I'm really interested in the sales Dragon Quest Builders will get, I am expecting a bigger LTD than DQH that released last year in the west. It's getting solid reviews and is a minecraft like, however, its sales are hurt no matter what due to lack of multiplayer which is extremely unfortunate and almost makes me a little annoyed because this game could have been a real hit because it sold surprisingly well in Japan at retail with around 600-650k copies, and with digital is probably over or close to 700k in Japan without any multiplayer which is pretty good nowadays because online seems to be a big part of what gives games decent legs nowadays, and we all know people in the US and Europe love there online, so a little bit of a missed opportunity. I'm gonna make a prediction, Dragon Quest Builders, from release till January in the US, the game will sell 200k or more

I think it will do good enough to warrant DQB2 coming to the West, which is going to include multiplayer by the way.

It's not a coincidence that there is a lot of software in the top 20 at the moment and the console are not getting into the top 20. Sofware is pushing consoles down. I wouldn't mind betting that IF that software wasn't selling so well, the console would be a good 8 - 10 places higher.

I'm sure they'll announce The Infinite Warfare bundle the week after PSVR launch. They probably just sitting on it until the get through some of the old stock.

People go on Amazon to buy a PS4. The PS4slim is out of stock. I wonder which PS4 they'll buy ...?

It's deliberate.

When will be the PSVR's launch ?



I'm shocked Mafia III is that high. After the Crowbcat video, I thought that would have sent everyone running and screaming in the other direction from it. It shouldn't have came out this year.

The Gears Bundle isn't holding well and I can't see anything other than 'extra incentives' boosting it back up again.
