Curious how Ouya and the Gamestick did.

Goodwill might have numbers for you.

 

[C4Lukins]

4 1080 1 720







WTF

Strangely enough, those are the exact numbers I use when I play the Lotto. Crazy coincidence.

 

[astrogamer]

4 1080 1 720







WTF

Lost

 

[Loudninja]

I think pretty everyone have something they can talk about this month.

 

[Arc]

Will be interesting to see what happens when Sony finally can get the supply to retail.

 

[rjinaz]

We need to go back

Time to rewatch it on Netflix.

Crazy odds to go back-to-back like that over something random haha

 

[John Harker]

The best part of the thread so far are the LOST references

 

[Kandinsky]

Based on what? John Harker's been hanging around, and is always quick to shoot down any unwarranted Wii U enthusiasm. If it was under 460k he probably would have said so by now, even if cryptically.

Just a hunch, dont see it selling above 250k.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

4 8 15 16 23 42

4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108

108 Stars of Destiny

Suikoden 6 confirmed!

 

[Riki]

Just a hunch, dont see it selling above 250k.

And if it does?

 

[Pie and Beans]

I wish the smoke monster would appear already.

 

[John Harker]

Oh for the record this thread is moving way too fast for me, so I'm not really keeping up for now

 

[Frodo]

[Kandinsky]

And if it does?

I open a bottle of wine.

 

[GDGF]

I'm not sure if this NPD thread is drunk or I am drunk.

I'd like to think it's a little bit of both.

Awaiting concreteness.

 

[Aquamarine]

Curious how Ouya and the Gamestick did.

When Sega Saturn's 1997 sales outperforms the console, you know OUYA hasn't been very successful.

 

[JawzPause]

So MS hugely exaggerated their claim of 3 million XB1 sales?

 

[Chezzymann]

Wait how did LOST get into this thread?

 

[Fandangox]

Time to rewatch it on Netflix.

Crazy odds to go back-to-back like that over something random haha

But for real that was one hell of a coincidence there that both of them with the Lost numbers

 

[qq more]

But for real that was one hell of a coincidence there that both of them with the Lost numbers

it honestly surprised me too lol i just did it on a whim

 

[Whipped Spartan]

ITT:

Every time someone breaks down Xbox won Dec NPD but Sony won overall I hear Al gore saying I won the popular vote.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Will be interesting to see what happens when Sony finally can get the supply to retail.

A lot of people already bit the bullet and bought an X1 though.

Down here in Australia everyone I know IRL who was planning on grabbing a PS4 for Xmas missed out and ended up buying X1's since they were already set on getting a new console for themselves/sons/bros/etc.

 

[iamvin22]

Goodwill might have numbers for you.

 

[Loofy]

Poor WiiU. I wonder if they'll just ride it out, or make the same mistake again (mid-gen console release).

Did the numbers come out yet? If its 600k+ then thats gamecube level which is.. fine I guess.

 

[megabytecr]

Oh for the record this thread is moving way too fast for me, so I'm not really keeping up for now

Oh we believe Wii U sold more than 463k as that was its best month. In the NPD release they mentioned Wii U had its best month by sold units. Some are trolling or serious who knows now that this means for 2013.

 

[Finalizer]

I'm not sure if this NPD thread is drunk or I am drunk.

I'd like to think it's a little bit of both.

Awaiting concreteness.

Just passing time until magical number leaks.

 

[oSoLucky]

So MS hugely exaggerated their claim of 3 million XB1 sales?

Unless I missed something in this thread, we don't have numbers from all 13 regions, so not necessarily.

 

[Javier]

463k+ Wii U is honestly okay for me. A lot better than what most people here predicted.

ITT:

More like:

 

[Amir0x]

That would be collusion which is very illegal. Gamestop matters because they were allowed to buy up all of their competition and force their business practices to dominate the video game retail market.

Companies can't ignore that. Just look at the damage Amazon has caused Nintendo by refusing to directly sell the Wii U and 3DS. Having a shitty relationship with retailers will bite you in the ass.

Let me put it another way. How did pretty much all companies decide $59.99 was going to be the average game price last gen? $50 before that? What about greatest hits games at $20 and then $30?

If for example Sony started releasing digital games for $50 instead of $60, they would get more sales. Microsoft and Nintendo would follow suit, inevitably. Do you think Gamestop is really going to take the biggest seller off the front of the store because it charges ten dollars less for digital games? Do you think Microsoft would let Sony have that digital advantage, when Microsoft wanted to go all-digital to begin with?

I mean, maybe they would. But I don't think it would last long. They would give in. Eventually, they will give in. But we'll have to wait and see

[astrogamer]

So according to the data we have:
3DS>1 million>Xbone(908k)>PS4
Wii U> 463k
360(643k)>PS3

 

[pixlexic]

i just keep thinking of last gen.. exact some responses

 

[Riki]

So according to the data we have:
3DS>1 million>Xbone(908k)>PS4
Wii U> 463k
360(643k)>PS3

Vita>0 (?)

 

[Uno Venova]

surprised we haven't been filled with cream yet

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Vita>0 (?)

You assume too much.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

You assume too much.

Lol ouch

 

[boredandlazy]

A lot of people already bit the bullet and bought an X1 though.

Down here in Australia everyone I know IRL who was planning on grabbing a PS4 for Xmas missed out and ended up buying X1's since they were already set on getting a new console for themselves/sons/bros/etc.

I only know one person who bought an XBOne, but his mates in Melbourne also bought them.
But I only have two friends who bought a PS4, and another one is planning to get one after he's done with his PS3. So not big numbers either way.

 

[Riki]

You assume too much.

I'm trying to be optimistic!

 

[Batigol]

Wii U keeps bombing like this I'll be getting it for €50 in no time

 

[theprodigy]

You assume too much.

Wii vs Vita
hey, it was close in November!

 

[Principate]

You assume too much.

Vita> -500,000

 

[RELIGHT]

There is no need to be upset guys!

 

[allan-bh]

creamsugar is taking longer than usual.

 

[Tripon]

creamsugar is taking longer than usual.

NPD finally was able to plug that leak?

 

[Principate]

There is no need to be upset guys!

Shhh no numbers only dreams now.

 

[jkanownik]

Overall:

Overall retail sales are down 2% year over year for the full year.

Overall retail sales are up 2% year over year for December.

Hardware sales are up 5% year over year for December.

Software sales are down 9% year over year for December.

The OP needs to be updated. The last point there should say full year instead of December. Here is the relevant quote from Game Industry:

As for the industry as a whole, the NPD reported... while software sales slipped 9 percent to $6.12 billion...

Looking at the numbers from just December... software sales that dropped 17 percent to $1.28 billion.

 

[Aquamarine]

Vita> -500,000

Vita > 180

Haha.

 

[Griss]

creamsugar is taking longer than usual.

It's almost 2am and I have to get up early. I'm resigned to sleeping through the fireworks
Personally, I'm just glad the guy exists. Not having numbers makes the debate super-shitty.

 

[pixlexic]

well they probably wasted a whole month making banderas gifs for this thread...
