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

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?

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.
