I dont know..   Arkham Origins sold WAY less in 2013.. then the two previous games did..    Both X360 and PS3 versions of the game did NOT hit 1 million in NA..  prior games sold more then 2 million on both consoles..  in North America.. alone.. 

Yes.. I do think this game seems to have a bigger BUZZ.. But picking a summer release makes me think they don't think its going to be a HUGE seller.. As June/July/August are DEAD times for gaming..  

And the game is available on X1..   Its not an EXCLUSIVE..     so no reason the bundle is really that big of a deal..   It will sell well....  But I feel like a 1TB X1 with NEW controller is a "bigger" sale pusher..   maybe not.. we will see...     

Arkham Origins was a poorly reviewed spinoff handled by an entirely different studio. It's going to be huge, and considering the fact that the Batman bundle keeps selling out I think it's going to move a lot of PS4s. 


Something selling out is NEVER an indication of anything.  They have have only a few hundred Bundles each time.. We don't know..    I am not saying it won't sell well.. But it also does only have 7 days.. instead of two weeks for the X1 1TB bundle..        It could still be close..        I didn't say X1 would win.. I asked if would make a difference..    I am not sure the Batman bundle makes a big difference for the month was my point..

It's very likely it's going to be big for the PS4. We all saw how quickly preorders of the limited edition bundle disappeared on Amazon multiple times. Abdiel also echoed this phenomenon in one his assessments on GAF (he's in charge of Best Buy) and he described the situation as "almost comical". The only thing that will hold the bundles and Batman back is availablility.

You dont have a clue...Destiny was on x1 as well and Ass creed unity was on ps4 yet those bundles caused big Hardware spikes...Same as GTA 4 making ps3 win the US after 32 month streak from MS...Being multiplat doesn;t mean anything. people looking to jump into next gen will see the bundle and buy a ps4. The bundles have sold out almost immediately on amazon, gamestop and everytime more come in they sell out again.

 

Origins was a spin off, this is going to be big.

 

Retailers on GAF have said it is a big mover....Your fanboy denials won;t change the facts. X1 is going to lose big in June.

Splatoon continues to hold well. Also, yearly chart updates show it climbing quick. Now at 72 yearly.

My Fanboy denials.. ?  My PS4 says hello..         I didn't deny anything..and I didnt say X1 would win the month..    I just questioned some of the aspects of the release.. also only being 7 days for the month .. if you read my next posting..        I have very many clues.. and use all of them..  and don't call people names or questioning their intellingence when I don't know anything about them..  you should think about doing that..

Saying you own a ps4 is the first sign someone is biased nor does it mean you do not have a biased opinion. One look at your post history and it is laughably obvious.

 

You have no clues, facts are facts the batman bundle is moving big and it is a big franchise.

You may want to cool it. Don't want to get banned on your first day.
