Forums - Sales Discussion - Global SW & HW UP!! - Week ending Feb 8 (ADJUSTMENTS - PS4 157k, X1 54k, WiiU 36k - PS4 64% marketshare)



We have a gen 6 in our hands here, only with lower sales. I hope after the Japanese launch and when it's in stock everywhere PS4 will see massive numbers, because MS and Nintendo are not gonna carry the gaming market at the moment, and these numbers are depressing.

Okay, I admit, one of those sales for 360 in japan this week was me.. sorry T_T

Forums are going to get salty enough to melt the February snow after Japanese launch.



PS4 is on a freaking roll. After the Japan launch we should see 250K or more every week. Looks like they will have well over 500k consoles for launch in Japan.

Will be interesting to see how things go once Live TV, VOD, PPV, and PSNow hit the US in the summer. Add on E3, Gamescom, and TGS which should be packed with game announcements, and PlayStation looks like it has a massive amount of content to push this gap even further.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Wii U is up YOY :) But only by 100 sales.


lol, i suppose its better than being down. I hope Donkey Kong can give a slight boost to keep it ahead :D

I wonder if Wii U can get above Xbox one.



Did MS set a target sales figure for their fiscal year?

XBO only 12k in Europe. Jesus. They need to launch in more countries as soon as possible, these are WiiU level sales. Looks like my earlier prediction of the XBO passing the WiiU this year isn't going to happen. It's going to take quite a while. The PS4 may not have PS2 level sales but it's going to have a similar market share.


Yes It'll help a lot, you know we can order it from amazon with free shipping?. :)



Oh look! The Vita got bumped from 4k to 5k in America! Time to celebrate!

3DS is most likely overtracked by a lot. Just like in January.



Holy crap that 360 drop, this may be its last year.

Okay, so is this going to be a repeat of Gen 7? I do think PS4 won't be NEAR PS2's numbers, but man, One and Wii U.... shoot. At this point, I want all console manufacturers to remain decent now, which seems to be a tall order. Nintendo is looking real bad there, but handhelds... man they got that down.


Nintendo and MS have only themselves to blame.

NIntendo shunned 3rd parties, gave their online platform little attention, didn't prepare for the upcoming HD puberty and still chased the diamond shitting unicorn with casual gamers. We see the result of that now: no multiplats, massive software droughts and attempts of getting casuals failed.

Microsoft: hubris, acting high and mighty, pretty funny considering they never won a gen. They gave little attention to games(they even announced it as a TV/sports/media box). They thought they "outgrew" gaming and wanted to be the media center of the living room, gaming was only part of what the box could do. They anticipated Kinect 2 to be another huge success without realizing it doesnt do that much more than the original, yes it has extra features and more accurate but it is still the same product.

 

Sony did everything right: by gamers for gamers, they knew very well the early adopters are hardcore fans, but PS4 transcended the gaming medium and became a social phenomenon. It's announcement youtube video had over 30 million views, more than any super bowl commercial. You see actors posting tweets how they sleep with their PS4(Nathan Fillion), porn stars advertising how you can go to their website on PS4 etc. They cant produce enough to keep up with the demand.
