Looking at those numbers i noticed two very important things (outside of the PS4 vs X1 sales):

- PS3 outsold by a considerable margin the Wii U again this week, (Tales of Xillia 2, Ar no Surge and Fairy Fencer F are keeping the PS3 alive and its even competing with an 8th generation console, and people said this "niche" Jrpgs didnt matter...)

- The PS4 finally outsold the Wii U on Japan with a number of 23,196 vs Wii U number of 6,225, and thats with a WESTERN game like Destiny, so i wonder how things are gonna be over there when games like Persona 5, Disgaea 5, FF Type 0, FF XV, Neptunia VII, Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, Senran Kagura an many others get released on japan and worldwide.

just some thoughts.


Look at chart top selling games are not niche jrpg games on ps3

yeah my mistake, it was only due to Destiny, but anyway i already edited my original post, so it has the correct info now.

Sony should offer both so everybody will be happy

both? you mean western and japanese games? if so well, yeah you are right but they already announced a lot of japanese games just this couple of weeks so now we only have to wait at least, cant wait for Persona 5, DIsgaea 5, FF Type 0 among others, 2015 is gonna be great although this games may come to the west early 2016 to be honest.

Yes,ps3 had both,ps4 start to get some Japanese games but Vita only had japanese games and basicly 0 western games



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Bungie made a lot of mistakes but none of them are critical or hard to fix (the game will grow big in the next months).

- Story: the game have a interesting story but Bungie choose just to tell a little via cultscenes (because the game is a co op experience and not single-player) but it grows the universe via Dead Ghosts + Grimoires... the story is really big but they made the mistake to tell it via app on PC/Mobile instead to put it inside the game (or use cultscenes).

- Social features: the games needs ingame Clan support and a ingame chat feature... the socia features needs to grow.

These two are my biggest complain for now... if they fix that (the social features mainly)  the game will grow from a solid 9/10 experience to 9.5 or even 10/10 experience.

Maybe Eurogamer and Game Informer are right the game will be majestic in one year.

And you are dead right people trashing it didn't played it (aka Starcraft).

I commented that a lot of people have expressed regret with their purchase. I also said explicitely that the game is not a bad one.

I also replied directly to you that I have in fact played the Beta (and Alpha).

I don't understand the extraordinary defensiveness over such a mild comment

What exactly was the point of your comment, then? Was it purely to rile people up (flaming) or was it for another reason? I mean, your comment can be applied to ANY big game that releases, yet you only chose to say this about Destiny. What for?

Not sure why people are surprised at the X1 sku's sales. It is a shooter made by Bungie after all. For instance, MS always have a marketing deal with CoD and that doesn't stop the PS sku from selling 10 million +. The game is gonna sell well on both platforms, just one of them gets the edge in sales due to marketing.

Fair enough, if I have misjudged your intent, I apologize. FYI, there is a thread for Mod feedback, if you feel there is a need to provide it.

I don't think your moderating job isn't good. Personally, I have no issues with the job you or anyone else here does in that regard. I just personally hold a higher standard for the way mods partake in discussions, that's all. Personally, with zero experience in something I would never make an attempt to hold an overly negative opinion on something, especially when the positive feedback far outweighs it. I made that mistake LONG ago with Fallout 3.

You are always free to take my criticisms or leave them. I just think out loud.

I don't have an overly negative opinion of the game. As I said, its clearly decent, based off the Beta I'd have thought it would be better.

Based off the reviews, most of the gaming media thought it would be better. And many people who paid for the game - and a console for it - before become fully aware of its quality, will feel the same way.

But as I have said elsewhere, it remains an above average game.

Where? I said some do - read through the reviews? It really isn't hard to validate that comment...

I'd say you and I need to call it quits in this thread. We're going nowhere.

Please read your comments that started this mess in the thread... you never said "some"... you generalized.

Just look if it was just me to replied calling you... others posters too.

PS. I'm waiting the evidences of people that played the game

I have directed you to the reviews. You're a tech-savvy guy Ethomaz. You know how to read a random sampling of reviews from an aggregator.

But I thought The Last Us was great because of the story and characters...

or that Titanfall "failed" because it didn´t have a engage single play experience and narrative.

Destiny hate is overblown. I have no idea how it got this messy. Angry Halo fans? Angry reviewers that didn't get to review the game early? Maybe a combination of multiple things.

Anyway, play the game yourself and make up your own mind. I've played games rated in the 60s that I really enjoyed. Reviews = Just someone elses opinion.

I don't know. I don't think it would be reasonable to apply this to the Last of Us for example?

The reason I made my comment on this day, in this thread, is because the boost to Xbox One and PS4 is the clear result of Destiny hype. Unless you're arguing that some other 'big game' led to the uptick in console sales, I am not quite sure what you're trying to achieve with your post.

1. It is

2. Titanfall didn't fail but it was overhyped by Microsoft/EA.
