Just realized that if TLOU did this well, then its safe to assume that the GTA5 remake for XB1 and PS4 will be stuff of legends.

Yeah it will sell a lot, I see it doing 2m+ first week (1.4m+ on PS4, 600k+ on One)

it may do great but probably not much bigger than TLoU,

1st lot of competition in holiday season

2nd the userbase of gta V is already big (so less margin for new comers)

3rd people who wanted to play GTA5 already played it, 

4th since TLoU is a new franchise lot of people must have missed it last year and tried now thanks to the new hype, i dont think gta passed under the radar of anyone

still plenty of competition


2nd the userbase of gta V is already big (so less margin for new comers) Ok, eeeeeeeeven more reason why it would sell tons 

no, lets put in a small scale, we have 100 people, 70 played gta5 but only 10 played TLoU, from that 100, 90 knew about gta5 but only 20 knew about TLoU, this year we have 100 people, 70 played gta and 100 knows about it, and now from that 100 people lets say 85 knows about tlou, so the margin for new comers is much smaller for gta5 this year


3rd people who wanted to play GTA5 already played it, "People who wanted to play TLoU already played it"...ooops

i want to play (TLoU) but still didnt bought it, not to say that gta5 is multiplat so a much bigger audience had opportunity to play it last year... and i have gta5


4th since TLoU is a new franchise lot of people must have missed it last year and tried now thanks to the new hype, i dont think gta passed under the radar of anyone see my 1st and 3rd replies

Destiny PS4... my god..


I exagerated a bit saying that ~a million PS4s can be sold in September, but at this rate it looks even more possible.


world wide? it can happen. it all depends on the Destiny week. but Destiny is on the 9th, so the boost will help it through the month and baseline will be higher. its a tough task surely though.

Really though?

I don't think it's hard to assume that Destiny will sell 10 million in September across all platforms. Let's say, worst case scenario, only 3 million of those are for PS4. It's not hard to imagine that a million of those bought a new PS4 for the game.

So no, I don't think it's a tough task at all for the PS4 to sell 1m consoles in September. Unless I misunderstood you.

Yep, the last vestiges of denial will have to crumble at July's NPDs.

The smoke and mirrors of the past few months won't be able to be spun any more.

Bad April NPD = Quick, Announce $399 SKU 1 month ahead of time to distract!!

Bad May NPD = Buried under E3 Coverage, and excused because "everyone is waiting for the price cut"

Mediocre 2nd place June NPD = Wow! Look at that boost (only when compared to the intentionally sacrificed May NPD, lol)! Don't pay any attention to the fact that charting only showed a temporary boost, and that it was a FIVE WEEK MONTH to pad the numbers with!

Bad July NPD = Well .. wait for (insert game here) .. Yeah, that worked great with every 'wait for X' so far. Paywall removal, fire Mattrick, Titanfall, FREE Titanfall, FREE Titanfall + $50 off!, $399 DisKinect!

To be fair, the 399 boost was not that temporary. Before that the X1 was doing way below 50k. Now 7 weeks after the cut it's still above 50k.

XBO still under WiiU?

Hmmm....



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
