So, you say that PS3 is less relevant?

I don't understand. I didn't mention relevance.

I would say that PS3 is becoming less relevant as fewer software titles are being announced for it.

I did, then the other guy said that PS4 did better with multi-plattforms, which I don't think it's entirely true, as of now. Then you jumped in the convo.

XL sold out some more until Nov 3. on Amazon.



tbone51 on 30 October 2014

Im surprised about some of the N3ds comments, its doing well, the XL sold out like crazy only available close to NEVER and its overall doing 90k+ (The entire 3ds family).

Its going to shorten the gap immensely YoY, 2014>>>2013 Holiday Numbers, even 2011+2012 numbers were being slaughtered in Q4 compared to 2013, but it means nothing when both sold over 2mil and 2013 sold under 1.8mil :O

Gotcha. I thought it was just a comparison of Western PS games in Japan. On the smaller titles, PS4 is ahead, but things are more even for larger titles that have broader appeal (duh, the larger userbase eventually wins out).

The three Japanese trackers seem to be more in line with each other this week than usual, there have been major differences in the past.



HollyGamer on 30 October 2014

It's truly sad for Japan video games Industry as general, especially console market. I guess the real test is when games like Metal Gear 5 and FFXV along with the next gen Dragon Quest coming to the new system. But i doubt it, even MGS coming to PC along with other RPG games is a prove that Japanese games publisher is not that confident anymore in console sales.

The Evil Within flopped in Japan, Media Create:

[PS3] The Evil Within (Bethesda Softworks) {2014.10.23} (�6.264) - 59.388 / NEW [Units shipped => ~95k]
[PS4] The Evil Within (Bethesda Softworks) {2014.10.23} (�7.884) - 59.204 / NEW [Units shipped => 109k]

Media Create comment:

http://www.m-create.com/english/latest_research/e_ranking.html

・ “The Evil Within” placed the second rank among new releases, selling 124 thousand copies across 4 platforms. Both the PS3 and the PS4 edition sold 59 thousand copies, and, given the digestibility rate for the PS4 edition (54.09%) was lower than that for the PS3 edition (62.18%), the initial sales condition of its PS4 edition was comparatively stern. In addition, since its hardware pulling effect to the PS4 was weak (8 thousand consoles last week to 9 thousand consoles this week), most purchasers seem to have already bought the PS4, so it is hardly to be expected that sales of the PS4 edition will go up after the next week.
