I misread--Wii U sales are up 90% so far in 2014, compared to 2013. That's US, of course. #NPD


Wii U hardware sales were up more than 85% in May specifically, with only two days of Mario Kart being on the market for the survey. #NPD


Also, the 3DS was the No. 2 best-selling hardware system in the US in may, Nintendo says.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Woah, the show at #3?!?!?

Bahaha, did not expect that.

 

[Neuromancer]

Double... Almost.

Holy shit

How is that compared to last year?

 

[Silky]

/really/ interested in seeing the Wii-U numbers.

Wow.

 

[SparkPeople]

Let's remember that Mario Kart 8 came out on May 30th.

Yeah, that's absolutely insane.

Does the NPD count pack-in games with normal retail?

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Two days and only on one platform (wii u of all things)? MK8 is impressive

Not to mention that bundles don't count in NPD's.

Right?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Congrats Nintendo on MK8

 

[Dinjooh]

Anxiously awaiting PR.

 

[Pound_lb003]

For how hard EA tried to bury the 360 version of Titanfall, it seems like it releasing did them some good.

Imagine if they'd actually done a PS4 version. I think the Titanfall brand would have been so much more relevant.

 

[ascii42]

Yeah I guess Borderlands 2 Vita flopped. Couldn't even chart with bundles and new hardware. Shame.

Software in bundles doesn't count here, I believe.

 

[FDC1]

Hardware up 95% but only 85% for WiiU. Does it mean PS4 did a really higher month than expected?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

.

WiiU at 89k

 

[RiggyRob]

C'moooooon Wii U over X1.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Right next to Murdered: Soul Suspect.

Murdered came out this month.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Kirby really is a silent seller. No one really pegs it as a decent seller, but it sells well and consistently.

I definitely expected Mario Golf to outsell it. Nintendo was certainly pushing it as the game they were advertising when they released them both on the same day.

 

[Guamu]

How many days of sales does this cover for Mario Kart?

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Let's remember that Mario Kart 8 came out on May 30th.

Yeah i forgot about that!!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Btw, Xbone has some serious trouble. All multiplats sold better on the PS4.

Even Ghosts.

 

[BY2K]

How many days of sales does this cover for Mario Kart?

2.

 

[jvm]

95% is a lot, right?

Pretty decent.

EDIT: Refers to dollahs? Then forget it.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Think Sony will give a break down of MLB sales by platform? I expect PS3>PS4>Vita, but numbers would be nice.

Doubtful, but keep in mind the Vita and PS3 versions were out an entire month earlier than the PS4 version, so I have a feeling most of this is a result of the latter's release.

 

[RE_Player]

Software in bundles doesn't count here, I believe.

You are right. My bad.

 

[SparkPeople]

How many days of sales does this cover for Mario Kart?

Two days I believe

 

[Acquiescence]

If it wasn't for the Vita version, MLB wouldn't even be in the top ten.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Will be interesting to see Wii U numbers this month.

 

[FZZ]

WiiU at 89k

He misread. Its up 90% so far in 2014.

 

[Error]

MK8 showing in the software chart is kind of impressive considering these charts take into account every single version of each game.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Kirby in top 10? Intriguing!

Yeah it did, I'm an idiot when it comes to past release dates for games.

That says a lot about Xbox and the WiiU sales.

 

[leatherhat]

Good work for MK8 and MLB

 

[BrokenIcarus]

So:
#1 PS4
#2 3DS
#3 Wii U/XBO??

 

[Nirolak]

Is that month over month or year over year?

 

[soul creator]

Minecraft was co-published by Microsoft and Sony

megaton

 

[gogogow]

Amazing performance by MK8. Great game, totally deserved. Kirby did well too.

 

[gngf123]

Luigi Kart doing well.

 

[RiggyRob]

Two.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Murdered came out this month.

Maybe he's making a joke about how hard it died.

 

[rokkerkory]

Go stuff mk8!

Great Scott!

 

[Neuromancer]

Even Ghosts.

Price cut will save them.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

XBO numbers must be ....bad

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Confirmed PC Gaming is Dead?

Doesn't include digital sales. So no.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Looking at this I wouldn't be shocked if the WiiU outsold the XO

That MK8 hype

 

[Vibranium]

Wow, Nintendo really seems to have taken advantage of their Mario Kart moment. Hopefully things continue.

And Kirby in top 10 is wonderful too, great game.

 

[vinnygambini]

Kirby's performance makes me smile

 

[Otakumegane]

So WiiU at 90k then if we're looking at an 90% increase?

 

[Exterminieren]

Wait, I forgot that bundles weren't counted. Even more impressive for Mario Kart, then.
