You know what? you are totally right and im wrong!!! How could i´ve been so blind. The gaming industry is healthy. We can play one GTA every 3 years and meanwhile some indie games in the best selling console of all time.

What indie game is the best selling console game of all times?

You didn´t get the point.

What is your point?

My point is that one big seller like GTA doesn`t sustain the industry. You need a lot "GTA`s" per year and saddenly thats not the case. In fact, the minority of the games dont make a profit, and thats why developers are closing their studios.


No, you dont need a lot of games that break 1 billion dollar revenue in 3 days, that's idiotic. Naughty Dog's Uncharted games are what you'd consider AAA in every regard, yet they are much less expensive to create (<20m$) and are always profitable.

If the product is good, it'll make a profit, if its not, it wont. Its the same basic concept in every single industry. But lets not kid ourselves. If Nintendo was on top, you'd be singing a very different tune.

That´s not true at all.

I give up

Everything finally up. Updated OP.

3DS got a 20% jump from nowhere in Europe. Explain, anyone?

PS4 software in Europe about to outsell WiiU software.

More people buying because 3DS sales went up by 20% (seriously, Pokemon went up by a few hundred units, not significant).

Yeah, Pokemon isn't a reason since it was a constant week over week. What you say here is precisely what I'm asking for; some possible reasons for the jump. Don't be afraid!

Is it possible that VGChartz made an error and put that jump there due to BD releasing in America?


Of course vgc could have made an error, in fact its by far the most likely scenario. But at the same time vgc has been undertrackin XY sales in Europe for the longest(i wouldn't be surprised if it still is weekly). We still have almost a million sales unaccounted for(ok more like 600k-800k).

Im saying its a possibility. Besides i never seen you say anything wen vita gets a hardware bump with new releases :p

What? You said it yourself. Vita got new releases this week, which explains the small jump (smaller than the 3DS jump by far...). 3DS didn't get anything as far as I know, in Europe.


i ****ed up, i meant no new releases. 

Edit: I dont mean this week.

It goes up 33% without any releases

also before you try to say holiday boost, it goes down the following week and this is in the month of Oct

Twitch Plays Pokemon is responsible for the 3DS bump.

Irrefutable, factual, reliable.
