NPD Sales Results for November 2013 [Up3: Zelda, Pokemon, Mario, 3DS, Wii U]

God damn it Nintendo gives us 3D World, LBW, and other sales. Greedy fucks =(
It's the memory card. Sony royally fucked up with that shit, if it had a $20 memory card the shit would fly off the shelves and be reaching 3DS numbers easily.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Do we know that just because MS said so? They also say they are the fastest selling by volume for November.

It's because MS says so. Yes, they are trying to deceive you, but you can get actual data if you realize how they're doing it. They're using the # of days available in November to try to make their numbers look better. If you extrapolate what Sony would have had to sell in order to beat it, you can get an upper limit.

That being said, someone else in the thread used 16 days, so my numbers may be off by a bit.

Considering the fact that MS used to dominate US, for Sony to be able to defeat them after MS did the 180 and throwing moneyhats here and there tells me that they fucked up quite royally.

Considering the PS4 came out a week earlier it would have been terrible if the XBONE wasn't outsold.

What was the GAF average of predictions for Wii U? "Didn't sell well yet over predictions" makes me think 300k ballpark at best.

SCEA has kind of ignored Vita this entire year. They didn't do any TV ads, and their Black Friday deal was just $20 off. It's pretty clear that they checked out once they say December 2012's figures.

Pretty much. I don't know why anyone would expect Vita's numbers to be anything but absolutely terrible.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
...why wouldn't it be?

I think what's particularly telling is no Nintendo PR. No good news to report.

Well it's odd that the mention of the 2DS is absent or the term ''3DS family'' is not employed in the report; nonetheless, you are quite right, no Nintendo PR is quite frightening as of now.

Fuck. That's beyond terrible.

Sony needs to get on this. Lower the price or have some value adds in the shape of a 16gb and 3 month plus sub in the box...

Sony needs to get out of the handheld business. Period.

PSP didn't set the world on fire. Vita is doing terribly. (Ouya levels)

Sony gave it a shot and failed. Get out. Focus on mobile.

Eh, not really. If what we hear is correct, the XB1 is selling more units daily than the PS4. The PS4 outsold the XB1 only because it launched a week earlier. With all the reports of PS4 shortages in the US and MS restocking suppliers, I think its very safe to assume that MS is going to beat out Sony in December.

See ya next month.

I thought Vita sales might get a little bump from the PS4 sales but nope. I'm sure Tearaway did great too /s.

You bought a new shiny kick ass next gen system for $399. Why the hell would people shell out another $250 for handheld that they have zero interest in with last gen graphics? People who expect the PS4 to boost Vita sales are setting themselves up for a huge disappointment. Hell, I even think the PS4 will do the exact opposite. Vita sales will now decline even more because of all the PS4 hype.

RIP

Ironically, and although the two events are of course unrelated, Yamauchi's death is bringing with itself all old Nintendo's IPs with it.

Incredible, yeah. And era seems to be about to end.

No point in putting more money into a sinking ship.

You need to learn about averages and PR spin.

Thanks to the good people on GAF I atleast learned where Nelson got his fastest averaging consoles sold quote from. It is bizarre. Really dislike the public dishonesty in their mincing off words used by MS. It further separates my desire to own their console.

So, basically the Vita is completely fucked.
I wonder if it will even hit 15 million world wide by the end of its life.

I'm starting to feel 300k would be too optimistic for Wii U...

I'm ballparking between 195K-205K I feel. Mostly due to everyone's negativity, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
 
What was the GAF average of predictions for Wii U? "Didn't sell well yet over predictions" makes me think 300k ballpark at best.

300k would at least be a 500% increase over October, and at least worth spinning. we have nothing but COMPLETE silence from ninty, and that is BAD.

also, 300k is nearly 45% of the 3DS+2DS number, which is sort of unbelievable given the ratio between the two all year.

So what, are we just not getting any Nintendo PR this month? None at all? Not even a statement?

I'm starting to think this is true:

Nintendo employees have already gotten their memos detailing Plan Upsilon: if any journalists or investors ask about the Wii U, just look at them with a confused expression and ask what a "Wii U" is. When they continue to press the issue, tell them that they've gotten a dream or hallucination confused with reality, as Nintendo has never released any such console.

If all else fails, show them newspaper clippings and online articles of the highly successful "Wii 2" sales from 2010; other articles listed the on fake sites and papers will convince them that they've entered an alternate timeline via a vortex or are the only person to retain their memories of the old timeline after a time traveler stomped on a butterfly.

Come on Nintendo, 3DS did Okey, you can at least say that and encourage buyers to try SM3DWorld!
 
Next gen is here. Incredible launch for the PS4 and Xbox One. PS4 top selling system, but anybody have the exact number yet? 909,132 for the Xbox One in just 8 days on the market is pretty awesome for a $500 system. And if I'm not mistaken, they did a worldwide launch on the 22nd. I can see why they said the system sold through 1 million units in 24 hours now, because NA pretty much covered the lion's shares of the sold units.

Where are people seeing the software sales? Either way, this is an incredibly strong start for both systems. Congrats to both Sony and MS! I knew something went wrong when GAF wouldn't load for like 5 minutes lol.
