i mean like the whole subscription whatever its called. 



PS4 can’t lose! X1 needs to announce better things than the weekly new additions to BC. No way you’ll catch the competition when you’re liteslly going backward.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

At this rate, there's no way Switch is going make the 20 million goal for the year that Nintendo predicted. 

Nintendo didn't "predict" 20 million units this year, they set a goal of 20 million units in the FY. That goal should definitely be met.

Have you been on the internet in the past 24 hours or so? Just asking. The answer should be quite obvious. The year doesn't end in December, it ends March for Nintendo. And besides we don't know the full extent of their E3. This isn't the first time that the internet doubted Nintendo though, they even broke their own expectations. Twice.

Easy to break expectations if you set them low ;)

But yeah, people are jumping to conclusions VERY quickly, we know there's Pokémon, albeit a spinoff but the franchise will still help move consoles, then there's Smash Bros. this year and... some other stuff that I can't remember but I know I'm interested in Smash Bros. so yeah that's why I mentioned it... Smash Bros. 

 

Well, true. The 10M was lowballing it, but then they upped it to 16M and sold more than even that. 

Still, as you said, it's gonna be packed for the second half of the year alone, who knows what Jan-March will bring. I mean we have, Pokemon Lets Go, Smash, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Octopath, and a slew of other medium sized games. I think they'll hit 20M. I too, can't wait for the Smash reveal, I hope my heart can take it, lol.

Seems like the PS4 is gonna' fall just short of the 80m goal by E3, was that set by them or just users on here? I can't even remember, lol.

Curious why do you say that? With the Days of Play sale happening just before E3 they should easily surpass 80m. A $350 PS4 pro is going to sell very, very, very well.

What’s going on with Xbox? Seems the weekly ps4 numbers are getting further and further apart lately. Nearly 30k difference. I can only imagine what it’ll look like in a couple of weeks once Sony’s days of play starts.
