Why has that gap shrunk again? This rounding up or rounding down is starting to baffle me. Surely it should favour the PS4 sometimes?


Yeah, because PS4 is in big need for favors in general

lol. It's just something I keep seeing. Yesterday it was XB1 5.6 and PS4 11.3 but today it's XB1 5.8 and PS4 11.4. Both consoles sold around the same with the PS4 selling just a fraction more. Like I said, I know rounding up and rounding down has an effect but so far I've only seen it favour the XB1 on the main page.

I noticed also, but it doesn't matter in the macro vision. Sony will officially announce 15M units sold by the end of Nov(my forecast) and VGC will have to update again their figures which will be probably 750k-1M less.

Excellent debut for Forza Horizon 2 and Shadow of Mordor.

I am about 5 hours into SoM on PS4 and loving it! Not a huge racer, but might pick up FH2 when its cheap as I enjoyed the demo!

Great sales this week from both the PS4 and Xbox One, clearly the China launch was an unmitigated success!

Are you an rpg fan? Im not really but SoM seems like a good action game, which i love (action games). What are your thoughts about the game so far?

I play my fair share of RPG's. There isn't an RPG-level of depth to its systems, but thats fine as it doesn't pretend to be one.

It is an excellent game so far. I've read a few reviews that describe its combat as Arkham with swords (in a complementary way) and I think thats fair. Story is interesting enough, but I have barely scratched it. Too much fun running around checking out the Nemesis system. The game keeps lulling me into the feeling that it is easy - then killing me.

If you're an action fan, with any interest in Mordor or orcs etc at all, its great.

fair enough. i hated the combat system in Arkham Asylum, but this nemesis system seems really interesting. im gonna play it, and if i dont like it you have hell to pay for "tricking" me into playing it mister!

Does the Smash figure include the bundled ones with the 3DS hardware?


To what, exactly, are you reffering? If you're talking about the Smash-themed 3DS's, you should know that those did not come with the actual game itself, they were merely 3DS's with a Smash Bros. design.


The game is definitely bundled as a digital copy.

Prediction from Michael Pachter....

 

We expect hardware sales of 325,000 Xbox One units ..., 250,000 PS4 units ..., and 85,000 Wii U units .... We expect Xbox One sales to exceed those of the PS4 for only the second month since launch driven by a one week free game promotion. From September 7-13, Microsoft offered a free game with the purchase of a new Xbox One to customers at participating retailers in the U.S. The promotion applied to the $399 Xbox One, the $499 Xbox One with Kinect, the $399 Xbox One Madden NFL 15 bundle, and the $499 Xbox One Forza Motorsport bundle with Kinect.

I don't even.......that's so nonsensical I can't fathom it. Someone forgot about Destiny launching during a five week period. Or someone's on crack.

Hahahaha WOW, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard him say and that's saying a LOT. His predictions are usually within the realm of possibility if a slight bit biased towards Xbox and against Nintendo, but this just is mind blowingly stupid.  X1 is going to be VASTLY outsold for September NPD, but should have a better Nov and Dec.
