An emerging pattern... PS4 up 300% or PS4 sales quadrupled in Japan and now in the UK..

Who ever said they don't...?

Other than maybe FW, but i can't believe anyone would seriously make a reverse context generalization about anything he says lol.

If you actually made me go back and check, I count at least 30+ people in the last year. It gets said by a tonne of people here and is pretty much the standard of what people believe. They're not alts either.

Can't say I've personally seen anyone say that, but i do tend to just skim past and forget most particularly dumb posts these days, so i don't doubt you. Ignoring them helps me maintain my sunny disposition ¬_¬

I assume that particular trend was started by Watch Dogs? That's the only major release i can think of that sold less on the X1 by a ratio higher than the install base disparity. Or are some people honestly pretending that it's unnatural for games to sell less (and thus less systems) on a smaller install base?

But multiplats don't sell XB1's?????


For now they do. X1 needs to start be more competitive with these kinds of boosts otherwise it may begin to lose some 3rd party support like they have in Japan.

No, don't use Japan as any sort of comparison to what happens in the west.



 

Correction to a previous post of mine, EU is actually getting two Driveclub bundles

There is also the rest of Europe( could be 200k if there is a similarité increase globally in Europe )and rest of the world

 



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

Yes because localization costs matter. If the X1 doesn't get a comparable Destiny boost across the rest of Europe as in the UK, the economics of AAA games on X1 in the rest of Europe begin to look more like the economics of AAA games on X1 in Japan. The T2 baseline doesn't look to be too healthy



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Yeah that's what I'm saying, form the 3 countries we've got so far the sales are at least ~155k, so is 250k total all but confirmed?



Great for PS4. X1 did much better than I expected.

So we know sales have quadrupled in Japan and also in the UK. If the rest of the world sees a similar pattern, it would mean over 500,000 PS4s sold WW.
