The last of Us is holding out well, thanks to Japan now.

I don't see the SO bundle doing much. People already planning to buy xb one will buy it, but i don't see it boosting sales. Advanced Warfare bundle will do more for Xb one, but it is far too well known to "pretend exclusive" it. So it's boost for Xb one won't do much in terms of PS4 gap, but it will certainly put much daylight between it and Wii U. When does SSB come out?

Hard to read halo MCC. It think it will have an effect, but nothing like approver halo effect. Only Halo 5 has a chance of causing more than a short term bump in sales.

Nice numbers for ps4

Current Platforms: HighendPC[rip]/PS4/PS3[rip]/Vita[rip]

Comparer to wind Walker, an other remaster, TLOU is doing incredible numbers



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

That was quick. I had to do a double take when I saw another weekly hardware post.

Wow to the PS4 #'s, it really won't slow down.

One thing I would keep in mind when seeing these #'s is one would expect they are more accurate than they previously were. With the PS4 adjustments occurring, I'm sure there is some better extrapolation occurring than before so the same undertracking doesn't happen again.

Next week the x1 will probably finally see the light and smell the fresher air of second place for one week. Then drop again the following week, then rise again the next week due to destiny. But dont get to cocky x1, you wont be that far ahead.


Nope. Releasing in 28 countries first week of September, it may not be much of a boost but it will stay up throughout the rest of the year.

I'm actually really interested to see the impact those 28 countries have on sales.

Edit: Especially since it usually takes until FIFA week (week ending September 27th) before sales really begin to see their holiday boost.

It's going to be DoA in those countries. You can already buy an X1 if you want one, it's not some hard task.
