It's got to start out good otherwise it will be really hard to change the image in the future ...

Well, if you were ever around during last gen then you know Sony is very good at doing that.

The PS3 was an exception not the rule ...

How was it an exception?

Sony practically had to pull all the stops for that to work. It wasn't until the PS3 slim with decent games that Sony started doing acceptable numbers. The 3DS is also another exception too seeing as how Nintendo had to do practically the same for it.

Yeah still not likely, a $250 console aimed at the casual market vs. a $400 console that lets be honest, isn't? The PS4 will probably be pretty close though.

I don't get why anything other than beating the fastest selling console of all time over the course of a full year is considered "bad news"

It's got to start out good otherwise it will be really hard to change the image in the future ...

What image? The image of a console that's selling really really well even in the face of a contracting console market? Why would they want to change that image?



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.

Lightning Returns beats Bravery Default by leagues! Hope NDP confirm this...

Should we really be happy about this?


I guess we should be happy a sucky rpg outsold a good one... Some people are just too blinded by being a fan of a system brand rather than good games.... I've played the lightning series and it's bad, and that's why sales are way down on their flagship series. Bd will sell pretty well in the end. "Let him be excited for the worst final fantasy ever, he's almost the only one.

Wasn't expecting Lego PS4 to outsell both X1 and WiiU versions :O. At least WiiU.

Anyone willing to compare FF sales to FFXIII-2?


XIII-2 PS3 was  

Week EndingWeekWeeklyChangeTotal
04th February 2012 1 295,951 N/A 295,951


XIII-2 360 was

Week EndingWeekWeeklyChangeTotal
04th February 2012 1 122,118 N/A 122,118


So its down by a combined ~100K. 

XIII-2 was massively overtracked at launch on VGC, I'm willing to be the same is the case for LR as it doesn't really follow the trend LR showed in JApan.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Xbox One approaching Vita numbers. Oh yeah, and PS4 undertracked obviously. :P

Yes the PS4 is undertracked, it's a reality we don't like so let's make up our own. Can you add some imaginary numbers to this?



Vita is dead in USA but god knows how ahead of XBO in EU O_O
Oh and sales on LR are awesome =D

It's far from selling well and this week just showed that's it's doing half decent. Just because one image looks better than the other doesn't mean that it will end up doing well. Sony still hasn't made the image yet for the PS4. It will only be until a year that it really starts to get a picture in the consumers eyes.

3DS is ridiculously overtracked again. It only sold 97k last month in the US, how is it selling 49k this week alone?


I guess ioi didn't hear about those "leaks"... Lol

I am

Can I ask why? Both games are from the same publisher and BD is supposed to be alot better than LR.

People suppose a lot of stuff.

It's important for people to stick to FF games even in the worst of times. That way we can postpone its inevitable mobile-only fate for a bit longer.

I'd prefer postponing that by buying FFXV, the game I wanted since 2006 and which had to take the backseat twice already because of XIII-2 and XIII-3, instead of encouraging SE to make more games in the FFXIII universe which me and alot of people are sick and tired of, I still can't believe they wasted a whole console generation on this.
