Lauster on 13 November 2015

Like someone said earlier, if it's 935k with bundles, then that number already includes some of the digital version (bundles were digital only).

You do know that one game being 20% does not mean that the bar has been set at a 20% minimum and thus you can't just assume that every game gets 20% or more... right?

Yes, I know, I just pointed out that 20% is pretty realistic estimate. 

Btw, also found this http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/14/analyst-digital-makes-up-as-much-as-25-of-total-game-sales/ 

Nothing in your link supports the idea that 20% is the minimum.  It just says that there are instances where it can make up 25%.

So it's confirmed xb1 won by 30k? that's not much if it plans to get US back. xb1 needs to score a big one this november and december to make a dent on the gap, otherwise, by January, everything will fall to normal and ps4 will keep expading the lead.

With the CoD and Star Wars bundles for PS4 this month, and Halo having done less than standard Halo numbers, I don't think XB1 is really going to be able to make much headway this holiday.  I certainly don't see them making up as much ground as they were able to last year.

Source?

Destiny was 20% digital according to this info http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/13/1-in-5-destiny-copies-are-digital-and-helps-lift-industry-according-to-analyst/

Aware of that. 20% is pretty much high end. I want the source that says digital is between 20-25%.

There is a link in my reply to  Neodegenerate.

Does this include games that are digital only? Having games that have 100 % digital attach rate will give a misleading figure.

I agree but you never know, MS can get desperate and do another firesales though I don't think they plan to do that.  They are more concern about profit now.

65k is less than 69k. Who should I believe?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

That percentage pertains to software sales.

Boutros.

IGN: The Wii U console also saw an increase in sales of 40% over last October

NE: Additionally, Nintendo says that Wii U hardware sales saw a 40 percent increase compared to October of last year.

IGN's poorly constructed sentence was understandbly misunderstood by NE. Given what was already posted (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7613313) about Wii U being down in the year, the whole paragraph below could only be about SW

The Wii U console also saw an increase in sales of 40% over last October. According to Nintendo, sales "have increased more than 20 percent in the first 10 months of 2015," compared to the same time period last year.
