These consoles desperately need a price drop.

When Microsoft puts out shit numbers like 160k and then says its 45% of the console market, YIKES. PS3 and Wii sales must be in the gutter. Poor showing all around this month.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

360 outsold handhelds too with 160K? US market is not looking healthy!

 

[Des0lar]

Can we estimate CoD3 numbers based on last month? So we can find out how much the games below have sold at most?

Anyone?

 

[TheNatural]

360 outsold handhelds too with 160K? US market is not looking healthy!

Someone PLEASE leak Vita sales lolol

 

[UberTag]

3DS is also <160K. No Midnight Purple victory lap here.

Indeed, 45% of almost nothing is not that big

The numbers are a disaster imo

 

[RumblingRosco]

Sold all my shares in video game companies this month because of my fear the industry is going into a deep, dark place.

 

[specialguy]

I cant imagine Wii numbers, if they did 92k last month...

60k?

And Vita, what, 700? LOL.

No, Microsoft only counts consoles. At least they've always done that before.

Tons of iPhones sell. The market is fine. It's just different now.

 

[Brakara]

No, Microsoft only counts consoles. At least they've always done that before.

You think the 3DS, NDS or the Vita outsold the 360? Think again.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

We desperately need new consoles.

When Microsoft puts out shit numbers like 160k and then says its 45% of the console market, YIKES. PS3 and Wii sales must be in the gutter. Poor showing all around this month.

Fixed.

Consumers are not use to generations lasting this long. 720 should of launched fall 2011 and the PS4 should be launching along side with WiiU this holiday. Console generations need to be getting shorter to keep interest high. Not this 7 year bullshit.

A wise move. The pain will get worse before it gets any better.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

No, Microsoft only counts consoles. At least they've always done that before.

It's from their PR:

Xbox 360 sold more units in May in the U.S. than any other console or handheld game device

 

[donny2112]

That's right, kids. That's -41% YOY.

When their multiplier was very probably way too high estimating Wal-Mart data, getting the real Wal-Mart data is going to come as a shock. Having Wal-Mart data is a very good thing. Hope they update the LTDs to include the Wal-Mart data directly instead of their past estimations.

 

[donny2112]

Seem to have a good idea of hardware numbers from various hints in the May NPD thread, so going to go with that for predictions this month.

Info links added for anyone who wants to work it out themselves:

360: 160K
PS3: 124K
3DS: 113.5K
Wii: 71K
PSV: >50K, <56.8K

1 2 3 4 5 6

As you can see, some of this is based on rough numbers from last May, so it's not exact.

Going to go with 55K for Vita to have a 5/10 round-ish number.

Congratulations, Dynopia!

 

[Goldmund]

I guess I'm not the only one who missed this, therefore the bump. Also: top 10, baby!

 

[Petrae]

Lesson learned. Aim lower with projections from here on out.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Yay, top 10.

But, still over-optimistic on home consoles.

 

[Madao]

this month destroyed me beyond imagination.

next month i'll put everything below 200k.
