Oh now we're doing this shit again, if the people in the NPD thread on Neogaf believe it and if none of the other leakers come to dispute the numbers than we can assume that they are correct.


But the people on the Gaf thread also believed the 10k gap 'leak'...

Did you just purposely skip the second half of my post?


Someone came and deconfirmed the 10k, but if they hadn't, they would have believed it still.

So 500,000 with 8.2 million consoles is a flop? Ultimate before you wrote this you should check the numbers of Bayonetta on PS3 and 360

Absolute numbers decide whether a game is a flop or not, not the attach rate. But yeah, I don't think 500k makes it a flop.

Which is why another leaker came and gave the real numbers.

I can't really argue the point right now when gaf is down, so maybe I'll continue later.

And it's not like it stopped selling or even finished holiday season.

I blame these so called "hardcore" gamers

 

If you don't own a PS4/Wii-U or a One/Wii-U you are not "hardcore".



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Glad I'm not a hardcore gamer then. ;)

Though I might buy a PS4 once I get a job. Only for the exclusives though. And some good third party games (TW3, Batman: Arkham Knight, MGS 5)

Okay here is absolute numbers 500,000 for Bayo 2 First 10 weeks 340,000.Bayo 1.18 million on PS3 in 5 years, first 10 weeks 205,000. Bayo 900,000 on 360 in 5 years, first 10 weeks 500,000. So how is that?

Well when you consider how shitty Bayonetta was on PS3 those numbers are very high and of course the same game as an exclusive will sell more than a multiplat on any indiviual console since sales are split. Anyways, I have said already that 500k is not a flop, so no need to argue about that.
