Holy shit, those WiiU numbers. If these numbers are true, then that's what you call a system seller. Based on VGC numbers lately, I'll wait for NPD, but good job if that's the case. 

VGC has been pretty accurate with PS4 numbers all year, so I think I can take those numbers at face value. However, I find it hard to believe that if WD could almost double PS4 sales, it didn't nothing for the XBone. I know the price cut is coming up soon, so that may be a reason. But it hasn't been advertised at all. And according to some people around here, only us forum goers know about news like that. The "average gamer" doesn't have a clue a price cut is coming (since it hasn't been advertised).....so why would the XBone not get a boost in sales from WD?

Really?  I've seen it plastered across TV around here (VT).  Others have said the same.

Those Xbox One numbers aren't that great compared to the boost that the PS4 got. And yes, I do understand that Watch Dogs is seen as a PS4 exclusive, but still. That Kinectless sku needs to hurry up and come out for Microsoft.

Watch_Dogs numbers on Gen 8 are insane when you consider the size of the userbase, with it being a new IP.

Outstanding.

Hopefully this pushes even more devs into releasing games during the Summer. The Last of Us did reaaaally well in 2013 and Watch_Dogs just amazed everyone in 2014.

What will 2015's Summer blockbuster be?!


Probably that Ubisoft or was it Activision lol, game that got delayed into 2015. It looked like Watch Dogs, but more FPSy. I've forgotten the name

The Devision?



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Wii U did better than I expected. I expected about 120k.

I got a funny feeling it will be a few thousand ahead of the XO

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Got to say if PS4 gets TLOU in june, i think it will cake walk that month too in the US.

Probably.  While a remake, it is a great game to remake.  It was one of the last AA exclusives from last gen.  And those who were 360-only gamers and have switched over (or are planning to switch), will definitely want to pick it up.  There's also the fact that there being a gap on  performance will remain free advertising for the PS4.  It doesn't help that, so far, the $399 One isn't performing very well on Amazon and Gamestop.  In fact, on Amazon, the Kinect bundles are beating it quite handedly.

Then, you also have E3 in less than a week.  I think Sony is going to have much more to show that will get more people excited about the PS4.  They have 8 booths, while MS only has 2.  This tells me that most of thenew games MS are going to show are going to be, yet again, either 3rd party exclusives (most likely timed) or multiplats with timed exclusive DLC.  So, there is just going to be more of a reason to buy a PS4.

I think TLOU will only release in August
but yes if it was released this month it'd be another cake walk for Sony

Well it will be close and fun. If MK8 had release a week earlier then we could be sure of second place. How much do you think x1 will boost from May to June NPD? I think between 25-50%.
