May 2016 NPD Today! Loads of Numbers, Thanks to Aqua, in OP!

So....

The Division is dead
Ratchet is dead
QB is dead
SFV is super dead
Other things are dead
GTA V and Minecraft will chart forever

Also "Current generation hardware unit sales were stable, but dollar sales decreased by 2 percent or $3 million due to a decrease in average price for these consoles." from VB.

I wonder what they refer to as current gen here

Meh

The Division brought the drop in popularity upon itself
Ratchet is unfortunate but I'd guess it's close to the top 10
QB should have died in the conception stage, the TV show idea was bad and as such the game brought its lack of success upon itself
SFV brought this upon itself as well
Other things are probably to blame too
GTA V and Minecraft are popular, we all know that.

Let's not start moping about the current generation, games are selling fine, with reports of games breaking sales records for their respectives series coming out regularly. Digital is rising (I should know, cause before this gen started I wanted to stay mainly physical with my games and now I own like 60% of my games digitally), markets outside of the US and Europe are growing, the importance of NPD numbers is shrinking.

PS4 + XB1 + Wii U = 330k ish..... Broad range.

That means XB1 + WiiU < 130k

[Dr. Pezus]

Lol that statement about uc4 sales being highest after uc3

I don't think he has the numbers.

He is probably using the ranges we have.

Wow. So ps4 close to 200 and xb1 100k

[Legend]

I've learned to just assume I have zero understanding on what Zhuge's inside knowledge is, but yeah that math seems funky. Wii U would have had to have had an absolutely horrible month and PS4+XBO would have had to have been almost exactly 300k combined.

We made you

Nah. You made the 13 original colonies that rebelled, kicked you out, and then expanded on their own to additional territory you never even saw when you were here. Also, the largest ancestry in the US is German, followed by Irish.

I have the official statement that says hardware sales were flat YoY for 8th gen home consoles.

So they sold 330k ish last year.

Logical to assume it's the same this year.

Unit sales flat.
Dollar sales down 2% or $3m due to slight ASP decline.

I think that normally he has some kind of access to numbers but it seems to be limited this month.

I'd guess that combined it'll be more like 340k or close to it and I'd guess PS4= 205k, XB1= 110k and WiiU = 25k or something like that. Those numbers won't be far off, from what we know.

Anyways, I'm off to sleep so you can update the OP with new numbers when we get them!

Yeah it said they were stable didn't it. I'd take that as it could be a small change. As I said above, I'm expecting it to be above 330k and more like 340k. If not then Xb1 has done abysmally

Wii U < 29k is the worst month in NPD for the console.

BTW 343 said in GAF Halo shipment...

NeoGAF - View Single Post -  Kotaku UK Rumor: Xbox One, Windows 10, Halo 5, & Minecraft notably below expectations
It was ~5M at 3 months.
 I have no idea what mathcamp bro is attending.
 

Halo 5 is at 5m sales?  
How?

[ethomaz]

How?

5m shipped as of end 2015.

US retail ~1.7m
+ WW retail
+ Digital

You will have maybe something over 3m with 5m shipped.

MS clearly overshipped because I can buy Halo 5 Limited Edition today in any retail.

That seems vastly more realistic.
