Holy shit the split was 55% to 41%? That's a major turnaround over last gen. Kudos Sony!

Why the heck are people still buying Forza 5, when a sequel which is better in every which way came almost two years ago? Drives me crazy.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Retailer promotions as described in the report. Probably trying to clear stock they couldn't shift.

pretty much every current gen game sold worse than its predecessors on week 1. The userbase still isn't there.

Maybe you're right that the lukewarm sales of Mass Effect Andromeda (it probably did fine with digital) and other sequels are due to the still limited userbase. Though, many games have been performing quite well this gen. So maybe it has something to do with franchise fatigue and quality decline of said franchise as well?

If one of my favorite publishers, Sega, somehow gets a hit on their hands this gen (Persona 5 or Sonic Forces?), literally all prominent publishers have experienced sales successes and records in recent years (and that's even without a single Call of Duty game). As a bonus, many of these games are truly amazing as well. So all is not bad

Nintendo: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild fastest selling Nintendo launch game
Sony: Horizon: Zero Dawn fastest selling new Sony IP
Koei Tecmo: Nioh fastest selling new Koei Tecmo IP
Capcom: Resident Evil 7 3rd best selling week one Resident Evil game
Square Enix: Final Fantasy XV fastest selling Final Fantasy game
Nintendo: Pokémon Sun & Moon fastest selling Nintendo game
EA: FIFA 17 fastest selling FIFA game
Blizzard: Overwatch fastest selling Blizzard console game
Sony: Uncharted 4 fastest selling Sony game outside of the Gran Turismo IP
Bandai Namco: Dark Souls III fastest selling Bandai Namco game in the west
Ubisoft: The Division fastest selling Ubisoft game + fastest selling new IP ever
Bethesda: Fallout 4 fastest selling Bethesda game
Warner Games: Batman Arkham Knight fastest selling Warner game
CD Projekt RED: The Witcher 3 fastest selling CD Projekt RED game
Activision: Destiny fastest selling Bungie game + 2nd fastest selling new IP ever
Take-Two: Grand Theft Auto V fastest selling game ever and 4th best selling game ever with 75 mill sold (only behind Tetris, Wii Sports, and Minecraft)
Microsoft: Minecraft 2nd best selling game ever with 122 mill sold (only behind Tetris)
