Thanks to the support from fans and the overwhelming popularity of the limited-edition Destiny PS4 bundle, PlayStation 4 won the month of September, nearly tripling August sales.
PlayStation led the month for next generation software, including selling the most copies of Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, and FIFA 15, making PS4 the best place to play sports games.
In addition, this afternoon we announced that September 2014 marked the biggest month ever for PlayStation Store revenue in the Americas, led by the launch of Destiny from Activision and Bungie.
Merged our threads etho lol
I didn't see you thread and I was going off when Geoff twitted... I can't hold myself.
I will try to follow the thread on phone.
PS4 sold the most in North America for the ninth consecutive month! We are allowing all our PSN engineers go home early to celebrate!

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS launched on Oct. 3 in the U.S., and even with only two days of data included in NPD's September report, the game still managed to finish as the No. 4 best-selling software SKU for the month with more than 705,000 total units sold. Of that total, more than 135,000 units were sold digitally through the Nintendo eShop. The game's biggest impact however may be on hardware sales. More than 140,000 units of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems were sold in September, an increase of 55 percent over sales in August.
Sales of Wii U hardware also saw double-digit increases in September, increasing by nearly 50 percent over sales in August. These gains were driven in particular by two software titles: Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart 8. Hyrule Warriors launched on Sept. 26 and has already sold more than 190,000 combined units in the U.S. alone. Mario Kart 8 sold nearly 60,000 combined units in its fifth month on the market, bringing its lifetime total in the U.S. to nearly 1.2 million total units.
A great lineup of games for Wii U begins on Oct. 26 with Bayonetta 2, the Wii U exclusive that currently holds a 91 score on Metacritic. That continues with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on Nov. 21 and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Dec. 5. Also launching on Nov. 21 is amiibo, Nintendo's foray into the toys-to-life category. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to launch with amiibo integration. Other games that will support amiibo include Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi's Woolly World, with more to come. More details about compatibility and functionality of amiibo may be found at http://amiibo.com.
The Nintendo 3DS library will soon be bolstered by two of the most anticipated games of 2014: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire (Nov. 21).
*Data regarding physical sales of games in September are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo's internal sales figures. All numbers, unless otherwise stated, are specific to the United States only.

I edited my post.
Xevross has mislead us all!!!!!!!!!
and we won't get them. Nothing good to say. Remember when sony stopped pretty after npdand how terrible of a sign it was.
Destiny biggest launch month for a new IP ever!
Nothing from MS yet
Major nelson in spinning in circles in his office chair trying to figure out how he'll spin this one.
lol. It's going to be hard to explain why all the madden money was wasted. Hopefully this is the start of the end for MS money baggin.
they have almost spent 3billion alone on Minecraft and NFL deal. They have obviously spent a decent amount on DR3, Ryse, GeoW, Tr:r, Ac and Madden... I can't see investors being too enthused with more money spent until they show they can recoup some they already spent
Or is it just the beginning?
SO?
Hyrule warriors was #11 and sold 190k (including digital). SO, FH2 on XB1+X30 sold less than 190k. Ouch

Yes. Sunset overdrivr did less than 190k. ;)
omg ms pr statement ..
"We believe this will be one of our biggest holiday seasons ever. We're offering great Xbox One bundles aligned with the most anticipated game launches of the year, including 'Assassin's Creed Unity,' 'Sunset Overdrive' and 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,' and incredible deals for fans. Combined with blockbusters like 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection,' 'Grand Theft Auto 5,' 'Destiny' and 'Forza Horizon 2,' we are committed to making Xbox One a great place to play this holiday."
but destiny didn't.
So it was really bad? Also didn't mention Destiny sold best on Xbox One.
but destiny didn't.
It did as far as npd cares. Usually they'd spin that.
NPD isn't counting the bundle that cost more? It's not like sony gave the game away for free.

I'm surprised MS sold the most Xbox consoles.
Here I thought Sony would've sold more Xbox consoles.
That's the joke.
VGCHERTZ numbers before adjustments.
PS4: 406k
XBO: 247k
Wii U: 83k
So PlayStation must have made over half the sales pretty easily even.
In fact.
PS4> Wii U + 3DS + Vita + XBO
I'd guess.
PS3 + Vita > X360
Lol, dark feanor was saying xb1 doubled august sales
aqua leaked Xbox One.. 284k

Microsoft has burned through enough money that the game division will never make it back.
Never is a long time. Who can even imagine the industry 20 years from now?
I wouldn't predict them to make it back since I see Xbox One being potentially their last gen, but if they do stick around breaking even seems possible long term.
20 years?
Who can imagine 10 years from now? 5 even.
5 is easier, but still... who knows?
Exactly.
Knew you'd agree. Just further emphasizing your point.
Looks like the chertz broke aquamarine.
I heard.
I would still like a link!!
they still haven't made the OG box losses back.
