Gran Turismo 6 didn't even chart.


Icing on the cake.


We had the "before" photo from ethomaz unintentionally. Now we need the "after" photo as well.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

You write the word "tagged", then the thread appears in your buddy on the left of the screen.


im waiting for your gifs or ar we waiting for the WiiU doom post?

Yep, you'll have to wait until then. If I'm still awake, ofcourse (hitting midnight here now).

It's all rather tense, isn't it?

so tense i peed my pants

""Hardware sales of the Wii U were also positive with December 2013 marking its highest month for unit sales month so far," NPD analyst Liam Callahan noted"

Wii U better than expected! Right?

People are really arguing over a few k? Is it worth it?

Sure, the XOne could have sold 2.9mil in reality, and the PS4 could have sold 4mil. Is it that big a deal? Just look at the differences in the figures, that's over a million either way! Surely people can just be happy with that and not bother arguing over the trivial details.

No, PS4 really couldn't have sold 4m...Why would anyone "round up" from 4m to 4.2m? That's not how it works.

True, but I was merely trying to point out the big difference in sales figures, which are only going to grow (most likely), making the whole argument pretty trivial.

And why would you even doubt official numbers anyway? They're "official" for a reason, after all. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Kudos to MS for pulling such a stunt :P

Xbone know sales.

US: 1817k
UK: 364k
Germany: 100k
Spain: 35k
France: 100k * I'm being optimistic

2400k

So 600k in Canada, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and New Zelandia?

Canada + Mexico is close to 10% US sales.

Brazil I could give you anything from 20k to 30k.

Australia I´ve heard they sold 50k launch week, so, another 100k with NZ total.

Yep, MS wasn´t lying.

you just write "tagged" as a post.

On topic:

Good 3DS  numbers

Abysmal WIi U numbers

II am curious, where did you find your wiiU/3ds numbers?



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

PR From MS:

During the month of December, Xbox One held six of the top 10 spots on the new generation console game title list: “Battlefield 4,” “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” “Ryse: Son of Rome,” “Madden NFL 25” and “Call of Duty: Ghosts” (Source: NPD Group, December 2013).

180k + 30k + 100

Still missing 300k.

Congrats to Sony and PS4 for winning the holidays in the US! (Nov+Dec sales) Who would have thought earlier this year that Sony would sell more units then X1 in the US during the first Christmas. The North America market share is going to look a lot different this time around.

Very true.  The PS4 probably still has a 100K gap on the One, and that's mostly because Sony is worried about WW, not just one region.  In the end, even if Xbox takes the US, the ratio is only going to be like 1.2:1, which won't do much against the ratio in EU and Japan for the PS4.  I guess you got to claim victories where you can.
