What a train wreck of a thread.

Why is your name "Train Wreck"?

You were on this site during the glory days of the Wii, just after the botched PS3 launch, so that is the only reason I see for you choosing that name. But you're always crusading for Sony, so it doesn't make any sense.

You keep confusing me.



I LOVE ICELAND!

This is....oddly specific. And pointless. Amusingly pointless though.

Him, his threads and pretty much every one of his posts are a "train wreck". I think that's pretty much the reason.

Trying to compile a list of reasons The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the PS4 will outell the majority of the Wii U library.  CD Projekt Red Studio, for all intended purposes, is a very small studio.  Their budget for game releses cant be that big, let alone money set aside for advertising and other things needed to push games.  They only have 2 games released so far, one exclusive to PC, no Sony presence.  For Witcher 3, advertisting wise, there has only been a couple youtube videos and a game delay.  The videos were enough to encourage me to pick up the game day one...as well as others I am sure.  I have to question what the company is doing right that Nintendo has failed to do with games like W101 and Lego City Undercover.

 

Thoughts?

A few.

1) Punctuation exists for a good reason.

2) We knew as of mid-2013 what their expected development and marketing budget are (yes, they have a large marketing budget!), which I discovered courtesy of a two-second google search. I know I know, "work," amirite?

3) We also know the rough size of the developer. Again, Google!!!

4) Sales of 1.6 million lifetime would mean selling better than 95% of PS2 games.#funwithstats

5) I have clearly put more thought and work during the past three minutes for your thread than you ever put into it.

6) Percussion is important in music, but beating the same note over and over is just noise.

At first, I thought this was saying it would outsell 95% of the Wii U's library combined. But let me ask, what is the point of this thread? It's one thing to analyze what may contribute to the sales of a game, and another to make this weird comparison.

The point of this thread is to take a dig at Nintendo. But of course you knew that. I mean, who doesn't at this point?

Off topic:

 

@Rol since you're already here, I'll just tell you now, you will be receiving a "W(win)" for this. Not for this specific comment but you know what i'm talking about

Are you calling him a fanboy?

@Bold:  I was thinking something similar about how that number could apply to almost any console easily, given the game is big enough.  

And if it were what I FIRST thought it was saying, then I'd know it's not going to happen.

hasnt watchdogs pretty much beat all of wii u game sales week 1 (on ps4)?



Nintentacle on 26 June 2014

That's not why. It's because the game has a lot of hype and the PS4 has more sales than the Wii U.
