Waiting for confirmation (Dunno why Aqua doesn't just say yes or no) but that is stupidly close if so, I knew XB1 was overtracked.

Looks like PS4 could be the only one spot on.

Surprised WiiU is up so little YOY, does not bode well for this holiday's sales.


Think thats bad? (well it is really on HW side lmao!) look at SW sales. Halo not so bad but overtracked by way over 140k+ and AC unless that X1 bundle did extremely well, its overtracked by over 750k

 

Looking at this...

1.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, XBO, PS4, PS3, PC)

2.) Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)

3.) Super Smash Bros. (NWU, 3DS)

4.) Madden NFL 15 (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)

5.) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS)

6.) Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)

7.) Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS)

8.) NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)

9.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)

10.) Halo: The Master Chief Collection (XBO)

Dude, IDC have "reliable" he is. Its almost impossible for such a small gap, and since when was he so reliable, never heard of him, and because hes guessing everything its suddenly correct? Don't think so, sry! And this isn't defense mode, because he says something it all goes to H*** on this post.

You never heard of cboat? He leaked the specs of both ethe PS4 and the XB1 months before both console were even announced. He was spot on about sony using GDDR5 ram, but he like everyone else just couldn't know that sony were going for 8GB instead of the 4GB that even sony devs thought they were going with. He leaked out basically the entire first year release schedule of the XB1. Including the halo MCC. Leaked out the DRM policies MS were thinking about using before MS actually announced it. Leaked out that sony would start charging for online multiplayer before sony anounced it.

I will put it this way, theer is not a single other leaker on the planet that has got as much stuff spot on as Cboat. Though he typically has a very cryptic way of talking. If you knew him, you will know why its such a big deal.

I am still taking what he has said as a rumor though,but its not impossible. Especially when you consider how loose MS PR has been so far.


I've done a bit of digging, and no he's a mod, thats it! Theres not concreate evidence so no, I refuse to believe him until he shows me such proof, or at least until other leakers say the same thing!



This NPD is shaping out to be more interesting then I thought it would be, but I still want to wait for some more confirmation.



So Info Scout was full of shit. Wii retains the record for best second black Friday... unless its really PS4, Wii U is overtracked, the Xbox One didn't sell 1.4 million and is nearly 500k over tracked. The PS4 is also about 100k overtracked, the Xbox One is back to sub 9.0 million again as of 11/29 and Xbox 360 Call of Duty outsold all other Skus...

Did I miss anything?

October NPD:
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (3DS) - 495k (including digital sales)

November NPD:
"Super Smash Bros. for 3DS has sold more than 1.5 million physical and digital units in the U.S."

It sold one million copies in November??

Can't be, since WiiU version sold less than 710k retail and it's listed ahead of 3DS



The One and Only

I'm guessing 3DS is down year over year too because Nintendo made no mention of any increase for 3DS sales.

Amiibo sales are good though, but probably a disappointing holiday season for Nintendo coming up on the hardware front.



It's pretty pathetic certain fans can't handle one XB1 win in a year, I don't see XB1 fans making up fake numbers to divert attention away from 11 or so straight victories for ps4.

That was ntkrnl

And I thought he said Sony WOULDN'T have an online paywall.

Am i mixing my insiders up?lmao... well ignore me if I am wrong then. it was a looooooong time ago.

Yeah, ntkrnl actually called cboat out on his BS and then cboat was banned.



Terrible wiiU sales. I would have hoped that 10% was a typo and they actually meant 100%. But I guess that's very unlikely in a PR release.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M
