Ps4 pro could be considered a failure, depending on how you look at it. 

Not even close to a failure. Assuming there are 2 million PS4s in shelves, then the PS4 has sold through 65.5 million by the end of September. Subract 53.4m from that, the PS4 has sold 12.1m by the end of September. Considering that the Pro makes up about 20% of total PS4 sales ever since it launched, the Pro sold about 2.42m units.

Compared to the XB1, VGC has it selling around 3.1m by the week of Sept 16. I think it has sold less than that amount based on EA and IHS's estimates, and US/WW ratios. I have it selling between 2.15m - 2.54m up to the end of September. For the sake of argument, let's pretend VGC has it right. The Pro has sold 78% of the XB1's YTD sales so far this year.

I'm not neccessarily talking about sales. The console fails to push the needls forward in anyway. It really has no point to exist in my eyes.



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.

Where's Colin Moriarty now?

On the day Super Mario Odyssey released he said he gave away his Switch. This guy really must be butthurt by the fact the Switch is a success whether he likes it or not.

He is a Playstation diehard. That's no secret. It's just that it's sad that he won't give Switch or any of the games credit. His comments on BotW were childish to say the least.

One of the co-hosts of Kinda Funny Games Daily said that he was surprised that the Switch was only doing 2 million in the U.S., and that he "at least expected 4 million by now" in the U.S. He then said that the Switch is only doing good in comparison to other stuff coming out right now(I'm guessinnnnnnng he means stuff like Xbox One or X)

I believe it's their episode on October 31st

I never had much of an opinion on him leaving Kinda Funny at the time other than it was justified, but he wasn't of any focus to me being there or not. But now I'm glad he left after him acting like this. I hope he know's the more he acts like this the less people will take him seriously with these things.

Selling quite fast the damn thing is.

Fun fact: this is the 61st million selling Mario game in the US (according to VGChartz).

Holy moses.

It fails to push forward what needs in anyway? And it having no pointto exist in your eyes does not make it a failure...I am sure you meant no hard it was just an odd comment.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

I expected SMO to outsell all 3D Mario games in it's first day on the market. Horrible numbers.



SuperNova on 02 November 2017

Very impressive numbers! I hope Switch shipments can keep up with the demand, heading into the holiday season.
