1.1m ps3's shipped last quarter. 1.0m 360's shipped.  Just some background for you. 

Point? relevance?

NPD is a source, estimated. Vgc is a source, estimated.

Shipments are a source, fact. 

Its good to formulate opinions based on all available sources of information. That's all. 

Interesting how the tables have turned over the past few years...

How embarresing to be exposed like this, not like we didn't know this, but this just speaks volumes. Some people will never see the truth even if you smash their heads into it lol.

Anyways, The PS3 is on fire lately and the PSP is slowing down i see. Also i don't know why Nintendo announced the WiiU pricecut so long before it actually happened. Not a smart move! The holidays will be VERY interesting to follow.


when will the actual price cut be?

September 20th. Also there is no price cut in the UK! Someone could correct if that's changed.

i bet they was, considering they were selling it for 60 bucks initially...which it had no business being that high in the first place. Soon as price dropped more people bought

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn did amazing O.o

I guess they counted Ragnarok Odyssey Ace as more of a "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" and less of a "God Eater Burst" and counted the sales on top of the original version of the game; rather than separately.

Oh well. That'll boost it up the Vita bestsellers list, I suppose.

Then here's a question: if it outsold its predecessor, if Ubisoft is profiting heavily from its sales at that price, and they are pleased with its sales in general -- in what way is the game considered a flop? Just why? Because it didn't sell GTA numbers?

FF14 is awesome, been playing since launch day.
