I love the PS4 numbers.

Excellent PS4 and very good 3DS and XBOne too, but for the good of the whole gaming world, Sony and Ninty must do something for PSV and Wii U too.

The main reason 360 did well compared to PS3 in Europe was the 1.5 year lead and the much lower price. One doesnt have those advantages so it makes sense why its doing so poorly.


It's not doin poorly, it got very good sales.  Over 3 mln already is very good. They are making money, that's important. 

If MS really wanna to be 1st that hard, just cut the price+ Kinectless SKU+ release worldwide.

Its doing poor in Europe, which is what my post said

This is meant to be a dead period in console sales. Most people having to pay for Christmas now their credit card bills have arrived. There should be a dip around now which I think is reflected in the current figures generally.

PS4 looks very strong but I must admit it hasn't made the case for me yet to buy one. I need a lot more games than currently available.

 How many more games do you need ?


I need about 5-6 triple A titles to make me purchase one I guess. I bought a wii u at launch but I knew it was compatible with my existing wii games. I'd probably buy a PS4 in an instant when ps1/ps2 backwards compatibility is ready as I have a lot of ps2 games. Also I'd like to buy when there is some discounting of the early titles so I can build up a little collection of games at a low price.



Amazing sales for PS4! I think saleswise it will be a close gap to Xbone. But to me, given Xbone is really expensive, I think the numbers aren't that bad. It is on 3rd place, even outperforming PS3, so I think it will still be a success when all is said and done.

The gap between the PS4 and the Xbox One is getting worse. The Xbox One got beat in every market VGChartz has number for this week.

The numbers for the Xbox One in Europe show no signs of improvement either, if it's not panic time for MS (at least in Europe) than it's certainly sit down and have a good long think time. 

Edit: In the first version of this post I had a line about how the Xbox One was being outsold YTD by both the PS4 and PS3. I was going by the 1/18/14 numbers with have been adjusted and no longer show the Xbox One being outsold YTD (WW) by the PS3.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

3D World seems to be holding in pretty well despite the less than stellar WiiU sales. 


Lol, makes me think of all those "3D World flopped" threads...



PS4 outselling the xbone 2-1, pretty amazing numbers. The 360 is really dropping.



Dat PS4 sales data in the US.



See you next week.
