Nintendo Tops 750 Million Hardware

in Sales Discussion on 04 November 2019

ratolmc said: HoangNhatAnh said: How about Sony 1st party software sales? Why didn't you add them too? Well obviously Sony's 1st party software sales pales in comparison to Nintendo so no need to add them genius. However I do want to add that Sony this generation with the playstation 4 have been reaching Nintendo's first party sales (or close to) with titles such as GoW,...

Here's an idea, and I want you to really hear me out on this: Ahem... ...Turn. Them. Off... And play the game with normal controls! Resident Evil 4 for the GC had a special edition which came...

curl-6 said: Switch will decline in 2021, and people will claim it's because of PS5 and Nextbox, but it won't be. It will be because it is completely normal for a system to decline in its 5th year. Honestly I think people will still make weekly posts in each sales thread about how impressive the PS4 sales are for a console which is X years old, could be 2050 and the fact...

We did send Ioi an email a couple or so weeks ago but have yet to get a reply, I'm using Adblock and try to avoid coming to the site on mobile now...

Chrkeller said: LM3 is my personal GotY. I really enjoy it and the local campaign coop is greatly appreciated. I've been playing a lot with the kids. Speaking of which, people complaining family friendly games are too easy crack me up. Might as well complain Pixar movies don't have enough sex and violence. Look I don't disagree Nintendo games tend to be easier than Sony/MS, but that...

It seems a lot of users are willing to discuss the news, but the forums is more active than the news section. I could manually create threads on the bigger news and / or create a monthly thread on the monthly sales articles. You know what has died...

It made little to no sense from the start Yeah, it never made sense to me that the system would allegedly peak before ever getting a revision, a price cut, or key games like core Pokemon, but it was still an oft-repeated claim, I can think of at least two users here off the top of my head who predicted 2018...

Mario Kart WII ships another 40k this past quarter

in Sales Discussion on 01 November 2019

11 and a half years later and it's doing around 12k per month.... if you hold up a box of Mario Kart Wii to your ear you can hear the sound of the Sea... also the sound of tears from games which released over the last Decade that are being outsold by it still. For those who seen this and thought "waggle casual game won't sell as well as the GC game" keep in mind that the majority of these...

With Luigi's Mansion arriving the week after this, then Pokemon two weeks later, then the holiday season, it's about to go into hypermode. Also, this is COD week right, is that why both PS4 and Xbone are up slightly? Not only every system combined, but you're including the 10k 3ds in that...

I feel confident that EA will never truly change :/ I could see Dead Space being one of the remasters. Certainly Mass Effect Trilogy will be one of them. Maybe a Skate game or Bad...
