The New Nintendo 3DS XL system continues to inject growth into Nintendo's hand-held business, and the momentum created for Wii U in 2014 has carried over into 2015. Take these two elements, add in fun, exclusive titles starring some of the biggest names in gaming, and overall sales of Nintendo hardware systems so far in 2015 have increased by nearly 60 percent over sales during the same time frame in 2014.
Other Nintendo sales highlights include:
Nintendo 3DS
Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by nearly 80 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D added more than 184,000 total units in its second month, bringing lifetime sales to more than 730,000 total units.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS added more than 110,000 total units in its sixth month on the market, bringing its lifetime total to 2.4 million units.
Wii U
Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by more than 20 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.
Mario Party 10 launched on March 20 and sold nearly 290,000 total units in its first two weeks.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mario Kart 8 continue to sell well in their respective fifth and 11th months on the market, bringing their lifetime totals to nearly 1.6 million total units and more than 1.9 million total units, respectively.
"We are truly honored PlayStation 4 is the top-selling console and No. 1 in software sales again according to NPD sales data for March 2015," a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment told GamesBeat in a statement. "PS4 remains the cumulative sales leader both globally and in the United States and we want to thank gamers worldwide for their ongoing support."

babies use the right thread for predictions :P
MS.Spoiler for Image:
PS4 won again.
Xb1 march this year < XB1 march Last year. since they didnt use their "record march for xb1" line

Indeed. Plus, since they said up on 360 cumulatively, probably 360 2nd March>X1 second march .... I'll see if I can find that
Microsoft's second March wasn't that bad, the PS3 had given the 360 a nice boost.

EDIT: found it, 360 did 199k in its second March, less than that would be a disaster
Xb1<276k seems very likely
Xb1<199k could be a thing but unlikely
where did you get the 276k assumption from?
It has been horrible on Amazon.
I still doubt it was below 199k, but maybe?
Lower than last month
why do we assume its lower than last month?
If it was below 199k then your algorithm may well be pretty amazing ;D
Since they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for stats I just presume they'd have said it was up on last month if it was
maybe. guess we will have to wait and see. when is Sony gonna give their PR... geez.
Dooooooooooom.
Sounds wrong.

So I think it's fair to assume that tens of thousands of people rushed out to buy MP 10 to get that Golden Amiibo...jesus christ Nintendo fans get a grip. :/
If I were Nintendo I'd jusz start bundling the shittiest games with some special edition Amiibo, seems to be working wonders.
They should bundle Wii Us with Amiibos hahahha

The big drag on revenue was definitely new hardware sales, which were down 21 percent from $393.4 million in March 2014 to just $311.1 million this year.
So what were last years numbers? I'd imagine MS having Titanfall last year and essentially having nothing this year, should mean at least X1 numbers might be significantly lower than last march.
I'm sorry but I just have to share this chertz post, this is just too funny :D

Is this 360 2006 + PS3 2007? Cause if so, XB1+PS4 = > 684k
I predicted 106k
Not even 5 weeks could help it :(
Interesting...
684 - 275 = 409k
Fits my prediction perfectly.
Bloodborne > 272k (TLOUR)
Unit sales only decreased by 9 percent.
well its higher than mp10 so we know it did 290k+
dang I shouldn't have increased my original WiiU prediction
WiiU is 83k
FF seems terribly overtracked on chartz
Software
Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC)
Bloodborne (PS4)
Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)
Mario Party 10 (Wii U) (sold 290,000 copies physical and digital, according to Nintendo)

Global. Not us right?
more since vita tv
Not sure the full trend, but wasn't the Vita sitting at 20k a month in the U.S?
more since vita tv
like 15 to 30k usually
Wasn't it selling 6k without Vita TV? I seriously don't remember O_O
Wii U was doing 30 though.
No? It's been 50-100 right?
Nea Christmas. Remember sales are "up" and its only at 60k. Which means its been below that for the most part.

Yeah, let's see.
XB1 price then: $500
XB1 price now: $349 with games
PS4 price then: $400
PS4 price now: $400
And yet, PS4 is down by even less than XB1. I call that amazing
I don't really understand his post. Ethomaz says he expects XB1 to be down yoy, which is a reasonable prediction when it's down already without the price cut effect in the 2014 numbers
Nah, doooom.

His comment is baseless too because when I wrote the that comment we just know the MS PR (that hinted to a worst March than last year)... no PS4 number or Sony PR yet... and I predicted Xbox One to track down in US after March.
To be fair I don't expect 2015 to be bigger than 2014 for Xbox One... I don't expect this year to have a $150 price cut in the whole year... and the Holidays sales won't be strong like 2014.
My expectations are in line to see Xbox One down yoy and PS4 down yoy unless Sony give us a price cut in August/September.
You telling me that xbox one be down yoy with friken Halo 5?!
You telling me that xbox one be down yoy with friken Halo 5?!
uh, yeah? Unless MS goes all in again and cuts price massively and bundles Halo 5 with another game and the console.

Not unless they also cut price or do crazy deals. Halo is not a game that pushes the console for many weeks. It's more like a 2-3 week bump
I think you guys are underestimating Halo 5's potential.
If it's well received and makes up for all the failings of MCC and 4, then XBO could easily be up YOY

Wat. Halo hasn't been bigger than CoD for years. If Sony really grabbed CoD marketing (which I do doubt) I'd say Xb1 has almost no chance of being up
Maybe in Europe that was the case with the 360, but here Halo is bigger than COD.
Plus MCC was an extreme disappointment. For most fans, this is the first Halo on next generation.

Yeah CoD is bigger
Halo -7
CoD - 8-9 just on Xbox.
lol, weird comparison. CoD is much bigger now than it was back then and Halo smaller and has lost bungie
Halo 3 - 8ish
Modern Warfare(same year) - 6ish

install base hardly matters with Halo. See Halo 3 to 4 decline
360 has a much bigger install base now. Comparing recent CODs to Halo 3 wouldn't be that fair would it?
Also most people don't even know Bungie left.

Cause Halo 4 sucked.
Also I updated my sig, since we all know it's true.
you forgot to mention that sony was still selling ps4s as fast as they could ship them in march. Being down from a situation like that isn't bad. However, MS being down when they had trouble selling their system even with one of the biggest games of the year on their platform... Not so good
