Vita game on top, PS4 version of Watch Dogs inching out MK8 again (One version of a multiplat keeping its total sales lead over Wii U's biggest title of the year for over a month, wow; MK8 will have longer legs, but I would have figured those legs would have gotten itself past WD by now)...odd week.

Wii U seems to have had it's least substantial drop in several weeks; they could be leveling off at higher sales. Nintendo better keep on their toes if they want to keep their sales from being back at pre-MK8 levels.

Metallox4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

Well, Watch Dogs was one of the most awaited games of the last years, and on top of that the PS4 is more popular, so I wouldn't be that surprised.

SilentNegotiator4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

But we're talking about Mario Kart and a brand new IP!

I would have expected the latest Mario Kart to quickly overrun a brand new IP's sales, even on the most popular system.

Vegamyster4340d ago

@SilentNegotiator

Mario Kart & Nintendo's other IP's will continue to sell for years to come, there is a reason there games rarely drop in value.

SilentNegotiator4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

@Vega

In my very first comment in this article:
"MK8 will have longer legs, but I would have figured those legs would have gotten itself past WD by now"

People really aren't actually READING my comments, are they? I know MK8 will sell more in the long run. The shocking part is that a new IP has outsold it on one platform for so long.

GordonKnight4340d ago

@silentnegoiator

There isn't much else to play on the PS4 at the moment.

Also, I waited for 2 years for WD to release.

Wii U>PS4>X1 @ moment

I own all 3 consoles and that's my opinion.

Vegamyster4340d ago

@SilentNegotiator

I did read your comment, i don't find it strange at all Watch is selling good for a new IP considering the amount of hype it has had and the PS4 sales are around 2 miilion higher then the Wii-U which means MK8 has a higher attach rate.

Knushwood Butt4339d ago

@ Gordon

There isn't much to play on Wii U right now.

Just one Wii U game in the top 30.

Benjaminkno4339d ago

@Knushwood Butt

WiiU posesses superior software, and it's not even a close race. To hell with software sales, all I'd be playing is AC or COD, because that's what sells.

Nothing on ps4 is worth the purchase. Second Son is 'OK'. But I'm still awaiting greatness.

christrules00414339d ago

@Vegamyster
The Wii had a 100 million install base by the end. Say a game comes out and sells 5 million in the first couple of weeks. It continues to sell because there is still 95 million potential customers. The Wii U doesn't have that install base. Eventually most people who have a Wii U will own Mario Kart 8 and then the sales will plummet.

Vegamyster4339d ago

@christrules0041

You're under the assumption the Wii-U won't be selling anymore, sales have picked up with MK8 and they will spike again when Smash comes out around Christmas.

Watch Dogs, a game available on five different platforms only outsold Wii U's most important exclusive by a few thousand. And Wii U's decline from last week to this week is hardly even significant. Once again, all current generation systems are outselling their previous generation counterparts. Also seeing a 55% increase on Vita is awesome. :)

edit: Just double checked and it's just the PS4 version of Watch Dogs. My bad. WD did just come out in Japan and I heard it was doing pretty well over there.

@below Yup, just corrected myself. Watch Dogs did have a lot of hype around it and the new region release would definitely help boost its sales. It's not too shocking to me to be honest. I'd be more shocked if Mario Kart was selling way below the numbers, but the difference isn't too big.

SilentNegotiator4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

"Watch Dogs, a game available on five different platforms only outsold Wii U's most important exclusive by a few thousand"
...on the Ps4 alone. That's the shocking part.

"And Wii U's decline from last week to this week is hardly even significant"
...Which was my point.

edit: Well, I expected two things; Wii U to see another steep drop in sales and MK8 (a universally praised game) to surpass Watch Dogs Ps4 (A game with rather mixed reactions) as WD dropped off in sales. I was shocked on both accounts. I mean, seriously, why the big uptick in WD sales that week?

Benjaminkno4339d ago

@ SilentNegotiator

There's nothing to play, so of course WD is selling. Not surprising at all.

paranoid19714339d ago

@benjaminkno

There, fixed.
A console with a year head start and it's biggest franchise can't outsell a new franchise on an 8 month old console :-/

Chrischi19884339d ago

The year headstart has no meaning, but what has meaning is how bgig the install base is during a games release. But whatever...

macethedon4339d ago

@paranoid1971

Exactly! That's last thing I would have ever thought a WiiU owner would say.

Moonman4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

@SilentNegotiator. You have been wrong about Wii U sales since MK8 launched. Wii U is selling miles better than before MK8 launched and will continue to do so.

Wii U sales were UP 11% last week in the USA according to vgchartz so go spin that.

SilentNegotiator4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

I was wrong that they were headed back to pre-MK8 numbers; they seem to have leveled off at ~60K/wk WW (although, it's only been two weeks; it'll take another 2 or 3 weeks before I really agree to this being a trend). But I was right about it falling behind Xbone again.

DeadRabbits4340d ago Show
mikel10154340d ago

Its because Watch Dogs just launhced in Japan so of course it's going to have a boost. It'll drop down back to weak sales again afterwards.

Theyellowflash304340d ago

@SilentNegotiator

You expected Mario Kart 8 to quickly overrun a brand new IP in sales,

But admit it will beat it in the long run? Then what the f**k does it matter then?

You keep on rehashing the same thing with Watch Dogs and Mario Kart 8. There has been many other games that were new IPs that came out in previous year where Mario Kart didn't overttake them quickly. But by the end of the gen, Mario Kart whoops that a$$.

So there is no point of even bringing that up considering Mario Kart 8 is one of the fasting selling Mario Kart titles ever. it will sell for years, while Watch Dogs will be forgoten by the end of the year.

Now that the X1 and PS4 are the same price X1 sales have been higher than PS4 in North America for June.

And TitanFall still in the top 20, WOW, most games released back then are in the mid 30's

@ Lukas US is not NA

SilentNegotiator4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

They've been fairly neck and neck going off of VGChartz, except the first week, in which Ps4 had 20K over Xbone. PS4 seems to have taken June in US, too.

Kayant4340d ago

NPD is going to be a shell shock for some people.

GarrusVakarian4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

"Now that the X1 and PS4 are the same price X1 sales have been higher than PS4 in North America for June. "

Nope, you're wrong. You need to do your research before blindly spewing such garbage. Going by VGC numbers:

US PS4 numbers (up until the 28th June):

163.901k

US X1 numbers (up until the 28th June):

144.226k

Even if you add on the week ending 5th of July, you get:

PS4 - 201.905k

X1 - 183.251k

But we all know VGC is garbage anyway, PS4 likely sold much more, which will be apparent when we get the NPD numbers, as always. Then we have the upcoming PS4 bundles (Destiny, TLOUR, DriveClub), the PS4 ain't giving up that top spot any time soon, not even with the X1 matching it in price.

"And TitanFall still in the top 20, WOW, most games released back then are in the mid 30's"

Lmao, TF could be number 56 and you would still be acting as if it's in the top ten. Time to let go, Axios2.

HacSawJimThugin4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

With every other comment in reference to Titanfall being dead, to see that it is still in the top 20 while games that came out around the same time are not is an accomplishment. The people(Sony super enthusiasts) on this site love to say the game is dead and stinking but these numbers tell a completely different story. It's July and the game is STILL moving units...and we can only guess how well it has done on the digital side of things.

GarrusVakarian4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

@HacSaw

There's a difference between the game not being dead in the sense that the game is still selling to new customers, and in the sense that no one talks about it or plays it any more.

In terms of the latter, it is pretty dead. Great game, just has no legs and is pretty shallow. Needs more content and more variety. Hopefully they address those issues in the sequel.

Brim4340d ago

@lukas

i still play it everyday ... me and my friends ... find games pretty easily and we're playing with a guy who doesn't have to maps so we're not even playing with half of the community so idk where you got your info from but it seems pretty false

Hellsvacancy4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

HacSaw, by your logic Aliens Colonial Marines is still a popular title, it's STILL in the top 30 UK charts, that whack game came out waaay before TitanFall

WilDRangeRrfc4339d ago

Wow your life must be boring

WilDRangeRrfc4339d ago

Yeah Titanfalls sequel will be amazing we get it your a Sony fanboy and TF2 will be amazing because it will finally be on Playstation

bigbic4339d ago

^
Yeah, I'm sure that's why he thinks Titanfall 2 will be amazing, because it will be on PS4.

It's not like he has praised it before saying how good of a game he thinks it is or something like that... No, he just all of the sudden likes it because it will be on the PS4.

People are very insecure over Titanfall.

According to VGChartz only 25000 XOnes where sold outside of the US! That can't be right, if it is then that is shocking.

kneon4340d ago

I expect they are fudging the numbers so as to make it look like the XB1 is not so far behind in the US while still trying to keep the overall totals somewhat realistic

GarrusVakarian4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

"@ Lukas US is not NA"

Lmao, dat trademark Axios2 spin and head-burying (only you would come into a US article and specifically mention NA, lol). PS4 won June, bro, deal with it. I provide numbers (albeit VGC numbers), you provide talk.

MysticStrummer4340d ago

"Now that the X1 and PS4 are the same price X1 sales have been higher than PS4 in North America for June."

No. They really aren't.

Christopher4340d ago

@Axios2: Since MS is advertising it as a new release, you'll see sales increase on the new XBO skew. But, it won't last long unless MS continues to promote it heavily, meaning loss of profits to keep the people up on it and forgetting about the PS4.

As it is, PS4 is selling with practically no marketing in the US, MS is spending millions on it to try and match. Seems like a Pyrrhic victory of sorts to me in the short run. MS needs to get things out there that will truly sell the consoles like crazy without losing money in marketing or other areas.

Magicite4340d ago

After a few months: ''Axios - wow Titanfall is still in top 100, what a marvel''.

Clarence4339d ago

We all know that vgchartz is notorious for under tracking PS numbers. You can bet that the PS4 is still outselling the xbone in NA.

I'm surprised 3DS is till on top. This year has been a little dry in software but it continues flying off the shelves.

Good to see the WiiU doing decent numbers though.

Just realized this is VGChartz, so these numbers can be way off.

SilentNegotiator4340d ago

Well 3DS is a nice cheap piece of hardware among newer, more expensive ones with a lot of games to play on it. I got one just for Dream Team, Luigi's Mansion, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and a few other titles.

DEATHxTHExKIDx4340d ago

It will probably be like this awhile longer till PS4 gets games the Japanese actually want. But there will be another 3DS spike when Smash bros and, Pokemon hit so 3DS could very well stay top for quite awhile.

mushroomwig4340d ago

500,000 total units for just one week is incredible. Well done gaming industry.

BosSSyndrome4340d ago

I think the important thing here is that the current gen is outselling last gen.

dveio29d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing29d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit29d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing29d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
