Wow, I can't believe Hardware and Software charts are aligned. Albeit almost 1 month old.

Is that a good start for Gears? Seems a bit disappointing if accurate, even in an age of a lot of digital sales.

RotTR PS4 also very low, but probably not all that surprising.

Around the Network

XB1 went up 45% and the PS4 still outsold it by 60k.



Rise actually did well, as expected.Couple that with a hopefully small drop(50-60%), the boost the the pro version will give, and most importantly, the holiday boost, and it should sell(with digital) 1.5 million by year end.

And even though still at second place, XBox One grow of late has been very good!Hope it keeps up.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Gears of War is dead these days, jesus.



Crazy to think the ps4 sells more software the week gears releases.

Fifa past 6m on ps4.
Gta V ps4 past 12m.



Around the Network

Gears of War best seller and it manages to make XBOne first in USA this week and it helps XBOne S winning agasin there monthly too, but despite beating the first Gears on XB360 by ~ 10k, its launch week attach rate dropped horribly, GoW 1 managed to sell almost the same to a much smaller user base.
Overall, a nice or at least decent week for every platform, sales are starting increasing as the really big weeks of the year are approaching, the only one dropping both in HW and SW sales is 3DS, but it's because this is the week after a Monster Hunter game launch week.
Anyway, the whole Ninty range is the most disappointing, Wii U is disappearing and 3DS barely good for a market leader with a small competitor like PSV, that's long become niche.
