It's Mortal Kombat dude...


Did COD AW sell systems (excluding the bundle) no. Did GTA 5 sell systems  (excluding bundle's once again). No!


That's not what i'm saying. There are people that waited for MK to be release giving them a reason to upgrade. Yes!

Still a new game. I thought the brand and demo would be enough to carry it. It was doing extremely well on Amazon also.

The Order also did well on Amazon and that didn't pan out well. Amazon isn't that great of an indicator for software sales.

But I do agree that expectations were for it to do much better. I thought it would have gotten third this month behind Battlefield and Bloodborne.



how FF 0 bomb? Says 400K on vgc or is that wrong? Or maybe MP10 is wrong and it should be higher?

Bomb unexpected regardless. :O

According to Venturebeat, revenue:

''The big drag on revenue was definitely new hardware sales, which were down 21 percent from $393.4 million in March 2014 to just $311.1 million this year.''

You obviously have to calculate in the Xbox One being $150 cheaper than last year.

Proof???

Mario Party 10: #4 (only Wii U)

Final Fantasy Type 0: #10 (All version)

 

I think he's asking for your proof of "a lot"

What does that even supposed to mean? PS4 beat the XBO in February and January, as well.


Feb had The order 1886, and well XB1 was same price for 1/2 the month in Jan. And well XB1 does crap when its the same price. I'd wait for April, when both have no major exclusives and the XB1 has a price advantage.


I am not trying to be funny or jump in your convo....but did you jut use The Order as an excuse as for why the PS4 won Feb? And then in Jan used it was the same price for 1/2 month? So it should have outsold the PS4 in Jan using that logic because the PS4 had nothing while for half the month the XB1 was cheaper. So why wait until April? It didn't outsell it in Jan with a half month advantage at a lower price. I guess it just doesn't make sense to me. I personally want both to do well but it just loooked like you were throwing out excuses IMO. No offense though.

 

OT:

I want to know the exact numbers for all systems! Not bad 3DS and I feel bad for the Wii U even though it is up YOY that number still makes me sad



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

A bit of both probably.

I was expecting that also. Certainly didn't expect it to be last.
