7th for QB. Well that just confirms it...

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

God QB really didn't do aswell as it was hoped. Could we see remedy going third party?

If they get a good offer to do it they'd be stupid not to. But then again you can probably say that for 99% of the exclusive deals.

If Microsoft are being tight with the cash which they seem to be Sony should make them an offer. Games like heavy rain, beyond 2 souls and until dawn seem to do well on Playstation

Spoiler: it's not Wii U or XBO

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.

Great software month for Sony.

MS will be disappointed with the performance of QB. Can't imagine it having any kind of legs either. Think it needed a very strong metascore, >85, to get any kind of traction.
