Wii U ~140k

NTDOY also says MK8 is "driving momentum" for the Wii U. Sales of hardware were up 233% in June, software was up 373%. #NPD

WiiU up 233% over June last year. WiiU = 140k

For its part, Nintendo says Mario Kart 8 had "even stronger second lap," the top-selling "physical software SKU" in June #NPD

That's that then. The X1 couldn't top PS4 with a $400 SKU and the Titanfall bundle in a month that had no PS4 exclusives. Now we're in July with the Titanfall bundle retired, The Last of Us on the way, and the $400 SKU not looking like it's picking up the slack. That's 6 months in a row. Two full quarters and nothing happening within the next 3 months for the X1 with enough impact to change anything.

3DS: ~150k

Quote my words... XB1 won't pass Wii U lifetime ever.

MK8 did good, now it needs to sustain that sales level.

PS4 should be quite comfortably #1 then since PS3+PS4 beat Xbox

I fear XB1 numbers.

More confusing, the data released yesterday by Xbox isn't #NPD, it was internal sales surveys. So we can't even compare "more than doubled"

It would be hilarious if WiiU and 3DS beat XBO

So basically Microsoft ran ahead of the NPD to tell everyone "this is what we think we did"?

Mario Kart 8 - 470k (retail + digital); 885k LTD (retail + digital)

Maybe they got their NPD numbers, thought "Holy shame this is terrible" then made up their own numbers to try and hide NPD.

GAF finally left Wii U enter

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

nice

Xbox One and the PS4 combined to sell 80 percent more units than their predecessors during the period.

Could be useful for later
