WiiU is gonna outsell Xbone next month isn't it?

It's not impossible, at this rate and with MK8 on the horizon.

 

[nib95]

1. Surprised Titanfall sold more on the 360
2. InFamous dropped off big time
3. 115k for the Xbox One seems incredibly low

 

[HooYaH]

You know what's crazy, Wii U may actually beat XBO next month with the Mario Kart bundles.

 

[Kaako]

115K...I said damn.

 

[rjc571]

Given that PS4 + Xbone LTD is more than double PS3 + 360 first six months, and Xbone April is 115k, someone who has all the past results should be able to come up with a lower bound for PS4 April.

 

[Averon]

If XBO dropped that much, I'm wondering what a price cut would realistically do.

 

[jeffers]

If Mario Kart 8 does its job, the Wii U could potentially outsell the Xbox One in May-June.

Think about that.

not just that, but think about that headline! on the back of positive mario kart momentum! is that finally something going slightly right/lucky for wiiu? (yes massive failure and all i know)

 

[Bundy]

115K for X1?

How is that possible?

 

[Asd202]

360:

April 2006 - 295K

April 2007 - 174K

April 2008 - 188K

April 2009 - 175K

April 2010 - 185K

April 2011 - 297K

April 2012 - 236K

April 2013 - 130K



Xbox One:

April 2014 - 115K


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

Hehe this is really putting some perspective. No doubt the announcement was made because of this numbers.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Well that's intriguing

 

[CadetMahoney]

Holy fuck. I'm not surprised they just announced the Kinectless version.

Wow, they did?

Talk about complete desperation.

Anyone remember all that talk about how they would never abandon Kinect and the console was built around it. It was an impossible proposition. Yet, here we are.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

So is it 2:1 or is it under 200k?

Which one is it?

I believe the statement was almost 2:1.

 

[Kusagari]

It sucks Mario Kart is the end of this month. Wii U probably still won't beat the bone in May.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

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.

You're kidding right?

Xbone will sell almost nothing next month as people wait for the kinectless SKU and possible firesales on the existing SKUs.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Where are PS4 sale #s?

Also, 115 XBO? Is that average or below-average? Sounds bad.

EDIT: Looked at some of the other posts w/ averages (thnx Aquamarine),....I'm actually genuinely worried about this system long-term now.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Games are not selling well compared to XB1.

I guess there's some silver lining if you look hard enough.

 

[StoopKid]

Kinect sports bomba ?

 

[GamerJM]

Umm.........

This is for April.

That announcement was made in the middle of May.

I'm saying that Microsoft could have seen the poor sales of the Xbox One in April and decided to announce the dropping of the Kinect as a reaction to that. Unless I'm missing something.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

THat's a big ass drop... I expected the Xbox one to sell more than is had for last month

To be fair, last's months NPD covered 5 weeks while only 4 weeks are covered this month (though it's still a significant drop.)

 

[Alchemist]

"Delivering more choices for fans"

Yeah right. 115K is downright awful.

 

[LiK]

115k for XO is not bad

your handle betrays you!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Yeah, RIP my predictions for Xbox One. :-(

Indeed. :/

 

[Mpl90]

Just to give a better perspective

March (5 weeks) - 311,000 units sold -->62,200 units per week
April (4 weeks) - 115,000 units sold -->28,750 units per week

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

It's better than the rumored sub-100k number that was going around, but not by much.

 

[FroJay]

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

Worse? I didn't think they would be anywhere near that low....I'm curious about PS4 numbers now. The One is in big trouble this gen, and it's gonna be an severe uphill battle to swing the momentum the other way.

 

[Gator86]

Holy shit

 

[alr1ght]

 

[ascii42]

Well, sounds like my Xbox One and PS4 predictions were a bit high then.

 

[KillerMan91]

Yeah this month was pretty barren release wise so no surprise for low numbers. Well we don't have PS4 numbers yet but probably something like 200k. Next month should be better at least for PS4. MLB The Show and Watch_Dogs bundle.

 

[Trevelyon]

I guess there's some silver lining if you look hard enough.

..and you know he be looking.

 

[AstroNut325]

Need charts. And data in GIF form.

 

[zeopower6]

Games are not selling well compared to XB1.

Maybe PS4 owners buy digitally more often? I know most of the games I've gotten so far have been from the PS Store.

 

[CorySchmitz]

Damn I thought XB1 would sell better cos of Titanfall word-of-mouth.

 

[Rebel Leader]

To be fair, last's months NPD covered 5 weeks while only 4 weeks are covered this month (though it's still a significant drop.)

I know but still, it's a big drop

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Wow, I tend to be pessimistic on Xbone sales, but even I highballed with 175k. 115k seems loooooooooooooooooooooow.

 

[MikahR]

Hmm, PS4's hardware numbers are suspiciously absent...

 

[schuelma]

Wow. What was Wii U's first April? I know it was worse than this...but geesh.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I guess there's some silver lining if you look hard enough.

Yes selling more games is a complete irrelevance and should be ignored.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

If Mario Kart 8 does its job, the Wii U could potentially outsell the Xbox One in May-June.

Think about that.

Wouldn't that be June, and July? You know, since it's basically coming out at the very end of the month.

 

[TheLegendary]

Where did Infamous go? Yikes talk about a nose dive.

Correct.

Less than 200k for PS4? Neither are super inspiring numbers.

 

[Joe_Incognito]

360:

April 2006 - 295K

April 2007 - 174K

April 2008 - 188K

April 2009 - 175K

April 2010 - 185K

April 2011 - 297K

April 2012 - 236K

April 2013 - 130K



Xbox One:

April 2014 - 115K


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

Out of context. Does not account for the major price difference between the two products. The Arcade and Deluxe SKUs for the 360 and the $500 price tag for the Xbox One.

Infamous Second Son dropped like a stone. Right off the charts. Nintendo games nowhere to be found. The top 10 seems pretty generic.

Oh, and are people really surprised that Titanfall sold better on a system with a roughly 80 million unit install base? Really? Ok honestly, how many of those 80 million 360 console still function? But still, if you're pretending to be surprised at the difference you're just grasping at straws.

Any change we'll get the actual PS4 hardware sales number this month? I'm not talking estimates or cryptic statements from insiders, but actual solid, here it is numbers.

*crickets*

 

[TomShoe]

Well that's intriguing

You might as well just cross everything else off the list besides the price drop and Halo 5.

 

[Mooreberg]

Goddamn. Xbox One went all in on sales, promotions, bundles, Titanfall marketing. It's fair to say they did all they could.

115k

I wonder what impact Xbox One + Kinect + Titanfall for $449 has on sales for the system alone at $399. It isn't actually a better deal, it just alleviates the sticker shock. I'm still surprised anyone launched higher than $399 this time around after what the PS3 went through.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Makes you wonder, if the Wii U and Bone completely fall off the cliff, we may actually have the one console future for the next couple of years. lol

 

[Abelian75]

Umm.........

This is for April.

That announcement was made in the middle of May.

I think he's saying that the Kinectless SKU could be assumed to be a response to low sales, so it was reasonable to expect poor XBO sales in the month of April (otherwise they wouldn't have felt like they needed to make a drastic change).

 

[sflufan]

It's better than the rumored sub-100k number that was going around, but not by much.

Of course not, how silly of anyone to think that!

...that number will be in the May report!

 

[RurouniZel]

Legos.

Legos everywhere.

 

[Dante316]

Ian sherr posted this on twitter @bill_at_zeboyd But, if you took Next-gen only, @playstation says "inFAMOUS Second Son was the top selling next gen software title in April"

 

[RedAssedApe]

so neither titanfall or infamous were system sellers?

welp...let's see how watch dogs does

 

[The Llama]

Just to give a better perspective

March (5 weeks) - 311,000 units sold -->62,200 units per week
April (4 weeks) - 115,000 units sold -->28,750 units per week

And I wonder what May will be, with people waiting for the Kinectless version. 15-20k units a week, maybe? Damn...
