December 2015 NPD Thread; PS4 1582k, XB1 1376k, WiiU 463k

Halo 5 flopped in it big country.

That is the truth.

MS PR

"Thanks to our fans, continued support for the most critically-acclaimed holiday lineup of exclusives in Xbox history made December 2015 the best month yet for Xbox Live global engagement and Xbox One sales in the U.S. The total number of hours spent gaming on Xbox One worldwide nearly doubled compared to December 2014 and Xbox One exclusive game sales in the U.S. between July and December 2015 were up 61 percent compared to the same period in 2014. Revenue from Xbox Store's Countdown, the biggest Xbox Store sale ever, broke records with 69 percent growth year-over-year when compared to results from last year's sale. Xbox One is the best place for gamers and the only console that has all top 10 best-selling titles of this generation that launched in 2015."

This is such a copout piece of PR. Is that comment about the most critically acclaimed lineup even true? If so then that's only because one or two shaming games weighed down 2007 which had games that were rated way higher. And really MS, exclusive sales between July and December are up 61% YoY? That's shocking news considering you released 66% more games in this period than last year one of which was an actual new mainline Halo. That exclusive sales are only up 61% with that is actually kinda underwhelming.

Xbox One WW LTD estimated using US numbers.

Min: 15.8m (70% US)
Max: 18.5m (60% US)

The range is big but I'm it is close to 60% than 70%.

~18m WW sold-through at d d of 2015 looks about right.

Hmmmm. You should look up numbers for outside the US.

US Lifetime Figures (roughly):

12372k PS4
11088k XB1
4969k WiiU

These are too low, PS4 is over 12.4m and XB1 is over 11.1m

[Dr. Pezus]

PS4: 1490k

Good month for the PS4, now to see how the big exclusives hit in the coming months

CoD grow is superb.

The following data release is sourced from The NPD Group's U.S. Games Industry Sales (New Physical Sales Channel) report for December 2015.

All data disclosed to Neo GAF is fundamentally immaterial to the business of The NPD Group, Inc.


NPD's monthly point-of-sale data reports on U.S. Games Industry sales occurring from new physical purchases at retail which is the largest channel for games sales, but does not represent 100% of industry sales; it does not account for consumer purchases made via digital distribution, used game sales, subscriptions, mobiles, rentals, or social network games. NPD's Games Market Dynamics: U.S. is issued quarterly and is NPD's official estimate of the consumer spend on the industry and it does include estimate of the size of these other monetization methods.


The #1 best-selling title of the December 2015 NPD report was Activision Blizzard's "Call of Duty: Black Ops III."

I would like to share its relative sell-through for the past two months when compared to its predecessor.


Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare U.S. physical retail sell-through:

November 2014 NPD Report: 4.66 million (including bundles)
December 2014 NPD Report: 2.84 million (including bundles)


Call of Duty: Black Ops III U.S. physical retail sell-through:

November 2015 NPD Report: 4.89 million (including bundles)
December 2015 NPD Report: 3.44 million (including bundles)


Furthermore, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is also higher than its predecessor in both December and lifetime-to-date through 2015 when we look at individual SKU rankings excluding bundles.


More later. Time for work.

What's funny is that the 360 version sold more MOM while the XB1 version remained flat.

We also need to take into account that Tomb Raider was being sold for $40 in December, which definitely prevented sales from tanking.
