Forums - Sales Discussion - 03 October 2015 Global chart

Good week for PS Vita. 50k Global is really nice.
And Persona with a 25k opening in USA is good too, but really no boost from the PS Vita Persona bundle there? Looks really strange, expected at least a little boost from the bundle and not a drop...
Anyway, happy that PS4 is doing great!

BTW, with some help from Tachikoma on the site code, they could probably achieve 100% accuracy on one number: the times Burek complains about numbers accuracy.   


No way.... how would you know if he is going to complain 5 or 20 times per update?

Yeah, Tachi is a gread dev, but not God (that is, she isn't Pachter  ) so she would just write some code to track him AFTER he complained. Trying to predict him would obvioulsy always result in undertracking.

Oh my, were are now entering uncharted waters now that the charts have caught up to hardware on the main page. And more to the point we may have one or 2 weeks of October numbers BEFORE NPD comes out. Unfortunate that we won't have the full October US charts before NPD.

If you think the numbers are so useless, why are you the biggest poster in this thread? What battle are you trying to fight? If Machina drops the tracking nothing will change in the forum, so how your complaints are supposed to help?

Actually, that's not quite true. Pretty sure there has been a noticable drop in activity here since the charts started being late earlier in the year. So no charts at all will just mean even less people coming here and posting on the forums.

Indeed, that would be -1 for me. If VGC officially stopped posting numbers I'd be gone on that day. I'd probably lurk in Neogaf on NPD day and try to find other sources for weekly Japan and UK charts. But all that would probably fade over time.

Anyway, re the charts, isn't it amazing that in 2 weeks 7th gen Fifa has sold almost 1.5 million, which is higher sales than most 8th gen games will achieve LTD. Will Fifa 16 PS3 > Madden PS4 LTD? It's looking possible.

track patcher is easy, 100% BS all the time and 100% wrong. Tachi is a dev goddess, but even if she can track how many times burek complains she can't predict it, sure it will be undertracked.

I put in the actual chart again, makes it a lot nicer to look at

These are coming thick and fast now. Finally!

Thank you.

How to make table chart?



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

the chartz use to work perfectly for the Wii evergreen dominance era not so good in the PS4 era

With binary data and communications, 100% wrong is the same as 100% right (you just need to invert everything with a NOT). Pachter = GOD confirmed!!!
