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.

Indeed. Plus, since they said up on 360 cumulatively, probably 360 2nd March>X1 second march .... I'll see if I can find that

EDIT: found it, 360 did 199k in its second March, less than that would be a disaster

Microsoft's second March wasn't that bad, the PS3 had given the 360 a nice boost.

Title: Re: March NPD Thread!! XBO has its worst March ever
Post by: ethomaz on Apr 16, 2015, 10:43 PM
It is not units... it is revenue.

Quote
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.


I beat it is due the Xbox One price.
Title: Re: March NPD Thread!! XBO has its worst March ever
Post by: DerNebel on Apr 16, 2015, 10:44 PM
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.

Edit: Oh it's hardware revenue, well then it's even more obvious that this is due to the X1, last year it was $500 and probably sold way more than this year at $350.

Not unit... revenue and that is due Xbox One price cut... 349 vs 500.

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.

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

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.

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

Except Modern Warfare was a sequel to a practically dead IP.  They were lucky that Modern Warefare was popular as it was, or else there'd be no Call of Duty still.  But it was still a sequel to a mediocre franchise vs a sequel to a well selling/established franchise.  Comparison isn't really fair....

Halo 4 - 6.5
CoD - 8
Of the same year. 
Halo 4 had the bigger platform, over 3.  Wouldn't be as affected by reception as you think.  Because usually its the game after that mostly gets affected unless reviews are really bad. 
Plus Halo 3 has been out for years which is a bonus.

From a critic point of view, Halo 4 was very positive.  So user reception will be based more on their experience.  In order to experience it they'd need to buy and play it. 
Friends might dissuade them from a game, but I expect this to be minor. 
If Halo 4 is as bad as you say it is, Halo 5 isn't going to do as well as it could particularly after MCC and its troubles.

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
