115k Xbox Ones?

WTF happened?

 

[def sim]

Well, I'm happy for robots and lego.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Holy fuck, Xbox One dropped like a rock. I'm not surprised they just announced the Kinectless version.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

115k isn't crappy-crappy but it's pretty crappy.

 

[Gator86]

Start moving those goalposts, Xbone fans! May NPD is gonna be a fucking bloodbath.

 

[Tamanon]

In what world it's not bad?

Nintendo's?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

115k is not too surprising given the dropping the Kinect announcement they made. But I guess that explains that.

I honestly expected slightly worse following that announcement

Umm.........

This is for April.

That announcement was made in the middle of May.

 

[Lexxism]

RIP my predictions lol

 

[TyrantII]

TF sold more on 360

5 million XB1's vs 80+ million 360's.

If it didn't, Titanfall was a huge failure for everyone...

 

[Darksol]

Death, where is thy sting?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I can't even imagine what next month will be like if Wii U gets a bump from MK8 and Xbone continues to freefall below it. Although I don't think 1 day of Mario Kart would be enough to push the Wii U past, it will be interesting to see.

 

[Gestault]

Titanfall wins due to bundles, probably.

Hardware bundles weren't included in the figure.

 

[BlackJace]

Lego thirst

 

[allan-bh]

Wii U > Xbox One in May confirmed.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

XB1 number is bad but games are selling well. Kudos to MS for releasing the number, other companies should take note.

 

[Handy Fake]

Whelp, now we see why MS decided to go to a $399 model.

I just noticed the X1 figures. Crikey.

I'm not really au fait with these threads and the NPD in general, am I right in thinking Sony haven't released April's figures?

 

[Somnia]

Despite the hardware sales dropping this quote here is interesting, guess XBox One continues to get more software sold on it in the US for now.

April NPD Group figures released today showed that Xbox One continues to lead in software sales with the most cumulative units sold for any eighth generation home console platform life-to-date.

 

[D_RoyJenkins]

InFamous really fell off huh?

 

[Into]

115k for XO is not bad

Its horrible

Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.

 

[TomShoe]

What was it last month?

311K.

 

[StoopKid]

115k

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Xbox One 115k.

Oooof.....

 

[DNAbro]

I did not expect Titanfall to be #1 again. EA must be happy.
Now let's see what PS4 is doing.

 

[BY2K]

Wii U: Hope you enjoy your stay in the sub-100k unit sold next month, Xbox One!

 

[TheGreenGenetleman]

I'm excited to see what kind of announcement MS PR will pull off this time.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

115k? Yeah, I can see why they did a price drop. MS struggling in the US is really unexpected, even for them it seems.

 

[IAmRandom31]

115K for X1?

How is that possible?

I'm excited to see what kind of announcement MS PR will pull off this time.

Software attach rates seem to be the new thing

 

[ZoddGutts]

Dangerously close to a sub 100K month for Xbone.

Dem May NPD numbers will be really bad.

 

[Heshinsi]

Microsoft PR:

April NPD Group figures released today showed that Xbox One continues to lead in software sales with the most cumulative units sold for any eighth generation home console platform life-to-date. Combined, Xbox One and Xbox 360 held eight of the top 10 spots on the generation eight and generation seven console game lists in the U.S. And, Xbox One continues to outpace Xbox 360 sales in the same historical time period by selling over 76 percent more units in the first six months on the market.

Highlights from April 2014 NPD Group results include:

Xbox One continues to see impressive software sales, maintaining an average of three games sold per console.

With Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined, the Xbox platform sold the most games across all console platforms with 2.6 million games sold. Xbox One sold 447,000 games in April and Xbox 360 sold 2.2 million, totaling 53 percent of the total software market share (Xbox 360 and Xbox One combined).

Xbox One and Xbox 360 together held eight of the top 10 spots on the generation eight and generation seven console game list in the U.S.: “Titanfall” (Xbox One), “Kinect Sports Rivals” (Xbox One), “Titanfall” (Xbox 360), “Call of Duty: Ghosts” (Xbox 360), “NBA 2K14” (Xbox 360), “Grand Theft Auto V” (Xbox 360), “Minecraft” (Xbox 360) and “Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare” (Xbox 360).

Xbox One sold 115,000 units in the U.S. in the month of April and has outpaced box 360 sales by 76 percent in the first six months on the market.

Xbox 360 continues to grow its install base with 71,000 units sold in April in the U.S., more than any other seventh generation console.

Looking ahead to June, we’ll launch significant updates for Xbox. Earlier this week, we announced more choices and better value for Xbox fans who have been asking for options in games and entertainment experiences as well as options in hardware selection. Beginning on June 9, in all markets where Xbox One is currently sold, we will offer Xbox One starting at $399, in addition to Xbox One with Kinect. We’re also bringing a new generation of Xbox Live including Games with Gold and Deals with Gold coming to Xbox One, as well as giving anyone with an Xbox 360 or Xbox One access to apps – whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership.

We’re excited to share more about the amazing lineup of games coming to Xbox during our Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing, Xbox: Game On, which will take place Monday, June 9 beginning at 9:30 a.m. PDT. During the briefing, we’ll showcase in-depth looks at previously announced games as well as trailers for our unannounced games coming in 2014 and beyond.

Data from NPD Group, April 2014

The X360 did 295K it's first April. How long before the massive launch numbers stop being a difference maker?

 

[Pillville]

Infamous SS didn't chart? What the hell are the PS4 users playing? Twitch Plays Pokemon?

Free PS+ games
Octodad
Trials
AC4 DLC

Sorry, the first 2 infamous games didn't do it for me.

 

[NotLiquid]

Good lord, 115K for XBO during Titanfall month? This thing is FUBAR'd. Let's hope that price cut turns some heads.

 

[Foshy]

wtf @ lego marvel ds>3ds

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Jesus, 115k? And that number is certainly going to go down next month with the price-drop...

 

[LegendofLex]

"Wii U software sales were up over last year by over 80 percent," said NPD analyst Liam Callahan.

The funny thing is, I think Wii U LTD hardware sales are also up about 80 percent over last year. So the per-user software sales are flat.

 

[Asd202]

The XBox One is quickly approaching the Wii U numbers.

In May Wii U will sell more than Xbone.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

The X360 did 295K it's first April. How long before the massive launch numbers stop being a difference maker?

Four months ago.

Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.

I was not expecting it to go that low already. The $399 SKU is absolutely necessary.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Xbox One... ouch. I had it at 199K in the prediction thread, didn't think it would fall off this badly.

Ouch ouch ouch.

 

[Ambition]

115k? Haha wow, that explains the new sku.

 

[Dante316]

Infamous did sell well according to sony pr.

 

[Xyrmellon]

With those X1 numbers I wouldn't be surprised if PS4 sold less than 200k.

 

[Somnia]

Good lord, 115K for XBO during Titanfall month? This thing is FUBAR'd. Let's hope that price cut turns some heads.

Titanfall month was last month...

Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.

Makes me wonder how much longer MS will be able to boast about the bone outpacing 360.

 

[spwolf]

Whoa. Next month, they'll be lucky to scrape 50k

what were XB1 bundles like in April, was it $449 for XB1+Titanfall?

 

[Mr Moose]

Xbox One sold 447,000 games in April

Hmm...

Xbox One sold 115,000 units in the U.S. in the month of April

Do we have PS4 numbers yet?
