More than VGChartz was traking...

As we know PS4 could be 115k for the information Sony has release.


And nobody was lining up for the Ps4 in Jan right?

LOL at the usual suspect trying to downplay anything Sony related. 4 months in a row baby!

360 says 32 months in a row baby

damn @ XB1 sales now im worried for PS4 numbers considering VGC has PS4 at or below XB1 for the month

Don't even bother looking at VGC numbers. Sometimes they are lucky and get their guesses righ but most of the time they are wrong.

I guess participating in those fun prediction leagues has become rather pointless.

yes and no, while predicting the correct numbers is not the same, its still interesting to see what vgc has as output


Well, maybe VGC should join the league. They seem to be doing the exact same as us - guessing!

I honestly believe Titanfall being exclusive didn't help EA nor Microsoft. I imagine the sales vs the amount of marketing and the cost of development vs their publishing and royalty revenue isn't looking very profitable at this point.

Hmm so it would mean that last gen consoles sell quite a lot of software still in NA, since ISS is not even in top 10. At least that Sony statement wasn't such a marketing spin like it sounded.

Shouldn't we expect PS3/360 SW sales to be ahead of the PS4/One for quite some time, given the gross, gross disparity in hardware sales?


Yeah sure, although I didn't expect it to be that much.  Of course we don't have hard numbers just positions on a table, but if the tweet is correct it puts things into perspective. Myabe the patterns are different, but in UK weeklies PS4/X1 software seem to be vastly stronger compared to NPD. They not only are frontloaded but a lot of games have pretty strong legs as well.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

The 360 is old news, it's irrelevent to the X1 vs. PS4 comparisons.

And why weren´t they lining up last month? You know, Best Buy has lots o PS4 in stock. right now.

PS4 situation is not much better than the XOne. Even a 200k sales, that I doubt, would put the allmight PS4 behind 360´s 2007 numbers.

And Sony has runway with cards to play.

Not to mention the % amount of copies given away for free which still failed to bring it close to PS4.
