sTOCK. ;P

You can keep saying that but stock wasn't the only factor for high sales.

I can and will. We both know it was the #1 factor and Infamous was never a system seller. This game is no game changer to the IP either. So I stand by my opinion.

Yup, that's why inFAMOUS SS had a 100% boost in pre orders in comparison to inFAMOUS 2.

Wait you can use percentages and I can't? Thats hypocritical. :(

Damn XOne holding over 100k. If the PS4 stock and Infamous+MGS didn't sway people from buying a Xbox, we could see it still over 100k next week.

Edit: At this rate, the Xbox One should outsell the Wii U easily by the end of 2014.


Wii U has 2-3 system sellers this year, especially Mario Kart 8 and SSB, on the other hand, XB1 has...Halo 2 Remake, i dont think it'll outsell wii U by the end of the year 

Watch Dogs

Batman AK

Assassins Creed Unity

Urban Battlefield spinoff

???

Thanks to SCEA's amazing management the Vita will probably reach   Wii numbers in America pretty soon. Thank God for Japan, am I right?

Ahh there's the reality check! Awesome PS4 sales, over 200k, now that's a boost! :)


Its actually not that much of a boost. Yeah its over 200k but its not the 108% boost that X1 received. 

Percentages are deceiving. Seems to me like they both got the same boost in pure numbers, or thereabouts. PS4 boost was mostly due to the new inFAMOUS-related PS4 stock coming in though

True, while X1 boost was just Titanfall

Sales is that you?

And a price cut, basically. 

I am sure many people bought a PS4 for inFAMOUS this week though. After all, people buy consoles for the games, right?

Yup. I'm sure the X1 boost was because of Titanfall...Nothing due to a 50-100$ price cut lmao. Titan fall was basically given out for free.

Edit - and according to some, people buy consoles just to look at them in their home. Nothing to do with the games. Boosts come from stock, not games! Derp!

The consensus in this site is that PS4 has no gamez... so it is selling due I don't know.

90k boost during Infamous week, system seller confirmed!!!!!



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Its not going to stay at that rate cuz its going back down and wiiu will obviously be up more than this baseline during MK8+SSB releases. X1 will surpass wiiu in 2015 imo. Titanfall is the only big game for the first half of the year and X1 didn't get as high as M$ wanted it.
