~100k for the number one console? this generation is coming to a close very quickly.

This generation should have ended year ago.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Good job on DKCR 3D.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

So 3DS sold more than 114k, meaning there was an increase month to month?

Insignificant, yes.

When I first read Nintendo's PR statement, I thought they said hardware rose 60%

 

[Mpl90]

Uh oh... no hard numbers.

Oh God Wii U.
At least, 3DS is really first this time...and up YOY (how much is not known though...it could be just 1k :lol)

 

[MasterSheen]

Microsoft does exclude handhelds from their comparisons. It neither supports 3DS being higher nor provides evidence against 3DS being higher. Just FYI.

Oh I know, just saying that people thought before that 3DS topped 360 because of the PR saying top selling "console".

 

[Madouu]

I think the most interesting thing to see will be Animal Crossing's impact on 3ds sales. I don't expect it to be that great personally, which is a shame but we shall see.

This month, not much to see apart from 3ds finally being number 1 I guess and the decent but not amazing sales of DKCR3D.

 

[DaBoss]

At least 3DS is doing OK. All current of these 7 year old platforms need a price drop stat. A new model may have been a good idea.

And man, my predictions are going to be off by quite a bit.

Also, if DKCR3D charted, that can't mean good things.

 

[donny2112]

Oh I know, just saying that people thought before that 3DS topped 360 because of the PR saying top selling "console".

Yeah, exactly. Microsoft's wording doesn't let us tell either way on how handhelds did.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Got the 360 and 3DS places right, yay, but tbh I just took jvm's hint and copied his number....

 

[Hammer24]

OK; distilling the info from the NPD thread and rounding to full 1K´s I come up with:

[3DS] 115K
[360] 114K
[PS3] 85K
[WII] 36K
[WIU] 35K
[PSV] 15K
[PSP] 4K


Good enough to run with these? If so, I´d be 23K off.

 

[DrWong]

Yeah good enough, now give me da points... ^^

 

[doicare]

In any other month being off by only 29k~ would be enough to win the month, at worst top 5. This month it's not even good enough for top 10 lol.

 

[Sweenix]

[360] 122K
[3DS] 114K
[PS3] 98K
[PSV] 14K
[WIU] 38K

3ds spot on!!

also, i did pretty well, although my PS3 guess was a shocker

 

[Goldmund]

Still not enough data to rank?

 

[donny2112]

Since these weren't posted earlier ...

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - May-2013

1. 360 - 111K
2. 3DS - 100K
3. PS3 - 88K
4. WIU - 32K
5. PSV - 14K

Planning on using the below for predictions, then, unless someone in the know throws up a big stop sign.

3DS =114,001 (to maintain the cardinal ordering)
360 = 114K
PS3 = 85K
WIU = 35K
PSV = 15K

No one spoke up to say otherwise in the NPD thread, so using these for the results.

Congratulations, prag16!

Edit:
48 out of 49 < 100K in Units. Wow. Good job, everybody!

 

[Goldmund]

I think I should start savoring these few months I'll be able to remain in the top 10. Congrats, prag16.

 

[jvm]

As I suspected, ranking the 3DS and 360 correctly was important. I was terrible on units, and not nearly so terrible on points.

Very interesting month. Next month will be even more so!

Thanks everyone, for taking part, and thanks donny2112 for doing the hard work to make the thread.

 

[metalslimer]

Should have had more confidence in the 3DS =(

 

[MasterSheen]

Yes! My highest ranking achieved yet for NPD. I'm satisfied with 2nd, but congrats to the one who came out on top!

 

[Hammer24]

Damn PS3 threw me off.
But ´grats to prag16!

 

[Bruno MB]

Congratulations to prag16!

I deserve the bad ranking this month for not going with my gut feeling

 

[DrWong]

As usual, congrat' to the whin... winner.

I'm happy my 3DS bet paid off.

 

[DaBoss]

Congrats prag16!

I should have had more confidence in everything though a bonus is I guessed the PS3 correctly.

 

[allan-bh]

As I suspected, ranking the 3DS and 360 correctly was important. I was terrible on units, and not nearly so terrible on points.

Same thing with me. I think it was my worst month on units. Ranking 3DS above Xbox 360 saved me.

And Congrats prag16!
