May 2015 NPD Thread! PS4 152k, XB1 139k, WiiU 41k

I'm going to guess that PS4's June NPD will have at least 100k sales from the Batman bundles alone over these last few months. Wouldn't surprise me if PS4 has a 300k+ month.

Yeah 300k+ seems a good bet, since its a 5 week month as well

True, I'm not expecting it to do anything close to what Destiny did. I don't think it will have too huge of an impact. It definitely caused PS4 sales to drop in April and maybe a bit in May but I still don't think it will be very much. Maybe 20 to 30k is about right.

20k to 30k boost due to Batman and the bundle?? That's way too low. It's batman, son

baby, read what Raven said.

20 to 30k a month due to the normal bundle since it was announced + the LE, will be a boost of at least 100k

When did mlb release?

End of march

From the article: While PlayStation 4's hardware did really well, May was a month where it's huge overall lead helped it also dominate software sales. The PS4 version outsold the Xbox One version for every game in the top 10 list that is available on both with the exception of Minecraft.

XB1 139k

Ouch

Source: "Xbox One and Xbox Live continue to see strong growth in sales and engagement. Xbox One sales in the U.S. were up 81 percent over May 2014 and active global Xbox Live members, Xbox One and Xbox 360, were up 20 percent," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We are grateful to our fans for choosing Xbox One and for making Xbox Live the fun and vibrant community that is. We can't wait to share more on the greatest games lineup in Xbox history at E3 next week."

81% up from 77k last year

XB1 139k

Ouch

Then PS4 should be 160-190k

Holly shame, every game. So the witcher deal was pointless for MS. At this point they might give up on 3rd party deals unless they straight up buy the game.

Yeah the article makes it sound like PS4 won by a fair margin

Project Cars not even charting is very interesting. Not the showing they were hoping for, obviously.
