Thanks for your stupid inconsistent PR MS -.-

I wanted to find out how many X1 games were sold overall in the US this January, so I wanted to use the attachment rates from December (2.9) and January (2.7), turns out they added digital downloads to the sales in December but didn't in January, how backwards is that?

Totally forgot this was a thing. Let's see...

Well, Wii U disappoints but we kinda knew the VGC numbers were too high. It's not disastarous, but it could, and should, be better. PS4>XO doesn't surprise, but the margin does. Pretty healthy falls for both, but now the stock is (mostly) sorted out, can the PS4 hold well also?

SW, eh. All I know is, the overall scene is not looking great, for pretty much everything. Still early days though.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

We are in a dire need of a Jack Trenton gif about "The enviroment where Playstation dominates is the best for the industry".

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.

They said "platforms". Handhelds are platforms, too. Anything else is racism!


I agree. Those big time Vita sales are what pushed SONY over the top.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I'm it?  Shit.

Edit: Oh, and there does seem to be a real lack of the same people who were in the Dec thread talking about how MS was going to easily take the US.  By the time Titanfall (the game that's supposed to push One sale HUGE) comes out, the gap will probably be ~500K+ in the PS4's favor, and that's just in the US.  I doubt that one game is going to push the One to close that kind of gap.

Do you remember how this kind of gap happened in 2007? People were saying it was mathematically impossible for the PS3 to catch up. But it did. No one knows how things will look in SEVEN years.

Xbox One will be recieving basically all third party games no matter how badly it sells. This gives room for exclusives, even if they're in like 2017, to allow it to close a gap.

Come one the whole PS3 recovered so can this console does not work at all.  They lack correlation of circumstances and strength and weaknesses for it to work.  

its just grasping at straws.

The difference is Sony had historic of dominance and support, and even with all shit on launch they still had loyal fans supporting it, don't think MS have the same level of support from fans.

The ps3 was 499/599 when ppl said it was doomed.. Clearly nobody was going to buy a 599 console
