The pro is not doing too hot. Sony should pack in cod infinite/modern warfare in with the pro for 349 to get it shifting.

Your trolling is amateur. 

The best thing about it he thinks he's being clever. Smart trolls are at least funny! This is just another dull type like prinz and nameless others that have come and gone.

Well, where were you back in 2013?

 

That was the time when people got crazy about spec and real/native 1080p resolution. And even then it was hard to tell the diference.

 

You can not blame people for expecting real and tangible upgrades and being desapoited when they can't even see the benefits of the Pro.

 

A lot of players are happy with their PS4s and Xones

Naaa, you're remembering it wrong, as many do. XB1 owners were saying the XB1 was more powerful than the PS4 (before it released) and continued afterwards. This lead to people constantly demonstrating the power differences by pointing out the higher resolutions on the PS4. But still it prevailed and secret sauce, DX12 and Cloud (also pushed as a solution by MS) kept them coming back for more. Eventually the burdon of proof got to them and they changed the narrative to PS4 owners are obsessed with power.

That's the reality.

The funny thing about this is that it's a fair observation that the both of you wouldn't have had a problem with if the shoe was on the other foot back when Xbox One S launched.

Stop trying to drown out and silence different opinions.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT YEARLY.

Pokémon Moon at #6, Pokémon Sun at #8... still a week before the official release damn.

And yeah, I just want to say how impressed I am with this.

Makes you wonder how it would have been doing without the boost given to the franchise by Pokémon Go.

Don't think that means it's selling any less. Just that the other products like the NES sold more during those hours. There's alot of new stuff in the charts currently that would push it down. You should know this. :]

You know I know how it works but in this case it's different. The Pro is the most powerful console on the market, is capable of native 4K and also uses checkerboard which reports suggest isn't really that noticeable from native 4K. The benefits for those with 1080p TVs is also now getting promoted. We're in a generation in which people complained (and scoffed) about the differences between 900p and 1080p and yet I'm seeing a strange narrative appearing centred around the notion that if it's not 4K it's not good enough. The Pro has resolution that far exede 1080p and here we are ONLY discussing 4K. 700p/900p/1080p were seen as a big things this gen but it appears that anything above that is of no real consequence, unless it's actually native 4K ... then the numbers mean something again.

The Pro is becoming the victim of fantom narrative, a pissing contest between a none existant console and a console you can buy now. The hype should have at least kept the Pro in the top 5 regardless of what was ahead of it. People like Colin Moriarty are crapping all over the Pro even on their PS podcast and Greg they're refusing to cover the Pro because Sony hasn't sent one to them. I can feel a cold, sour breeze blowing in from the bleachers and that's not good for business.

You make some very good points and i agree. There is a false, hypocritical, narrative being pushed about the Pro. Everyone complained about native 1080p and here's a console that will give you that and above for 100% of it's games and it's not enough suddenly. Maybe it can affect sales a little but i don't think it would be anything substantial.

In the case of Amazon, again, i think some take the charts way too literal sometimes. It's 8 on the monthly and 50 on the yearly. I don't see the problem. And the only reason it went down in the hourly is because of all the Nintendo products. Though it still didn't drop out of the top 20. I'd say is doing fine.

 



Formerly ilovegirls69  :(

Hey can i get a list of all game releases (that will at least do 100k) for NPD Oct and NPD Nov? (Seperate list)

Should do a prediction thread for each.



minutes ago
Also to add on, has anything other than psn cards been dominating the top spot (in this case top 2 for SuMo) for this long? Its been half a month now (since Oct 28th so 15days as of yesterday) and the games havent released yet.

Though BF deals can overtake the pokemon games SuMo might hold these spots for a long time
