5m shipped as of end 2015.

US retail ~1.7m
+ WW retail
+ Digital

You will have maybe something over 3m with 5m shipped.

MS clearly overshipped because I can buy Halo 5 Limited Edition today in any retail.
It's pretty funny how Goatseye jumped the gun on Chartz before double checking on what the 5 million figure actually represented.

Crazy PS4 numbers considering how well the competition did.

Hi guys, I have some sales data for you that I'll share with you. But here's the thing....if you're going to share it anywhere (like the OP, on Twitter, on NeoGAF) please mention that it came from Aquamarine. It depresses me when people just take the data and repost it without giving me any credit. I have a very busy schedule and life and I'm not going to bother to share data if all sharing data does is depress me. I get flashbacks to how horribly I was treated by NeoGAF moderation and...it's tough.

This data, as always, is courtesy of The NPD Group, and my contact and friend at The NPD Group (no, not the fudgy CEO) who is so gracious to allow me to continue to share data even though he was treated like shame on NeoGAF by the moderators.

First up, console hardware numbers. These hardware numbers are sanctioned for release by my contact:

PS4 Hardware:
February 2016 NPD: 404,900
March 2016 NPD: 330,100 (+0.1% from last March)
April 2016 NPD: 174,800 (+0.1% from last April)
May 2016 NPD: 207,300 (+35.8% from last May)
 
XBO Hardware:
February 2016 NPD: 248,200
March 2016 NPD: 241,500 (+5.5% from last March)
April 2016 NPD: 167,600 (-10.3% from last April)
May 2016 NPD: 107,100 (-23.3% from last May)
 
WIU Hardware:
February 2016 NPD: 69,400
March 2016 NPD: 66,200 (-19.8% from last March)

Thanks Aqua!

That's a pretty large gap between the PS4 and XB1. IIRC, isn't this the XB1's 2nd worst NPD month? I don't think it performed this badly since May 2014 and the reason why it didn't sell that well back then was because Microsoft was going to release the Kinect-less SKU in June 2014.

Lovely Aqua.

PS4 increase over last year is really great.

The others are just doommmmm.

Edit - What give PS3 that insane boost???

Sorry, im on mobile. That should have been a question, not a statment.

That's so great Aqua thank you.  ;D


Really interesting to me how poor/average the year has been for hardware. PS4 seems like the only system up ytd yet it's not by a lot.

Fixed a slight error with Take 2's 2015 data, it should be +0.4% from last May, not -20.1%...that's EA's data.

I think the worst thing about xb1 sales is that momentum isn't strong.

It's actually done great compared to 360 yet the only thing we can think about is 360 eventually overtaking it.

This comparison is yet using pre-Kinect 360 sales... 360 had a BOOM in sales after Kinect launch in 2010.
