too bad sony can't stock the console.. in the U.S if not they would have an actual gap..


The new set of shipments are coming in now. Amazon got one just a bit ago which was sold out and apparently gamestop got a new shipment too which is going on sale this weekend or something

Yep, and Wal-Mart announced they are getting the largest shipment of PS4 this weekend, too.  Even larger than their launch shipment.  I think Dec may go to Sony, as well.

Why does VGC have the WiiU at 1.73mil. Thats 200k overtracked. And people are betting it will easily achieve 10m by next month and Nintendo know what they are doing?



Ohhhh GAF make my day today... the list with OP reference.

PS. For me the best Manga serie ever created

Wiiu is doing sub Dreamcast levels overall, not just this month. I don't see it getting anybetter for the next year either


Dude, just read this.

Your link would be reasonable if the Wii U had just launched. It's a year old now, it's too late for a serious turnaround.

Did Walmart say how many consoles they were actually getting?



Around the Network

As I was mentioning in the other thread, sony not focusing on the Vita (since it has been disrupted by cell phones) is probably the best thing they did the past 12-18 months. It may sound bad on the surface but Sony has been a champion in home consoles, and they needed to keep that trend going. Trying to fight step /step with Nintendo would have been a losing effort as it took focus away from the PS4. Now with Nintendo you see them struggling on all fronts:

Nintendo franchises decline/fatigue in their biggest market
Nintendo baking on said franchises to help the Wii U during its time to turnaround the 3DS, fell right on its face.
2DS despite being cheaper failing to have an significant impact on overall 3DS sales
Nintendo is still no where near their original estimate for Wii U sales of 5.5 million

Black Friday is not the end all be all but is an important gauge for the rest of the year and next year and its like deja vu all over again.

Sony meanwhile can go to developers with these PS4 numbers and say hey, people are buying software, hardware just develop and the customers will come.



well I expect another 1 million month for ps4 come december..

if sony can ship over 4 million by the end of 2013 WW.. if not sub 1 M in the U.S

Not sure I understand the point you're trying to make. Listen vita and wiiu are both fucked in NA. Going into this holiday season Wiiu had big expectations on it. It had a price cut, mainline 3d mario game, bigger catelog of games compared to last year and some good bundles. Competition even has shortages to boot. The sales still suck. They expect it to sell around 9 mil for the financial year. It's fucked. And this is coming from a vita fan...I bet vita is like 100k or less lol

Nice. Looks like a large shipment is coming in. Guess amazon will have it on sale this weekend too then most probably
