PS4 :O



Around the Network

PS3's software sales pass 70 million for the year. A 20 plus million lead over the 360 in second place. However, the 360's time in second place is coming to an end, as the PS4's yearly software sales should see it pass the 360's next week.

PS3 total software sales pass 850 million.

Vita total software sales pass 30 million.

PS4 has it's biggest weekly software sales so far. With just under 6 million units of software sold.

I really can't understand the hype and sales for PS4. It's like gamers don't actually care about the most important thing... Games.

Now don't get me wrong, PS4 will end up with many great games during its lifetime (a lot of them will even be exclusive), but that isn't the case right now. Most games available now are also on the PS3. I guess that disproves the myth that graphics don't matter. Obviously they're super important for the majority of the gamers.

Yes, gemers don't care about the best version of GTAV, the best version of Dragon Age, Far Cry4, COD: AW, Shadow of Mordor, The Evil Within, Destiny, NBA 2K 15, Fifa 15,  etc etc.

You are right, these are not games. Only Mario kart is a game...

Don't know if I should laugh or cry...

Aren't most of those games better on PC? Serious question as I don't buy many games on my PC.

Depends on what kind of PC. having just any PC is not a gurantee your game will look better compared to PS4, in fact, chances are its the other way around

Dammit I was right that DA:I wouldn't make 1 million first week. I take no pleasure in being right because an underwhelming result here will in all likelihood mean the death of the franchise, which would be hugely disappointing to me.

466k+229k+176k+136k+128k= 1,135k

Never been so happy to prove someone wrong

Fantastic, RoW to the rescue then, because NA and Europe alone were short by quite a bit.

Yep, and mostly I don't play games on PC, so even if you could play Far Cry4 at 4k, I will still prefer to play PS4 at 1080p in my living room on a comfortable sofa in front of my Samsung 55''.  Just my taste.

So $50 cheaper and only sold 20k more units than PS4

#XboxComeBack



It's selling brilliantly, so yes it has made a comeback. 

A 'fire sales' come back only in NA. In the Global PS4 is crushing XOne.

Less than 1.5:1 is crushing?

I remember a time when 2:1 was the minimum expectation in the US and between 5:1 and 8:1 was the expectation in Europe....

It'll come back to that probably after the holidays, its unrealistic to expect a gap that big during the holiday season. 



Holy shit at ps4 softwares.

This.  I have never understood when people use PC version of games as a argument that multiplatform games on consoles don't count when in reality, those are the games that are pushing the ps4 right now because the majority of gamers play on consoles and not on PC.  It's just that the majority of those gamers are choosing ps4 as their primary console for gaming and that's fact.

You know that you can do the exact same thing with a PC right? Just sayin'
