Not trying to flame/hate/troll here I just find this kinda funny, has anyone else noticed how Xbox fans have been pretty much missing in action in the threads for the new charts for a couple weeks now? Strange isn't it? :D


Some are banned others are in a thread claiming the 360 is ahead of the PS3 still or some nonsense.  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=177804

I was just thinking the same thing actually. Not that I blame them. It's not a happy place for them.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

3DS is pretty meh. PS4 is doing nicely though, still above 150k woo.

Wii U is also meh, but didn't drop at all which is nice.

Xbox 360 is dying a quick death it seems.



Amazing! PS4 TR slayed XBone one!



The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns

SONY Bring them BACK for PS4 and VITA!

Top three break down:
PS4 - Per usual. Still selling very well, even without a very large starting library.
3DS - Holding up a really nice second place number, there! Needs more game release, soon.
XBO - Dear Lord... The XBO really is dropping scarily fast in Europe. US number still good, of course

Everything is up, as well. Interesting... Are there adjustments or what?

They should just take their lumps and look to the future.  Nintendo fans have had to sit through weeks on end where the console was selling 20k per week, and it was the laughing stock of the gaming community.  Now it's selling a little better, and with big titles on the way it seems like a very realistic possibility that it will be the #2 console this generation.   It's doing close to Gamecube numbers and the Gamecube had Smash Bros,Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid, Starfox, and just more quality titles in general compared to the Wii U.   Microsoft right now is really banking on Titanfall and I really don't want to be a big mood killer to the Xbox fans but when Halo 3 was released it sold over 3 million copies in a week but only saw increased console sales of 41% and then within 5 weeks was right back to selling the same ammount that it was before it came out.    The Xbox One is going to need to ditch the Kinectless model for $350 - $400 with a free copy of Titanfall or Halo to have any hopes of really catching up to the PS4 in terms of weekly sales. 



The PS4 is putting up some decent numbers here ...

Nothing can be done for X1 to catch PS4 sales now, they might as well accept 2nd and try to do as well as they can.

Wiiu wont be 2nd, its been out long enough to guess where it will end.  X1 for all the shit it gets being compared to the godly PS4 is doing quite freaking good being released last and at 500 bucks and with no games woth buying.



Things can change

Yep! Again not trying to flame or anything but my guess is a lot are banned defending the console in too robust a manner. I am basing this on a few recent post so it is definitely not scientific.

They will be back for the financial reports.
