Really, guys? More than 2:1? That's kind of unbelievable
To be fair I based mine of off bad math... was thinking globally but put 2 instead of 4 more likely closer to 220k units for ps4
just the fact that they are dropping kinect and making it $399 is telling that it did really really bad. So no I don't think it's unbelievable at all.
Although I am lowballing xbox 1 a bit. It will likely be a a difference of 100k I think.
just the fact that they are dropping kinect and making it $399 is telling that it did really really bad. So no I don't think it's unbelievable at all.
Wouldn't 150k be bad, for example?
From GAF... first April NPD.
PS2 - 326K
XBOX - 77K
GC - 82K
360 - 295K
PS3 - 82K
WII - 360K
WII U - 37K
PS. It is not new that 360 is crushing Xbox One after the first two months... it is possible to 360 be ahead lifetime before October.
Wouldn't 150k be bad, for example?
Yeah it's not great, but I'm expecting worse to be honest.

May will be worst... most guys that want to buy Xbox One will wait June.

PS4 was 271k while XB1 was 141k. This is gonna be good :)
I have a feeling VGC is going to look like an even bigger joke than before. Tracking the X1 ahead almost the whole time and even after adjustments still making it seem like it was close.

I love how ioi defended himself in the past by saying something along the lines of "being off by small margins is to be expected". Yeah. Being off by 50 to 100k for both consoles consistently when we're talking a few hundred thousand is NOT a small margin. Claiming that they're neck and neck when an actual research firm says it was pretty much a blow out is not "off by a small margin".

His problem is that he bases his numbers on past history. He seems to think Xbox should be strong now since it was strong last gen in the US.
PS4 on top.
TF 360 > TF Xbox One
VGCHARTZ has 218k for Xbox One.
212k for PS4.
Seems off...
His problem is that he bases his numbers on past history. He seems to think Xbox should be strong now since it was strong last gen in the US.
Which goes to show how out of touch he is with current happenings. The Xbox One is behind everywhere. Every available chart. Every comment by someone who would know. The CURRENT trend of sales. He doesn't pay attention to any of it for his weekly numbers. He is intentionally misleading. There is no way around that. Of course we're talking about an Xbox fanboy who was booted from NeoGAF for spreading false sales numbers to make it seem like the 360 was in no danger of being overtaken by the PS3.

Holy shitsnacks, that is worse than pretty much everyone thought.
It is a shame that forum sales numbers... overtracked by 150k?
It is less than 30k per week and not more than 50k like the site shows... ridiculous.
VGC overtracked by 102k
It is a share that forum sales numbers... overtracked by 150k?
102k.
While, 360 is only about 3k off.
PS4 close to 2:1 again.
VGC overtracked by 102k
Yep. VGC overtracked the X1 by over 100k. It did less than 29,000 in the US per week on average.

So they adjusted the numbers after my ban.
Looks like One software sales are also way off. Slightly less than 450k games in April. Seems to me that VGChartz has something like 600-800k (didn't count).
So they adjusted the numbers after my ban.
They do tend to do that.
Guess we have to wait a bit for more pr statements.
Seems that WW PS4 could have outsold XB1 by 2.5:1 or more, a lot more than VGC thought. (if the 2:1 in USA is true).

EDIT: Actually probably less than 50k WW. That is horrible.
Yeah you can rest assured that if the US sales are off by that much then the numbers elsewhere are probably off as well. Being down to 115k in April isn't the worst. The PS3 did only 80k in the US for April and then again in May. I'm pretty sure the Wii U did even less than that. The problem here though is that the PS3 had numbers that low because of the negative image of its $600 pricetag for the premium package and it really did have crud for games at that time with no good deals to spur sales. I'm guessing the Xbox One managed to avoid going sub-100k thanks to retailer price drops, Titanfall, and the Titanfall bundle. Some of those deals were still going well into April. Though even worse is the fact that the X1 has no other refuge. North America is all it has.
So...infamous sold more than Titanfall XB1. Lol.
According to Dodd, Kinect Sports Rivals tanked hard.

Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.
Posted on NeoGAF. The 360 never sold so low in April prior to the X1 launching. 295k for the 360's first April versus 115k for the X1.
Yeah and May is going to be way worse. Anyone know if it's a 4 or 5 week month?
Yeah people are pointing out that the combined skus are very deceiving and that Titanfall only managed its position thanks to 360 sales.

Drop the price to $150, cut the price of memory cards in half, create official $500 PS4 bundles that come with a Vita, contract studios that know how to make good handheld games, market the shame out of it, and then still watch it die. The Vita is dead here. If Sony even brings the dang thing up for any decent length of time (more than 5 minutes) at their press conference it'll piss me off. If Sony does another portable platform they need to take notes from the 3DS. Don't launch at a stupid price and if you do then drop it quickly. Create games far more friendly to portable gaming. Have more games made that take advantage of the features. Don't charge people a ridiculous amount to be able to store games. Market the dang thing.

Wtf is happening though? The US market is just doing terrible. So is the Japanese. We need some new and big franchises to revitalize the market. Companies need to stop being stupid by making games exclusive to one or a few consoles who are not even the market leaders.

Well, the handheld market is losing to smartphones and tablets which are more functional and prevalent. Not to mention just as good for second screen devices. The old consoles are just that. Old. These are devices that have been around for 7 or 8 years. This isn't an unusual time for them to die. We just never noticed before because the new generation was typically present for 2 or more years before the old gen collapsed. Console transitionary periods also play hell with game sales because they're split between tons of platforms and some people choose to wait until they upgrade to buy them.
Well it's almost 10 times Vita...lol.

I don't think people truly realize what "mobile" has done to gaming. Gaming, as we know it, has always survived off of children. Shovelware, parents buying things they don't understand for their children, etc. All those people are buying tablets instead now. All those people are why the PS2 and DS sold 150 million units.

They're the same people who invested in the Wii. In fact, the very crowd you're referring to was almost entirely responsible for that console's success. It was marketed to the right people at the right time. Nintendo fans to this day still think the Wii sold because it was an awesome gaming platform for actual gamers. The Wii would have tanked if not for them. We actually could have been looking at fewer console sales in the 7th gen compared to the 6th gen.
One console to rule them all;

I always had a theory that this gen wasn't actually larger than last. Between the people buying Wiis and putting them in the closet, to people owning PS3 and 360 consoles, there's probably less unique console owners vs PS2 days. As an aside, I think PSNow is one of the smartest things Sony has invested in.

That was fun... even before NPD, just few days after he posted, they adjusted the numbers to put PS4 on top (of course only 2k is different that 20k showed by NPD but his post was fun).

I agree but mostly because the Wii gamers are not moving to a new generation and I don't think they ever will.
PS4 will grow stealing core gamers from Wii and 360
Xbox One will fall losing core users to PS4
Wii U will fall losing core user to OS4 but mostly losing these casual users to anybody.
So the Wii U part is what making the industry fad... the industry is losing the Wii casual user base.
I was think some about next NPD sales and about the sales ration between US and The World.
NPD May Guesses
I was looking about the April average per week for the consoles to start...
PS4: 199k / 4 = ~50k per week
Xbox One: 115k / 4 = ~30k per week
Wii U: 50k / 4 = ~13k per week
So using the the most important fact that will happen for May we can guess these sales for a 5 weeks-month.
PS4: 55k-60k per week * 5 = 275k-300k * MLB The Show and Watch Dogs
Xbox One: 15k-20k per week * 5 = 75k-100k * Drop due the fact gamers are expecting E3 and new Kinectless SKU
Wii U: 15-25k per week * 5 = 75k-125k * Mario Kart
These are the sales I expect for May.
Global Sales Based in US/The World Ratio
If we look at the previous months for PS4/Xbox One we can find a ratio to guess the Global Sales:
PS4 Nov > 1.14m (US) to 2.1m (WW) = 54%
PS4 Dec > 2.00m (US) to 4.2m (WW) = 48%
PS4 Jan > 2.27m (US) to 5.3m (WW) = 43%
PS4 Feb > 2.54m (US) to 6.0m (WW) = 42%
PS4 Mar > 2.91m (US) to 7.0m (WW) = 41%
Xbox One Dec > 1.82m (US) to 3.0m (WW) = 61%
Well I don't have another sales data for Xbox One... so I will work with what we have right now.
PS4 Apr: 3.11m (US) to 7.4m (WW) * using 42%
PS4 Apr: 3.11m (US) to 7.6m (WW) * using 41%
PS4 Apr: 3.11m (US) to 7.8m (WW) * using 40%
Xbox One Apr: 2.64m (US) to 4.26m (WW) * using 62%
Xbox One Apr: 2.64m (US) to 4.33m (WW) * using 61%
Xbox One Apr: 2.64m (US) to 4.40m (WW) * using 60%
So the gap right now is already above 3 million WW... using this trend PS4 can reach 9m before Xbox One reach 5m.
Sorry guys I did a terrible mistake... May is a 4-week month and not a 5-week.

So using the the most important fact that will happen for May we can guess these sales for a 4 week-month.
PS4: 55k-60k per week * 4 = 220k-240k * MLB The Show and Watch Dogs
Xbox One: 15k-20k per week * 5 = 60k-80k * Drop due the fact gamers are expecting E3 and new Kinectless SKU
Wii U: 15-25k per week * 5 = 60k-100k * Mario Kart
These are the sales I expect for May.
Thought so.
Although I think 250k or so for PS4 is likely and WiiU could go higher due to a big initial MK boost
Ps4 > 250k Xbox One < 100k wii u will remain flat.
Ps4 > 250k Xbox One < 100k wii u will remain flat.
I really think that's impossible. There is some hype for MK
I really think that's impossible. There is some hype for MK
Hype from people who already own a Wii U?
PS4: 250k
XBO: 90k
WiU: 150k
hmm... honestly I think the Xbox one is the only system that will stay the same as last month... I expect both PS4 and Wii U to see a boost in May NPD as Watchdogs and MK8 should give a boost. I think Watch Dogs will also boost Xone sales enough to offset any drop due to incoming price drop. I don't think the Titanfall bundle and price drop incoming prior to Titanfall release date decreased xone sales as they were actually quite improved prior to titanfall release in spite of a better deal being available for pre-order.
Hype from people who already own a Wii U?
Only 2-3m people own a WiiU in the US. I don't think that's all of the MK fans.
Heck, even TF managed to boost X1 (an artificial boost) and that's a MP and we assumed everyone had got an X1 for it before it launched anyway
Oh yeah forgot out mk so 150 percent boost
Wouldn't be surprised to see Xbox One tank hard in May as people wait for the cheaper SKU. I am surprised at the consumer awareness I have seen that this price drop is coming.

I doubt it will tank as some are expecting. Titanfall bundle xone for $50 didn't cause the xone sales to tank before that was released. So I don't think that the new sku will have that much affect either. Although titanfall was a bigger deal for xone than watch dogs so we'll have to wait and see

I beg to differ, I think it's all the Mario Kart fans in the U.S. Plus there's a more likely hood of someone buying an X1 over a Wii U.

In May? Don't think so, given the impending price cut

I guess I hinted that the X1 is gonna outsell the Wii U in May, didn't realize that. What I was trying to get to is that it's more likely that someone who doesn't own a PS4, X1, Wii U are going to go into a store and pick up an X1 (or a PS4) over a Wii U. They're not gonna see Mario Kart and choose it over Call of Duty, Infamous or TitanFall. If they walk into a store to pick up Mario Kart, it's because they already have a Wii U.
I think Wii U will have its best month in a long time and Xbox One will have its worst month in a long time, but I doubt Wii U will beat Xbox One. Price cut news isn't going to have that big of a negative impact on sales. People have had the opportunity to get the system plus kinect plus Titanfall for $450. Also if the price drop wasn't announced, who would be buying it this month? Gamers who are ok with spending more for Kinect. I doubt much of these people will go "I was planning to buy it with Kinect and Titanfall for $450, but now I'll wait a month and lose Titanfall+Kinect just to save $50." The price cut will hopefully do a good job bringing in new gamers, but I don't see it convincing the current fanbase to hold off.
With Wii U, MK just comes out too late in the month. Its June should be much larger than its May. If I had to bet on it, I'd say Wii U<Xbox One in May but Wii U>Xbox One in June.

Yeah but it's Mario Kart...people will buy WiiU's for it.

yeah but that's when the new sku comes out for Xone so I dunno if WiiU can outsell it in June... if MS does a decent job @ e3 the hype for xone should bring their sales back up to 150k in june

But Xbox One and PS4 are in direct competition. Microsoft could have the best show in history, but it'd have minimal impact if a few hours later Sony's show is even better. I mean look at last E3. Game wise and what not, Microsoft killed it. Didn't do squat.

i think the price cut will have its effect mostly on the more casual/mass market consumers. the ones who enter the store not knowing much about either console, mostly just their names. previously they say PS4 for 399$ and XB1 for 499$ so PS4 immediately won. not they are on the same playing field, so it will surely make more people consider which one to buy.
Seems like Kinect Sports Rivals sold less than 65k.

Ouch
I was checked VGC a time a day to see if they will update the sales to match the NPD numbers... they did today.

115k |
155k |
Yeap... it is a joke yet... even after adjustments the numbers looks off... I won't make a lifetime comparision because it will show a even worst difference.
BTW if you check the thread some guys are thinking PS4 is OVERTRACKED now that Xbox One are selling really really bad.

Edit - MLB The Show sales for PS4 are 155k for week 1... seems a bit under because it was the fastest selling version in the franchise.
Yeah, it's ioi's crusade against Sony...

Neither the quote he can do right... it is 800-900k for a 5-week month like March... April/May are 4-week month that means 650-700k.
Jan: ~900k
Feb: ~900k (Japan launch... the only 4-week month to have 900k)
Mar: ~900k
Apr: ~700k
PS4 sales continue to amaze me... it is close or already hit 8 million... I think Sony will wait E3 do say "PS4 sold over 8 million as of May 22nd".

Lol, almost exactly what I predicted. I said they'd take the average of VGC numbers and NPD for One.
Yeah, well, Kowen doesn't like the numbers so (naturally) he thinks they are wrong. Ironic

Why didn't Dark Feanor get a ban? He mentioned you several times. Guys here who are still on VGC should report him.
