Yeah, 3DS second.
So, Wii U and One battle for the third and fourth place or what?

 

[RPGamer92]

Very impressive for Mario Kart 8 considering it's only one one system and came out on the last day of May.

 

[danwarb]

Titanfall 360 ahead of XBO? Jeezz.

It's a month older on X1.

 

[Jburton]

Larger userbase (as well as advertising) = more sales.

Wolfenstein had no specific advertising.

 

[RE_Player]

I bet Wii U outsold Xbox One.

 

[illmatic22]

Wii U can't get to 2

 

[SDCowboy]

Did the Xbone completely fall off a cliff for May?

 

[Bgamer90]

Wolfenstein had no specific advertising.

I was mainly referring to Watch_Dogs.

 

[AdanVC]

Mario Kart made #2 with only 2 days of sales. Holy shit.

Freaking impressive! June NPD numbers for MK8 are going to be insaaane! Hope it can also increase Wii U sales!

 

[Takao]

Well I hoped that the new Vita model + BL2 would make it chart :/

Bundle says aren't even counted in the NPD top ten.

 

[Jomjom]

Woah, the show at #3?!?!?

Bahaha, did not expect that.

That's what happens when PS4 has no games. =D

 

[mrhej]

Wow that's impressive for Mario Kart considering it was out for 1 day in May in the U.S.

 

[QuantumBro]

Minecraft was co-published by Microsoft and Sony

megaton

They published the retail version for their respective systems.

Maybe he's making a joke about how hard it died.

Nope, just screwed up release dates.

 

[FZZ]

Is that month over month or year over year?

90% YoY in terms of total sales for 2014 from 2013

So from January to May its up 90% compared to 2013's January to May

 

[Kacho]

PS4 outselling the XB1 in every multiplat release, damn.

Not really surprising

 

[J3ffro]

Kinda impressed with MK8 considering the install base.

Hoping MK8 rejuvenates the Wii U, with that showing it may be doing so.

 

[LegendofLex]

Pretty decent.

Last year:
Consoles = 268K
Handhelds = 169K
Total: 437K

(Note: ±5K)

95% increase refers to dollars, not units.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Curious if the show sold really well or Wolfenstein sold really poorly

Also 3DS as #2 is somewhat surprising

 

[careksims]

Damn! Congrats to Nintendo for Mario Kart 8 at 2nd. Nintendo just needs to keep outputting these games of such quality and fun on a regular basis.

 

[SuperDowns]

Get em Nintendo!

 

[small44]

What are people are expecting for a late port on a small install base it's not a surprise to don't find Borderlands on the chart

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

How are hardware sales up by 95% with the decline of ps360.

How much did the Ps4 do 0_0

 

[maquiladora]

Collectively, May 2014 launches sold 800 percent more in dollar sales than May 2013 launches did their respective launch months

[mrklaw]

Wonder why Nintendo pointed out 3DS at #2 and nothing about WiiU? If it was #3 you think they'd shout it from the rooftops..

 

[Bgamer90]

Did the Xbone completely fall off a cliff for May?

All signs are pointing to the early $400 SKU announcement hurting it... Especially since the 3DS did better.

Wonder why Nintendo pointed out 3DS at #2 and nothing about WiiU? If it was #3 you think they'd shout it from the rooftops..

Exactly so I'm assuming that the Xbox One did better than the Wii U.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

nice to see a WiiU exclusive title do so well

dat Kirby

 

[SephiZack]

Right next to Murdered: Soul Suspect.

It released in June. I expect it to at least make it into the chart in June NPD

EDIT: very late

 

[Exterminieren]

Wow that's impressive for Mario Kart considering it was out for 1 day in May in the U.S.

Not all of the software sales were counted, either- any copy of Mario Kart sold in the Wii U bundle isn't accounted for by this list.

 

[Corto]

Confirmed PC Gaming is Dead?

Retail? Pretty much. Digital is thriving though.

 

[SykoTech]

PS4 outselling the XB1 in every multiplat release, damn.

Huh, you're right. Even COD.

Times be changing.

 

[Cess007]

I totally didn't know NPD numbers were out today. That's what the WC do to myself. Hope we can get HW numbers soon

 

[borghe]

So if Wii u sales were up over 85% that means at least 88K for May.

 

[Loris146]

How are hardware sales up by 95% with the decline of ps360.

How much did the Ps4 do 0_0

I suppose is about revenue (dollars)...

 

[manual4]

titanfall is still in the top 10

 

[Mpl90]

How are hardware sales up by 95% with the decline of ps360.

How much did the Ps4 do 0_0

That's Dollars, not mere sales. The two new consoles being 399 and 499 sort-of-help in this

 

[Vilam]

Awesome, I'm very happy for Wolfenstein!

 

[Liha]

Reggie is happy

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Impressed with Mario Kart 8 and MLB The Show!

 

[Compbros]

How are hardware sales up by 95% with the decline of ps360.

How much did the Ps4 do 0_0

Especially since many people think XB1 will be down thanks to the kinectless announcement. PS4/3DS must've done very well.



Edit:

Ah, that makes sense.

 

[jvm]

Wii U hardware sales were up more than 85% in May specifically, with only two days of Mario Kart being on the market for the survey. #NPD

I have Wii U for May 2013 at 33K. So that puts May 2014 at more than 61K?

 

[Acquiescence]

How are hardware sales up by 95% with the decline of ps360.

How much did the Ps4 do 0_0

I'm sure that heavy Watch Dogs association paid dividends.

 

[sinxtanx]

Mario Kart made #2 with only 2 days of sales. Holy shit.

that's...pretty good

 

[Asd202]

titanfall is still in the top 10

360>Xbone though.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Shouldn't MS PR be out by now?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Ahh thank you, that makes sense

 

[Crocodile]

Today is Monday, not Thursday. Why are NPD results showing up today?

 

[Coolwhip]

Wii U has a pulse :O

 

[Elija2]

Didn't Mario Kart 8 sell 1.2 million over the launch weekend? Is that all it took to reach the number 2 spot for the entire month of May?

Not really surprising considering Metro, Grid, and Fuse were the only big new releases that month last year.
