thismeintiel on 20 October 2015

According to NPD, the PS4 just passed 9M in the US. Does that affect the estimates any?

It doesn't matter which day, week, month or year you look at; the numbers are still low. Flat in the US yoy for one month is decent enough but overall it'll probably be down yoy globally despite some growth in Japan.

And what do you mean by "pulling a PS3" anyway? The PS3 sold almost 8 million in its first full CY, with a staggered launch from Japan and was never anywhere near this low in the first years, it also grew consistently every year for 5-6 years and peaked at around 14 million in its best year. And it has had a 9 year lifespan now. Which of those do you believe the Wii U will be capable of?

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just wondering whether there are still actual, real human beings who believe in some divine comeback at this point. All signs point to less than 20 million lifetime right now, there is literally zero indication of anything else and lots of indications that even Nintendo themselves are preparing to move on and try again with new products.
The problem here isn't that others are being negative, it's rather that you are being way too optimistic with no basis in actual numbers and the reality of the market unfolding before us.

Sorry for looking at stuff in realistic/postive view on things instead dwelling in the past and being so negative. Reason why i stay away now from all these forums and dont post anymore  on vg. Can't say something positive without a post with some kind of backhanded comment or bitchy ass comment. Then i defend myself then i get banned. I come on here now just to see numbers.

If you think it's just me. I understand why IOI has lagged on the numbers all people do here is complain when the numbers come in how overtracked or undertracked he is. Common sense tells anyone getting exact numbers is always going to be hard and people should appiciate what he does and stop bitching that he isnt exact.

I came hear on this thread to expect lower numbers and saw a positive boost sorry i got happy about Mario Maker doing well a jumping sales. Could not even go one reply without someone pissing on my grave. 

 

Dude don't be so sensitive, he asked u a legitimate question, what about these results make u believe "pulling a PS3" is going to happen? Being down YoY in the 3rd full year on the market is pretty much the exact opposite of pulling a PS3.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Easy now.

Your argument doesn't makes sense, you're acting like the victim and then you go on rambling about appreciating Brett?

Serious question, are you drunk?

You do make one good point, Mario Maker is doing well.

Serious question, is that really a serious question?

Sometimes, perhaps, when my patience are not what they should be. ;)

Anyway, let's not derail the thead too much.

Have we had any definitive answer to whether the XB1 is up YoY or was that well placed comma a real thing?

Don't know, does anybody know what GAF is saying now?

I think we are going to be left with Estimates

A lot of Gaffers are saying they were talking about the monthly growth.
