MK8 is still moving consoles. Very good for WiiU.  And PS4 will be around 110k the week ending 21st, while XBone back to 40k, and WiiU 60k. My forecast.

It's funny how some XBox hot fans continue to believe that the match can still be PS4 VS XBone, when the only match they could have is WiiU VS XBone.

This is its 3rd week and its already in the 60k's. To be Nintendo's biggest game this year that is not "Very good for Wii U"


Well, your right about the 'not very good'; I should have used 'enough good'(no irony).  WiiU was in the 35k-40k range if I'm not wrong, so keeping the console 70/80% higher is not bat at all, I would say good compared to the previous standard, but not good considering PS4 numbers, all is subjective.

WiiU beast even the top 3k from japan wouldn't have helped



Switch!!!

Wii U did a much better job last week. They need some games out now to make sure it still stays up there.

Lol so yeah unbundling kinect did nothing like most predicted. I wonder if they are ballsy enough to drop the price to $350 this holiday...


if they do that then they are going the route of the dreamcast, it will scream desperation.

Actually it certainly did something. It doesn't have to outsell PS4 to be a good business move.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Imagine that; people want to play GAMES on their consoles primarily, not use it for multimedia, cable-tv, voice recognition crap.

Shocking revelation.

 

Xbox One actually has had more retail releases for 2014 than Wii U. So you can play GAMES and use it for multimedia, cable-tv, voice recognition crap.

Shocking right?

That's not how it was originally advertised and presented at E3, all the focus was on what you COULDNT do with it rather than what you could do. Too much DRM, pricey, too much focus on multimedia. They really missed the point of a gaming console and gamers haven't forgotten. 

I was an Xbot last gen, absolutely hated Sony and made my point clear on various forums (and got banned for it). I was 99% certain I was going to buy XB1 before E3. After E3 I immediately recanted.

Sony is winning this gen because former Xbox owners are converting in droves, myself included.

What I don't get though, is that more != good.

How many of those games do you really want to own?

 

I have MH3U, SM3DW, WWHD, and MK8, and I want to buy W101, DKC:TF, NSMBU, NSLU, ZU, RML, and Pikmin 3. I thought the system was going to be a bust when my wife bought it for Scribblenauts after watching a TBFP video on it, and the sales seemed to prove my suspicions correct. However now it has the most games I want and the most games I am looking forward to. The list is pretty long and is made up of almost everything they showed at E3.

I can't think of a single game I want to play on Xbone. All of their best titles are multiplats, so I'll be sticking to a PS4 instead of buying another system for lower quality versions of the same game.

Hell even the PS4 is kinda boring to me. The only games I want to play on it are Madden, Bloodborne, and MGS5PP. Uncharted is cool I guess, but 1 was ok, peaked with an amazing game in 2, 3 was a downgrade akin to going from a juicy T-bone to steak-ums, and 4 I really doubt will look as good as we're being lead to believe.



It wasn't very surprising to me that the Kinectless Bundle would do nearly nothing, I'm thinking next week Xbox One will be at it's old numbers. The drop for WiiU is decent. Historically it's still not exactly good, but at least in the context of this generation it's decent if it doesn't drop much further.



I find this funny because didn't last week Microsoft say that the X1s were flying off the shelf?

I'm thinking this is how it did it:

BREAKING NEWS: 12000 XB1's on suicide watch.
