Also, considering that VGChartz showed the XB1 winning April in the US... can we get a GAF mod to ban it from twitter also?












What an idiot. People continue to misunderstand what Vgchartz is.

It doesnt ever proclaim to be 100% accurate, and at times it will be completely off.

Shows how immature these so called "insiders" are. Even Pachter gives props to Vgchartz for what they do. GAF is just as bad to be honest, with their whole crusade against Vgchartz. Fucking assholes.

MAn how long are they gunna make us wait?



PS4 was 1,92 of X1 in Jan, so if it's close to that again, that would put PS4 at 215k aprox..

PS4 May so far is trending better than April so take from that what you will.


MLB bump or no?

Yup MLB was insane for a sports game on a userbase the size of the PS4. Also pre Watch Doge hype building

It still sort of dumbfounds me how mlb exclusivity just landed in playstation lap more or less by accident, for now at least.

Ben,  do the Watch Dogs numbers look good so far?

For a new IP pre-orders are DAMN good.

As long as reviews don't bomb it'll be the biggest next gen launch.

Do you think Destiny will be larger, though?

So you definitely think that Ubisoft will hit their projection of 6.6 million for Watch Dogs if it reviews well?

Depends really. Often times reviews aren't a big deal in regard to real world sales but I think they really matter for this game. Given the delay some people are a little unsure what to think.

That being said there's still a good amount of hype. I don't think 6.6 million will be that hard for them personally but if it bombs on reviews it could impact it big time.



People on Gaf saying Vita below 5K?

Good to hear. It sounds pretty much like what everyone else is saying. Oh and thanks for answering.

Destiny is going to be massive. I was referring to biggest launch so far YTD.

You guys want a REAL bomb to drop?

I'm feeling generous.

 

 

Destiny PS4 pre-orders are already near the same level as Titanfall's were launch week.
