[Guevara]

TLOU remastered selling so well tells us something about how console exclusivity hurts sales.

After all, a bunch of folks never owned a PS3 so the PS4 version is their first chance to buy it.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Can everyone harping on about the wii u atleast acknowledge it sold 29k last July? Thats a pretty big year over year increase..

29k is a disaster number

81k is still a laughable number

Yeah, the YoY rise will give you a notorious % to post in your monthly PR statement, dosn't mean both numbers are terrible, just one way more terrible than the other.

 

[Chezzymann]

Where are people getting the 81k Wii U figure?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

You are a lucky man! Tell your wife that neogaf thinks she's awesome. I'm sure that won't be creepy at all

 

[Dragonborn]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

Oooo, get started on DK man!

 

[lmbotiva]

300k and then vanish huh Gies?

Anyway, nice to see TLoU up there, deserves it.

whats this about polygon and this dude?

 

[Vestax]

Polygon did an "analysis" article on historical Mario Kart game sales and tie ratio's with previous Nintendo Consoles and predicted MK8 would only have 1.2M lifetime sales worldwide. The game already surpassed that last month and is on the verge of beating it in ust the US alone.

Thanks as well. I was lost about it myself.

 

[illmatic22]

TLOU stay winning and there ain't nothin yall can do about it.

Now give me Uncharted trilogy remastered.

HOLY CRAP! MY WIFE JUST CAME HOME WITH A WII U AND A TON OF GAMES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!

HEART...ATTACK...

Better take her out sometime then!

 

[FourMyle]

lol'd irl at people trying to paint 81k as acceptable.

 

[Gator86]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

 

[vcc]

I think it was just a lucky guess

Not even a hard guess. Just extrapolating orevious sales data and the 7m announcr would put 10m at right about a gamescom.

 

[Loudninja]

arne is happy

@arnemeyer

Yay NPD results!

[Orthogonal]

I'm unfamiliar with the usual timetable. When do we all the hardware numbers?

Whenever an insider hints at them for us or one of the major companies gives us enough info to deduce them. At this point we only have hope an insider will share.

 

[KingSnake]

And yet is still well below 100k which is a pathetic number.

Never said the baseline wouldn't be higher than before. I'd said that the jump would be barely noticiable and still pathetic, and here we are.

Indeed being below 100k is not good, but your snarky comment about momentum is quite over the top when a console that is anyhow dead is selling 81k compared to 48k before with no other retail games until September. This is all just MK8 momentum.

Edit: you can laugh as much as you like, but at list do it with the right argument, that the Wii U is dead.

 

[DryvBy]

TLOU stay winning and there ain't nothin yall can do about it.

Better take her out sometime then!

Haha, we were going out for Japanese and Guardians tomorrow so this just works out.

[Codeblew]

This reminds me. Where the fuck is Cerny. He's vanished for months now.

Working on the PS5.

 

[neojubei]

Good job Naughty Dogs

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Ghosts sold most on Xbox One?

Huh?

 

[C4Lukins]

Can everyone harping on about the wii u atleast acknowledge it sold 29k last July? Thats a pretty big year over year increase..

Yeah but they had their biggest franchise launch last month, and now they are already back down below 100k. They do have a steady amount of first party releases coming up, but the system is looking quite sickly.

 

[big_z]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

Since when did 3d world come in a red box?

 

[Creamium]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

Tropical Freeze is goty, get on that gem stat

 

[Katana_Strikes]

But they were right about the 10 million.

So was I and many others that predicted it too but I'm not about to put the lottery on or trust these guys.

 

[jamesinclair]

I'm confused about the Nintendo SKU stuff In the op

 

[Curufinwe]

Two reasons:

• It was such a good game, people felt it was worth the asking price to doulble dip to play an even better version.
  
• People who own a PS4 that didn't have a PS3 last gen and wanted to play last years GOTY.

3. PS3 owners like me who were happy to wait for a superior PS4 version.

 

[Korten]

Haha, we were going out for Japanese and Guardians tomorrow so this just works out.

Guardians of the Galaxy? Good man.

 

[TyrantII]

There is no stopping Sony now, I just hope they don't return to that arrogant Sony.

If there is a couple of million people like me that jumped ship to the Playboat then is no surprise TLOU:R is at No. 1.

Fucking game has the best god damn gunplay on a third person shoter right now.

QFT

And the methodical, brutal MP is no slouch either.

 

[Kusagari]

Wii U is more than doubling its previous sales.

Did people seriously expect Mario Kart 8 to boost Wii U to consistently being above 100k? You've got to remember how fucking bad Wii U was doing previously.

 

[phanphare]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

you got the best game on the console and one of the best platformers ever made imho

which is Tropical Freeze, if that wasn't obvious

have fun man!

 

[theDeeDubs]

anyone notice he hits the eject button?

also, LOL

Was just thinking the same. Plus, I wish my standby wasn't orange.

 

[frizby]

3. PS3 owners like me who were happy to wait for a superior PS4 version.

Same. Rented on PS3.

 

[SDCowboy]

Any number estimates yet?

 

[Mooreberg]

Making The Last of Us available to people who never had a PS3 was the right move.

 

[Amir0x]

Ghosts sold most on Xbox One?

Huh?

already explained. COD: Ghosts on XBO had a massive sale compared to the PS4 version which did not

Making The Last of Us available to people who never had a PS3 was the right move.

Seems so. Last of Us 2 will be massive

 

[icespide]

Ghosts sold most on Xbox One?

Huh?

it had a pretty big sale on Xbox One

 

[Canis lupus]

But they were right about the 10 million.

No they weren't. Their numbers are just guesses, they also reported 8M PS4's after Watch Dogs came out. Stop going to that dumb site.

 

[iamvin22]

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

Hopefully she kept the receipt for Epic Mickey 2.

Ah ok. That explains it.

 

[Eolz]

(replying to this one because it recaps the other ones)

Two reasons:

• It was such a good game, people felt it was worth the asking price to doulble dip to play an even better version.
  
• People who own a PS4 that didn't have a PS3 last gen and wanted to play last years GOTY.

The second one is perfectly logical and good imo, i'm just surprised people from the first reason double dip day 1 and don't wait for at least a small pricedrop (

Spoiler

it's not a nintendo game staying years at the same price after all

). Great game, very good remaster, wouldn't have been as much surprised if this happened a year or two later I guess.

 

[Evenflow]

29k is a disaster number

81k is still a laughable number

Yeah, the YoY rise will give you a notorious % to post in your monthly PR statement, dosn't mean both numbers are terrible, just one way more terrible than the other.

Yes the numbers are still pretty bad. Point is, it did get a "bump" and baseline increase from kart. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Ghosts sold most on Xbox One?

Huh?

fire sale

In GameCrate we trust!

I would guess Mario Kart 8 and Minecraft 360 are probably 2 and 3, but not sure about the order.

Edit: you can laugh as much as you like, but at list do it with the right argument, that the Wii U is dead.

I remember that ppl were expecting a way higher baseline and effect of MK8 word of mouth. I don't see how laughing at that is wrong.

People are laughing at Polygon shitty pie chart too...

 

[theprodigy]

Can everyone harping on about the wii u atleast acknowledge it sold 29k last July? Thats a pretty big year over year increase..

This is like looking at the MoM increase for Vita in May and saying "hey look it's a pretty big increase, stop saying these are bad numbers!"

 

[Namikaze1]

We've been getting constant restocks on the game since it came out, and it keeps selling well. This remaster has definitely paid off big time for Sony.

It certainly has. I personally don't know how many times we had to restock the game but man it's been selling out quick over here. Gonna see how many copies we have of the current stock left tomorrow since I haven't worked since Monday.

 

[Vilam]

Congrats to Sony on the PS4 and TLoU topping the charts - every sale well deserved.

 

[allan-bh]

Nintendo LTDs includes eShop sales?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yes

She saidI can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

I find this hilarious.
