Let me break it down...

HW - No huge surprises, not on prediction, but not too shocking. Pies will tell the tale, it's boring.

SW - Metldown city. Not so much in rankings, although there are definite surprises. But the numbers, Mason. The numbers.


Not on prediction? What does that mean? PS4 really close?


It means the XBO won.

How come they knew the result before PR or twitter 'leaks' this month?

and an even smaller possibility that Assassin's Creed will be #1 (extra platform, 4 extra days, strong 2nd week...).

Unless i'm reading this wrong, VGC has Unity's FW at 600k-700k. Ubi said Syndicate had a weaker first week but better legs so overall should be similar. That's not enough to be #1

I said it's a small possibility. I don't trust VGC software numbers even 1%, they just make those figures up as they see fit.


Fuck off. No, I don't.

I'm happy to accept all sorts of criticism for the software sales since taking them over. It's been a mighty learning curve and I've made plenty of mistakes over the last couple of weeks. You can criticise those mistakes or argue that the extrapoaltions from the samples we receive are well off all you like, but I'm not going to be accused of making the figures up on a whim on our own website. I'm doing my best and hope to improve the accuracy of the figures over time and to make timely adjustments based on official data once I'm given that functionality.

Don't let arseholery get to you. The vast majority love you and are grateful for what you are doing and the efforts you are making.

I image the only reason there wouldn't be any spin is if Xb one wins big. If it is a small win AND if Halo 5 sells somewhat lower than people would have thought from the $440 million figure there will be spin.

Well yeah, but isn't that the general prediction?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

The figure was 400 million, not 440.

Reads like hardware goes to Xbox sense that was the expected win. People like to see surprises which would have been Sony taking Halo month. Software sounds like it can only be talking about Halo sales to me. Probably lower then expected of the franchise.

Well, if Microsoft won, Congrats to them!

I take is as harware close and in the order one would expect and software is also in the order one would expect but there isn't as much in it as one would expect ... LOL
