cut off 5m from the RoW software and we could have a decent accurate Overall Software figure


you mean add on another 20M for the EU and the USA. I take it you voted for boo-urns!


That would be positive PS4 news.  prinz_valium is only interested in bashing all things Sony so it must be overtracked in RoW to fit his agenda.

On topic.  Great news for Sony and PS4, it will grow exponentially from now on.

and ur only interested in shut ur eyes so u dont see the truth?
any1 who belives that the row software numbers are kind of right, is stupid and has zero clue about sales

 

520k watchdog sales in row at only 1250k ps4 out there
while watchdog only sold 775,5k in europe and 677k in the us
and the ps4 was not undertracked on 31th may. 8.3m according to vgc. we know sold through is 10m as of 10th august (2 month and 2 weeks later)

 

brasil, hongkong, mexico, saudia arabia and south africa has to be some major gaming markets these days...

 

edit:
here is another reason, why watchdog ps4 sales for row has to be overtracked. (this are all numbers form theire own investor calling)
watchdogs sold just over 4m units in its first week
watchdogs sold 10-12% of all units on pc
watchdogs sold about 10% of next gen digitally
watchdogs sold 3-5% of last gen digitally
watchdogs sold 2x on next gen compared to last gen
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/watch_dogs-pc-sales-10-12-next-gen-version-sold-2x-more-than-old-gen-version/

VGC retail numbers for first week:
1971k ps4
759k xb1
622,5k ps3
412,5k x360
113k pc retail

+ 273k next gen digital
+ 42k last gen digital
+ >300k pc digital

=  4.5m sales

here is how it should look:
~4.1m sales
~450k pc sales (315k digital, 135k retail)
~2500k next gen (250k digital, 2150k retail)
~1150k last gen (46k digital, 1106k retail)

2730k next gen retail only is overtracked, if u look at ubisofts own numbers. and with less ps4 row sales and some other minor ajdustments it would fit so much better.

See people would be more willing to listen to you if you didn't constantly put down on the ps4, whilst constantly getting it wrong.

Whilst yeah you MAY have a point about ROW software, do you really think that the total sales are complete trash? Especially when VGC always undertracks PS games and gets them wrong. Case in Point Gran Turismo, God of War and The Last Of Us ALL being wrong by the tune of a million+ per game


He also has the unfortunate habit of coming across as condescending so it makes people less likely to listen to him. I rarely read his posts anymore, just assume he's trashing Sony again.

I only read as far as the Watchdogs numbers. VGchartz has the ROW PS4 regions severly under tracked. You need to update those regions before saying watchdogs has a 3:1 ration there. WD had a bundle that sold very well in those regions as well.

We get it you don't like Sony doing well but lets call a spade a spade. It's doing even better over all than VGchartz has it listed. Despite the huge numbers for PS4 last 2 weeks it's still a bit under tracked over all on here.

Incredible job done PS4.
