DerNebel said:

I think we all know that this is only a matter of time now so why don't we try to predict the week it is going to happen?

Some information to help making the prediction.

As of July 5th Vgchartz shows the PS4 3.9 million games behind the Wii U.

upcoming bigger games for the 2:

TLOU:R July 29th

Hyrule Warriors (JP) August 14th

Minecraft PS4 August

Madden August 26th

Destiny September 9th

Hyrule Warriors (EU/NA) September 19th/26th

Fifa 15 September 23rd/26th

There's more but those are the big ones until September (I'm 100% certain that the PS4 will be ahead by September at the latest)

 

 


dernebel...hyrule warriors august 14th is the release date of japan:Pusa and europe will get it on september 25th:P

Not for a while. I don't get how anyone can think that Destiny will close the software gap by 3m before Smash and once Smash comes out, things will even out again. Destiny will do amazing on the PS4, but not 3m in 3 months amazing, and the Wii U isn't sitting with no software sold while that's going on.

Nintendo's software until Smash won't make much of a dent, though.

I'd say sometime early next year.


How on earth is Destiny going to fail to sell 3 million copies in 3 months on its lead platform? How on earth is the biggest launch of the year going to go that badly?



Destiny. Records will be set.

 Software for July 5


PS4 software is above Wii U there, by quite a bit as well. Not the best of examples.

No I am talking about Wii U and XBO software


Well in that case maybe it won't ever pass the Wii U's software sales lol.



 

Guys, let's be a bit realistic here: no PS4 game has yet sold 3 million copies of PHYSICAL software to date. Even if Destiny will be amazing, and I bet it will, it won't de enough to close this 3 million gap this year, specially considering that not only Hyrule Warriors is coming for the Wii U (which is the second product on Amazon's videogames wishlist!), but also Smash, which shall sell at MK8 levels at least until X-mas. (Else, just have a look on this week's software chart and realize the difference in shelf life of a great Nintendo game - MK8 - and a great game for PS4 - WatchDogs (103 T x 62 T global or 44 T x 16 T in the US)

Anyway, in the mooost optimistic scenario for Sony, I'd say it could happen by early December, but honestly I don't think it will happen this year.

You dont know the how big the sales of the Destiny going to be when the WD can do 4 million in a week(approx 40-50% of PS4). Also many 3rd party AAA games being released in between and Last of US for PS4 comapred to Wii U MK8 and Hyrule before september and many more big AAA games in PS4 from 3rd party after september comapred to Wii U Smash and Bayonetta. PS4 will surpass Wii U Software in september. 



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

It's bold, but... Uncharted's launch week. :p



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
