A good sign for the current games-industry. Europe is very great for console sales and has a good games taste :) My prediction: Christmas 2017 will be extremely strong for the PS4 - especially also the first 2018 quarter & the Year 2018. Alone in January, the dream-JRPG Ni No Kuni 2, the new big Monster Hunter World and the beautiful Dragon Ball Fighters Z will appear. Let's see how high the records of PS4 sales figures in Europe will be.

and if you factor in that PS4 sales will last longer than the Wii's did...... PS4 is going to end up HUGE in europe.

Wii ended up doing like ~34m in europe, I wouldnt be surprised if PS4 does more than 45m.



How can PS4’s total sales be 25 million?

 

Nevermind, Europe only



Predicted 15+ million lifetime-sales for God of War:

I just .... I don't ...... Hmmm

A Nintendo console sold worse in Europe than .... Playstation?

VGChartz must surely be wrong



Everyone knows Europe is totally biased against Nintendo.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Considering we are about 4 years in this gap will now only grow wider... and at one point PS4 will start closing good distance WW against Wii.

Not the most interesting fight to take place in Europe, but still interesting. It's likely going to transition into a bit of a starching before it's all over.

Is it interesting because the PS4 is winning?



This was an interesting fight for the first 3 years of the gen. But now it's a foregone conclusion with Wii dropping off a cliff from this point forward. One of the aspects of last gen that really surprised me was just how quickly Wii entered a death spiral.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Death spiral or cordless bungee jump?
