that really is the main come away from this, ps4 domination was inevitable, everyone was expecting it.

WiiU being sub 40k even with mk8 and amiboos on the horizon says it all, really. Those long legs nintendo fans like to harp on about seem determined to take a long walk off a short pier.


there are still legs see the same week of 2013...was at 19k...!wii u is still selling double!

Yeah, even if it's perhaps far from the fan wildest dreams, the Wii U was able to outsell the XBox One, and 4 month after MK8 launch the console still enjoys a 100% increase YoY, and I bet the game will still have a massive impact on Christmas launch. Definitely the game has legs.

Well this proves that the One can sell well, right now it's facing tougher competition from the PS4 but it doesn't have to win the generation to be a success. There were special circumstances and now with the games and holidays incoming, hopefully it continues to get bundles like Nintendo does or include a free game, or better yet knock it down another $50. Either way they had a dry spell of just no games like the Wii U had but now it will start chugging along through the holidays and probably a price drop of $50 during or after the holidays.

Are you talking about how they tried to buttfuck consumers and got wrecked for their own stupidity or some other circumstance? 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Awesome post and hilarious observation :) I almost choked on my drink.

Huge numbers for PS4. HUGE

In hardware PS4 dominated the Xbone but in software not so much. I am surprised by how little difference there is between Destiny Ps4 vs XboxOne. I expected a wider gap, and if we combine Destiny Xbox vs Destiny PS, the gap is even smaller. (In US, of course)

The USA does not have a ton more PS4s sold than x1s.


And there is no reason to be surprised, it's all there in the data. The sales ratio of Destiny on PS4 to Destiny on Xb one is 1.26:1 the US LTD sales ratio of PS4:Xb1 is

... drum roll please

Ta daaaaa! 1.26:1!

Amazingly, Destiny sold exactly proportionately according to the install base of each console. If there is to be any surprise, it's the fact that it is almost exactly proportional. I think most people, including me, would have picked a higher attach rate for Xb one. That bit of data tells me that the Destiny deal Sony did with Acti had a significant effect. If the game had been marketed with no console bias at all in the advertising I reckon we'd have seen Xb one with pretty close to the same, and possibly even higher Destiny sales numbers.

Of course this is on the understanding that VGC software numbers carry a significant error, so we can't truly know the relative sales of each version, except for "a lot"

Fine, then about the other games I mentioned.

On the behalf of "lots of people"

I still do not understand. Why do I have to express disappointment in games that are not out - every single one of which is from an established franchise known for consistent quality (AC, Halo) or falling quality (CoD, BF)?

What on earth do these games have to do with this week's sales?

As humans we can sometimes think outside the present to the past or possible future events if we so please. I was wondering why you decided to post your post, without having played the game, in this thread and your answer was that you can't objectively be wrong, really. That didn't really answer my question, but past and future events can help me formulate an answer on my own. That's why I mention other big games in the near future.

Thats wonderfully existential.

Why does anyone choose to post in this thread? Or indeed on these boards at all?

Similar, but equally relevant questions.

Ok now... that ps4 boost was higher than I expected, hope it's not overtracked

It's significantly undertracked at least for the US.

ok two things, I was talking about this week... and where's the source of that? I thought they adjusted numbers here.

They didnt adjust enough, its still undertracked by 250k at least, look at official numbers, 10M when VGC had thème at 9,75M



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
