How much of that 1.5m is in NA? Also, are NPD numbers shipped numbers or sold through to consumers?
Sold through.

P5 is a 2016 game that got localized in 2017... I forget it launched in US last month... it was my confusion.Uhhhhh.... what?

My estimates for Switch shipment for April.Demand is good but April is just April, not a very exciting month for gaming or for buying a system exactly now. The Switch on the other hand still is very hot on the market and selling out left and right. The best bet would be for the Switch Numbers in April: Everything Nintendo can ship and that should be more than ~200k the PS4 will likely sell again.
I corrected, the 1.5m might include JP.How much of that 1.5m is in NA? Also, are NPD numbers shipped numbers or sold through to consumers?
My estimates for Switch shipment for April.
JP: 200k
US: 250k
EU: 150k
RotW: 50-100k
I predicted 300k for Switch but even removing 50k from EU and RotW it can reach max 350k shipped for US in my estimates.
Nintendo planned to shop 600-700k per month outside holidays if you look at the 10m for FY2017.
For a FY reach 10m you need that... PS4 for example ships 900-1000k in these months to reach 18-20m for FY.Isn't that a bit low though? The 200k for Japan is pretty much a given, looking at the weekly sales but only 250K for the US and 150k for Europe? Wouldn't Nintendo be able to produce about a Million Units per month now that they increased production?
It is a comincidence... clients already has the physical data on hands but surprising this month they did not release any PR.
I can repeat if you wish.
Nintendo has terrible digital share tho.
I corrected, the 1.5m might include JP.
By week 43 in 2016 P5 wasn't high enough in Mediacreate to report sales anymore, and it was before that near 360k sales.
No more info outside Software being up 9%???
finally these NPD threads have become more structured and compact, thanks to a lot of efford on restructuring content and participation.
I now can get all relevant information in a few clicks without scrolling through pages of irrelevant data dump and hyperventilation. that's highly efficient and should also please the industry members who always get good inspiration and analysis from video game enthusiasts here.
I agree. The actual situation is really sadfinally these NPD threads have become more structured and compact, thanks to a lot of efford on restructuring content and participation.

Is there any plan to delay the May NPD digital+physical (and physical?) data release to avoid conflicts with E3 coverage the week of June 12?
Did Mat not say the info is out next week?
Well you only get revenue numbers for the months separeted by hardware, software and accessory... plus the TOP10 by revenue like every second Thursday.Thanks again Mat, next thursday then for all the info.

The hardware places (who sold more) that happens on the first Thursday didn't happen because any company wish to write a PR this month.
So you won't anything close to all info.
It's a top 20, actually.
Just realized something...
Is April (apparently) the first month since its release where no XB1 sku whatsoever appear on the Amazon monthly top 100?
In March they had it seems the #91 and #100 spots.
In the yearly atm 1 sku at #72.
Well Sony doesn't do pr. They tweet they won sometimes but have stopped since their streak was broken by Xbox one s I believe, Nintendo has talked about switch hardware and software sales in recent times so that just leaves ms who usually send out pr spin but they probably did terrible as expected with Scorpio coming out later this year.Still no PR from anyone.
Hardware must have been real bad I'd have to imagine.
Obviously, bit of a weird spot for Xbox. By announcing Scorpio and talking so highly of it, consumers are effectively being told to wait to hear more before making a purchase decision. Everyone knows this will have an impact on the existing product in the market. The only way it makes sense to do this imo is if one is so confident in what Scorpio will be and offer that facing headwinds in the early part of the year would be worth it and made up for in holiday. We'll have to wait and see if this is the case or not, but to succeed there must be big surprises around E3 on games, price and services. Microsoft is a smart organization full of people that understand the business. I have to believe that they've a plan they believe can win. I'm looking forward to seeing it as much as anyone.

I'm still betting both PS4 and Xbox are down YoY. And I wonder if Switch had a pretty huge drop off from stock issues.
I guess there's not a whole lot of positive vibes on the hardware front to put out there
I would assume there won't be a Nintendo PR for hardware because the low shipments for April would make the numbers seem unimpressive.
So we're coming off a March where HW, SW and ACC were all up, where we had one of the best HW launches in recent memory, and because there's no PR this thread is doom and gloom. Amazing.

Less than 200k is a bit extreme but using the forecast Nintendo didn't shipped more than 350k to US... to be fair 350k is a bit extreme too... more like 200-300k shipped in April to US.It's also true that they've recently released a triumphant PR about MK8D's debut, so maybe they felt that could've been enough for the time being.
Still, I'd be shocked if Switch sold less than 200,000 in April (reference: that's how many consoles were shipped in Japan).

I'm probably one of the last people you can assume being uneducated or doom and gloom about the industry in this forum. So no need to he condescending.
Ah my apologies if I read wrong into your post. My bad there.
I wasn't being condescending. And I know you're from industry.
We won't see in two daysYour forecast is based on 2 million in Q2 of this year, and therefore 2M/3 = 667k a month, right? I personally feel they could potentially have done a bit more for this month compared to what they will do for May and June due to MK8D (even assuming that 2 million for Q2 is correct), so I don't think 350k is extreme per se. We'll probably see in two days either way.

I've just been wondering if hardware was down for the month in general between Xbox and PS4 for most of the month. I didn't see much reason for either to be up. Would be nice if they were though
