NPD Super Late June 2014

So yeah.  I'm super late, considering the July numbers are due tomorrow.  But I will get this done. 

At number 10: GTA V by Rockstar/Take 2 Interactive for the 360 and PS3.  Warning, stay off online due to a certain annoying mod.

At number 09: Tomodachi Life by Nintendo for the 3DS.  As if Animal Crossing wasn't enough

At number 08: Call of Duty: Ghosts by Activision for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone, Wii U and PC.  Rumor has it that Advanced Warfare will also be on the Wii U in addition to the usual suspects.

At number 07: Wolfenstein: The New Order for the 360, PS3, XBone, PS4 and PC.  Evening Red

At number 06: NBA 2K14 by 2K Games for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone and PC.  We still miss seeing Michael Jordan on the hoops.

At number 05: FIFA 14 by EA for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone and Vita.  Wait, wasn't there a 3DS, Wii and PS2 version as well?

At number 04: UFC by EA for the PS4 and XBone.  The problem is, trying to decide which version is the best

At number 03: Minecraft by Mojang for the 360 and PS3.  Who said you need a huge budget to win?

At number 02: Mario Kart 8 by Nintendo for the Wii U.  Now with seven troublemaking Koopas

And at Number 01: Watch Dogs by Ubisoft for the PS4, 360, XBone, PS3 and PC.  Wii U version coming soon.

It was during that time that Mario Kart 8 sales were at the 885K range and are close to hitting the 1 million unit sold range.  Even more so, it is said that the XBox family has sold the most games across the 360 and XBone combined.

As for hardware, it's no secret that the PS4 is outselling the XBone.  The 3DS is holding steady.  But surprisingly, the Wii U is now above 100K, hovering around the 140K range.  Mario Kart 8 may have helped give Nintendo that boost.

How well will Mario Kart 8 keep Nintendo above?  More importantly, how well will the industry fair in this drought?  Stay tuned this week when I reveal the NPD of July.
