NINTY

The New Nintendo 3DS XL system continues to inject growth into Nintendo’s hand-held business, and the momentum created for Wii U in 2014 has carried over into 2015. Take these two elements, add in fun, exclusive titles starring some of the biggest names in gaming, and overall sales of Nintendo hardware systems so far in 2015 have increased by nearly 60 percent over sales during the same time frame in 2014.

Other Nintendo sales highlights include:

Nintendo 3DS

Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by nearly 80 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D added more than 184,000 total units in its second month, bringing lifetime sales to more than 730,000 total units.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS added more than 110,000 total units in its sixth month on the market, bringing its lifetime total to 2.4 million units.

Wii U

Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by more than 20 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.

Mario Party 10 launched on March 20 and sold nearly 290,000 total units in its first two weeks.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mario Kart 8 continue to sell well in their respective fifth and 11th months on the market, bringing their lifetime totals to nearly 1.6 million total units and more than 1.9 million total units, respectively.

The momentum for Nintendo software and systems should continue over the next few months thanks to a strong lineup of software that includes the just-released Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New Nintendo 3DS XL, April 10) and Splatoon (Wii U, May 29) games.

Some estimates:

First three months of 2014 = ~201K

January + February 2015 = ~158K

241.2 - 158 = 83.2

Looks like the Wii U did a little bit over 83K for March.

SONY

“We are truly honored PlayStation 4 is the top-selling console and No. 1 in software sales again according to NPD sales data for March 2015,” a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment told GamesBeat in a statement. “PS4 remains the cumulative sales leader both globally and in the United States and we want to thank gamers worldwide for their ongoing support.”

SOFTWARE

Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC) > 1 million (XB1 430k > PS4 400k)

Bloodborne (PS4) -- 389k

Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)

Mario Party 10 (Wii U) (sold 290k copies physical and digital, according to Nintendo)

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)

Since we know MP10 = 290k, we also know GTA5, BB and BF:H all did >290k (a certain tiger is going to eat a lot of crow today btw).

It seems Bloodborne sold 390k for the month of March.

-------------------------

I guess sony will win again....BB, the show. yada yada

Sticky all the things!

@Animal-Mother: i had totally forgotten about the show. Is it popular over that side of the pond? Was it even reviewed here?

@lostrib: Hey the GTA one is entirely the hermits fault :P Getting hyped for a 2 year old game, smh. lol

No I don't think it was the hermits that caused that mess......

@Desmonic: why'd you stole the show from @TigerSuperman? LOL

Prediction:

PS4 will dominate.

Xbone will follow but probably a 100k difference between PS4 and Xbone

WiiU: L O L.

/thread

Yeah it is, and yeah it was I think it got an 8

Someone tag me when TigerSuperman starts posting here.

@GoldenElementXL: Way to ruin the fun bro :P Also, your predictions? :)

Will SONY continue its ROLL?

Predicting PS4 to win by 150k just for the extra crow #Tigersuperman

Done

I hope you like garlic on your crow, I'm preparing it now.

Plentiful and raw.

PS4 wins by 100K+
Battlefield Hardline is the best selling game on each console.
Bloodborne <300K

No

Yes

<the order

4 hours 30 minutes left.

@GoldenElementXL: BF Hardline? Best selling on each console?

How does it feel to live on the wrong side of life? :P

Pulled in from previous threads, so there's no moving goalposts.

LOL. I'm not saying I think it's the best game on each console. I'm just saying casuals love shooters and don't know what a Bloodborne is.....

@GoldenElementXL: Dat 1 million though :P

Would hate to see a DLC disguised as a new game to be number 1 on all platforms lol We'll see I guess.

You're still wrong though >.>

LOL

Golden elements predictions sound about right. I know a lot of BB sales were DD.

@TigerSuperman: Haha, wow. That tag list though.

Below is a person who honestly doesn't give a ****.

@ConanTheStoner:

-

Just in case you haven't noticed, I give no shits about the sales. If the Xbone miraculously sold 10 million this month and the PS4 sold zero, I still wouldn't care. Maybe you should actually read my posts in your threads. I'm not making fun of Xbone for the sales, I'm making fun of your fanboyish obsession and desperation.

Thanks for the lulz anyways bro.

You guys should bet eating this wonderful exotic food in our country named, balut.

@anthonyautumns: Dude, 2 things:

1- It was "stolen" due to the general reaction his name causes;

2- Eeww. No. Just no.

Which I never moved ever before so this is pointless, then again you're not a very smart guy.

You clearly care, also I tagged you because you bet against me, you went off in lala land with this post.

I still say the 3DS comes out on the top, but PS4 winning will make me happy too.

@Desmonic: I see that's too bad... that food is usually great with a beer match. Then how 'bout this one? Soup No. 5.

This food is actually... energizing at the the "other" department.

@charizard1605: But 4>3!

That is fact, bro! :P

@Desmonic: Tell that to the February NPD ^_^

So, March's battle is between Bloodborne vs. Monster Hunter, huh?

@anthonyautumns: Okay, first and final warning: Stop with those posts.

More insults, as expected.

Which reminds me: I'd like to take this moment to congratulate Desmonic on the ownership of the March NPD thread.

@charizard1605: That was due to Zelda, in which case Z > P(S4) :P "Math" never fails, yo!

Also, what released this month on the 3DS? Honestly don't know. Or do you think the N3DS hype will keep it afloat on it's own? Would be a good sign for the handheld space I think.

@Desmonic: No new releases, I think it's just general momentum honestly.

I have a vested interest in 3DS doing well- as you pointed out, it would be a sign of a revival for the handheld market. Generally, 3DS is holding the forts well, but I want handhelds to return to their older glory.

Awesome man, prove it. Screen cap or link to my "bet against you" post right here for me to see haha.

I believe my post was along the lines of "post your threads for all the upcoming months and get it out of your system".

The reason why I know you're wrong is because I quite literally do not have the slightest care about console sales. Beyond that, I don't even care for the PS4. It's only a slightly better shitbox than the Xbone, not something I'm going to bat for haha.

@charizard1605: Well the PS4 sold for quite a big chunk of it's lifetime on pure hype alone lol.

And yeah, handhelds coming back would be cool. Vita 2 would be glorious (in every scenario imaginable, really :P)!!

@Desmonic: At this point, who expects a Vita 2, really?

@charizard1605: Precisely why it would be glorious bro! XD

Wait, I am confused, when did I ever bet against the Xbox One?

Welcome to the party. Apparently, calling out Tiger on his obsession = betting against a plastic box.

The holding music at the NPD office right now. No lie.

Although it probably has more to do with the new Episode VII trailer than console results lol

Now, now bros. Live and let live. I'm sure he was just confused as to how "bets" work.

Oh well, gotta get back on my jerb. Must... close... SW tab...

I'll be back for the lulz soon.

Collaborated with me, but nice try though. Oh and btw as the saying goes, too hot stay out the kitchen because you apaprently don't read your own posts, but I'll let you get that childish last word in.

No it wouldn't, the 3DS would ahve to do 3x as well in NA to be anything even like the DS, let alone the GBA.

Xbox One will win thread.

Different thread, but I suppose you don't know how to read so the thread titles may not work with you,andn the fact you're freaking out shows you care, to prove you don't care, try not mentioning this same thing again with fake sarcastic laughter and all.

@ConanTheStoner: I just got the notification for that post, and oh my goodness. He went to the trouble of tagging everyone who said anything that might be remotely construed as being pro PS4 (not even anti Xbox One, just pro anything else).

Lol.

@Desmonic:

Well, it made for a fun visit to SW at least. And some potential future lulz.
