I expect Sony to do what they did with FIFA and market an unofficial PS4 x CoD bundle. It's going to happen, it's inevitable really.
Same with Assassins, same with Witcher 3, Division and pretty much any official marketing deal/bundle MS has.
I mean even if Sony doesn't do it retailers will. PS4 just sells so much better in Europe.
I expect every non exclusive will be bundled with a PS4 no matter who has the marketing contract (like they did with Fifa).
BIU Sales Awards (Germany)
200k
FIFA 15 (Electronic Arts / EA Canada) PS4
FIFA 15 (Electronic Arts / EA Canada) PS3
100k
FIFA 14 (Electronic Arts / EA Canada) PC (incl. digital sales)
Die Sims 4 (Electronic Arts / EA Maxis) PC
Watch Dogs (Ubisoft / Ubisoft Montreal) PS3 (incl. digital sales)
Destiny (Activision / Bungie) PS4
Important note: They now include digital sales in these awards. They get those numbers directly from the publishers. But it depends on title and publisher. Console numbers for Fifa are without digital sales for instance.
No 500k multiplatform award for FIFA 15.
So XO+X360+Wii+WiiU+PSV+PC< 100k
Interesting. (If only we still had the UK awards...)
Weird how FIFA included PC download sales for FIFA, but not consoles. On the other hand, Ubisoft included Watch Dogs download for consoles. I guess they'll only do it if it's enough to cross the mark (100k, 200k, 500k)
Microsoft needs a really strong Q4.
The more PS4 is pulling away the harder it will be for Microsoft to sign co marketing deals.
I think opposite. More PS4 pulls away easier it will be for MS to sign co-Marketing deals as the publishers will know that if they want to try a unique idea MS will be easy target to make it exclusive and get the fundings.
Even PS3 got quite a few co marketing deals where Sony is always cash strapped.
No splits or LTDs though? :/From latest MCV issue:
Over 200,000 home consoles (so, I suppose both old and current gen consoles considered) sold in UK during September
Shelly Pearce, Nintendo UK: "Pre-orders for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are doing really well. They're higher than X and Y"
Simon Kemp, Nintendo UK: "And that is a pattern we're seeing globally"
There are also both Individual and All Formats September top 40s.
No splits or LTDs though? :/
You know the answer.
The uptake of the PS4 compared to the PS3 in terms of life cycle stage is 40% higher, Dos Santos said, with Ster-Kinekor expecting to sell another 70,000 to 100,000 PlayStation 4 consoles in the next year.
In truth at launch it was challenging because we didnt have supply, so well probably get a fair measure once weve been through this festive [season], Dos Santos said.
Once the new figures are in, he said they expect sales of the PS4 to be 50% up on the PS3 on a like-for-like life cycle basis.
I dont know if its posted anywhere on Neogaf but i think it does need to be mentioned here
PS4 is >40,000 in South Africa
PS3 is > 300,000

That's worth making a thread for Noobie. Do you want me to do it?

For comparisons sake:
(First 18 months)
Nintendo Wii - 91,552 (October 2007 - April 2009)
Xbox 360 - 57,792 (October 2006 - April 2008)
PlayStation 3 - 43,185 (April 2007 - October 2008)
It launched in April 2007.so if we take the statement from the article that PS4 uptake is going >40% then PS3 was probably around 30K after 10 months?
Assuming PS3 launched in South Africa in December-January
It launched in April 2007.

top 5 nice spot for Drive club
FIFA 15 (-35%) makes it four straight weeks at No1 holding off the challenge of several new releases.
It also matches FIFA 13 in holding the top spot for four straight weeks from launch. One survival horror title replaces another at No2 this week as Bethesda Softworks third release of the year The Evil Within debuts in second place. Its comfortably ahead of another new release Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! which lands at No3. Take2s latest addition to the series debuts on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC with no sign of Xbox One or PS4 versions. With two new releases taking 2nd and 3rd Warners Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (-51%) drops a place to No4.
Forza Horizon 2 (-39%) is also pushed down a spot to No5 in its third week. Last weeks No2 Alien: Isolation (-70%) slides four places to No6 but does enough to stay ahead of Destiny (-22%) at No7. PS4 exclusive title Driveclub (-45%) drops down to No8 in its second week. Minecraft: Playstation Edition (+14%) climbs a place this week with a boost in sales seeing it claim No9. Codemasters latest Formula One title F1 2014 makes a Top 10 debut at No10.
so if we take the statement from the article that PS4 uptake is going >40% then PS3 was probably around 30K after 10 months?
