I am sure I will get flack for this but.. as far as Europe goes.. Xbox One is in just 8 European countries.. the PS4 is in over 20 of them.. Obviously Xbox One will track behind.

Again.. I am NOT saying the X1 would be tied if they are in equal.. the gap would be smaller. When September comes with a new price point for X1.. we could see some ground made up possibly.. But we all know that the PS4 will likely always be ahead in most of Europe with the UK being the one possible exception.


the xb1 is out on the biggest countries, that can actually pull off decent numbers

The remaining countries aren't going to make much of a difference and they're also Sonyland.

Mine is such a case. Back in late January, PS4 had broken historic sales records of consoles. You know how many? 21k.... in 3 months... that was a record. That. 21k. The UK sells half of that every single DRY week (PS4). And the PS3 outsold the 360 by a crazy amount here. Now you can imagine what kind of numbers XB1 is going to pull, can't you?

All you need to do is look at VGChartz numbers for France and Germany. It illustrates the point well.

LOL at the number of countries argument.......Xbox is already in the countries 90% of sales come from, the other territories will add a few k a week.

PlayStation 4 looks to be on life support til 2015 or even 2016 if Sony does not do something and if somehow FFXV and MGSV get delayed or something...


ROFL, no just no, massive fall games list, why act like third party games dont matter?? Destiny alone is going to move more consoles then any exclusiv,e peop,le think before poeting.

Joke post? Whya re you acting like third parties don;t exist? PS4 will sell a  tonne this fall and when games like destiny launch, it will move more consoles then any exclusive this year.

Nah I dont think she has them. She does the math after creamsugar or other sources drop the numbers and hints and she only posts readily available numbers, I never saw her drop any hints because she doesnt have any to give, I'm frequenting the NPD threads at gaf all time.

Nope she has them but she acts coy and doesn't like posting them. She usually posts ranges to give clues to other number crunchers if creamsugar is late. I'm also a very frequent poster there :) Creamsugar, John Harker and her are the main three with access to numbers and only cream posts them openly. Other two leaves hints/clues etc.

Either way I can't really convince you otherwise on the matter lol But I'm certain about this one

PS4 doing fine, everything else meh.... but to be fair will wait for NPD to reserve judgement :)

Watch_dogs is apparently the largest pre-ordered game on next gen, I expect it to push hardware. I think it will boost PS4 well.

Summer is *always* bad, but a few HD ports should at least prop it up a bit, TLOU in June and isn't Metro in august and also diablo 3... not exactly brand new games but it should all help (me i'm buying all of them...lol).

So from that I suspect July could be the worst month, so wouldn't be surprised is big drops of both. At least September is looking good though.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Pretty bad week. PS4 is doing ok but everything else is just bad. May and June will be very important for the Xbox One, not much will help it if sales don't see a serious uptick in June (and I mean big enough to outweigh the drop in May).



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.


Another meh week... PSV's worst week this year? And 3DS drops to embarrassing sales for a portable leader,
The only good things this week are Wii U HW and PS3 SW boosts
