It's being the same.

It's looks like I had sipped up some Sony kool aid expecting the japanese launch to be much bigger than the results so far. LOLOL

Gotta be careful with that hype otherwise I'll get burned. It looks like japan is done with consoles for good ... The PS4 won't be restoring that place or any other consoles for this generation and next but it may be premature to judge a bit early. We'll have our full conclusion on whether or not PS4 will be able to ravage what's left of japan by the end of the year.

LoL. I believe in Anti Hype. How bad was the PS4 launch?

on 25 February 2014

It only did 320K. Not the 500K most of us on here were expecting. It will likely do worse in the following weeks since there's not many games out there that the region likes.

on 25 February 2014

That's underwhelming. Oh well, the industry is in need of changes. Only the pain of losing money can bring about changes. Welcome to the 8th gen. Where the winner is the loser who loses least! LoL.

on 25 February 2014

It looks like these will be the final numbers ...

PS4: 100 mil
X1: 40 mil
WII U: 15 mil

If your wondering why the PS4 grew from the PS3 that's because sean, rol and I believe that the PS4 will grow at the expense of xbox. As for the WII U it's not of to great start since it's selling half of what gamecube did in it's second January while zorg1000 brought up an interesting point of how the first 18 or so months of the N64 and GC accounted for about 45% of their lifetime sales so if we were to project them on to the WII U you could only imagine how bad it would be.

on 25 February 2014

I don't think the growth from Xbox converts will be enough to push it to 100m, too many factors going against it. It may do PS3 numbers. This industry isn't healthy. Xbox looks about right though, Wii U..Wth knows, you could be high balling it lol.

on 25 February 2014

Definitely alot of factors going against it such as dev costs and all that other jazz.

Oh don't just jinx me now on the WII U LOL. I gave it the benefit of doubt much like how zorg1000 did but then again the image is pretty gross by now ...

So how are the Janurary NPD numbers ?

on 15 February 2014 | 5 comments

From what I've seen, none too good. Wii U is a dud, Vita is pathetic, Xbone isn't flying off shelves, and PS4 looks good only in comparison to the other duds. Oh and 3DS is not performing well either. I feel this gen is going to spell trouble for many console makers and game devs.

on 15 February 2014

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Aside from the PS4 doing decent numbers everything else isn't looking too good. I'm extremely interested in the PS4 numbers in february to see if it's the real deal. This gen is definitely a decline but it doesn't exactly spell doom just yet ...

on 15 February 2014

Same here. I know people are quick to compare PS4 to the Wii, but PS4 gets smoked. Also, Macroeconomic conditions are such that $400 will become a steep price to pay. This gen is nothing like gens before, no gen ever is. They are always separate entities.

on 15 February 2014

Spoken like a true veteran LOL. I think your age is starting to show.

Macroeconomic conditions are making it harder for a console to be sold although I still have hope that Destiny will reinvigorate the gaming industry. Afterall Bungie isn't some noob developers and their getting supported by the Goliath known as Activision.

on 15 February 2014

LoL, I guess my age is starting to get to me, you young whippersnappers! I hear you, though I hope something does invigorate the industry, but sometimes in order for this to happen, decline must become the norm, and eliminate the excess of vanity from this industry.
