Ouch. I wonder if FH will even leg it to 1.5M+, like the first one.
Not really. At least not for Madden, since it was confirmed (edit: last month) the PS4 version outsold the XBO version, even when including the bundles. I'm sure the same goes for FIFA.
Analysis and predictions go hand in hand, though. An analyst must give their educated opinion about what current trends and recent developments mean for the future. If he's this wrong on things your average forum poster would know, or that there was even going to be a gen 8, he really shouldn't have a job. The only reason I think he does is because he represents people even more ill informed than himself. |
Analysis aren't predictions, is he was so bad at his job a Wedbush he woul be fired already. He himself has stated that he would say outrageous things to cause a rise on people and that the worst prediction he made was saying Red Dead Redemption won't sell cause it doesn't have as many weapons as a sandbox game set in a modern setting.
Stop talking about him a he will go away.
And we were right, like always, on amazon being the most reliable source, it was obvious that PS4 was undertracked by a lot.
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m
That's even better than 360 during Halo 3 release ! http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/106869/NPD_Halo_3_Drives_Xbox_360_Sales_Above_Wii_In_September.php
Destiny is really huge

Not for me, I was expecting around 600k or maybe more before Microsoft countered with 'any free game' timed deal, which was a brilliant move imho. It didn't give MS the win, but I'm sure it convinced a pretty solid batch of folks who weren't brand loyal (USA is notoriously not brand loyal, so it makes sense).

Very few people on that site understand sales numbers, shipped numbers etc. |
On the plus side, you can ignore everyone else and simply go to the gold : AquaMarine and the other legit people in the know.
I agree about the rest, it's mostly just uninformed fans and trolls everywhere.
Was there ever a doubt? The PS4 is just cruising at this point. So far, any attempts by MS to out due Sony have not work (but it has given Xb1 a great boost nevertheless)

What's even more impressive about that, is that the 360 had : a long head start, and a much better price than PS3 at the time.
September 2007 PS3 was $499 for 60GB, and $599 for 80GB. In October they dropped the 60GB, and moved the 80GB price to $499.
So 360 had a more advantageous situation than PS4 does now.
For Sept 2014, PS4 was $399 no game, or $449 with one game, while X1 was $399 + game, and for a week $399 + two games (including the bundle game for PS4, lol).

Still pretty hard even though I expected it.
