I told people that XY count separately, thats why its not in the top 10!


I said the same, why is vgchartz always undertracking pokemon


vgc has it at 3.17mil (us) with digital sales should definitely be 3.25mil, so its on tracked, its just undertracked (here) in Europe+Rest of the World by a big margin still!

CBOAT confirmed a Kinect-less SKU coming Summer at the earliest for $400. Microsoft seems to be getting a bit desperate.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Holy Shit PS4 2 to 1 over XBO in the US? That's crazy!
Congrats to Sony on a hell of a month! So that insider (Thurway?) a few weeks ago was right when he said Sony had a good month and MS had a bad month.

Also, I am looking at last months NPD thread and there are quite a few posters missing in tonight's thread..hmmmm :)



Apparently, sony wasn't including handhelds in their Ps3+Ps4 > all other systems statement. It is pure speculation, but it would make a lot more sense.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Comparing January 2007 to this January....there's a huge decline in hardware sales, even if we were to estimate one week less for 2007. No one came close to the demand for Wii, and PS4 barely edged close to PS3's first January (low supply I guess, but Wii was also in that state (likely in much higher demand too) and it sold much more), and XB1 was well below 360. Wii U is......Wii U....I don't think I wanna know the state of the Vita....

#dooomed?!?!?!

There is a huge decline, but I wouldn't say the industry is doomed (handheld maybe) but more that MS and Nintendo haven't been able to provide gamers with what they want.

Also regarding the Wii it should be noted that it had freakishly large sales in its first couple years but then dropped way earlier than the 360 or PS3, so a console doesn't need to outsell the Wii now to have a chance at beating its lifetime numbers.

It will be interesting to see how things go.  The Wii had some of the most ridiculous Holiday numbers over the 1st few years ever.  December 2009 alone saw 7.4 million console sales.  It's going to be hard for Sony to sell that level of consoles during a holiday season, expecially if they can't figure out how to get their supply going.  The Wii fell off fast but by the end of 2011 it was already at 93 million consoles.  It was already pretty much at saturation anyways.

This was just posted on GAF. Let your math skills flow freely as you try and decipher what the exact numbers are like :)

Should be clarified that these represent first dec > jan drop.

Thanks for that. I'm jiggling both GAF and VGC at the same time. Etho usually does this, i'm not as fast :D

Math yo.

145 XBONE, around 300 for PS4.

What?

I got 285k as an estimate for PS4 from this cart.



Yea it would be tough to include the 3DS number in there and still have PS4 + PS3 outsell everything else.  It's not like the PS3 is doing that well in America.

Some interesting numbers:

1st January PS3 - 244K

1st January 360 - 249K

1st January Xbox One - approx. 143K

1st January PS4 - approx. 286K

1st January WiiU - 57K

Both PS3 and 360 had 5 weeks, though.

And wii u

It did?? Oh, wow. Even more terrible than I remembered


That's why my bet/prediction in my sig is kinda complex.

 

Just month to month though,

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Assuming rest of world is not undertracked on here.

OMG !!! WTF !!

You were right ! O_o

 

and so was ethomaz when he said PS4 was understracked and One overtracked !! I cant wait to see his reaction, we need to unban him !

For Dec he made a "I was wrong, sorry" thread and got bashed... will all those guys make individual threads saying, "you were right, forgive us" or will just hide?

just hide...like pathetic trolls i am guessing

34% drop. What did you use as your starting number?

Also we now can use this:



Looking over at Greenberg's Twitter and not seeing an arrogant smug post about being number 1 = Priceless!
