i said 50. which is really bad for nintendo. their handheld software doesn't paint a pretty picture.


50 is bad? Really?

1. HH's in general are at a huge decline overall (tablets/mobile/etc)

2. How many games are there even for the 3ds? Its not like their are many developers for the system compared to ps/ms home consoles! And many games from japanese developers are either Japan only and/or niche.

PS4 in just 1 year has over 35% of 3ds total for amount of games. Next year will easily be over 65% in total.

Besides out of 50 million sellers, Nintendo will problably have the only 10mil+ sellers that are exclusives anyway^

it doesn't change the fact it's bad. I know the market is dying because of tablets/smartphones and that is a massive contributing factor. It's still bad!

And do you not think Halo 5 and GT5 will sell over 10M? Hell TLOU is nearly at 10M copies sold between PS3/PS4.

Well i guess thats opinionated. Because overall some of the games sold extremely well. I didnt kno there had to be a certain amount of million sellers to be considered bad/good/etc.

And like i previously pointed out, there arent going to be nowhere near as close games for 3ds lifecycle compared to the ds/psp/ and home consoles (exclding WiiU).

"And do you not think Halo 5 and GT5 will sell over 10M? Hell TLOU is nearly at 10M copies sold between PS3/PS4." I said Exclusive as in on 1 system. Halo has a chance of course being MS biggest franchise, but wats GT5? You mean GTA5? It wont hit 10mil lifetime on ps4. A for TLoU, your combining PS3 sales. I was talking exclusive to a system. There will be plenty of multiplats that hit over 10mil this gen no doubt, but on just one system i think Nintendo will have the top 3. (exclusives)

I said GT5 but I meant to say GT as in Gran Turismo. It hit it a few times on PS2 and on PS3 with GT5. I don't see how it matters if the game is exclusive or not. It doesn't decide if the platform did better or not it just matters if a games sells over 10M or not. 

PS2 #325 (Prob more)

PS1 #206

Wii #154

PS3 #222 (Prob hit 250 in the end)

Xbox 360 216 (Prob hit 250 as well)

Nintendo DS #136

I consider all those console to have great software numbers. I know 3DS will sell a lot less and that's one of the main reasons for the low number of million sellers. Currently at #34. 

You can try argue the software ratio is good (i've no idea if it is) but I cn't say myself I think the total software is good. It has to be worrying for Nintendo how much software has decreased for them.

yoshi's new island/ New Youkai Watch/ Mario Tennis/ Professor Layton (once America numbers are included)/ New Style Boutique & Art Academy (when they adjust the sales)/ Zelda Majora's Mask/ Bravely Second/ Xenoblade?/ New unannounced games?..

I was thinking you meant Gran Turismo, but the fact that you had 5 on there threw me off.  If anything, wouldn't you mean GT7?

i fucked up lol. yeah i was basically saying PS4 might have an exclusive 10M seller. My bets are on GT7 or TLOU 2. It will have plenty of 10M sellers over all though. 



drake_tolu on 29 November 2014

+50.

Don't forget Uncharted 4. There's a decent chance that could hit 10M as well


i just don't see it. I think the series has peaked. the increased PS4 sales will offset the natural decline it would have seen since U3. That's my guess anyway but would lose to be wrong.
