The Wii U is really putting a damper on my plans to mock next-gen Sony/MS console sales once they're out.

I swear; with how low the Wii U is setting the bar, it's gonna be outright impossible for PS4/720 to seem like they have anything but godly sales when they release. ;(

yeah here's what a user said in reply to a similar comment like yours

"Nope. A lot of confidence right now. PS Meeting will set a certain expectation for folks, and E3 will show you what to expect from the first year. Sony Worldwide Studios has geared up for Orbis for a long time now. There will be a steady stream of games from them. This isn't even including third party efforts, of which there will be two very notable exclusives for Sony fans."


what are the two third party exclusives? one i guess is the QD game. but what is the other? * secretly wishes for agent*


I think QD would be second party

whats the difference between second party exclusives and third party ones again?

Four week month, right?

Eh, I say 40-45k.


And to think, Rayman Legends could´ve made those numbers go up, even a little.

3rd parties get to keep their IPs, 2nd parties don't as they're published by Sony.

wtf is it true? 55k in a month?!


Less than 55k

@Banaking: I'm sure someone else can do a better job than me in defining these but for me a second party is a company not owned by SCE but still makes games only for them. QD is a second party at the moment. They have HR out, Beyond is coming out and is said they have another game after that. 

I think FF Versus would be a third party exclusive for example

ps: Actually Turkish's definition is much better

They just had one of the most massive month on month declines ever. Where's the stabilization?

If this doesn't cause a internal shakeup in Nintendo nothing will. More then anything I hope this will cause Nintendo to notice how oblivious they are to changing console market (Handhelds they understand) and have staff changes in both their corporate headquarters and in NOA who helped cause this mess with their inability to advertise.



Former something....
