Leak?


If true then:

PS4 ~ 70k undertracked

XB1 ~ 15k undertracked (!)

Wii U ~ about right

3DS ~ about right

Vita ~ about right

So except for PS4 and to a small degree XB1, pretty good tracking by VGC! Still consistently undertrack PS4 though, they really need to get a handle on that.

Actually last month they overtracked the PS4, not even by a small amount either (around 55k). So it's hardly consistently undertracking, funnily enough if they switched the numbers for last month with this month you'd be pretty close!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Ah of course, forgot about that. As I said, very good tracking by VGC.

You never really can tell. While my heart fully agree with you my brain comes up with numbers and scenarios that can make the PS4 dethrone its "grand dad" (PS3 was its daddy and PS1 was its great grand dad). Here is my reasoning;

 

  • PS2 sold as well as it did LTD cause it pretty much dominated the 6th generation. PS4 seems on track to do the same this gen. Combined sales of the GC and XB in the 6th was approx 55-60M. If that number hold true this gen to the WiiU/XB1 then the PS4 will again be the dominant platform.
  • The PS4 may not be selling as well as the PS2 was if you look at the first june(s), but the PS4 sales were heavily front loaded. The PS2 did not sell like 4M worldwide in its first 2 months.
  • PS2 also came in at a lower price, chances are when the PS4 is at $300 it will have an overall highly monthly sales baseline.
  • Yes japan is not as big now for PS4 as it was for the PS2, but now the PS4 is also going into market that it never went into with the PS2. All it has to do is sell 10M in japan, sales from the new regions should make up for it.
Thats all I got lol. I wanna believe!!!!

 


Gamecube shipped 21.74 million and Xbox shipped 24 million so just under 46 million between them.

Were did you get "Combined sales of the GC and XB in the 6th was approx 55-60M"?

Great numbers for all three console, yet you still see lots of bickering. Be happy, as each of the big three have done well. Honestly, call yourselves gamers?

People are bickereing because they are gamers. There's nothing to play in summer so they get cranky.

So with these numbers, does that mean the PS4 didn't actually go below 100k?

All the doom was for NOTHING??
