PS4 was #1 hardware in February NPD
Michael McWhertor ?@MikeMcWhertor 31s31 seconds ago
Sony says PS4 "was #1 in hardware and software sales in February" according to NPD
After a quick glance at Twitter comments, it seems some people are surprised it beat the 3DS.
Boring #1
Though I wonder if they're leaving handhelds out of the announcement.

No surprise for me.
3DS - 250K
PS4 - 280K
"Demand for PlayStation 4 remains incredibly strong in the U.S. as it was #1 in hardware and software sales in February according to the latest NPD report. PS4 remains the cumulative leader in hardware sales with more than 20.2 million units sold to consumers worldwide demonstrating the fastest growth in PlayStation hardware history."

PS4 ahead every other PS console yet... just a bit behind Wii.
GAF is making joke about FFX/X-2 PS4 above FF Type-0 Xbox One on Amazon lol

The bolded is obviously only talking about next gen home consoles so maybe the first "hardware" also means home consoles only.

Top selling retail games of Feb: Majora's Mask 3DS, Evolve, and Dying Light. The Order at #9.
9th? Well god dang I was totally off. :D
Order did bad. I was worried that'd happen :(
(http://i.imgur.com/WIK0pLH.png)
The Order really should have been expected. It came out with only about a week left in the month and it didn't review well. The only thing driving sales of that game was the hype leading up to its launch. I don't thik Bloodborne will have trouble surpassing it.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j233/fireproof85/FebNPD14_zpsciywxr5e.jpg)
The Order is the first single platform game in the chart.
Oh Oh The Order bombed
Wii U looks like 94k... waiting confirmation.
Fantastic month for 3DS!
Order did better than 290k probably.
Not a huge surprise. Ps4 ontop! March is also a lock with bloodborne.
Looks like the chertz majorly underestimated the software for the month, Monster Hunter was number 10 officially and sold 290k digital numbers included, the chertz have the tenth game barely selling over 120k.
Also I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't kinda surprised and put off by Evolves position in the charts.
Also maybe Sony counted the 3DS and New 3DS as seperate system and thus the PS4 came out on top, no way do I believe that that thing sold over 395k.

It would be fairly accurate to say that February has beaten all of our expectations!
"Xbox One's fan base continues to grow with record February sales in the U.S. for Xbox One and 84 percent more consoles sold compared to January 2015. In February 2015, fans spent an average of 74 hours on Xbox Live in the U.S. - three times the amount of hours the average user spends on social networks*. And, Xbox Live set new records, quadrupling global gaming hours on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in February 2015 compared to February 2014. We are grateful to our fans for choosing to play on Xbox One. Offerings and experiences will continue to expand with Xbox One and 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection' available together for $349, new games launching this month including 'ScreamRide' and 'Ori and the Blind Forest,' hundreds of new ID@Xbox games in development, and plans to make gaming even better on Windows 10 and Xbox." - Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing, Microsoft
etho beat me again
I'm starting to think PS4 might've hit 400k...
XB1 278k
If that was a record February for Xbox One and they sold 84% more than they did in January yet PlayStation 4 still beat it.... I'm thinking PS4 sold over 300k.

My god, did America go out and decide to buy a load of consoles this month?
Nintendo 3DS is Best-Selling Hardware Platform in February
The one-two-three punch of New Nintendo 3DS XL, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate helped Nintendo 3DS become the top-selling hardware platform in the United States in February. All three products launched in the United States on Feb. 13, and even with only 17 days of data being reported they were able to accomplish the following:
In its 48th month on the market, the Nintendo 3DS family sold nearly 395,000 units in the U.S. The great majority of these sales were New Nintendo 3DS XL systems, which sold 130 percent more units in its initial frame than Nintendo 3DS XL did when it launched on Aug. 19, 2012.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D was the top-selling title for the month with more than 515,000 combined physical and digital units sold. The game is now the fastest-selling Legend of Zelda hand-held title in U.S. history.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold more than 290,000 combined physical and digital units and is now the fastest-selling Monster Hunter title - across all platforms - in U.S. history. In addition, the game has the highest Metascore of any Monster Hunter title and is also Capcom's fastest-selling title on the Nintendo 3DS platform in U.S. history.
Through the first two months of 2015, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by more than 90 percent over sales in the same period in 2014.
Nintendo also saw strong results for Wii U, which had its best year ever in 2014 and has continued to build on that momentum in 2015. Specific achievements include:
So far in 2015, sales of Wii U hardware have increased by more than 20 percent over sales in the same period in 2014.
Life-to-date sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and amiibo have surpassed 1.5 million total units and 3.5 million figures, respectively, an attach rate of nearly 2.5 amiibo figures per game unit sold.
The momentum for Nintendo software and systems should continue over the next few months thanks to a strong lineup of software that includes Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (Nintendo 3DS, March 13), Mario Party 10 + Mario amiibo bundle (Wii U, March 20), Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (Nintendo 3DS, April 10) and Splatoon (Wii U, May).
Okay so PlayStation 4 sold somewhere between 395k and 276k.
So 3DS combined was #1
278k<PS4<395k then
(http://i.imgur.com/9ta9voC.png)
Best February ever...out of 2 Februarys...
I'll guess PS4 sold 330k.
Looks like PS4 beat N3DS, but not N3ds+3ds.

Quite far into 300k then.
Wow, this month was crazy
Looks like PS4 beat N3DS, but not N3ds+3ds.
So technically PS4 was number one.
Dying industry my foot.
Nintendo PR had a percentage attached to it that we could separate the N3DS and 3DS sales with. Did anyone figure that one out yet?

We'd have to look up old 3ds xl's launch.

I guess cream is the only hope for PS4 numbers now, in which case I am off to bed
After a quick glance at Twitter comments, it seems some people are surprised it beat the 3DS.
Considering how limited that limited edition Majora's Mask 3DS is, I'm not surprised. It's a challenge to get people to double dip a 3DS this late in the game.
Edit: just read some more; I wonder what the numbers were now. Did the 3DSes outsell the PS4 by much?
Xenoverse>The Order. lol
The Order still sold too much. Should have been a complete bomb, <100k, to put RAD out of business
Feb & LTD
(http://i.imgur.com/umfxgRc.png) (http://imgur.com/umfxgRc)

Wii U 98k
From the pie (GAF).

Black is better than red, and there is a bundle.
Big numbers. Wow! :D
It seems TV was better than Vita in Feb, what happened?
Tv > 30k, Vita < 30k.

PS4: 172.5 deg = 342k
Wii U: 48.5 deg = 96k
Xbox One: 139 deg = 276k (basis)
This dude is so smart.

yea it was delayed to sept
I remember someone from polygon say ps4 winning Jan wasn't surprising since xb only had a price cut for half a month. Well... Full month this time and some pretty good promotions through the whole month... Still didn't win
March could be huge for PS4. Final Fantasy Type-0 looks like it's selling big on PS4 and Bloodborne looks like it will drive a lot of sales as well. Hardline should help pad console sales for the month. If PS4 did 342k off of The Order, Evolve, and Xenoverse I see no reason why it can't go over 400k with Type-0, Hardline, and Bloodborne.

That was Arthur Gies. He's the biggest known Xbox fanboy among major video game websites. He was even catching hell from other journalists before the generation started for how hard it must be for him to praise Microsoft during all their screw ups.

don't underestimate mlb. I told tons of people last year who just brushed it Off. It had a big impact last year and I expect another decent one

Yup. That was him. Retailers promoted xb hard in Feb too. You only heard about amazon because those were ridiculously crazy but target had good ones going for it too.
Apparently Vita did 60k in Feb? Can anyone confirm?
Definitely smells like adjustment month if so

To be honest, I completely forgot about The Show.

no such thing as adjustment months. Just people making shame up. Think about it, every console just conveniently undertracked all caught conveniently during the same month?

They might have missed something in the previous month. Their only way to fix LTD numbers is to adjust in the months afterwards.
OT: Best Feb EVER for XB1 sounds hilarious

Vita or Vita TV was 50% off in most retailers in US in February.
Yeap... you could buy Vita TV @ $49.

30k for tv and 30k for vita.
It's not that dead!

No. It doesn't happen that way.
Let's see:
Zelda MM 3D is likely overtracked on VGC
Smash WiiU LTD sales are still overtracked (>1.5m including digital but VGC have it at >1.6m without digital).
Smash 3DS LTD sales are still overtracked (>2.1m including digital but VGC have it at >2.2m without digital)
No. It doesn't happen that way.
How does it happen then? How do they fix their errors afterwards?
Vita or Vita TV was 50% off in most retailers in US in February.
Yeap... you could buy Vita TV @ $49.
Oh okay. But Vita being 30k on its own despite then is still not that terrible.
How does it happen then? How do they fix their errors afterwards?
NPD has very few errors. They only have to predict a small part of the market. Even if they did adjustments like that, I doubt they'd be significant.
How does it happen then? How do they fix their errors afterwards?
Certainly not by obfuscation at the cost of future numbers. As a research firm that would be insanely unethical and very illegal. The appropriate procedure would be to notify the clients that they have found an error in their data and reissue new numbers from the previous month.
Oh okay. But Vita being 30k on its own despite then is still not that terrible.
There was a PS4 bundle in some retailers too.
About adjustments they did more when they didn't have Walmart in their estimates (the biggest US retailer)... now they cover almost the full market in US (90%)... so the errors are really minors
So it's really just that the US market is in coma in January?

February is the tax refund month, no? Or something like that... there are a lot of deals (not like BF but really good deals)... it was always bigger than January.
February is the tax refund month, no? Or something like that... there are a lot of deals (not like BF but really good deals)... it was always bigger than January.
Tax forms need to be mailed by employers by Jan 31s. So lots of people don't get them till mid to late Feb. You have to file by April 14th or something like that. It takes about three weeks after filing to receive the return. So late February through March is when taxes start being spent.

Yeah
December(Christmas//huge sales) -> January -> February (Tax refunds//big sales)
Not much going for January.

But Christmas money??
Pach actually got WiiU right this month
But Christmas money??
It helps, but I think it's mostly gifts not money. Plus I don't think people typically get 100's from Christmas money. While tax refunds could even be in the thousands potentially.
Vita could be up by more than 100% so far in 2015.

Christmas money usually comes in the form of gift cards in small amounts. Taxes? I got 325 from feds this year. Last year I got 4300 and next year I'm expecting closer to last year's than this. And unlike gift cards, I can spend that money how I want.
Hehe, at least that re-price cut helped in February.

I thought Americans didn't pay taxes because freedom

It lost Feb because they cut the price in Jan.

no. No taxation.... Without representation.

Nope. Doesn't dare

Still has a lower price!!!
