[astrogamer]

Ltd I assume
Edit: Rethought it and Xb1 and Ps4 can't be that close ltd wise so it has to be this month's

 

[Impeccable]

I own a SNES and I'm really happened this happened.

Reposting for new page-



Please note that the below is based on preliminary data and is to act as a guide only.

 

[allan-bh]

basically just confirms Xbox One=187k, PS4=174k (though there may be a 1k rounding between one of these two?), Wii U=43k

Using 187k for XBO, PS4 is more 175k.

 

[The Last One]

basically just confirms Xbox One=187k, PS4=174k (though there may be a 1k rounding between one of these two?), Wii U=43k

If the difference is 14K then Orochi will have a heart attack!!!

 

[Chobel]

Using 187K for XB1
PS4 = 174.73K
Wii U = 42.89K

 

[3rdbass]

Not yet

Sucks that BB couldn't keep up the momentum in April but with NPD's current system it is very hard for a single SKU to place in consecutive months in the top 10 unless it is Halo.

 

[creamsugar]

3D < 75

It's on individual SKU top 10, so could have sold well for second month.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Using 187k for XBO, PS4 is more 175k.

You have to remember that Xbox One is not exactly 187k.

Nor was it exactly 115k last year.

So of course there will be a very very slight rounding issue.

 

[Welfare]

Ah cream!

So PS4 is really 175k. Lets go with that so I do a tiny bit better in the predictions.

 

[allan-bh]

3D < 75

I supose is decent for a Wii port exclusive for New 3DS.

 

[Ty4on]

basically just confirms Xbox One=187k, PS4=174k (though there may be a 1k rounding between one of these two?), Wii U=43k

I get 187 and 175 or 186 and 174

Spoiler

187 and 174 is ofc still possible

The king... has returned. In this game of thrones, where there can be only one market leader, the market... has spoken. A few years into last generation, the 360 unexpectedly got a boost from a hardware revision, kinect, and a price cut and never looked back, dominating the remainder of the generation. Now, history has repeated itself, but much sooner than anyone could have guessed.

Microsoft didn't need a price cut and they told Sony "you could have those measly third party marketing deals". They said we're gonna win this on the power of our brand alone. Sony underestimated how long it takes to make next-generation games and is left without anything significant to show for this critical holiday season. So they're throwing around what little money they have left in their chauffeurs hoping something sticks.

Now that the DRM fiasco is forgotten and the kinect has become optional, the value proposition has been turned on its head. The masses are flocking back to the Xbox brand in record numbers. Microsoft is one-upping, so to speak, Sony at every turn. You got Plus? We got Gold. You got Bloodborne, yeah we got Scalebound. You got The Order, have some Gears Remastered, what you wish The Order was. They told fans to find the truth, and boy did the fans ever find it. Be prepared... Halo... is... coming.

Sony could spend their efforts trying to win the rest of the world, but Microsoft is perfectly content with dominating the good ole US of A. Win april, check. Win May, no problem. Dominate E3... done and done. Momentum is a funny thing... once it gets going, good luck trying to stop it. I don't envy Sony's position one bit. To build a lead only to see that lead whittled away until it's eventually overtaken. That one poster above may be physically rattled by this news, but the bigger story is how these NPD results have forever, and irreversibly, left Sony, and it's fans, straight shook.

9.5/10 Not bad

 

[theprodigy]

3D < 75

...holy shit, sub 75k is good enough for #5 SKU these days?

 

[travisbickle]

Xbox One might have sold the most but I reckon PS4 sold the quickest.

 

[Mory Dunz]

3D < 75

And this would've charted 5th on single format?

oh

 

[Vena]

...holy shit, sub 75k is good enough for #5 SKU these days?

That's roughly 1 in 10 users of the N3DS in the States!

But that also tells us alot if Xeno3D was going to sit at top 5 with that number...

 

[creamsugar]

x > 1.25, 4 ~ 58.7%
2 ~ 105, 4 ~ 51%, 1 ~ 42%

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Either that consoles are dead or that digital is eating retail's lunch

Nintendo is pretty good at reporting its digital numbers so we'll know soon enough.

 

[Mory Dunz]

x > 1.25, 4 ~ 58.7%
2 ~ 105, 4 ~ 51%, 1 ~ 42

MKX and Dark Souls?

 

[allan-bh]

WOW.. Huge sales for MK.

 

[Vena]

x > 1.25, 4 ~ 58.7%
2 ~ 105, 4 ~ 51%, 1 ~ 42%

Huh. Pretty good numbers for MKX, and that split is not that far apart.

Either that consoles are dead or that digital is eating retail's lunch

I mean, looking at the numbers, DSII is at ~105k at the 8th spot, combined. Aside from GTA and MKX, software sales are bad at retail at least.

 

[Zones]

9.5/10 Not bad

I think he's (mostly) serious.

 

[Bsigg12]

MKX did really well, wow.

 

[Kusagari]

Huh. Pretty good numbers for MKX, and that split is not that far apart.

I don't know 58% PS4 is a bigger gap than I expected. I was thinking at most 55-45.

 

[Chobel]

man thats actually a pretty decent split for dark souls considering the fanbase is most likely on ps but then again bloodborne just launched a couple of weeks before it.

pretty good sales advantage of mkx sales for ps4

 

[creamsugar]

LTD diff : 680 ~ 690

 

[LittleToaster]

Hardware:

Xbox One: Best selling console. (Up 63% year over year)

Out of nowhere!

 

[Toki767]

About a 220k difference in sales. It's certainly not one sided at least. Maybe.

 

[Vena]

I don't know 58% PS4 is a bigger gap than I expected. I was thinking at most 55-45.

I was expecting more but more from a future-stance point of view of thinking that more fighting game fans would be on the PS4 due to the eventual SFV, and as such more likely to support a fighting game like this. That may have been misguided thinking, though.

That said, I guess we know that BB is at least <100k for the entire month.

 

[allan-bh]

LTD diff : 680 ~ 690

If you can, Bloodborne sales for april.

 

[sense]

LTD diff : 680 ~ 690

bloodborne plz

Are you serious? That's quite an imagination you have there. The xbone could have won by 50 consoles and here you are painting this picture that the guys at Sony are literally shitting in their pants.

he is joking lol

Yup

 

[ZSaberLink]

LTD diff : 680 ~ 690

Also interested in Mario Party 10 2nd month sales, since it apparently was one of the top 10 selling SKUs this month.

I'm pretty sure that's a running gag btw.

 

[Chobel]

I don't know 58% PS4 is a bigger gap than I expected. I was thinking at most 55-45.

Personally I expected more, bigger than 60% for PS4.

 

[Toki767]

Personally I expected more, bigger than 60% for PS4.

It possibly is when you count digital sales.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Interesting news to come home to. I love a mix up like this. It makes the threads very fun to read.

 

[Kusagari]

Personally I expected more, bigger than 60% for PS4.

I figure MK appeals to the Xbox audience more than the average fighter.

 

[theprodigy]

x > 1.25, 4 ~ 58.7%
2 ~ 105, 4 ~ 51%, 1 ~ 42%

yeah so, if that's the cutoff for top 10 now (and this is actually #8), time to open bets on what position Splatoon's gonna chart next month

 

[Blackage]

I guess the lower price point finally helped them out in a very slow sales period.

No exclusives really(Bloodborne's sales seem to have been very frontloaded).

 

[Welfare]

x > 1.25, 4 ~ 58.7%

MK is good.

2 is DS2 right? Now that is actually close.

 

[allan-bh]

Considering that now digital sales are bigger and old gen versions was delayed, I'm very surprised that MK X sold that much on retail.

 

[Vena]

yeah so, if that's the cutoff for top 10 now (and this is actually #8), time to open bets on what position Splatoon's gonna chart next month

What else releases in May? I will give you my bet once I know what there is and isn't.

 

[On Demand]

As a PS4 owner im really happy this happened. I want both Consoles in the race. Not just Sony leading. I can see MS always trying to improve their console every month while Sony is doing kinda nothing. Good Job Microsoft & Phil . you guys really did turn this around.

Where does this thinking come from? Boggles my mind.

 

[Chobel]

I figure MK appeals to the Xbox audience more than the average fighter.

last-gen, It sold more in PS3 (NPD) even though 360 had significantly higher install base.

 

[Welfare]

Probably below the top 5.
