of how things were from May to June.

3DS - up 56%
360 - down 2%
PS3 - up 2%
WIU - up 2%
PSV - ???

No kidding. As long as all of the success doesn't effect the way they make games, (which it clearly hasn't so far) Naughty Dog will remain a fucking tour de force for Sony. What they will come up with for next gen makes me all giddy inside.

 

[sense]

Well seems it did 948k. Pretty good, but still a 2.45 million shortfall. If it's shipped that figure wouldn't include digital sales.

dude this is US numbers . that 3.4 is worldwide with digital. there is europe which is a bigger market for sony.

 

[Usobuko]

Minecraft did more than 350k retail?!

HOLY SHIT.

No console BC rejoice for Notch. His game is probably the one that benefits that the most next generation since it keeps selling.

 

[Striek]

Wow. I'd explain but its been done and I fear theres little point here.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Ellen Page ~ 985K (2 editions)

does NPD includes digital sales?

 

[shinra-bansho]

When did the tracking period end? Wario came out June 23rd.

Not that I'm excusing those poor numbers though.

Was there a heatwave, though. That's the important thing.

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.

I think others have pointed out they don't think a 12GB would fly in the US; but a 32GB would. Perhaps they're waiting for costs to reduce enough for a profitable 32GB in the US.

Game & Wario is like, the absolute least appealing game ever. It was so bound to tank hard.

It is great multiplayer fun. Have put in close to 50hrs with it so far since I have family/friends over on the weekends.

 

[Metallix87]

Game & Wario is like, the absolute least appealing game ever. It was so bound to tank hard.

Indeed. I wish they had taken the time to make a proper WarioWare title instead. At least that might've had some potential for sales.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ACNL is strong

 

[metalslimer]

Holy crap wario was a waste of everyones time. The biggest nintendo bomba since sin and punishment 2

 

[Miles X]

You have to be kidding ....

It is shipped + digital.

 

[Canis lupus]

Correction: 985k

The 3.4m figure include both shipped and digital sold through sales, whats so hard to understand?

The funny thing is that the actual Warioware game in the collection is great.

 

[donny2112]

So we got,

1. 3DS - 225K
2. 360 - 140K
3. PS3 - 108K
4. Wii - 52K
5. Wii U - 42K
6. Vita - ? (probably ~20K based on the flatness of June to May from jvm's post)

Just need the Vita number (or small range) for predictions, then.

 

[Busaiku]

Dang, I was expecting digital to be a much greater share of Animal Crossing New Leaf's sales.
Good to see my expectations unfulfilled.

 

[Metallix87]

Holy crap wario was a waste of everyones time. The biggest nintendo bomba since sin and punishment 2

Probably a much bigger bomba, honestly. Nintendo knew Sin & Punishment 2 was going to be super-niche. This was a Wario game.

 

[Satchel]

The wait for an AU price drop on TLoU is getting hard.

 

[jj984jj]

This has to be the biggest debut for a new IP from Sony, right?

 

[MercuryLS]

Xbox 360 - 140,000 (-45.5%)
PS3 - 108,000 (-44.6%)

Terrible month for HD twins, I don't want to check my NPD prediction

Price drops needed. Why they hell would anyone spend $250-$300 on a PS3 or $200-$300 on a Xbox 360 when PS4 launches soon at $400? One of my friends really wanted to pick up a PS3 for TLoU but the price was too high to justify it with PS4 coming so soon. If the console was sub $200 he might have bit.

 

[DaBoss]

Was there a heatwave, though. That's the important thing.

No, but there was an insane cold snap for 3 seconds in June, it caused thousands of people to stay in their homes for days.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow, AC:NL did 120k+ digitally, very impressive.

 

[Pie and Beans]

So we got,

1. 3DS - 225K
2. 360 - 140K
3. PS3 - 108K
4. Wii - 52K
5. Wii U - 42K
6. Vita - ? (probably ~20K based on the flatness of June to May from jvm's post)

Just need the Vita number (or small range) for predictions, then.

what we NEED are Ouya numbers!

 

[donny2112]

Wow, AC:NL did 120k+ digitally, very impressive.

Some of that is the system bundle. Apparently ~20-25K of the 120K.

 

[RoKKeR]

Yep, exact same situation with a friend of mine as well. Even used he just couldn't get past the entry price, and said "wouldn't you rather have me put this $300 towards a PS4?"

 

[GulAtiCa]

So I guess we now need Ouya numbers again.

 

[ascii42]

Correction: 985k

The 3.4m figure include both shipped and digital sold through sales, whats so hard to understand?

More importantly, it includes countries that aren't America.

 

[Bruno MB]

creamsugar, we need our dose of Capcom bombas

Could you tell us how much that game that no one remembers did?

 

[B.O.O.M]

That's a truly amazing number for TLOU....bravo. A new IP, Survival Action, Really late into the gen = bravo ND

 

[CadetMahoney]

Some of that is the system bundle. Apparently ~20-25K of the 120K.

So NPD now counts digital and bundles? I can't recall if they never used to count bundles but counting digital sales puts a new light on things for the future too.
