LOL! It's a joke. Just mocking all the people that come to these sale threads. Every single fucking week people come to these chart threads and complain about how undertracked the PS4 is. I'm honestly just sick of it at this point. If it's widely accepted that it's undertracked, then you don't have to be the 150th person to say so. Or maybe it's not as undertracked as everyone wants it to be. Everyone here acts like it's a fucking crime that a sales prediction website isn't spot on. Just deal with it. It doesn't have to be the main point of discussion every time charts are released.

Yes it does, when it's painfully obvious. This website is supposed to estimate sales but when amateurs can see the sales are way off then there's something wrong.

Whilst not without statistical analytic skills myself (having studied them at university), I doubt my own ability to construct a site with anything like the ball park accuracy of VGC.

However, I am now greatly looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!

US data up on the front page.

Sunset only 138K. With the white bundle. Just poor numbers, MS cannot be satisfied with that.
Worse than Driveclub, and a fraction of Infamous (a comparable exclusive released when PS4 had even lower install base).

It is true that it was just a niche game that would have sold much better on PS4, I think we can rule out a sequel, or at least an exclusive sequel.

A better comparison would be Infamous, which sold too a much larger install base on the PS3, and got about 150k sales first week in the US (according to VGC).

By that metric, quite impressive numbers!

WiiU was adjusted up. About 100k on shelves end of September.

300K I was willing to accept as Wii U not needing more than that to meet demand. But 100K is ridiculous.

I was wrong, it's around 190k. Still a little undertracked IMO.

Overtracked?

Does 200k difference seem that bad? Its not ps4/x1 thats selling alot, I can see Japan having like 40k on store shelves, 100k in NoA, 50k-70k in Europe and an extra 20k elsewhere

So ps4 being Always undertracked and X1 being undertracked at least recently get cut down. WiiU having almost no stock and screaming overtracking since forever is adjusted up. Seems legit. It's all those destiny returns.

On Ioi, he then said he didn't trust Sony (or any of manufacturer's numbers).

When Sony reveals numbers on Sony experience, what will be the undertracking? I say at least 1M.

Possibly even greater. I'll say 1M minimum and 1.5M tops.
