50K off Vita, PS4, and Wii U.

I like graphs. Do we have a graph in the making for 8th gen consoles?
Sure! I like graphs too.
There was no bundle in America, there would have been ads for it.

Nevermind, the post I replied to was edited
Oh geez...Seeing the Wii U sales on the graph is just sad for any investor.
Edit: Wait...is the graph suggesting that X1 and WU will stabilize soon at a constant rate, while PS4 will just linearly grow at 200k pace?
where was this confirmed? I thought they said the reason was because they wanted to keep the rights to the IP?
on topic: not surprised by the results. next month shall be more interesting.
Well, afaik may sales are usually lower than april, so it helped the PS4 at least to stay flat. Imo it was a given that MK8 would help the WiiU much more than WD the PS4, esspecially since the WiiU numbers normally are so low that they can get boosted easily.

But its so stable! If you put a ball on top of it, it wouldn't even roll...
I'll be here all week

Sure! I like graphs too.
This was exactly what I wanted. I like anyone who like graphs. Thank you.

No, thats not how data works - its not suggesting anything, its showing what is
EDIT:
You can make your own suggestions and extrapolate from that data, of course.

I'm curious in June NPD numbers purely to see how exactly Reggie was spinning that number. Because I don't expect we'll see the Wii U selling 200K in June.
I'm going to guess that the week of Monday the 30th, sales were 4x higher than the weeks prior, which with 25K people collecting their bundles isn't implausible, and thus the average daily rate of sales was 4x higher. Which matches what Gibson tweeted about a 4.1x week/week increase, if the daily rate was 4x when Reggie was interviewed then the week over week increase should have been much higher upon MK8's release week.
"Prove me wrong, kids. Prove me wrong."

Neither is doing well.

Thanks Aqua and Creamsugar. Great work as usual.
Sure! I like graphs too.
mmmmm lines. Somebody draw a trend line!!!!
Seriously though I think this gives a great impression. Either the trend sticks or in the next few months we might see a change.

Another lively graph! Or should I say...pessimistic.
It's a classic GameCube + Wii U comparison graph!

If someone reminds me I'll get a pretty graph going comparing NoAs past performances plus DC comparisons!

We want a Wii vs PS4 graph. Pleaaaaase.
I'm glad people now realize there was almost no Vita stock the last couple of months.
I wonder if they'll sell a non-bundled 2000.
They're doing a little better than their standards, but "well" isn't the correct word.
Below 80k is pretty bad. It's only become almost common since the launch of the Wii U.
I believe in the early, hard years of the struggling PS3 it never dipped below 80k.

It's interesting how the graphs are basically the same the Wii U numbers are just lower.

Oh, fun fact. TTM US hardware sales for PlayStation/Xbox consoles is back over 10M units for the first time in 20 months.
It reached a low point of about 7.3M units right before the launch of new systems.

I'm not sure that's a reasonable expectation. PS3 was able to turn around on the back of a massive price cut and Sony's deep bench of quality first-party studios churning out quality first-party games. Microsoft can do the price cut, but they just don't have the same sort of ability to produce exclusives.

those charts are pretty interesting current gen doing much better than last gen launch alined despite what some continue to say. PS4One is almost ahead of PS360s second holiday already.

Whaaat? Are we still talking about the context of USA? Because then you just kinda have to realize that Microsoft's franchises (especially Halo) have had a bigger impact on the market than any Sony-exclusive on PS3. MS certainly has issues and difficulties ahead of them, having well-selling franchises is not one of them.

Nice bump for the U, but goodness at the X1 slump. I expect that's due to the price cut news, but you'd think the various deals that were floating around would have pushed sales a little more...
Next month will be key, if there's no significant boost...MS in dire straits?

Halo is a bigger deal in the US than any two of Sony's exclusives combined, Gears will come eventually too. MS definitely will make some recovery in NA at least.
