August 2014 NPD

If you're a MSFT shareholder, you at least get a quarterly dividend payment.

Me? I don't own MSFT outside of mutual funds.

The One continues to sell fine and is about to get some really great games to close out the year.

Sunset OD

Forza Horizon

Both will help people see that The One has the superior software lineup for the holiday season.

I guess I'm doing it wrong since I bought both Madden and Diablo on XB1 and not PS4 like everybody else...

These results are to be expected. The PS4 might win every month during it's lifetime here in the U.S. Microsoft and Nintendo might want to take notes for next time.

It's over. Microsoft and the bone are done for. Getting outsold by the Godstation 4 with Madden? lol

Godny domination will continue for the rest of the gen and Microshit will never make another xbox after this.

Praise Jesus Drake

I think it's safe to say the Vita is well and truly dead and buried now.

or microsoft should have taken notes on themselves about how to launch consoles. i cant believe they went the ps3 route this launch lol

Error 2014: The DudebroBox could not Dudebro. Please select a PS4 and try again.

Honestly, I think they did worse than the PS3. I mean, they literally had everyone's attention for the XBox One unveiling and said "Welcome to our next-gen console, how about watching some TV?" Even Sony, for all their blunders and utterly insane rhetoric weren't THAT ballsy.

Even Sony themselves wonder....can't compete with that.

But yet the pauperstation as you so call it doesn't need games to sell.

Imagine what the holiday will be like?

It's crazy but hats off to them....Sony was clear with their vision of the PS4 from day one. MS screwed up big time even though they already had a blueprint with the 360. I still like the X1 better but who knows if it will ever catch up and I don't care if it does just as long as it keeps selling enough to be relevant.

Remember when lemmings used to crow about software sales as a consolation earlier in the year?

They can't even do that anymore.

Remember when NPD threads would be 8 pages long in an hour because there was an actual competition? Yeah, System Wars can't do that anymore either lol

Lots of things have sold well to start due to hype. Look at Destiny as the most recent example. All flash and no substance in the long run.

The hype machine for the PauperStation will run out eventually. It happened to the Wii and it will happen to Sony's machine as well.

The March thread was the stuff of legend. Soooooooooo good.

One could say there were meltdowns of..

Titanic proportions.

You guys didn't think it was pathetic last generation...

You can always hit up Games Discussion...

Remember when Sony said they didn't comment on NPD numbers :P

MS screwed the pooch this gen

LMAO...comparing the gimmicky, shovelware system that was the Wii with a Playstation console is clown shoes. You should serve a week's suspension for drawing such a horrible comparison.

Boo this man...

So true! It all changes when you're the one in the driver's seat. MS really dun' goofed, though. Is there any word on the validity of the 160k number that lems are claiming?

But yet titanfall the most hyped game this year up until destiny couldnt beat PS4.....

LOL, will Wii U even catch Gamecube?

I dunno man, slapping a $600 price tag and telling anyone who thought it was expensive to get a second job was pretty ballsy.

And didn't the Wii sell more or close to 100 million consoles? Pretty good for "all hype."

There was a $500 version as well. It also happened to play used games.

lol wow, MS have said that only the last week's sales doubled (due to the madden bundle). They are truly pathetic with their PR bullshit.

"hey guyz sales doubled, we rock. No wait only the last week doubled, lulz got ya"

Not bad for "all hype"

Wonder how it's going to look after X1 has been released in europe and japan

Sure thing, little guy. People will suddenly decide that they don't want the more powerful console with the largest selection of games and instead they'll all buy the Xbox One.

Better luck next generation. Hopefully Microsoft will get their act together and stop trying to force unwanted garbage like Kinect and "TV TV TV" on whatever is left of their fanbase by then. Hopefully.

Is there any statistic or source that include digital sales? I bet PC and Xbox One game sales are higher if thats included.

lol at Greenburg's lame ass excuse to why they dont release summer NPD data. They wait for the holidays? Summer is "pregame"??? Dude is pathetic.

To their credit, at least Sony still combine console sales in their quarterly reports. :D
