when you look at that, it isn't that bad...

the ps4 is still easily the fastest selling console in US history.. and the xbox one is 2nd.....

Jesus lord, what a horrible graph.

Interesting. None of that is great really is it.

Ps4 will drop further this month and begin looking bad, ONE will look horrible this month. It's all down to E3 and the aftermath.


Ps4 to drop this month? LOL. no.



so, who pulled the PS4 numbers out of his/her ass?



So by the end of May, PS4 lead over X1 will be about 500k

Titanfall is over tracked by about 200K

inFamous SS over tracked by about 100k

PS4 under tracked about 50k-100k?

XOne overtracked by about 150k-200k?



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

Ouch those xbox one sales are awful. No wonder they dropped the kinect. Not even bundled titanfall could do anything. Price isn't the issue with the console

 

360:

April 2006 - 295K

April 2007 - 174K

April 2008 - 188K

April 2009 - 175K

April 2010 - 185K

April 2011 - 297K

April 2012 - 236K

April 2013 - 130K



Xbox One:

April 2014 - 115K


Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.

People shouldn't be sad and doom the console industry. They should be happy and doom individual consoles :)

Like the Vita? How about that >4k? Yikes! Deader than dead! :D

Here was one of the highlights of the thread:

 

 

And I had to include this too, such a good gif. This was kowenicki's response to the XBO numbers:

Laugh it up now! HELLO THERE! Infamous SS outsold Ghosts on PS4, who cares about Titanfall, totally destroyed by Infamous LMAO

We got an NPD newbie right here.  Cough bundles cough. Where dat 2:1 gone ?

300k for PS4 you said...? What's happening?


I said close, and it may be very close to 2:1, after all ,that 199K number here is VERY bogus. LMAO. LMAO at your sorry prediction of Xbone only being outsold by 40K or so, LMAO!!!!!!



I know there were some people believing that this generation would be up over last generation sales numbers wise. Do these people still believe that? Because I just don't see it. Even PS4's number is not all that great. I mean, it's something, yeah, but considering it's the leading platform right now...

And than there's PS Vita. Holy shit. 3,5k units in 4 weeks is absolutely horrible. Comes close to 360's performance in Japan. SCEA really ought to do something about that, but I think they just won't give a shit anymore.

On the other hand, good performance for Conception 2, and I'm actually surprised the 3DS version did as much as 13k. Not too bad for a game that niche in the US.

Well well well, three predictions came true this week.

#1 MS will release an XB1 without Kinect this year.
#2 April sales of XB1 will plummet as it's retail price returned to $499 from $449.
#3 Cats rule.

May sales will be lower still since people will wait or pre-order the $399 model.

I think that last one was already confirmed a few thousand years ago by thuway.


Still, re-confirmed this week.
