What are we supposed to do in this kind of threads? I can't remember.

We're, um... yeah I see what you mean, lol.

EDIT: I remember now, We're supposed to start arguments about the PS4 vs XB1 and make fun of the WiiU.

Fixed that for you mate . Next time do at least see that the PS4 sold 100K+ more than the Xbox One. Not to mention that 50% of the games in the top 10 are all being sold on the ps4.

Huh and here i thought having good numbers was better than having solid numbers. Guess not


Considering an other person has already replied to your original comment, you should know by now that for most Solid>>>>Good.

To be fair I'd side with Nobley. To me solid would mean at a decent level and remaining consistent, which Xbox One is for the most part.

Which is exactly what I meant. I think some people are just trying to look at anything someone says and make it into a negative



PS4 over 24 million. What do you guys think the odds are of it beating the Xbox One 2:1 this year? last year it was a close, 14.4-7.9. Seems unlikely this year with how much better the Xbox One is doing compared to last year.



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.

PS4 and Xbox One both gained 0.1% market share where as the Wi U lost 0.2%.



Neptunia 3 Vita was already in the database:

And then got added again for western sales:

Stuff like this irks me.



Old as fuck, but at least they got updated.

Batman, Witcher, and Splatoon are beasting. Never been more happy to be wrong in Splatoon's case.

PS4 sales are insane. Honestly, I see Xbox possibly making up the NA sales difference in the holiday weeks, but EU and Japan will keep PS4 in the lead.

Splatoon is a bit of a mixed blessing though. Yes, for it's own sake it is doing very well and is looking like a brilliant new franchise for Nintendo. But it's has done virtually nothing for Wii U. Sure early July 2014 was still coming down from the MK8 launch, but YoY Wii U is down 20K(!!). And what's fascinating about that is MK8 and Splatoon are both at week 6 in this week of 2014/2015 and they have almost identical sales (MK8 105K, Splat 101K). Yet WiiU in 2014 was 50% higher than Wii U in 2015.

Splatoon is good for Splatoon, but that's about as far as it goes. Perhaps 'Splatoon: The INKredibles' (my title) for NX will be a system seller to people who never bought Wii U. But for now Splatoon seems to be mostly selling to the Nintendo core.

Very weird about lack of 360 numbers. Maybe ioi is having a hard time getting 360 data from some key markets, and with incomplete data from some of the larger markets it's best to probably leave it blank. I wonder if this is the reason for the latest set of delays in posting sales information. Would be nice to see an official word on it.

Damn! how much more dead can Xb one get outside of UK and NA? 75% of sales for this week come from just those two markets. Sure, they are the two most important markets for Xbox, but it's a terrible imbalance if a brand wants to be seen as globally relevant. If a game appeals more to markets outside of UK/USA then a publisher may wonder if putting the game on Xb one is worth the effort. MS needs to try to be positive about Xb one, but in reality they must be concerned about the serious narrowing of their market base.

Xbox One getting close to 2 digits in japan.

I seem to always underestimate Arkham series, this franchise sells like hotcakes for some reason i can't get.
