Luigi did that well? That's pretty interesting, especially considering it was out digitally long before physically as DLC for NSMBU which I'd assume cut into some of its sales.

Are Rayman and MH3U just the Wii U versions?

It matters if software spending habits on mobile aren't the same as console. Don't tell me all the users are just sitting on a different platform, tell me they're still willing to spend the same money (or more) for the same amount of investment (or less) on my part.

Yes mobile people have different spending habits but even those are appearing on consoles like F2P and will be bigger this gen .
The market is heading for a merge it just matter how fast tech allows it to .

EDIT hhhmm creamsugar seem have broke .

I bought both of these on Vita! Woo! I still need to finish Conception II, and I just finished Bound by Flame tonight, I'll be interested to see how that performs on PS4 for May's numbers.

... maybe I should actually *play* Demon Gaze before going out and buying any more Vita games. Was considering snagging BL2 for it, and giving it a try.

The fact that I see no PS4 number, or even a credible hint as to how much more it sold, leads me to believe the PS4 and Xbox One aren't that far apart this month. If it were close to double, for example, we would have heard as much, same as in January.

Again, this can't be it. The numbers are way too low.
Click to expand...

the xbox one and ps4 are extremely high. they sold more in that time frame than any other console have ever sold. the wii u is pretty low for 18 months though, yes.

keep in mind this is the us.

Kagari already confirmed it's near double, like in January.

But if it was close, Geoff would've tweeted about how close it was again.

Oh, I was forgetting it was US only. Silly me.

Guess my first guess was right.

Multiplayer games usually encourage group purchases though. And long legs, as friends get to play with other friends.



2 decades ago we feared a 3-race pony would kill the industry. We've had 1-console generations many times over, with great success.

I'd argue we won't be in a one-horse race even if there is one supported console. Mobile. Tablets. PC. That's why that line of thinking before and during the 180s was so incorrect.

Basically confirms ~199-202K for PS4 and ~48-9K for Wii U. (The above puts them at 201 and 49 respectively, the previous calc put them at 199 and 48)

Oh, did he? In that case congrats to Sony. That's damn impressive. And I also just saw that Infamous was the best selling next gen title, which means it definitely outsold Titanfall on Xbox One. Would be interested in the numbers, but I'm happy to see the game do well. I expected both it and Titanfall weren't done just yet in last month's NPD, and that seems to be proving true.

I think that was a special case. That was super, super close, like 95-96% close lol. The Kagari info is good enough for me. He apparently confirmed it's near double, just like in January. I haven't seen the post, but I'm assuming opticalmace is correct.

Sonic & Rayman were already pretty close to 100K on Wii U alone already. It'd make sense that they hit 100K.

sonic in particular has had some good legs. so far rayman's done well considering where it started, but sonic has sold roughly 8-10 times what its launch month was at this point.

not that the raw numbers are you know, great or anything.
