I think we shouldn´t mesh up the sales report with the "trusted retail source" MVC are using.

MVC is the only one talking about previous week 72% increase and this 106% the last one.

So now we're not allowed to trust MVC because you don't like the numbers? 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Posted this in another thread.

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/titanfall-vs-infamous-two-next-gen-exclusives-compared/0130069

"MCV can also reveal that around one in four UK Xbox One owners purchased Titanfall. Meanwhile, around one in nine PS4 owners acquired InFamous: Second Son."

Using VGC figures, this would put sales at...

Titanfall W1 - ~120,000
Titanfall W2 - ~32,000(?)

InFamous Second Son - ~80,000

Someone correct me if Im wrong. Numbers rounded obviously.

Charttrack said it was the highest opening on PS4 in the UK after Killzone, so either our numbers are wrong or something's not right here. We have Fifa as the second highest opening after Killzone at almost 100k

doesnt it say "exclusive opening"?

It says: " thanks to ‘Infamous: Second Son’ which debuts as the second biggest week 1 PS4 new release"

I don't know, I thought this included multiplats as well, after all there have only been 3 retail Ps4 exclusives, so it seems weird to me to say "look Infamous is number 2 of those 3"

As I thought, Titanfall boost won't be boosting much of anything after two or three weeks. And to think, some people actually believed it alone would turn the  tides, lol.

I just heard of this site last week, when one of the guys twitter the 72% PS4 bump.

I don´t have to like or dislike any number to trust anything. In fact I don´t even trust VGChartz weekly number, as they are the only one reporting until NPD cames out.

VGChartz at least has a backtrack and I can fix their estimates.

My rule of tumb is : I only trust things that can be cross examined and have broad appeal. I won´t trust in a single report from a annonimous source that can't be verified. 

If Sony UK speak up about this +100% surge I might start think to belive MVC, until then they are side by side with insiderp.

SonyGaf is just a subset of the current NeoGaf forum.

They thrieved since last E3 and live in there made up world where the Xone is a total falure, that no one want to buy and there is nothing Microsoft can do to save it. They firmily belive PS4 is the most powerfull and perfect system ever built in the man kind history. That every PS4 game is automatcally very very good and those who think different are in denial.

They will grasp at any bit of information from random twitters that the Microsoft downfall is close and PS4 will reign alone as the ultimate game machine.

that sounds a lot like what you do, just for the other console

MGS selling well sets a bad precedent. I can't wait for Square-Enix to prologue me with FFXV and for Capcoms title screen. ONLY $40!

They've been doing that for years. I had to pay $50 for my FFXII and my FFX-2 demo. I also spent $70 for my XIII demo.

Its MCV not MVC and they are one of the biggest industry magazines in the UK, they are a sales and retail magazine for devs and shop owners, its not a gamers magazine so you probably wouldnt of heard of it.

Didn't expect MGS to do that well. 

Meanwhile, at Konami...

Does concern me this practice will gain traction. I plan on waiting for price to drop.

Sorry, but I never said the PS4 is doing bad and Sony is about to drop the console market due its terrible hadware.

PS4 is doing great, for now, and is a very capable machine with the prospect of great games.

But I don´t think the PS4 is the redeemer of gamers or is perfect in every single aspect.

The fact is that for SonyGaf the PS4 marketshare is 99% percent and every of its games shoud be considered a 90+ metacritic score. And oly deniers and fanboys would be insterested on the cleary inferior XOne.

Go there and read a few threads. It´s just baffleing.

You cleary don't know GAF and you are just a little pissed with PS4 success... it is normal.
