I'm surprised XB1 Destiny outsold PS4 Destiny, even when you exclude the bundles.

Its kind of stupid really since the PS4 Destiny Bundle was basically system + price of the game.

Omg.
Am I experiencing a full fledged meltdown?
Calm down, it's not the end of the world.

At some point though, a father will tell his son is time to man up, move out and get a job.

Hah!
This has been a strange start to the gen. Very high starts for two platforms, with a significant drop in interest for a large part of the year, followed by PS4 acting like a firm market leader.
I'll add this bodes big things for PS4 going into the holidays. A showing like this means the interest is very much there. Waiting for the right software. The holiday season could be very very good for the industry this year.

Great Ps4 sales! Can't believe Bloodborne is only 4 months away!
I must admit the graphical fidelity here is just stunning. Jaw dropping even. And I thought the jump to next gen wouldn't be of sufficient magnitude; and then you have incredible sequences like this.

In all fairness, you do come across as remarkably patronising to those who have chosen the PS4...

Whoa, I thought the predictions of 500k + were a bit ambitious, well done by Sony. There's absoluteley no way of determining this, but I wonder what the key driver of the Destiny bundle was; the game or the white console? For me personally it was probably about 30% Destiny, 70% wanted dat white console.

Here we go!
US hates Vita but loves Borderlands 2, similar ratio as launch month iirc.
Better than the usual spin. Clear and strsightforward.
Surprised that they didn't say anything about sales during the free game week though.
The PR reads like the system did under 200K and I just don't see how that could have been possible. Guess we'll find out soon.
I really couldn't care less what Bish thinks of me tbh. But my question is, what has that got to do with this thread?
Creamsugar has arrived!

Indeed, I find it funny. I have a Wii U and like it. I find the chalkboard joke funny. It is one big game...

Didn't NPD give out more specific numbers for each system?
Don't they count out certain retailers? Like Wal-Mart?

No. NPD directly tracks 90% of the entire video game retail market in the USA.
They include all major retailer networks.
For example, NPD tracks Wal-Mart, walmart.com, Sam's Club, and samsclub.com.

Not to derail the thread from console fist pumping but Jesus that Bloodborne looks good. Based on the success of the Souls series I'm actually more excited to see numbers from next Feb than I am September.

Vita is still dead, those sales are just the dead body twitching
Sorta figured, but I take his stance on hardware sales lightly. For him guessing hardware sales is for entertainment purposes, not much at stake for himself if hes wrong.
Its been that way for the entire year though.
Return of the King is what's going on :3
