Literally one of the biggest Nintendo franchises releases and they still can't beat PS4? What the hell is wrong with gamers! Nintendo is releasing actual legit good quality games and yet PS4 rises from nothing! Maybe last year I could understand Wii U selling less because of launch hype from PS4 and the library was bad until the end but now there's no excuse.


Shame on those bad people for actually having good taste, choosing the best console and wanting to play something than another rehash. Shame.

electronic arts will be really mad missing their opportunity on PS4 with Watch Dogs PS4 doing more in 1 week than Titanfall One in 3 months


Yup! EA is kicking themselves for such a supid decision.

Nevermind, I checked the "Hardware by date" tool, and it's true.

Damn, I expected the XBO numbers to be much higher... Even Watch Dogs didn't move the sales...
Dem WiiU numbers tho ! I sincerely hope it will last !


The XB1's numbers are dropping in anticipation of the new sku.  Most people(not game forum dwellers) are waiting for the price drop.  If they would shop around, they would have figured out they can get the current XB1 with Kinect and a game or 2 for the $499.  Essentially the same price.


Most people I know offline could careless about the X1 regardless of price. The cheaper model (not a price drop since they are removing Kinect) has not seen high demand and this is just an excuse Xbox fans use to defend the cappy sales. OS4 will still dominate it at the same priice with multiplats selling better.

It's how fans refer to them, not everyone is a fan thinking " they have money, so they cant lose the generation, money buys victory ", some people are not blind and know the xbox division has not unlimited budget, in fact we know the total budget allocated in games.


They wouldnt put 1/10 of their total budget in Titanfall, to not even get an exclusive, otherwise, that would be awfully disappointing for both parts.

doubt it, we don't know anything about the contract with MS


i doubt that it was close to what they would have made with and extra 2mil copies sold. 

60 mil doesn't seem out of the question


They paid 50 millions for GTA expension for 6 month if it's an exclusivity forever i think they paid over 200 millions



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
