In recent weeks, total 3DS hardware sales exceeded 15 million units in Japan. The system achieved this goal in its 154th week on the market, which is, interestingly enough, faster than the Game Boy Advance. GBA sold around 11.64 million units by its 154th week.
As for the DS, Nintendo’s older portable has the edge. DS moved around 20.16 million units by its 154th week.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has provided his NPD hardware estimates for the month of July 2013.
Here’s the full roundup:
PlayStation 4 – 375,000 units
Xbox One – 350,000 units
Wii U – 60,000 units (would be up 5% year-over-year)
Pachter also says that fall/holiday titles from 2013 will drive software sales for January. These include Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, EA Sports’ titles, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Just Dance 2014, NBA 2K14 and GTA V.
Overall, software sales are anticipated to fall by 20 percent – $300 million this year compared to last year’s $373 million.
A continued decline in sales isn’t expect for the rest of 2014, Pachter says.
“In a nutshell, we think that the rapid ramp in sell-through for next generation consoles will cause an unprecedented ramp in next generation software sales, and notwithstanding current generation software sales weakness, we expect overall industry software sales to rebound into positive territory later this year. We believe this rebound is not only sustainable, but we expect it to be dramatic in the back half of the year, with double-digit gains expected.”
Wrapping up the latest round of updates for SoniPro is a final release date. In Japan, the game will be available on May 29. Pricing is set at 5,920 yen.
Ubisoft has issued a statement about the company’s recent announcement to delay the Wii U version of Watch Dogs.
A spokesperson told VideoGamer:
“We made the difficult decision to further delay the release of Watch Dogs on Wii U to focus the team’s resources where they could have the broadest possible benefit for both our customers and Ubisoft”.
Ubisoft revealed its decision to delay the Wii U version of Watch Dogs during a financial call held earlier today. All other versions of the title are expected to ship before the end of June.
