We need an updated chalkboard for the Xbox One. Guess only Halo MCC (which will probably flop in Halo terms, but sell reasonable in HD remake terms), Halo 5 and a second pricecut will be left

3DS beasting with new launch

PS4 undertracked but still great

PS3 still on the fight

Xone big drop(too much for tier 2 countries right? where is the "13 vs 50 countries" people now?)

X360 and Wii will probably be discontinued

VITA and WiiU /ded

Wii U is just hibernating till the holidays.

The bolded part is of course said because that bundle is $499. Which is a terrible value considering a regular console with game is $399 max. 1TB (well, a 500GB upgrade is definitely a bad deal, especially with XOne's ability to use external drives that are considerably cheaper...)

There is still 15 days for MS to drop the price. If that bundled gets lowered to regular $399, they will certainly win. But right now, I find it a bad price-value proposition. 

Had forgotten about the bolded there.  Definitely not a great value then on the bundle.  Probably will do worse than I am thinking.

Its best I dont comment in this thread.

Why not? I'm not noticing anything out of the ordinary? Or do you mean they could be adjusted in a couple of hours?


I believe he means that the thread will have a hard time dropping off his buddy. Which is why I was reluctant to post in this thread at first.

Those 3DS sales are amazing. MH is huge in japan. PS4 actually improved? It certainly wasn't DriveClub, although DriveClub sold pretty good (I wonder how much was digital, I think around 70k+)

XBO took a giant hit with china coming and going and the Wii U is still gettting beaten by the PS3, haha. PSVita is already with one foot in the grave.

Wii U undertracked as usual.

It's still overtracked.

OT: I literally laughed out loud when I saw the Driveclub number, sorry but just no, I don't believe that for a second.

VGC: 81K

NPD: 87K

 

Why overtracked? .-.

I am just kind of pissed all the NPD leakers at GAF are either no longer posting, or lost their sources because relying on vgc numbers alone seems not reliable when it is the only source.


yes, the next three npd resluts will suck

Driveclub had 100k of preorders and is the frist trackracer on PS4 do it's not that hard to believe after all.

Never, ever believe VGC's pre order charts . While that is true, a lot of the sales of this game will have been digital. Also, racers are a lot more popular in Europe and ROW and these numbers suggest WW Driveclub would have sold more than it actually has. My lowest ranked friend has barely any fame and is #296k on the leaderboard. I bet it sold less than 400k up to this point.


My club level is already ranked below 500k (for what's worth my clublevel is lvl 4)it gets pretty well promoted in Europe. So let's say 600k digital included, the figure could be accurate perhaps 110k but sub 100 seems to low.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
