I'm honestly surprised 28k people bought the WiiU
Who is buying that

NPD Sales Results for May 2016
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Yup, worst month ever was 29,000 unit in July 2013.
EDIT: Beated by Welfare.
Also guys, < 28K means UNDER 28K.
Can be even way worse than this...

I kinda wanna buy one again, but at this point I've waited so long I might as well wait for the NX.

Microsoft's PR statement is essentially saying that more than twice the amount of people played on their Xbox Ones when Overwatch, Doom, and Black Ops (backwards compatible) were released on Xbox One compared to last year, right? If that's correct, compared to what specific time of last year, though?

That's what the PR should be.
"Amazingly, 28,000 people actually bought a Wii U this month. We have no idea why. The only game of note the past half year was Star Fox Zero, for fuck's sake. Wow. This is unbelievable. Truly, Nintendo's brand is strong." - Nintendo PR, May 2016
Thanks.
With ~1.7m more PS4 than XBO in the market, it's expected.

It's like a role reversal of what you would expect with Neo rumours lol. Almost as if people went, hmm, that Neo, it's from MS, right? Lets wait.
Compared to May 2015.

I underestimated Battleborn. And overestimated The Division since I thought it would chart.
Still a solid month for both games and current generation hardware. Especially knowing cumulative unit sales of PS4 and X1 are 43% higher than they were in last generation's cycle.

Yeah...well, I shouldn't be shocked. Are there any games for WiiU anymore? Seems like its been a wasteland for months.
And this is in America, their "strongest" territory. Only other one might be UK and Brazil? But even that news came out today that MS isn't happy with UK sales as well.
But yeah, I think MS has essentially lost every territory at this point. And if Sony has a year headstart with the NEO? Ohh man, fucking forget it. It's over. 2 tflop extra ain't even gonna save you.

Been hearing a lot of people saying that Overwatch was going to run over everyone. Well, not only did UC4 prove that wrong (on a single platform), but man, Doom did it too. Impressive.
I suspect there is a tremendous dropoff between #3 and #4 on the list.
Forget the park, they have to knock it out of the damn hemisphere.

I don't think most people care about that. People are just happy, as am I, that Doom sold well. There was always a big question mark surrounding it before release on if id could successfully resurrect Doom and bring it make it relevant again. So, this is validation that it's mission accomplished and bodes well for the future, in that we'll more than likely see another Doom made after this one.
Incredible how there was a shift in power after the insane Xbox 360 dominance last gen.
Especially with how this is the case in the Xbox's strongest market
Oh God Why

Oh, thanks!
Nice numbers then.

To be fair... looking at only packaged sales and trying to compare OW and Doom isn't a useful exercise. Both Doom and OW should have done exceptionally well digitally, and I'd wager that Overwatch could have the highest digital split of any game yet released.
All we know is that we don't know.

Halo 5, October 2015.

I think they've given up, based on how Phil has spoken lately.
They're just focused on continuing to build their franchises and core audience
So what they are going to make their own amiibos as well to milk that group?

Factor in that OW prob sold millions digitally on PC.
Did anyone say that and just mean consoles? Overwatch clearly did run over them just based on PC sales alone.

Dunno. I guess no one expected PS4 to beat XB1 so much this month.
People thought Doom would do better on XB1. Gap is not so big...yet.

I mean I think it's hard to argue it likely handily outsold everything else. We just don't know by how much.
Normal it's 360 and PS3 right? maybe next gen sales are finally taking over?
Thank you both!
Oh absolutely, wouldn't surprise me.

They did, many did, it's in the prediction threads. The gap is nearing 2 million, most games now are going to sell more on PS4.
yeah, but shooters are very strong on Playstation too, last gen PS3 just doesn't had install base in US to compete against sales on 360.
