Great month for gaming sales.

quote:

U.S. consumers spent $1.025 billion on new physical games, hardware, and game-related accessories in March, according to industry-intelligence firm The NPD Group. That’s up 3 percent from the same period in 2013. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One once again did their part. Gamers spent $395 million on new machines. That’s up a massive 78 percent year-over-year. The PS4 outsold the Xbox One and all other machines, according to NPD.

A good amount of people thought Titanfall would push the X1 over PS4 in the March NPD.

That UH posted it or that the PS4 outsold the XB1 in March?

The former is expected, but the latter is a shock. X1 was assumed to take this month with their biggest game of the year and the cheap bundle.

I'm an Xbox One person and wasn't expecting it to. It takes more than one game to do that.

This.

inFamous held its own to keep PS4 ahead. Per VGChartz, Titanfall has sold 1.35 million on XB1, and inFamous has sold 1.05 million on PS4.

I didn't think the PS4 would win in March.

It's very surprising. With such an enormous marketing campaign I figured the XONE would sell double the PS4 numbers for the month.

You know the actual sad thing about all of this?

I own a PS4 and I still haven't bought a game for it yet. The releases still suck.

Largely how I feel about the XBone as far as games go.

Bought Forza, got bored after a day.

Bought Dead Rising, bored after 2 days.

I have played some rental from Gamefly, and I weat out the TV functionality.

Love the machine overall.

Resogun was free and I consider that an arcade game.

I'm talking RPGs, hack and slash, hell, even FPS, despite the fact that I don't really play FPS anymore.

I've played Killzone, but I thought it was disappointing.

Disclaimer: I don't play PVP anymore, so my opinions of many games comes from the SP campaign.
