Heh, these are crazy times.  Just look what kind of difference one week can make.

Last Week This Week % Change
PS4          159,783          325,988 104%
Switch          396,479          147,832 -63%
XB1            53,615            47,191 -12%
3DS              4,251              4,431 4%


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

Gotta love how right from the title you gotta drive the narrative instead of letting the conversation flow naturally - As if you needed to explain or excuse anything. No bias at all.
Either way im surprised for the PS4's small boost to be honest, considering the pandemic more than anything - but also - because you'd think the base audience for FF7 - or any game for that matter - already owns a PS4. With those sales numbers I didnt think any game could boost PS4 sales in any way, shape or form at this point, no matter how small said boost is. Then again, its probably just people buying a console to spend their quartantine. Whatever the case, good for everyone I guess. Im looking forward to the end of the year when things come back to normal. Im tired.

Be a tiny bit gratefull for threads like this existing,and theres no driven narrative in it.

PS4 n FF7R be like:



PS1   - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.

PS2  - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.

PS3   - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.

PS4   - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.

PRO  -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.

PS5   - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.

PRO  -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.

For a first glance at the charts i thought the PS4 numbers and switch were mistakenly switched given their numbers last week!

I had no idea FFVII had that big of an influence on PS4s sales given its current price and the global pandemic and the fact that its a 7 year old console!!

Very impressed tbh and curious to see how the sales will be with a 100$ price cut for both Slim and Pro.
