Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

well. that's something. 70k, i'm guessing. isn't wii up yoy ytd?

vita... well, there's the revision coming out. and there's going to be exclusive games for at least a year. so... i guess there's that.

april may see it around 8-9k, which is something the psp was doing in 2012, i believe.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Meh. If I have to start importing all my Vita games from Japan, so be it. Vita is fantastic.

 

[vaguba]

damn the thread is already so long.

Do we know how much PS4 sold yet? From Op it just says it sold more than Xbox One.

Rumor i heard was 60k more than the bone so 370kish?

 

[Thoraxes]

Is the Ouya even selling anymore?

Anecedotally, I see more Ouya systems in my local retail stores than I do the total selection of Vita games on the shelves.

 

[braves01]

damn the thread is already so long.

Do we know how much PS4 sold yet? From Op it just says it sold more than Xbox One.

I think the estimate fact right now is about 60k more than XB1, so 370k

Vita is estimated at 10-11k

 

[ambientmystic]

Still awaiting that Wii/Wii U split so we can fill in that final blank in the LTD numbers.

 

[vinnygambini]

Is the Ouya even selling anymore?

Ouya is currently no.5 on Amazon Canada. It's the only console we can afford due to the Canadian dollar.

 

[Aquamarine]

I think the estimate right now is about 60k more than XB1, so 370k

Vita is estimated at 10-11k

There is no estimate...it sold 371K.

 

[Shingro]

Gaming seems pretty dead when a big name like Metal Gear sells like that.

Good luck to all publishers that need to sell a few million copies of thier games just to break even.

*staring intensifies*

 

[A Human Becoming]

The Wii sold 24k last month, so maybe Wii U sold ~80k.

 

[Orayn]

The hour-long $40 retail demo-prologue of a big name like Metal Gear.

Yes I know it's replayable, just saying that it's understandable why some people don't find it an attractive proposition.

 

[Futaba]

I'm genuinely surprised, I had more or less assumed Xbox one would have taken march by a small margin (10-20k or so) but to lose by over 50k?... damn

 

[shinra-bansho]

well. that's something. 70k, i'm guessing. isn't wii up yoy ytd?

Huh? Didn't Wii do almost 300K Jan-Mar 13?

 

[RealityPales]

Metal Gear was a $40 demo.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Anecedotally, I see more Ouya systems in my local retail stores than I do the total selection of Vita games on the shelves.

That means that the Vita is selling, while the Ouya is collecting dust on the shelves.

Spoiler

Right?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I'm glad the numbers are miserable. They need to get off their asses, get their account system caught up past the stone age, beef up their virtual console, etc. I love Nintendo but there is just so much they could be doing that they're not doing.

None of the things you've mentioned would improve sales even though they're great things that should be done. There's also a chance that they learn the wrong lesson (or a right lesson that takes the company in a direction no one likes).

 

[John Harker]

Hey, two months being the only previously released system being up yoy in a row ... One more and that's a TREND! When you're Nintendo now, you take your tiny wins to the BANK. LITERALLY. They need it.

Yoshi sold almost as much as previous release, and donkey only down like 35%ish... Not terrible, given the circumstance.

Dark souls being up30% in first four weeks to last release, ffx HD selling more than and almost more than ff13-3 and ff13-2 is very nice, and south park crushing any comparable liscence title are all good In my book.

(I'm going to avoid titanfall since it's a hot button here, but I fail to see anything wrong with its performance so far. Personally not my kinda game tho)

 

[Chezzymann]

So basically the PS4 is the only healthy console now. Isn't that a little scary? What if the "mobile overlord" people are right?

 

[DrkSage]

damn the thread is already so long.

Do we know how much PS4 sold yet? From Op it just says it sold more than Xbox One.

Yea. Xbox sold 311k and ps4 sold 371k. Ps4 sold 60k more than Xbox one

 

[Tabular]

Yep, considering it was given out essentially for free.

essentially cheaper than free

There is no estimate...it sold 371K.

Confirmed? Where?

 

[BlackJace]

I'm not really sure where the optimism comes from that this failure will lead Nintendo to strive and change and invest towards recapturing this market, as opposed to simply pushing Nintendo further towards retreating from this market and pursuing others (QoL)...April and May tend to be less than March. Although this May has a major release at least.

I'm not really sure where the idea that QoL is Nintendo's backdoor out of the industry comes from either. Iwata himself (yeah yeah, he runs his mouth a lot) said that it's merely another revenue route, and that they are very much invested in gaming. Every company wishes to have more roots that can pump money.

 

[Sandfox]

The US summer in general tends to lull. Although this May has a major release at least.

I don't think the QoL market is big enough for Nintendo to retreat gaming.

 

[GamerJM]

At least the community is passionate. A fan translation will definitely happen regardless of the series official fate in the west.

Well, I don't know how easy it is to do an actual fan translation for a Vita game. There will certainly be translation guides and English Let's Plays though.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

We can find the range if someone wants to dig up the Xbone's LTD sales for Ghosts and whatever the next best selling game is. (Real numbers, obviously, not Chartz.)

I hate that we don't get numbers. Always annoying

 

[3rdamention]

You know it's bad news for Microsoft when Arthur Gies is talking about the post office on his a Twitter feed.

You know its bad news when Gies is tweeting that the fact that Microsoft is reporting Shipped to Retailer numbers instead of Sold to Consumer numbers makes his eyebrow raise.

 

[Aquamarine]

Huh? Didn't Wii do almost 300K Jan-Mar 13?

291K, yep.

 

[prag16]

No one should be surprised.

But the idea that something like 75K isn't THAT bad... :/

Only in terms of the current climate of course. On the whole it's still terrible, obviously.

What got me was more the fact that people are acting surprised.

 

[TheSeks]

Damn so under 15k?

That'd be 5 digits, wouldn't?

>>Shahid<<

Don't worry guys, IndieZZZzzz will save the system.

Spoiler

No they really won't. And I wish more AAA ports would happen. Notable: JRPGs. :/

 

[KimonoNoNo]

So Vita forever be late indie ports + niche japanese games confirmed ?

Well maybe they'll bundle with ps4 in the future lol

That's assuming niche Japanese games get localised in the first place.

 

[theprodigy]

There is no estimate...it sold 371K.

but did it sell 370.9K, which is good, or 371K, which is amazing?

 

[Boombloxer]

By all means continue to foretell doom based off a $40 demo.

 

[Orayn]

Creamsugar says over a million, so that's something.

 

[raven777]

Rumor i heard was 60k more than the bone so 370kish?

Exactly 371K.

Yea. Xbox sold 311k and ps4 sold 371k. Ps4 sold 60k more than Xbox one

Yea. Xbox sold 311k and ps4 sold 371k. Ps4 sold 60k more than Xbox one

thanks!
Not much difference I guess but considering Titanfall release I also thought Xbox One will outsell PS4 so its a surprise.

 

[noobasuar]

Metal Gear was a $40 demo.

True. But did the general public really know that?

 

[Syphon Filter]

That Ground Zeroes split is crazy.

where?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

avert your eyes, SmokeyDave

 

[Mike Double U]

What if Microsoft dropped the X1 to $400 and made Xbox Live (Gold) free for everyone at E3? Is this something actually feasible for them to do?

 

[N.Domixis]

So who will win april? Im sure both will fall next month.

 

[Tamanon]

So basically the PS4 is the only healthy console now. Isn't that a little scary? What if the "mobile overlord" people are right?

Hmm? XBox One is relatively healthy. It only looks like a failure because it was assumed to win the US.

 

[ascii42]

So basically the PS4 is the only healthy console now. Isn't that a little scary? What if the "mobile overlord" people are right?

Xbox One's sales aren't unhealthy. Not yet, at least.

 

[TomShoe]

PS4, this is insider information y'all. Heard it here first spitting them #truthfacts on the web making it known

ya dig

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

No numbers for titanfall??

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Oh Vita and Wii U it's painful to just look at you anymore.

 

[vinnygambini]

This pleases me greatly! Great game and thanks John Harker for the valuable insight!

 

[ReBurn]

True. But did the general public really know that?

After they bought it, probably.

 

[Warm Machine]

Fully expecting a Kinectless Xbox One for $350 at E3.

 

[Orayn]

True. But did the general public really know that?

Do you think the general public assumed the latest metal gear was randomly $40 instead of 60?

 

[Thoraxes]

That means that the Vita is selling, while the Ouya is collecting dust on the shelves.

Spoiler

Right?

._.

 

[BlackJace]

iunderstoodthatreference.webm

 

[RealityPales]

True. But did the general public really know that?

The game wasn't advertised like MGS4 was. The people who bought it had a pretty good idea.
