Numbers from known sources
PS4 - 175k
XB1 - 168k
WIU - 32k
360 - 13k
PS3 - 4k
With this level of awful sales and the NX and PS4 Neo leaks going mainstream. Is console gaming on the way out with such poor sales?
>one poor month
>videogames are dooooomed!
Other sources are reporting much higher figures for the PS4 and XB1, as well as an additional 5k for the Wii U
>>337447458
They're not as dead as desktops
>>337447601
They are wrong. 175K for PS4 is the real and confirmed number from sources with NPD group figures and there has been no PR at all from Sony regarding the sales which indicate an incredibly poor month in hardware and software for them.
>>337447458
that's a month? wow that whit would be bad for a weekly chart.
Makes perfect sense to me
Why would you buy any console today?
They are just shitty PCs
And casuals know about the PS4.5
April wasn't really overflowing with games. May will be high because of uncharted. Normies are ready to get it now, then a ps4.5 next year, then the 4k HD remake.
>>337447832
No it isn't. PS4 sold far more than that.
>>337448082
>May will be high because of Overwatch. Normies are ready to get it now
Fixed. Overwatch will be the best selling game of the month and PS4 sales will continue to dry up as people wait for the PS4.5 instead of buying one now for Uncharted 4
>>337448180
It's the confirmed number from multiple sources with NPD access. PS4 only sold 175K units in April. Facts are facts.
>>337447458
I wouldn't say consoles are dead just yet but they WILL be in a good amount of years.
Gaming companies are going to have to make big moves to mobile as that is what everyone carries and uses for games.
Its stupid but... Angry birds and shit is probably played more than console games.
Afterall, the old people can understand how to play candy crush, not Dark Souls 3.

Mods haven't banned this post and confirmed the numbers. PS4 only sold 175K in April
>>337448367
just because something is not as profitable as angry birds does not mean that is not profitable at all
how old are you?
>>337448574
that's your source? some random neogaf shitposter? seriously?
e-sports and twitch have ended consoles and made pcs casual.
>>337448837
Mods confirmed it. He would have been banned if it was fake
PS4 sold 175K. Consoles had a poor month
>>337448574
This was confirmed false.

april was always poor month
>>337447458
>PS3 - 4k
But what does it mean?
>>337449036
Nope. Confirmed by Neogaf mods to be true And there's been no sources to the contrary just people claiming it's higher with no source.
PS4 sold 175K and no company has made PR as sales are that bad. There's no arguing it.

Aquamarine or something, someone who posts on vgchartz who has a friend that works for NPD

>>337447458
meanwhile on pc 3 million overwatch sales
>>337449263
not that impressive for a worldwide number. consoles good games regularly reach 4-5 million. If Fifa didn't do 10 it would be considered a flop
>>337449196
Just talking about newsworthy events like the PS4 selling so poorly that Sony has refused to put out PR despite it being the top selling console of the month
Why do you feel it's not worth discussing? Haven't sales been the defining factor of this generation?

>Why do you feel it's not worth discussing? Haven't sales been the defining factor of this generation?
maybe for retards like you
Trolling OP shit aside, isn't this time of the year usually dead anyway?
Hardly anything gets released, what is there for "next-gen" is not worth getting such systems for, E3 is just around the corner to promise shit that will get rushed come the holiday season, or tell us something about stuff we soon forgot about and heard nothing since.
April Top 10 (Combined SKU's):
1. Dark Souls III (PS4, XBO)
2. Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
3. MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
4. Tom Clancy’s The Division (PS4, XBO, PC)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
6. Minecraft (XBO, 360, PS4, PS3)
7. Quantum Break (XBO)
8. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (XBO, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
9. NBA 2K16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
10. Star Fox Zero (Wii U)
>fucking minecraft still sells more than the Xbox Flagship Quantum Break
>>337449982
yes it's called silly season
>>337449982
Sony, Nintendo and MS released big first party games that didn't move console units and showed that demand for consoles has completely contracted along with the rumors of new consoles already showing up
May will be the same. Overwatch will get top ranked game and Uncharted 4 will only move software units, not consoles.

do people even udnerstand the meaning of "confirmed"? Cause all I read there is "that guy has more karma than me so he's right"
>>337450151
>7. Quantum Break (XBO)
At this point the Xbox is firmly grounded in JUST territory.
First Tomb Raider was completely forgotten about literally a day after release and now their flagship exclusive can't even outsell Minecraft.
FUCKING.
MINECRAFT.
>>337448574
Neogaf? Fuck off faggot
>>337447458
Why the hell is the 360 still selling this much?
>>337451445
niggers
175k consoles are 175k too many consoles sold. Same for any company really. Who the fuck buys that shit?
>>337451598
normal people
>>337451716
I've literally met one guy who bought one this morning for 400€. I told him of the Neo and he was like "dinno lol" and I was like "you're only good at wasting money, god bless you for how much of a sucker you are". He's an applefag btw.
>>337451797
I belive you
>>337451598
There are some 18M fresh internet users per month. Granted, the PC gaming demographic is huge.. bigger than probably all consoles combined (over 900M), but there's no reason to suggest that trendy and social gaming won't sell. MS fucked up, and the PS4 is the go-to for party play. There's probably nothing that could be done for them with the XBO.5 vs the PS4 as well.
May should see a big boost, considering Uncharted just got released.
>>337452437
>May should see a big boost, considering Uncharted just got released.
It won't. PS4 neo leaked in the middle of April and normalfags know about it. UC4 will sell software but PS4 will likely go even lower in hardware because no one is buying and everyone is waiting for E3.
But then UC4 won't even be top selling game in May and likely yet another under performing exclusive like the rest of the generation.
>>337450754
>still believing it's a portable
All signs point to it being a home console. It's even receiving a port of a home console game for launch,
>>337450869
Someone should inform our nipponese friends about PS4k. They only have "official" game news sources and no one willing to break their deals with Sony and run a story on this
>>337450869
the NPD only reports North American numbers so those Japanese sales aren't included anyway
They're going to have to announce a price drip if they want their hardware to sell.

>turn a hobby that once actually appealed to the mass market (holy fuck even my parents played PS1 and N64 with me sometimes)
>and make it into an elitist circlejerk all about MORE BIGGER BETTER FASTER

>not even touching on how shit games and game practices have been for years since it's so common now no one gives a fuck
