I'm sorry DF, but you just seem incredibly salty all the time. Even in that post you deny the probability that we ARE looking at another PS1/PS2 style gen. WiiU is struggling, and XBO is basically dead outside of US/UK (and losing notably in both of those). Further, the XBO numbers are HEAVILY front-loaded. If you look at 2014 exclusively, PS4 is around 3:1 (higher in EU).

NeoGaf, for all the zaniness, IS the home of reliable NPD leaks, and has been for ages. There is no argument against that unless you just can't stand to see Xbox losing so badly. The rest of your post is just a complaint, trying to minimize things as best you can. 'A dying state of mind', 'old fat guys', etc, it's just a bunch of salty shit. Yes, of course, PS4 didn't just have the biggest September NPD of all time or anything.

The particular thing about your post and consistently contrarian postings is that you contradict yourself.

"I´m against people with no back information or reseanable qualification spreding FUD."

Really? REALLY?

Only thing worse that a fanatic, is a self righteous fanatic. If you read some of his posts? You will actually wonder why he even bothers coming into sales threads. Every single time he dismisses numbers from VGC, Gaf (NPD) and has even tried to discredit numbers from sony themselves and he has apparently been waiting for "shipped" numbers from MS to make us all see how the XB1 has "sold" much better. And somehow doesn't see the farce in that.

As I said too, he is consistent and has become really good at what he does.

ZELUDA < 170k
FZ2 ~ 120k
TFFCC < 25k
Goodbye < 12k

 

FZ2 = TOTAL, not kidding. (360+XB1)

Sunset overdrive is probably the next one.....poor devs!

Ps4 ans xb1 undertracked

Destiny massively overtracked.
And I was right. Xb1 destiny standalone > ps4
Overall ps4 destiny just 100 unitits more


I'm just shocked by the 530k ps4 number. Never expected that. Ps4 still not slowing down. It has to. Otherwise the gaming market is in big trouble


Just ignore that Microsoft gave away Destiny for free to counter the Sony Marketing Deal with Bungie.Perfectly fine

And why is gaming in trouble?
PS1+PS2 Era were 2 of the best Gens of all time.Its the best case scenario for every gamer if Sony rules this market.
Especially if Developers see a Community is big and united this could mean a lot more variety in games which is good.
I gladly wish Nintendo would find back to old strenght but sadly this won't happen in the near future.
But otherwise this Gen is amazing and i hope the PS4 is able to continue this way.
And after what Sony experienced with the PS3 they won't get cocky anymore either - They are now fully aware if you screw up you lose a lot.
Now they just have to keep an eye on what Microsoft does and counter their bundles and upcoming pricedrops in a smart way.

Just for information
What are the estimates for September Worldwide right now?Close to 1,5 Million?

I like this line of thought. Instead of hardware competition we get software competition. I prefer software competition, where developers will have to release better games. They won't sell games because of exclusivity deals.

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

So would that mean that we can throw out sales numbers for Xbox One units not sold during the Holidays?  So if you bought an Xbox One outside of the Holiday Season, you don't count.

So can someone summarise for me what's going on with GAF and this Aquamarine? I just saw a bunch of weird posts, all capitalised, and I'm not gonna read thousands of posts to find out what happened.


They started bashing VGC saying, VGC is rich and everyone believes VGC lies. They started picking FH2 and other numbers. Later they started picking me and dernebel and kept going.

I am curious what they will say if they continue to lose during the holidays as well.

This is a twitter created by GAF users to post shit posts when happens... there is the NewTopics and other to Trends too.

If Microsoft don't close the gap by end of year, they will have to wait until the next holiday to see whether they can catch up or not and by that moment, the gap will be wider.

Yeah, the above statement rings more substance than I would have thought (about software competition).  I should have noticed since it seemed that survival horror is making a comeback while I'm an old school Silent Hill/Fatal Frame/Siren fan.

Microsoft will need some of these if the gap continues to get bigger...
