Isn't there probably a huge chasm between #1 and #2?

NPD Sales Results for June 2015 [Up2: Batman, Splatoon]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Very good point. I like to roll my eyes at the "consoles are doomed" post everytime there's a month of not so stellar hardware sales. But that should of course work both ways.

Splatoon's performance is genuinely impressive. Legs all over the world for that one.
Probably both. It's quite a good game.

Sony is going to clean up with their bundles later this year. I'm expecting a Black Ops 3 bundle on top of the MGSV and Destiny bundles.
mgs v and destiny and also AC Syndicate
Going buy-to-play was the smartest thing they could have done for the game. A sub-based game would have had a much harder time.
Madden sells more but NBA 2K stays around longer. The NBA season being long helps.

Uh more like new skus and buy a xbox and get a game for free.

Yup.
They'd have to put a pretty big asterisk saying not all 360 games are backwards compatible.
Of course, there are many who haven't upgraded from the 360 yet, keeping their library will provide more incentive. Especially if they were Halo fans with Halo 5 coming this holiday.
Certainly.
Still, number 2. I was expecting relative poor sales but must have sold well.

To some degree. Not big, but not small either.
Splatoon is pretty much guaranteed to have outsold May considering the 1m WW statistic we got midway through June. Don't remember exactly but I think NA accounted for over 400k units.
Edit: lol, beaten hard with the exact numbers too.

I'd hardly call ~298k a loss, but okay.
if my count is correct the 3DS has sold roughly 180k units more than last year (real figure are even less as Americas is not only the US)

Yeah no. You must be ignoring the actual reason, which is the free games they've been including.
Why couldn't it have sold 400K?
Wtf?
Didn't the Wii U version launch a week later? Or was that for other regions?

Holy shit I can already see this happening now! And with hype for SW Ep VII being at the boiling point and at imminent release PS4 could absolutely destroy the console sales charts of November/December off the back of Star Wars alone.
Who needs exclusives when your console has an exclusive custom Star Wars bundle with SW Battlefront?
Yep. No point advertising a feature like it's a big deal when it has such major provisos attached to it.

It's Grand Theft Auto. At this point in history, nobody should be surprised. Expect it to stay evergreen until GTA VI is released.
Sony has little to worry about this holiday season. 3rd party alliances have proven their worth in gold, and hooking up with the world's number one IP in Star Wars is a masterstroke, never mind the other deals that they've made. 2015 is shaping up very well and opening the gates to an even better 2016.
There's a significant amount riding on the backs of 343i. This year's Halo 5 beta bodes well for the final product, in my opinion - I expect the Xbone console pack-in to perform strongly for MS. The Gears version, not so much. I wonder if there'll be a RoTR console package as well, retailers may not be willing to assign that much space to Xbone product considering the results of the last two years. All in all, a very interesting holiday season lies ahead.
Damn can't wait to see PS4's FFVII remake bump.

Does Xbox One still have a chalkboard? We could always use that.

So Xbox One up 51% YoY.... Hardware up 8% overall....
where does that leave the rest in terms of YoY performance?
I think its safe to assume 360 & PS3 are down YoY...
WiiU I would assume is in decline based on the Nintendo kriptic message of "WiiU & 3DS combined are up 20% for first 6 months but oh btw 3DS is kicking ass and probably the reason for the increase"
PS4 we know was top selling and I am assuming it also was positive growth given the Batman bundle but ....if hardware overall was only up 8% and Xbox One was up 51% & 3DS seemingly is up it seems like there are some big declines in the remaining platforms.

I know Splatoon numbers have already been posted....but hanging out in Media Create threads would tell you...
Splatoon is in beast mode.

Sales of Arkham Knight slightly exceeded October 2011 sales of Batman: Arkham City, which is remarkable considering the difference in hardware install bases, said Callahan.
Batman is 1.5m+

This holiday hardware sales will be gigantic
Yeah, but GTA V has done well even by GTA standards.
400K in June for the PS4 would be comparable to how the Xbox 360 did after 2009 (kinect). It's possible but I doubt it too.
You mean Backwards Compatible with some games? Otherwise it would be extremely misleading.
With bundle I'm guessing sold more than 2 million.
