What about the 100k behind in Germany? Why wasn't that added in turn? |
I believe VGC will be forced to update when Official figures will be released by Sony. I still think PS4 is undertracked by VGC by 300-500k in the Global.

Finally we get numbers! GTAV is selling a lot more then expected.

Because everyone suddenly bought a Wii U and MK8 because of that little promotion. Without that promotion probably only half of the people would have ever gotten MK in those weeks. C'mon dude. |
Cuz i said sales would be cut in half right? MK certainly got a boost from it, thats all i was saying. And you call that a little promotion? Free Game with a purchase of 1 game = little promotion? Dafunkkk
It seems like there's only 3 consoles doing at least decently. PS4's November looks very similar to what I first predicted now while XB1 is much higher. I'd guess both totals are reasonably accurate although PS4 is still under in Germany!

1 additional free digital game to a bundle. That's maybe a little bargain but not even close to anything we've seen with other console bundles. Now if the console had an actual price cut that time, that would be a different thing.
So if it's not responsible for half the sales how much do you think it boosted sales? We can take that percentage off to make it fairer :)

Good read.

Wait, just 1 thing^ I could be reading that wrong but are you saying the free game only came with a bundle? (meaning buy mk8 wiiu bundle get game free?)
If thats wat you mean then yes its not a big deal as its something that quite happens alot especially with the other systems.
That said that wasnt the promotion. It was buy MK8 standalone, just the game get 1 of 4 games free (1 of 10 in Europe).
Thats damn huge^
WiiU sales depress me so much.
Like, given how many great games there are on the system it should be doing so well!
But it really seems like by the end of the year it'll still be below the Sega Saturn :(

You are right, I forgot about that. Still, the selection wasn't really that stellar. Not even SM3DW or Donkey Kong in there.
So what's your guess on the boost? You're basically saying that there are (many?) people who wouldn't have bought MK8 at that time if it wasn't for the promotion.
edit: ah looks like we have global software now. Smash U is at 1.5m.
