Forums - Sales - Oct 25th Hardware UP

Excellent week overall for HW, all tracked platforms up. Impressive PS4 just a little lower weekly and ~1M LTD than Wii in the same period of its life. Good sales for 3DS, but unimpressive, DS in the same period of its life was a lot bigger weekly and by almost 8M LTD, and it was stably market leader weekly, despite competing with PSP, much stronger than PSV.
Excellent SW week for PS3, first again, and for Wii, Wii U, DS, PSV and PSP, all up, while the others have a natural drop after the last weeks bosts.
Bayonetta 2 enjoys a nice launch that lets predict good LTD sales, but it has a smallish effect on Wii U HW sales.

Shipment numbers show under tracking for PS4 & XBone, so VGC adjusts each of them down. Sounds legit.

 

It's as if since they don't know where they sold exactly, so then just pretend those sales don't exist.

On the flip side we have consoles that run under the philosophy of "We don't think they sold that well, but let's pretend they sold that much anyways."

Very odd how things are going. 

Which consoles are you refering to in the bolded part?

Obviously the only company where VGC tends to show more sold than shipped. This has happened on numerous occassions over the years.

It isn't meant to be an anti-Nintendo post if that's what you're getting at. It's just to show just how poorly VGC has been handling things.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Indeed. You're being factual if you say Wii, WiiU, DS and 3DS are the only systems we've ever has Sold > Shipped.



 

Man EUROPE, EUROPE.

The Last Of US on PS4 will do easily more than 2 million. Where are the guys who said it won't do it ? TLOU is soon a 10 million seller.



PS4 and X1 were adjusted the wrong way, dammit! Top 3 consoles all doing pretty nicely but PS4 doing especially well. Check out Europe, total domination

In Europe and Global is Game Over.
