NPD April 2014: E3 Day

Folks. Today is the day E3 steps down and shows off the future of video games.  Later on, I'm going to talk about each of the panels.  But before I do that, here's what's going on in the sales of Video Games in April

At number 10: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag by Ubisoft for the 360, PS3, Wii U, PS4, XBone and PC.  Shiver Me Timbers

At number 09: Grand Theft Auto V from Take 2 and Rockstar for the 360 and PS3.  Now why haven't they made a PC version?

At number 08: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 by Activision Blizzard for the 360, PS3, Wii U, PS4 and 3DS.  It's not really that amazing

At number 07: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes by Warner Bros Interactive for the 360, PS3, Wii U, DS, 3DS, XBone, PS4, PSVita and PC.  I still can't believe Disney let Warner Bros publish a Marvel game

At number 06: The LEGO Movie Video Game by Warner Bros Interactive for the 360, 3DS, PS3, Wii U, XBone, PS4 and PSVita.  There's still one more on the list

At number 05: LEGO The Hobbit by Warner Bros Interactive for the 360, PS3, XBone, PS4, 3DS, Wii U and PSVita.  Told ya there was one more.  LEGO games are still going on strong

At number 04: Minecraft by Microsoft and Mojang for the 360.  Also, keep your eyes peeled for Notch's new game "Cliffhorse."

At number 03: NBA 2K14 by Take 2 for the 360, PS3, XBone, PS4 and PC.  I hope you're a better free thrower than Shaq.

At number 02: Call of Duty: Ghosts by Activision Blizzard for the 360, PS3, XBone, PS4, Wii U and PC.  I dunno, we could use more explorative FPSs unlike this game.

And at number 01: Titanfall by EA for the 360, XBone and PC.  Personally, I enjoyed Loadout more.

Overall, Software Sales are down 10% year over year despite a jump in hardware.  But while the PS4 has the best selling hardware, the XBone is starting to take a dive at around 115K.  And that may be a disaster considering that Mario Kart 8 is coming out in May and despite Titanfall being at number 1, it may not be enough to stave off the Wii U if Mario Kart 8 gets its up there.

Later today, I'll talk about most of the events going on at E3.  So keep your eyes peeled.
