It had a whole month. You guys are crazy thinking it sold 500k or 600k. It sold more than the Wii in its first week. And it had a whole month.

Honestly if it's sub 1 million then it's a huge flop in my book. PS4 sold 1 million in one day. This thing had a full month

Nintendo didn't have stock for 1 million in US... they probably shipped 2m this fiscal year WW.

I said 800k actually.

Nintendo had 2 million to ship WW for the fiscal year. Unless they sent a massive proportion of that stock to the US, they didn't sell 1 million. I thought I was being optimistic tbh

Well i lumped you guys together so i wasn't talking about you specifically.

2 million just seems too low. And considering Nintendo's presence isn't Europe is that strong in a lot of countries, they should have shipped more to the USA.

Post by: ethomaz on Apr 13, 2017, 09:43 PM

That can be true but I have my doubts due some shipment evidences...

Japan W0: 400k shipped
Japan W1: 50k shipped
Japan W2: 50k shipped
Japan W3: 50k shipped
Japan W4: 50k shipped

That in line for a 600k shipment in March for Japan alone... that means the actual Nintendo shipment is pretty low and possible less than 200k WW per week based in theses 50k.

That said that is the actual shipment WW for Switch in my view:

W0: 1200k
W1: 200k
W2: 200k
W3: 200k
W4: 200k

Even if the numbers are not exactly that... I don't believe my estimate is off by 50k in any week... 2m is pretty safe right now and I believe even 2.5m is possible but more than that it is really hard.

With the actual stock situation in US I believe they shipped less than 800k for there this fiscal year.

i dont see how sub 1 million is good. if its launch week, sure, but for an entire month? if its around the 500k mark then i really dont see how thats good.

MS couldnt even stick to march. they had to use the full quarter, even when it came to their meaningless MAU metric. their PR are really hitting the bottom of the barrel.

Even the 28m for XB1 is just speculation based on Chartz.

Nintendo Switch, the new home gaming system that people can also take on the go, has sold faster in its launch month than any other video game system in Nintendo history. The Nintendo Switch system sold more than 906,000 units in March, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. That makes Nintendo Switch one of the fastest-selling video game systems of all time. Notably, this sales surge was accomplished in a nontraditional month for a console launch.

The Nintendo Switch system sold more than 906,000 units in March, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game sold over 1.3 million units*. That total includes more than 925,000 units sold for Nintendo Switch and nearly 460,000 units sold for the Wii U console.

Yeah and considering it's pretty much been sold out since week 1.  I really hope it does well going forward as well so it can get better support.

Really fantastic.  
-Holding up well on Amazon.
-Still selling out
-pretty much sold what it shipped

I expect it to come ahead of the Wii U pretty quick, maybe in the first year.  


Over 100% attachment rate for Zelda.  

Good games pay off, eh Nintendo.

Also, Switch outsold the Wii U's launch holiday.

That has to be a record. Cool how pre-release we were speculating this was happening based off Amazon sales. Shocked it kept up for the whole month though.

They clarified the over 100% attach rate after being asked about a typo.

Quote
That means that Nintendo sold more of this game for Nintendo Switch than it sold Nintendo Switch systems, for an attach rate of more than 100 percent. This may be attributed to people who purchased both a limited edition of the game to collect and a second version to play.

The notes is wrong... the best selling Gerrilha game is Killzone 2 at 324k I guess.

So more than double put Horizon at > 648k without digital.

And Wildlands is above that? Both physically and digitally (remember it charted above Horizon in the top downloads of the month in the US as well)?

How much did that freaking game sell?

Also I don't really understand this, does the NPD group get digital data from Sony but isn't allowed to put it in their reports?

Well Zelda alone is over 1m without digital (it was 900k retail on SW vs 925k digital... so add WiiU retail).

I don't think Harker rely only on NPD... he shared DD from Sony titles before... or many he atrapalhares digital based ok retail data.

Ubisofts marketing team are simply legendary. Watch dogs, the division and ghost recon are smash hits. For Honor did really well too.

It's a great game for the mass market.

After seeing it's performance in the UK I'm not surprised by it's strong showing in the US.

Horizon is about what I expected considering the global sales

Great month overall, hopefully Switch can keep up it's momentum

im glad For Honor did so well. over 1.3 million in the US alone in two months is fantastic for a new IP. hopefully this game can reach at least 3 million sales world wide at the very least. i put over 60 hours into it already, and loving it. i hope its successful enough to warrant a sequel.

It feels so much like the first Titanfall.

So much potential that could really be delivered with a sequel.

honestly its a great game. the issue is Ubisoft them selfs. their servers suck, even though i been warned. and they are rather slow with the updates. they are improving though. i do have some issues with balancing and wish some quirks would be ironed out. but over all its a great game. i have yet to play the single player. but over all, it doesnt seem like an unfinished game or bare bones. it has enough content and depth to justify it. so i disagree with the titanfall analogy. they are going to add 6 more characters, at least 1 more mode from what i understand, and new maps as time goes by. with those all there the game will be bursting with content. and the new content is all free. and with the new updates they made to obtaining the in game currency, unlocking those new content shouldnt be really much of a problem.

THe sp is super bare bones. It's just mp maps with cutscenes. That's what I was meaning with TF.

 Was Switch HW opening month bigger than XBO one as implied or is it an error?

 
No it is not an error. Currently Switch is the No. 2 debut platform since our records (1995) beating the XBO.
 
XB1 NPD November launch numbers < 906k.

Looks like NPD did adjustments to the numbers.

GAF prediction results out.

1. Zedark
[NSW] 950k
[PS4] 360k
[XB1] 200k

2. Gaspard
[NSW] 910K
[PS4] 300K
[XB1] 190K

3. BeforeU
[NSW] 1M
[PS4] 340K
[XB1] 230K

4. Opt1kon_
[NSW] 798K
[PS4] 396K
[XB1] 186K

To Zedark be first his PS4/XB1 numbers needs to be better than Gaspard number by at least 40k... so PS4 is probably close to 360k and XB1 to 200k.

The first guy in Prediction is estimating... he checked others prediction that are of course below the TOP4.

PS4 ~390k
XB1 > 225k

 Edit: nvm, we can't for certain yet. I made a slight logic error, which makes discerning the numbers no longer approximately possible. My reasoning went that numbers 3 and 4 are very close together (it can be shown from labaronx' numbers that it is less than 15k), and that their Switch predictions are wrong by roughly (within 12k) the same amount, so from there we might be able to work something out. My error was that I wanted to take the average between the XB1 and PS4 entries to get the NPD approximate results, but that doesn't work in practice. Also, PS4 is at the very least 330k, and XB1 is 200k+, otherwise I would have lost to Gaspard.  Seeing as Gaspard is at least 10k ahead of number 3 and 4, and 15k ahead of labaronx, 3 and 4 must be almost the same, and furthermore PS4 > 335k and XB1 > 225k. This means that XB1 skews towards 3 by at least 39k and at most 44k. Taking the lower difference, PS4 must be around 39k closer to 4, so PS4 ~ 388k would apply. For The 44k case, PS4 ~ 390k. This is of course not taking into account the 12k Switch differences between 3 and 4, which changes things a bit. Labaronx' numbers:

 
I checked these numbers against the other predictions, and PS4 ~ 390k and XB1 > 225k follows logically and doesn't contradict the ranking (i.e., no one overtakes me with these results, for any arbitrary XB1 numbers above 225k). This is the best I can do atm.

That seems like a good estimate to me. So PS4>345k and XB1>225k is what we can say for sure, while PS4 is likely around 390k. Nice.

So for the first three months in the USA. How much are the estimates?
PS4: 210k + (> 395k) + (~390k) = ~995k
XB1: 160k + (< 240k) + (>225k) = ~625k
SW: 906k

Estimate not that accurate because the < and > can change a bit the numbers.

I did a better post in GAF.

Using these estimates for 2017...

PS4 > 995k (Up > 22% YoY) *
SW ~906k
XB1 ~625k (Up ~20% YoY) **

* PS4 can be only > because Feb and Mar are estimates with >.
** XB1 is around because estimate in Feb was < and Mar >.
