Not before the Ouya gets a bar.

We need a OUYA bar. It would be interesting to see its sales.

I wish I could go back in time and laugh even harder at the people who donated money to that thing and actually thought it would amount to anything.

Edit - Robbing from Wiki

Sales

Market analyst NPD Group described Ouya sales in its first month as "relatively light",[52] while several outlets noted low sales of games on the service in initial reports from developers.[53][54] In April 2014, developer Matt Thorson stated that his title TowerFall, the Ouya's most popular game at the time, had only sold 7,000 copies for the console.[55]

Best selling game at 7k copies, says it all really.

You can't blame them for being optimistic, it wasn't really meant to compete against the main systems, much less sell like them. I'm sure at least can follow the sales of that Amazon and Apple TV boxes better.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

What was it meant to do? Because at the time of it's kickstarter there was a lot of suggestions that it would be an alternative to the big trio of gaming, I mean even at $8.5m raised on Kickstarter seeming like a large figure (before kickstart takes their cut and paypal of course) it was obviously not going to be enough to launch an actual functional console globally, even with a further investment of $10m which they got in 2015 they still closed doors on the project in debt to everyone who had been a part of the system.

All it really takes is a single look at the R&D figures which Sony/MS and Nintendo pump into their systems to see it was going to be a disaster.

Well, it technically was the best Android videogame console at the time? I'm sure now there are things that blow its specs out of the water with Android mobiles alone, but I'm sure it seemed like a good idea in paper. They were too naive and optimistic, that's for sure.

It would be quite pointless and pretty dumb. They're the same console, just different versions.



It's the same platform.

The only reason I can see anyone having a problem with this and merged sales figures is that they have an agenda that involves dividing up PS4 sales in the interest of downplaying sales dominance.

I'm assuming SCE is still planning on maintaining production of the original PS4 as a low cost alternative, but who knows. It may be more cost effective to produce one logic board with the updated chipset. But with the rumored $399 MSRP, SCE would be losing the $350 consumer demographic as this would be an effective price increase despite the higher specs and overall performance.



Nope (New 3DS and 3DS hadn't either).



Well I think a combined bar makes sense, but it would be nice to have it break down as well...
If only to know when PS4K surpasses "base" PS4, or to see how PS4K impacts sales growth,
i.e. will "base" PS4 sales actually decrease, or stay the same or even increase as well, etc?



i don't understand why my console get's grouped in with all of your consoles,.. it's a different console afterall. i think the appropriate thing to do is have one bar on the chart for every console sold.
