He said that for April.

He was wrong because PS4 indeed kept the moment in April... that's why I don't think he has data for all US... only a few retails.

BTW he was saying the PS4 was meeting the demand since January but that just happened in April to be fair.

i dont believe raven having a lollipop.

I don't think anyone does.

Like me and ethomaz have mentioned, he's been very wrong lately. He might just have sales data for his/her's stores.

He has only been "wrong" about PS4 sales in May really. He said what he said mid-May though so sales might've fallen off a cliff after that

Unless NPD decides to do some major adjustments prepare for a large drop off for both X1 and PS4. Anyone thinking PS4 could keep the momentum it had are sadly mistaken. And X1 is dead.

I didn't see that large drop for PS4. Neither PS4 losing the moment... it sold ~200k in April a four-week month.

It was a large drop though. An average of 74k per week down to 50k per week. I guess it depends on what on you think is large but I'd say its large.

I'm pretty sure Ben said he only has data for a district of gamestops though, however he can try and sneak a look at other figures (but he isn't allowed to).

It was not large becasue April is always a slow month compared with March... it was a pretty good month for PS4.

BTW he is saying Xbox One is tracking ahead PS4 in June... I don't believe that and NPD will show opposite.

I'm willing to believe it because we have no evidence to say otherwise yet. I still think PS4 will win NPD though but by what margin remains to be seen.

Just a look at Amazon Best Sellers.

#1 The Last of Us Remastered

I'm done here

Just kidding... hourly ranking is not a good way to guess sales but TLOU at first is AMAZING.

That's how I see the situation... the Kinectless SKU didn't give any boost that will made a 130k difference that PS4 had in May.

[Xevross]

I agree amazon shows no change but there could be more change at other retailers. The reason I think PS4 will win is because of your Amazon theory but I would be surprised if the boost isn't bigger than amazon is showing

Aqua shared a lot of data.

Is this thread dead? Good. Time for some relative market highlights:


1) Watch_Dogs = 1.3 million units sold, close to 20% of total software units and close to 30% of total software revenues...more than than the majority of the Top 10 combined.

2) Ubisoft had a ridiculous 31% marketshare of total publisher revenues

3) XBO + PS4 = 43% of software sales in May

4) New releases = 50% of revenue this month, first May in DECADES that it's been so high

5) This is the very first month where PS4 software > PS3 software

6) First month in quite a while where Nintendo has YOY console software growth...for example, an unprecedented 57% of Nintendo 1st-party software sales came from the Wii U

7) Total industry = +52% YOY in May
$586 million

Total hardware ecosystem = +95% YOY in May
$187 million

9) Total software ecosystem (excluding PC) = +57% YOY in May
$274 million

10) Total software ecosystem (including PC)
$284 million

11) Total console software ecosystem = +74% YOY in May
$247 million

12) Sony console software ecosystem = +145% YOY in May
(47% marketshare)

13) Microsoft console software ecosystem = +36% YOY in May
(39% marketshare)

14) Nintendo console software ecosystem = +52% YOY in May
(14% marketshare)

Lol at the random sunglasses

[7H3]

interesting stats. hopefully the trend continues for the industry

[ethomaz]

My June NPD prediction...

[360] 65k
[3DS] 110k
[PS3] 42k
[PS4] 215k
[WIU] 60k
[XB1] 145k

[darkknightkryta]

I don't think the PS4 will be that high. 

[ethomaz]

I don't think the PS4 will be that high.

It is a litte down compared with May... June is 5 weeks, May was 4 weeks.
