ESO sold more on XB1... interesting

It's probably because Ps4 already has a MMO ( FFXIV) which also got a huge expansion recently.

 

[Kathian]

Good month for the industry

Yep. New IP doing blazing and all around strong hardware numbers.

 

[Ray Down]

I've been playing Arkham Knight and it's fucking brilliant, so congrats to Rocksteady for the major sale numbers. It deserves to come out on top.

Awesome news for splatoon.

It's weird how some 3rd party games sell more on ps4, some sell more on xb1..

There's little logic to it.

At least in ESO case, it's a strong brand one Xbox due to Skyrim situation on PS3 and wasn't oblivion released later on PS3?

Plus FFXIV

 

[1st Course]

Very strong month.

3DS and Wii U likely down yoy giving the weird wording.

 

[prag16]

Probably not a bad hold for Splatoon at 5. Wii U Lego Jurassic World sold like shit, eh? Some of the others performed kind of not that bad.. This one seemed to be hard to find though. Didn't see it in stock anywhere and Amazon had it backordered for a while. Tiny shipment I guess? Otherwise not sure why it seemingly did so much worse than some of the others, which iirc managed to outdo various non-Vita systems on some occasions.

 

[hawk2025]

XB1 numbers are quite impressive, lots of good work with the bundles and free game deal.

Very nice.

It's also super cool to see Splatoon hold on to a solid position

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Nice job for Sony and Splatoon. MS had higher sales than i thought.

 

[Welfare]

Is that based on being up 40% over the six months or up 40% year over year for one month?

Oh yeah read too quickly. Calculating again.

 

[Firelord Chargrilled]

MS gonna MS

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Way to go Splatoon.

 

[illmatic22]

But I thought Xbone won E3 according to Amazon and social media? And surely the backwards compatibility announcement would smite the PS4?

So much for that.

You'd need to know what the sales numbers are, no?

 

[Asd202]

FF XIV expansion isn't really selling all that well considering how ESO performed.

 

[QuikNez]

Great X1 results! Curious about how much better the PS4 performed.

 

[Mpl90]

Very strong month.

3DS and Wii U likely down yoy giving the weird wording.

To be honest, Nintendo has been using that wording for 3DS alone since New 3DS's launch. Now, 3DS + Wii U combined like that is strange indeed.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

"Sony has already said that the Batman bundle helped sell PS4 hardware, but despite this, the game still sold better on PS4 than Xbox One on this chart. That’s noteworthy because this NPD list does not include bundled games. So it sounds like Sony made a wise investment when it decided to help co-market Arkham Knight."

so not a destiny like situation where standalone sold more on xb1 but with bundles included ps4 version sold more

No, standalone sold more on PS4--

 

[jbug617]

Seems like everyone had a good month

 

[Bgamer90]

Pretty good news for all three companies. Splatoon doing well, Xbox One almost hitting 300K in a summer month, PS4 getting over 300K... Good month.

 

[Electret]

1. XB1 did very well, #2 or not.
2. PS4 is lead platform for BAK - excluding bundles, right?

Surprised on both counts.

 

[ffdgh]

Gratz splatoon!

 

[Xbro]

Posted this in the other thread, but it needs to be posted here.

 

[Obliterator]

Xbone and PS4 both really doing great stuff in the US

 

[anexanhume]

297K for Xbox? Great June for consoles.

 

[jackdoe]

Wait a minute, if 3DS alone is 40% up year over year and Wii U + 3DS is 20% up year over year, doesn't that mean Wii U is practically the same as last year for the first six months?

 

[Rymuth]

Yay Splatoon!

 

[Ridley327]

Surprised to see the sales are up from last year for Xbone and PS4, I guess consoles aren't dying after all.

It helped that they had some really big releases this month with Batman and TESO, along with LEGO Jurassic World blowing up pretty well. July is... probably not going to too hot.

 

[Rephin]

Congrats to Sony! (even though that was pretty much expected)

Splatoon though. You da real MVP. Wow. Congrats to Nintendo on a successful new IP!

MKX still hanging on too. Awesome job, NRS!

 

[allan-bh]

Seems like everyone had a good month

Except Wii U.

 

[Asd202]

MS gonna MS

But guys we got Halo!

 

[Kama_1082]

That's certainly higher than I would have guessed. Means PS4 is over 300k.

Look at the big brains on Jigorath

YESSSSS!!

 

[nobodyshero]

I would assume the vast majority of those were digital sales.

 

[Toki767]

ESO was the top selling game on PSN in June so I imagine more people on PS4 just bought it digitally than Xbox One.

 

[rrc1594]

I thought Consoles were dying tho

 

[1st Course]

3DS 213k

40% up over 6 months, not June alone.

Someone need to multiply last year first 6 months of 3ds sales by 1.40 and then deduct from the this year jan-may total to find how much the 3ds sold this month.

 

[QuikNez]

MS gonna MS

No.

Greenberg gonna be Greenberg.

These fn guys need to be banned from social media, they're continuing to bring the Xbox brand shame.

 

[Kathian]

So much for that.

Huh? Ignoring MS coming from behind or that I don't really disagree with you - I would not expect E3 itself to have an impact but he announcements when released to impact.

Ie the holiday where MS does well anyway.

 

[Bgamer90]

But I thought Xbone won E3 according to Amazon and social media? And surely the backwards compatibility announcement would smite the PS4?

So much for that.

E3 has never really determined (slow) Summer sales. Most of the stuff shown at E3 isn't going to help sales until the Holidays.

You're a bucket of sunshine you know that?

 

[def sim]

Microsoft's statement via venture beat is in the OP.

Greenberg tweets out marketing blurbs like that regularly.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I wonder what's the split for Batman Arkham Knight.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Huh, I wonder how much PS4 did with those bundles considering Batman seems to have done really really well

 

[Slayven]

Arkham Knight shows Battlefront, and COD is going to kill this winter

 

[etta]

Honestly, Microsoft should put "Backwards Compatibility" on the boxes for all new systems, maybe they are waiting until Fall when the feature is fully released.

 

[Kama_1082]

MS gonna MS

lol

 

[Welfare]

I got 123k for 3DS, using 1.2x

 

[RowdyReverb]

Looks like that AK co-marketing paid off.

 

[On Demand]

297K for XB1. I predicted a 100k gap with PS4 but I doubt it sold 400K. I'm guessing maybe 360K then.

 

[ZhugeEX]

40% up over 6 months, not June alone.

Someone need to multiply last year first 6 months of 3ds sales by 1.40 and then dedicate from the this year jan-may total to find how much the 3ds sold this month.

~124k

 

[Smellycat]

Impressive from Splatoon, especially since it is exclusive to one console!
