Monster Hunter World seems to have worked out extraordinarily well for Capcom, #1 on both PS4 and Xbox One. They must be extremely happy with those sales. What expectations did they have again?

Whatever they had as estimates, this shattered it. I imagine they expected 4-5 million max lifetime, honestly. Not 5 million first day, and 6 million so far.

Destiny 2 not in the top 20? Looks like the game has severely dropped off. By comparison, Splatoon 2 and Rainbow Six Siege are both in the top 20, and both those games came out well before destiny.

Unexpectedly (at least for me), Monster Hunter seems to have found an audience on Xbox (at least in the US and UK). Color me surprised.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Can't wait for the numbers to see if the "Leniency" bet kicks in. All indications are that it will though.

If it does he will have an excuse, we know this, he will say how he meant July of 2018 would be worse or some BS. 

If he lost the bet with CGI, then we can say what we want to him (Within reason). Maybe that will help to make him realise how "Misguided" he has been.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I do not think those kind of bets should be made even if win or lose. However I am not a mod, neither do I want to be. I just do not like questionable users who try their hardest to discount something like he has been doing since November.

also the only reason ps4 is not beating switch in sales, is xbox,, they have stepped up there game with great deals on the S, and made great premium with the X.

if super nes and 3ds did a combined 250k, i should easily win. switch,xbox, and ps4 are extremely close un units sales according to matt, and i raised the bet to 295k for the extra week, and he agreed.

Oh, so it changed. That's pretty convenient for you then. Well that wouldn't be quantifiable if 2013 was a 5 week month for the PS4 though. Still, we can't really speculate on numbers yet, only have revenue to go on.

It's been going on longer than that! I know he has annoyed many users but on the plus side he has amused many too with his "Wisdom"!
