NPD Sales Results for February 2014 [Up2: PS4/XB1/Wii U/360 Hardware, BD/Poke/DK]

Amazon has another batch of ps4s in now too.
But software was down 11%.
Yup. 82k in a month is unprecedented! It'll hit 50 million LTD at this rate.
Minecraft had a retail (disc) release on 360. That hasn't happened on PS3 yet.

Impressive boost by XB1.
March will come down to whether or not the PS4 is really being bottle necked by supply.

If those numbers are true, I'm thinking this generation is going to be OKAY. Still early, but if both systems can sell a few hundred thousand in a short month with no noteworthy releases at $400/$500* (*or near, in the case of XB1 considering all the retailer promos) then I think there's plenty of life in the old console gaming hobby.
March should be a good month. I suspect the XB1 will outsell the PS4 unless Sony really ramps up PS4's availability. And even then, it's hard to know the impact of Titanfall.

MS will likely win March by a slight margin then go back down after. Shouldn't surprise anyone.

Sony f'd up by not having supply. I was at costco the other day and saw stacks of x1s. No ps4s. People probably don't know it exists.

Titanfall came out 11 days into March.
When did the pre-orders for the TF bundle start? If anything TF probably cut into their February sales.

Unlimited Capacity
Which came out 2 days on March 11th. March.
I think someone in the prediction thread said Feb 24

A lot more probably.

Titanfall Beta gave them a boost. I guess the two weeks in march before the 360 version is released will be big for Microsoft
Edit: if Infamouse reviews well that will give the PS4 a boost as well

wow xbox one, that's 100k less then I thought it would be.
xb1 then is probably around 3.7-.3.8 million consoles sold.
Possible 4 million if titanfall moved a lot of hardware the last week.

Don't know why people are so sure that Bone will take March. With Japanese launch out of the way Sony can again supply more units to west. Combine that with first big exclusive game since launch and PS4 will have very good numbers this month.

Apart from Wii U, isn't it a good thing the new two have done well ?

Gonna need Danganronpa numbers when creamsugar gets here.
So, is this the first news that the PS4 has officially outsold the Wii U?

I'm interested in next months hardware sales. Will be interesting to see what kind of boost Titanfall and inFamous do for their respective consoles.

I have a feeling that he and Liam Callahan are going to have a conversation. Journalists revealing subscriber data probably won't be taken lightly.

Basically everything jumped up, except the PS4 (which was heavely supply constrained).
March is gonna be epic. XBO is going to do good, but the PS4 is in total beast mode. Imo it's all in Sony hands, if they are able to ship enough units they will win.

EA says its a slow down on the prior generation sales.
Fuck that, expect PS2 numbers at this rate.
No, it happened quite a while ago.

Shit weather in a lot of the country + no tax returns, but yeah I think these numbers are way higher than most expected.
There were promos all month of February. You could find places giving out a free game plus Target had a weekly promo where they gave out a 50 dollar gift card with purchase. Plus there was the TitanFall beta which did get people to buy systems. Tax return money needed to be spent.
It is good that XB1 had an upswing, and as I thought it didn't come at the expense of the PS4. Better to have two consoles selling well than one.

Wow, really healthy numbers all around (except Nintendo). Everything must have got hit hard last month by scalping returns for this kind of February bump.
No mention of 3DS #s in Nintendo PR probably means it's down YoY again. They need to start thinking about a new model or successor.

So you are telling me that no one last month bought an Xbox One because of Titanfall coming out in a few weeks?
Okay.

no. the whole ps4 surpass 6 million thread was when it was official.

Still don't. Sony will heavily restock for march, no Japan launch to deal with and no Chinese New Year slowing production.
