First time I looked at this chart I didn't even notice tomb raider was releasing this week. this is an example of a big exclusive deal that makes no sense for anybody. All it did was piss 80% of the fans off who are on pc and Playstation m


Seriously. I forgot the game existed until it was mentioned in this thread. This has to go down as one of the worst exclusive deals ever.

How did PS4 only sell 129K, and less than XB1, The week of the COD bundle? That doesn't make any sense. Unless it's because of 2 days tracking. But then what about months of pre orders? It doesn't add up.

Going by ps4 shipments and how well it's being doing on online retailers best seller lists like amazon,  gamestop and best buy it appears the ps4 is heavily undertaked.  

 

Machina is doing the software and the owner the hardware.  So I'm sure the adjustments will come after the next NPD both software and hardware. 

 

And we'll probably get another hardware adjustment after sonys next quarterly report.

No, it doesn't add up. It's almost like ioi forgot to add the pre-orders for the LE console in the USA. Adjustments are almost guaranteed, though in the grand shceme of things, with Black Friday week dominating November sales the almost certain undertrack for w/e 7 Nov might end up being lost in the margin of error between VGC and NPD. Unless VGC significantly underestimates BF week it it likely that NPD and VGC will sufficiently align for November that any difference can be put down to margin for error. If VGC is within 10% of NPD then adjustments aren't really necessary. And if PS4 cracks 1 million in the USA the margin for error is ~100K. We'll see come 2nd Thrusday of December I guess.
