Genuinely surprised about Bravely Default in a good way. I wonder if Square-Enix will make it a higher priority franchise.

The 3DS seems to be able to do OK with mideval/fantasy themed core titles ... Fire Emblem surprised last year, now Bravely Default this year. Maybe Nintendo and their third party partners need to take a clue and make more games in this vein.

Dark Souls 3DS pls


Nintendo should honestly make a new action/RPG fantasy series themselves with a dash of Game of Thrones mixed with some fantasy ... I think that could take (more action oriented, less Zelda-ey).

I am surprised that both Nintendo and MS have already given their PR. Now we wait for Sony, I'm sure they'll write something down since PS4 is first and infamous is coming

Well they still have that pesky little Vita, which they probably have nothing positive to share about.

Didn't stop Nintendo from writing something about 3DS almost exclusively before

When was the last time Sony had anything to even say about the vita? Even if nintendo didn't say anything we still know that its doing good, just nowhere near as much as it did in the past.

Do Sony have anything to do with the Vita in the US?



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Shhhhhhhh!!!

tbf I said I had no idea. Ethomaz was 100% certain as usual.  

Edit.. Wha.. He's banned. Oh bugger. 


Yeah, it's very strange to me actually how he always seems 100% certain about his predictions. Anyway, he was right about the PS4 being UT.


Ethomaz makes those predictions just to get a reaction out of people. Lots of posters are behaving like this lately. Just go through this thread...theres so many posts posted for the sole purpose to piss a fanbase off or something along those lines.

Sad he is banned again, I don´t know why, since he is such a reseanable guy to debate...

Kind of puts this weeks numbers into perspective don't it?

Yes. Due to Sony's March 2 6M WW announcement, we know PS4 is as overtracked in Europe as undertracked has been in USA.


They actually said "surpassed 6M" so there is no guarantee of overtracking anywhere.

Nobody waits to announce a milestone, and 100K is almost a week of sales. There's no guarantee of overtracking, but it's likely.

Considering VGC thinks PS4 sells just ~30-40k/week in the US after averaging ~75k/week in February I am sure the numbers are fine.



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)

Retro could do it, Dark Souls is basically designed like a Metroid game.

On the off chance that Nintendo lets Retro actually work on some original IP, fantasy/mideval probably would be the best bet then.

So is pretty much safe to say X1 will win March. Good

I wouldn't say it was safe, unless the Infamous and MGS bundle don't sell any consoles at all.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


thismeintiel on 13 March 2014

So, most people got their tax refund in February, so price wasn't as much of an issue, and the PS4 was still the #1 preferred console. Nice. Even more impressive considering they were still having stock issues because of WW demand and, more importantly, the Japan launch. March is going to be fun. Seems the Titanfall Bundle is the thing to buy if you are buying a One, which seems to be selling decently, but not setting the charts on fire. And Sony seems to be flooding the US with PS4 stock in preparation for Infamous. I'm going to say that Sony is going to win March, too.
