I think you have waaay too much faith in SSB or MCC. Especially the latter. Heres the thing about remakes, they are fan service... not system sellers. People are not waiting for a MCC to buy an XB1. And now SSB is the biggest hardware pusher? I though that was supposed to be MK8... and I am assuming that after SSB it will e Zelda. Ah well, just so you know;  games will not fix the wiiUs problem.

The internet constantly shifts between "games wont sell a console" to "games sell the console!" all the time

It's nice.

Really don't know what you are talking about. Look at the part of my post that I bolded and read that again. I did not say and never said "games will not sell wiiUs (consoles)" what I said is "games will not fix the wiiUs problems".

I have gone on to state that whenever there is an anticipated  game release for the wiiU sales spike for a week or so. So obviously I admit that games actually help it. But the availability of games is not the wiiUs problem which is why it can't fix it.

The problem the wiiU has is a generalized extremely poor market perception. So much so that most people forget to recognize it among the current gen 8 consoles when making comparisons. Its a console without an identity or a strong selling point its biggest most stand out feature is something that even nintendo admits not knowing what to do with. And its dedicated fan base is too small to demand any kinda recognition especially from third party developers. When the cheapest console on the market, with the most impressive library of games currently available has been available for almost 2 years and is still under 7M in sales... then you know you have a problem. Especially when a console that is more expensive than it is out selling it heavily and without games as most people say.

I hope Sony releases trailers for TLOUR on TV and the bundle.



as i predicted the price cut would not do much. The titanfall bundle was off far superior value.



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

If that's the best ps4 can muster they are in trouble

Would it really hurt you, for just once, not to try and spin things?

As for the rest of the thread, lots of "meh numbers" "bad numbers all round", yet in previous weeks when said commenters favorite consoles were on top, even by a fraction, "great numbers for ___, dominating!", or "that ____ effect!"

Funny how numbers from the same range turn from good/great/dominating to "meh / bad" when preferences aren't the leaders.

These kind of comedic posts always keep the mood upbeat!


Someone creating an alt just to make a useless and pretty hard to understand dig is funny.

How much are the numbers precise or over"predicted" would you guys bet? NPD June will be great.

You know ps4 sales are good when someone creates an account to post this



And the downfall of the Xbox One begins.  The price cut was short lived.



The PS4 and 3DS duking it out as usual:)
