Why is there no new topic for the news?

 

[Chobel]

I don't think they're including handheld

 

[vinnygambini]

Oh thank god (and you).

lol

It seems he quoted Sony's statement (given the following tweet from McWhetor), so...maybe it's like you said. Let's see, though.

I guess we will have to wait until 6:30 pm but I would personally be surprised (my predictions ;..

More power to them if so.

That's at ~6:30pm EST

Thread is created when top 10 is out (Around 6:30 ET)

 

[darkside31337]

Would be nice if someone actually posted the PR blurb Sony sent lol

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm super excited to see what number Xenoverse is on the sales chart, I wonder if it will be similar to the PSN chart.

 

[Pound_lb003]

I suspect The Order did pretty well.

 

[slavesnyder]

Handheld are no real hardware, same as
Indies are no real games.

 

[BY2K]

Natural order is restored.

Sony says PS4 "was #1 in hardware and software sales in February" according to NPD

WoW,confirmed PS4 > new 3DS?
The Order has pushed PS4 imho

You don't really mean that :' (

I'd be really happy if it broke top 5.

 

[Mass Effect]

don't we get them from cream sometimes?

True, but he might not last much longer either if the NPD is really cracking down.

Note that MSFT & SNE don't count portable hardware in the console space.

Yeah, but Keighley just says "hardware," and the 3DS is hardware...

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Derpyduck]

PS4 in a slow month beat the new 3DS? LOL. At least now we know where Beast Mode was in February.

 

[Majmun]

Amazon right again.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Amazon right again.

When will people learn that AMAZON is making it happen with predictions.

 

[Elfstruck]

If Ps4 top new 3ds, my prediction flopped hard. But still congratulation Sony for getting back the win streak.

 

[crazyprac]

Amazon right again.

I think they will always be right until there's a big retail sale that amazon can't price match... Which is close to nil. Lol.

 

[slavesnyder]

You don't really mean that :' (

Take a guess, sackboy.

 

[Derpyduck]

WoW,confirmed PS4 > new 3DS?

There were some insanely good bundles in Feb, which most likely pushed it(as well as positive word of mouth for Dying Light). Didn't think it would beat the new 3DS though. I guess Nintendo knew something when they didn't pack-in a charger after all. No chance of getting new owners to buy one.

Amazon right again.

Ready at Dawn hopes you're wrong. After 8 days on sale, it fell out of the top 100 in hourly video game sales.

 

[Flarin]

Grats for PS4.

For anyone saying The Order is responsible, no way. I'm guessing Dragonball Xenoverse and Evolve both outsold it.

 

[Rymuth]

“Demand for PlayStation 4 remains incredibly strong in the U.S. as it was #1 in hardware and software sales in February according to the latest NPD report. PS4 remains the cumulative leader in hardware sales with more than 20.2 million units sold to consumers worldwide demonstrating the fastest growth in PlayStation hardware history.”

Fastest growth? Impressive, Sony.

 

[BokehKing]

Wait, #1 despite New 3DS XL?

Are we forgetting how hard it was to get one at first? Took me forever they were sold out everywhere

 

[Welfare]

If DBX PS4 outsold The Order, I'd lol the rest of the day.

I feel that if 1886 did strong prior to the end of the reporting period, Sony would have made some kind of comment.

 

[foolishoptimist]

The Order did get a big marketing push. More than a lot of Sony's first party games usually get.

Interested to see how well it did despite all the negative gaming press.

Order was ps4 only and had huge buzz. Of course it pushed consoles

 

[N.Domixis]

So the reason xb1 was ahead for most third parties last NDP was truly just new people picking up games?

u kidding rite? Evolve, maybe...but Dragonball? ;3

How so? Dragon Ball is a WELL known brand. I understand the Order had hype simply by being a First party game but it is still just a new IP.

Yeah, but Keighley just says "hardware," and the 3DS is hardware...

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Example:

Xbox 360 second, behind DS.

Xbox 360 Leads U.S. Console Market for Seventh Consecutive Month

Xbox 360 led the U.S. console market for the seventh consecutive month and has sold more units in the U.S. than any other console for 13 of the past 14 months.

What percentage of total sales do you think is digital? (asking that to whomever wants to answer)

Probably!

 

[RespectThySole]

It did digitally. No idea if it will physically. I didn't expect such strong sales for it, but there are a ton of DBZ fans.

 

[allan-bh]

Sony PR boring as always.

 

[Flarin]

If DBX PS4 outsold The Order, I'd lol the rest of the day.

This is digital only, but you can start loling:

 

[pixelation]

I, for one... hope that the PS4 did in fact manage to outsell the N3DS.

 

[ethomaz]

My prediction had PS4 > 3DS... so I'm good.

Spoiler

Sad I lost the deadline lol

 

[The Last One]

WAIT, if Sony is saying that the ps4 is the leader in cumulative hardware then they're excluding the 3ds.

 

[Mpl90]

Going by the "cumulative hardware sales" blurb, it seems Sony is really not considering handhelds.

 

[Welfare]

Well the game is getting harder to find in retail, and The Order has 2 weeks vs DBX 1 week.

Now saying that, I expect DBX (all platforms) > The Order

Basically Sony saying "Bussiness as usual."

Wonder how The Order charted. Will be Interesting, especially seeing the February PSN charts.

Sounds like console only #s. nN3ds is going to take the month.
