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

Are we seriously having this conversation again? I'm not going to bother trying to convince you, if you want to be willfully ignorant and ignore verified leakers then be my guest.  



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Those Xbox One numbers ;_;

My prediction is dead, unless the Titanfall Beta boosts numbers at the end, but that is highly unlikely.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

No, just simply pointing out that it would seem as though ioi didn't get the memo about the "leaks", that's all!

I think people are being a little gloomy about the market. The PS2 gen was very healthy, and if this continues it would be the same model. There's a Japan launch and high demand for PS4.

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?

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. 

The average consumer isn't checking historical console sales data. They are going to see that the PS4 is outselling it's two main rivals by a large margin. Out of the current crop of consoles the PS4 is possibly the only one that doesn't need to worry about it's 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.

This doesn't sound good for the PS4 ...

I'm not worried, less sales now means a bigger Japan launch, all the stock will be sold in the end anyway so this week is bad but next week will be massive.

I doubt that Sony is with holding that much stock just for japan ...


I agree with you. 

People are overestimating PS4's impact in Japan.

If it doesn't do atleast 500K in japan then the PS4 may not be the real deal as I had hoped ...


I'm predicting 250k at launch and 500k until the end of its first month there.

Actually it does need to worry about it's image ... Just because your at the top spot doesn't mean your out of the rat race just yet ...

All system doing bad =/= PS4 doing amazing

I hope your wrong otherwise that means that the WII U did better in it's launch than the PS4 ...
