enjoy it while it lasts Sony

now you haven't let crossplay happen in Fortnite, literally no one will ever buy your console again and xbox is about to surge into the lead

Fortnite is -30FPS with broken frame pacing on Switch. And that is when there is nothing goin on, DF handt enough balls to show what happening when the battle starts.

Cross play with PC users will be a pleasure to them...

So true. Since you have to have a Wifi connection to play this game anyways, people should look to the PS Vita and Remote Play, if they want a handheld for Fortnite. Gives you solid 540p/60 streamed from both PS4 and PS4 Pro, as opposed to the 360p/25 you get from the Switch. It supports cross play with PC, MAC, iOS, and Android for those that are into it, and you are connected to 80+ million active gamers on PSN. On top of all of that you can enjoy your enitre PS4 library from anywhere in the world, as long as you have decent Wifi or 4G via tethering. 

Sony should be appluaded for having the best Home and Mobile Fortnite expereince within a single platform, and the only place you can play every current and upcoming game on both Console and Handheld.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

PS4 on top again. With Spiderman coming up I think PS4 will be on top at least until october 

It'll be interesting how hard the Spider-Man marketing will be pushed as not only Sony cares about the game doing well, but also Marvel. I think the PS4 will have its best September since September 2014 (Destiny 1 launch).

thats a high bar right there

So Matt said that Dark Souls Remaster took 21st place, I really wonder where it could of place had the Switch version not been delayed?

According to Reset Era page, the best selling software was

1. God Of War
2. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
3. Detroit: Becoming Human
4. Hyrule Warriors

Looks like DKC is really doing well.

LOL saw this just after I made my post about software sales, very curious about State of Decay. Since it is the worst selling big exclusive of the month. 

 

Also the only way to celebrate Donkey Kong getting second place LOL.

Lol this did not age well over the day

Hear, hear.

I've sold my PS4 and will be picking up an X1 and a Switch in December. Must punish such behaviour.

remember to switch back again when you realise MS put free to play games behind Gold

Indeed. I might switch back anyways as i'm all into the "SJW" games Sony releases.

That's a pretty good list of software, but I don't think it's going to be enough to take Q1 2019.  One huge factor is that PS4 is an aging system and most people that want one have already bought one.  Switch is new, and people are waiting for their key game before they get one.

So, I think PS4 is going to dominate this year up until November or December, and then Switch will take over the hardware charts.  This is really about Generation 8 dying off and Generation 9 coming into its own.  It will happen right at the end of this year.  That's when Switch will overtake PS4 for good.

Yeah, PS5 has been on the market for a while. Though since it's still selling really well, I'm starting to wonder how far it can go if they cut the price further. (And I'm not sure they will ever get to that attractive $199 permanently at this point.)

Yeah I expect them to cut the price before the holidays this year.  That is why I'm not willing to predict November will go to Nintendo even with a Pokemon game coming out.  Still, the PS4's peak year will either be last year or this year.  (The two years will be close.)  The $300 price tag doesn't seem to be hindering most people from buying.  The world economy is very good right now, much better than it was during most of the PS3 years.  The price cut to $200 will give PS4 a boost, but it won't be nearly as big as the drop from $400 to $300.  Most PS4 buyers have already bought.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Also need to remember it was a $40 release and the rankings are by revenue so in terms of unit sales it might be a few spots higher.

Yeah, actually thinking about it more, it should have its 2nd best September. September 2014 was extremely high due to the Destiny bundle while there will only be the Spider-Man Pro bundle AFAIK.

"It doesn't matter if Switch or PS4 is ahead"... "but I decided to say anyway since Switch was ahead with one week bonus"

I just copypaste almost hole post from Resetera, and that information actually gave quite clear picture how they stands without need to calculate yourself. But I guess you will again have hard time understand that like usual.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/may-2018-npd-u-s-hardware-predictions-closes-tuesday-june-12th.46649/page-10#post-9512467

You are making a great effort to not lose your point.

If you really think it's irrelevant who is ahead because they are basically tied, then you wouldn't had the urge to point it. That is the argument.

No wonder MS bought Undead Labs. Considering this doesn't include digital sales, I think that is fairly impressive for State of Decay 2.

Here is the top 20 software sales for May according to NPD:

State of Decay 2
God of War 2018
Detroit: Become Human
Far Cry 5
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze*
Grand Theft Auto V
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Ed*
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
Mario Kart 8*
NBA 2K18
MLB 18: The Show
Call of Duty: WWII
Super Mario Odyssey*
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*
FIFA 18**
Overwatch**
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
Assassin’s Creed: Origins
Monster Hunter: World

Great show for SoD2

Chart time!

More charts available on request.

 

Well, the PS4 clearly enjoyed a small residual effect from GoW, being up 18% YoY. It was the PS4's best May so far. However, considering it was down YoY every month from December to April, I'm not sure if it will still enjoy further YoY increases, especially since it's been stuck at the $300 price point since the Slim came out. The XBO continues to be up YoY (+32% vs. last May, and +29% YTD), even without any big deals, and I'm sure next month will be even bigger thanks to the big E3 sale. Finally, the Switch is essentially flat YoY. It hasn't lost any momentum, but it hasn't gained any, either. We'll see how long it can keep it up at the current price point, especially with the only big marquee title in the second half of the year being Smash.

The thing is X1 had the TOP seller of the month and a big discount, still tied with Switch and was very far from PS4. So I don't think it will be a certainty for X1 to win next month.

I think pokemon go might hurt the franchise. i'm sure most people buying are gonna think its a true mainline pokemon for the core fanbase, when the game is average, and i'm expecting low review scores, it ill kill the hype the pokemon 2019 big time to the people that don't follow games before release.

Except for the fact that The Pokemon Company and Nintendo made it very clear that Let's Go is not Gen 8 and that the true mainline Pokemon game for the core fanbase, the real Gen 8, is in development and planned to release in next year. And if anyone paid even the slightest attention, they would know that.
As for killing hype for Gen 8 in 2019?

Then you need to see zorg post with Nintendo claiming it is a mainline Pokemon.

They absolutely do.

I don't need to check reviews to buy from ND and SSM.

That is a very big case of "the last smiling is smiling better" or whoever you translate it to english version of the last standing.

Unfortunately there have been some cuckos complaining about promotion of TLOU director, and that he panders to SJW and that he forced Ellie being gay and endorse Sarkosian (while he only said that her channel made him aware of a useful thing to think when designing a char, thinking what would change if gender or color was different and if he choosing default white male was better or not for the game).
