So much for GT6.

People need to really understand how amazing it is that Nintendo keeps their franchises relevant for so long, it's not an easy thing to do.

I hope you're going to post in the GT7 thread when its released.  I think you're going to be disapointed. 


Honestly Sony can't sell software for sh*t the last two holidays. 

LBP Karting - Bomb

Playstation All-Stars - Bomb

GT6 - Dissapointment

Killzone Vita - Bomb

Tearaway - Bomb

Puppeteer - Bomb

They need third parties to carry them. Uncharted 4 will sell great though, so I guess there's that. 

The Last of Us? Killzone Shadow Fall? Beyond? 

TLOU just hit 4 million.  I'm not saying thats bad by any means but if thats the best Sony can do then they will have some serious problems moving forward, unless pretty much everything they release can get to 4 million.   DKCR on the Wii sold 6 million, and people act like Tropical Freeze will have zero impact on Wii U sales.

To be fair though, DK is an old-established franchise, and TLOU was a new IP. Also, who is saying that Tropical Freeze won't have an impact on Wii-u sales?

And Killzone PS4? Only the top selling PS4One exclusive, and one of the top selling next gen games.

Oh, let him cherrypick.  It's funny.  He's going to be in for some real disappointment this gen, especially harping on GT6's "poor" sales.

i honestly want rol to be a mod, even though i would guess there is a 50% chance i would get permabanned as soon as he gets his mod powers.

i dont want to be head mod, but just give me the ability to ban, thats all i am asking for

I'm fine with that

I'm slightly confused by those numbers. Why did the PS4 beat the X1 in week three and what does that tell us? Could it be that Sony shipped extra consoles for the Christmas sales?



 

The PS5 Exists.

I am so happy that today is NPD day and that ioi shut up those guys who doubted VGchartz the last weeks.

I have no problem with reading some comments about people who believe and think PS4 will sell the most in december in USA, especially when they come up with reasons why that will happen. But I can't stand to read how somebody calls VGchartz wrong and how everyone who thinks Xbox one is first is totally wrong...without any source.

I hope moderators can be more strict about that kind of behaviour in the future, it is annoying.

And really thanks ioi to come in this thread, I wished you did that more often.


take of the goggles. VGC was 30% off 360 sales and is looking to be off on Wii U massively too. Ps4 and XB1 had numerous official updates. if they start banniing for speaking the truth it would be like the third reich 

No NPD is wrong about the X360 numbers..,  I don't have a source but I just know..

You will see..

^   That is exactly how someone behaved and my point, it is annoying and I really dislike to see discussions like that on Vgchartz.

The 2014 holiday period will be the real battle - 2013 was just the opening skirmish.


I agree 100 percent.    From the looks if it it the gap between Xbone and Wii U is only 400k, which when looking at past generations sales is a decent size gap but nothing that can't be overcome in future years.   The 360 in December 2012 beat the PS3 last year by over a million in the US.

It's a valid criticism. Fact is a lot of their 1st/2nd party efforts the last two holidays have done very poorly. If it was Nintendo or MS, it would be all over these boards. Gran Turismo is a declining franchise.
