LOL. While I doubt that it's intentional, history has shown us that for 2014, VGC numbers have gone from bad to terrible in terms of accuracy. What we know for a list of facts : Amazon has predicted the winner of PS4 v XBO every month this year with ease, even with relative accuracy by extrapolating from their best-sellers lists. NPD has shown VGC to be off EVERY_SINGLE_MONTH, sometimes by triple-digit percentages. VGC has CONSISTENTLY OVERTRACKED THE HOLY HEL OUT OF XB1. ---- With that taken into consideration, and looking at Amazon data : (1)- PSN $20 Card (2)- PSN $10 Card (3)- PSN $50 Card (4)- MK8 for U (5)- PS Headset (6)- GTAV 360 (7)- XBLG $10 Card (8)- PS4 Bare Console (9)- XBLG 3mo Card (10)- X360 Controller --- (47)- $399 Xbox One (58)- PS4 Destiny Bundle Preorder (63)- WiiU 32GB Mario/Luigi Bundle (65)- Xbox 360 S The Xbox One Kinect bundles aren't even in the top 100 any more. Poof. The 360 is outselling XB w/Kinect. As for 360 players moving to PS4, they're already doing that en masse. Higher than normal sales of TLOU:HD will prove that (due to people not having played the game in the first place). Double-dippers are the more hardcore crazy people, and there really aren't that many of them. I could see a decent number of former PS3 players rebuying TLOU:HD if there were a good trade-up program, or later on for $19 or something, but $50? Nah, that's for the REALLY hardcore fans. Remakes overall are not going to be huge movers this gen, people overwhelmingly want fresh experiences and games not hobbled by old designs. |
EXCELLENT run down of where things stand...and I agree...Amazon, as one of the top US retailers of consoles, is a VERY good indication of where things stand!
I am also planning on buying TLOU for PS4...as I never played the original. I also think $50 is more than fair, since it also includes all of the DLC. I don't think they will have any problem selling this game...since there are well over 8 million people just WAITING for more software!
