Support NeoGAF

360's 2nd March was 199K, I doubt XB1 sales were that low.

Hmmm wonder why they said cumulative then... I mean the 360 started off horribly because of the bad taste the original Xbox left in people's mouths. Why would you want to compare to that? I mean if we were like 3-8 years in where the 360 went supernova, and the Xbone beat it cumulatively, then that would be something to crow about.

 

[Mory Dunz]

You seem like the type of guy who knows how to answer this question.

Thanks.
Though I think there's even several people who have been keeping track of WIi U HW in NA.

so.....any time now.

Roughly, between 48%-49% of all Wii U owners in the USA have purchased Mario Kart 8.

Thank you

 

[OdysseusVA]

This doesn't track digital though so that doesn't add up

Meant the Demo that EA Access provides and not the discount it offered.

 

[Xenus]

Really? Didn't SE say they shipped 1m? For a remaster/remake of a PSP game they made out like bandits. It's all about WW sales for non-shooters.

They shipped that many but didn't do gang busters in Japan and in the US it was well below a title confirmed to sell 290K. So they may have only sold half that at this point.

 

[Empty]

i wonder where nsmbu and 3dworld are ltd compared to mario kart and smash bros

type-zero is pretty low i think. i'd imagine just putting out a kingdom hearts collection on ps4 and xbo would do better.

 

[Boke1879]

I'd be worried if I were them. It came with a frigging FF XV demo for Christ's sake.

and outside of anyone who's been following FFXV who's jumping for joy to pay $60 for a demo?

 

[Xbro]

That is the most heartbreaking gif I've ever seen.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Okay so what were infamous SS first month numbers? Bloodborne didn't sell as much as SS

 

[D-Dott]

Good sales for BB.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Roughly, between 48%-49% of all Wii U owners in the USA have purchased Mario Kart 8.

That's a damn great attach rate.

 

[botty]

I'm almost positive Disney Infinity is the 11th best selling game of March.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Granted the original game never made it stateside did it?

Nah, but it was also 60 bucks. 60 for a psp JRPG with a demo code included at number 10 is pretty decent.

Also....is the drop annually due to MS dropping the price of the XB1 and no titanfall console bump respectively for that month? Or is that too optimistic for everyone else? Heh

 

[shandy706]

Any chance BB will make it in next month?

 

[Morfeo]

Awesome numbers for Bloodborne. Very sad to see the state of Nintendo They deserve more with their amazing lineup.

 

[Toki767]

I'm curious. Is Battlefield Hardline on Xbox One the top selling individual SKU game for the month or does that honor go to Bloodborne? Cause that would be seriously impressive if it was Bloodborne.

 

[Silent Chief]

A full priced PS4 exclusive could never top a heavy hitter multi platform game like BF:H

Is it really a heavy hitter? It did worse than Titanfall who was a full price exclusive.

NPD analyst comments:

Hardware:

“Hardware unit sales decreased by 9 percent, and with average prices down 13 percent across all platforms, dollar sales decreased by 21 percent.”

“Console hardware was the primary culprit responsible for the March 2015 sales decline, with a 29 percent, or $104 million decrease, in spending while portable hardware rose by 71 percent over last year.”

“This is the seventeenth month of sales for the Xbox One and PS4, whose combined cumulative hardware sales are over 50 percent higher than the combined seventeen-month cumulative sales totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3.”

Software:

“Physical software sales decreased by 6 percent from March 2014 as strong growth of eight generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U) helped to partially offset the sharp declines of seventh generation consoles, down 52 percent, and physical PC games, down 64 percent. A bright light in the portable space was the increase in 3DS software sales of over 20 percent from March 2014.”

"March 2015 software sales showed growth across all three eighth generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U), collectively increasing by 58 percent versus March 2014. This is a sign of the health of the eight generation console space; especially when considering the strong March 2014 software releases (as a comparison) such as Titanfall and inFamous: Second Son.”

“One factor in the decline of total new physical sales in March 2015 was the 16 percent decrease of new releases sales compared to games launched in March 2014.”

“The launch of Bloodborne ranked as second overall in software sales this month, but also has the second highest sales for the debut month of a first-party game on the PS4, after inFamous: Second Son, in March 2014.”

“Physical PC games spending declined by 64 percent from March 2014 due to poor comparisons to a strong March 2014 launch slate, which included Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, TitanFall, and The Elder Scrolls Online. These three titles represented 54 percent of physical PC game sales in March 2014.”

“3DS THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK 3D would make the top ten software list when ranked on a SKU basis rather than a title basis.”

Accessories:

“Accessory sales rose by 15 percent with increases over March 2014 from video game point and subscription cards, gamepads, and interactive gaming toys. Collectively, these three types of accessories represented the majority of the increase in the dollar growth in accessory spending over last year.”

“March 2015 marked the best-selling March for video game point and subscription cards, and was also one of the best months on record (sixth best) for point cards.”

Thanks!

Someone get XB1+PS4 sales
"the Xbox One and PS4, whose combined cumulative hardware sales are over 50 percent higher than the combined seventeen-month cumulative sales totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3.”"

and outside of anyone who's been following FFXV who's jumping for joy to pay $60 for a demo?

People interested in Type-0? Oh right there aren't any .

 

[allan-bh]

I admit that I was not sure some time ago that Bloodborne would outsell Type-0... I was very wrong.

Final Fantasy brand is not the same anymore.

 

[RedAssedApe]

1.) Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC)

That's surprising, don't more people play Battlefield on PS3/4 (online)?

Also, yay! Bloodborne.

according to http://bfhstats.com/ they do. dunno how accurate though. xbone was higher than ps4 at launch due to ea access though.

sales could be pretty close to even if aw is any indication. also ps4 seems to be doing pretty well with digital sales.

 

[timetokill]

Surprised at how well 3DS is doing.

Why?

Decided job was more important than leaking numbers to GAF.

 

[Mory Dunz]

i wonder where nsmbu and 3dworld are ltd compared to mario kart and smash bros

type-zero is pretty low i think. i'd imagine just putting out a kingdom hearts collection on ps4 and xbo would do better.

We know 3D world is above a million due to some PR months ago I believe.

NSMB should be the highest still because of the bundles right?

 

[Reebot]

Amazing numbers for Bloodbourne, never thought it would resonate with such a wide audience.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Okay so what were infamous SS first month numbers? Bloodborne didn't sell as much as SS

Bloodborne doesn't have 1 month in the books yet.

 

[VinFTW]

I'm almost positive Disney Infinity is the 11th best selling game of March.

uhhhh

OT: Yay Bloodborne. Glad console sales are still healthy.

But most of all... YAY BLOODBORNE.

 

[OléGunner]

Why?

NPD feds on her back.

Edit: beaten by timetokill

 

[Conduit]

Bloodborne, bitches!!!

Also, MLB 15 had just 3 days of NPD tracking, amirite? Well, MLB 15 did really goood!

 

[mazpratim]

Yikes at Type-0

 

[Mpl90]

“This is the seventeenth month of sales for the Xbox One and PS4, whose combined cumulative hardware sales are over 50 percent higher than the combined seventeen-month cumulative sales totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3.”

Is it just me, or did the % go down compared to past month? Like, 10% or so?

 

[Xbro]

Roughly, between 48%-49% of all Wii U owners in the USA have purchased Mario Kart 8.

I believe the game had a 52% WW attach rate from the ship numbers at the end of 2014 iirc.

 

[pieatorium]

so what was 3rd highest ps4 exclusives debut ?

 

[anexanhume]

Any chance BB will make it in next month?

It's holding well in Amazon charts and there's not a whole lot of hit releases this month to supplant it. (MkX off top of my head).

Is this 360 2007 + PS3 2008? Cause if so, XB1+PS4 = > 684k

 

[Katana_Strikes]

So how many copies did infamous sell first month?

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Fuck yeah! congrats for Bloodborne! Also i'm surprised for Type-0 being that low...

 

[Mory Dunz]

Now we just need amiibo numbers

“3DS THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK 3D would make the top ten software list when ranked on a SKU basis rather than a title basis.”

Wait what

 

[Rymuth]

Why?

NPD group finally caught up with her

 

[xxracerxx]

NPD feds on her back.

Cheers. Sad to see her go.

 

[bananafactory]

So how many copies did infamous sell first month?

1 million IIRC

“The launch of Bloodborne ranked as second overall in software sales this month, but also has the second highest sales for the debut month of a first-party game on the PS4, after inFamous: Second Son, in March 2014.”

The Last of Us Remastered- 272k

Bloodborne > 272k

 

[N.Domixis]

Bloooborne at #2.

PS4 #1

PS4 software at #1

Playstation 4 is killing it.

Sony just casually placing more trophies on their shelf...

 

[RedAssedApe]

I'm curious. Is Battlefield Hardline on Xbox One the top selling individual SKU game for the month or does that honor go to Bloodborne? Cause that would be seriously impressive if it was Bloodborne.

in the UK Bloodborne was higher than individual PS4 Hardline which was higher than XBO Hardline. I would bet its pretty similar in the US except XBO and PS4 Hardline are flip flopped.

 

[FATALITY]

The game is a collosal flop critically and sales wise. Better for Sony not even mention it.

source?

 

[Kasper]

I wasn't expecting much from Type-0, but I was expecting more than this. MLB also performing better than expected, which is great.

The hardware being down seems only normal, given that Xbox One has had a price drop since then and not really much in terms of software to really push the platform.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I wish we got the % of owners who got MK8 DLC

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Bloodborne doesn't have 1 month in the books yet.

I'm reading it as sales in the debut month, not sales after a month. idk though

 

[Primethius]

“The launch of Bloodborne ranked as second overall in software sales this month, but also has the second highest sales for the debut month of a first-party game on the PS4, after inFamous: Second Son, in March 2014.”

The Last of Us Remastered- 272k

Bloodborne > 272k

Welfare, it's not looking good.

[ZhugeEX]

Thanks!

Someone get XB1+PS4 sales
"the Xbox One and PS4, whose combined cumulative hardware sales are over 50 percent higher than the combined seventeen-month cumulative sales totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3.”"

Unfortunaty that doesn't work.

It says over 50%. It could be much higher than 50%. Using that 50% number exactly we have around ~100k additional PS4+XB1 sales missing for March 2015.

So not exactly a great indicator to use.

Also last month I swear the number was different.

 

[pixelation]

Battlefield:HL Xbox One>PS4, thats surprising.

I don't think it is really, XB's demographic seems to loveshooters a bit more than the PS4 crowd.
