You're being ironic, right?

Aquamarina shared the US software marketshares for 8th-gen consoles in May and PS4 is at 65% while Xbox One is at 30%.

Opps. I type fast and I don't always double check what i typed. I'll edit it. I meant it as "PS gamers are really buying some games." 

No worries. Sometimes my irony detector is broken so I wasn't sure XD

Aqua i don't get a think, have you 3DS numbers or not?

Just for if maybe NPD don't want you say those numbers or, if you don't have, why? Should not you have all NPD numbers?

(sorry for my english)

 

Handhelds are dead, Ryng. Let it go.

I was approved to disseminate a little bit more data for you guys.

If you wish to quote this data, please credit me as "From Aquamarine on VG Chartz." Don't just say "Data is up."

 

Enjoy, guys.

 

New, previously unshared data is underlined

1) If there is no ~ then it's the precise number, don't add one when you quote this data

2) ~ are sales which are roughly in line with the real number

3) < and > are approximate ranges because I can't give a precise number

4) If you share this data anywhere please mention that you got it from Aquamarine and say where you got it from, thank you

5) Remember, Overwatch digital shares are HUGE

So note, out of the PS4's 207.3K that it sold this month:

144K Black Ops 3 bundles

51K Uncharted 4 bundles

=

195K / 207.3K = 94% of PS4's sales were due to TWO bundle SKUs

Amazing how much difference black ops 3 bundle has done



Mr. Sega on 14 June 2016
