Let me write this again.
So the Xbox One going from 141k in January to 258k in February to 311k in March is Titanfall not helping? ok

At least it means they're aware of it, I guess..

I know it's only a box you place under your tv but the huge size of the Xbone is a real turn off for me. It's very American and looks like a VCR box, compared to the small PS4 and WiiU which both just look much better and sleeker. A slim would really help its image in Asia and Europe where size matters.
You just compared QB and the Order to Persona... wut?

Mr. Sugar. I will give you the rights to the Namor movie if you tell me the overall platform split for Madden 15.

How are pre-orders for The Witcher looking?

Tie Ratio is an absolutely vital metric in the forecast trinity:
(Install Base) x (SW Tie Ratio) x (SW ARP) = SW Market Size
The SW Tie Ratio, from a publisher perspective, is not AS important as Installed Base, but it's a very important metric.
Both consoles are still doing exceptionally well.
Legacy consoles and handhelds? Different story. Still on their way to irrelevance.

IIRC from some other threads, Witcher XB1 + PS4 = roughly the same as The Order, which has somewhere in the 200k-250k range for preorders.
X1 lost to ps4 months before and the month titanfall came out. I hardly call that doing wonders.

Most Walmart's in my area are still selling the regular PS4 sku and have not received from the warehouse and or placed the TLOU bundles on shelves; clearing out that old stock... Not sure about th e rest of the country, but the bundle would have had little to no impact on sales...
I have seen them at Target, GS and BB for the past couple weeks though...

That is risky. Intel has been trying to perfect their 14nm process for 3 years and have just moved onto it. TSMC and GF are just now moving to it. It could be another 2 to 3 years before they have it perfected. AMD will be coming out with 20nm parts soon.
Maybe the PS4 and X1 don't come out with a new model, but I suspect the internals will move onto the 20nm process soon to make them more profitable.
Maybe allow for more affordable price cuts this holiday.
Man, such a huge bummer. Poorly relative to the overall market or expectations? Those were some of the best games of last year.
Beating last year is a collapse?
That's why I simply said $50 less than the PS4 instead of an actual price.

What's SW ARP?
Depends on how well Bloodborne and the order do.
It's much better to lose by 10k than 100k.

I imagine they might hit that by the end of March.

Not being #1 doesn't mean it didn't help or didn't do wonders. The Xbox One would've been far below the PS4 without Titanfall.

Sales would have turned to poop if they need to wait for Bloodborne before they hit 20m.

Price per transistor is starting to level off so 20nm probably won't be immediately advantageous.

I hate to say this, but Titanfall was special. The hype train for Titanfall was madness.I couldn't go on Twitter without seeing everyone (press) rave about Titanfall for weeks on end.
Titanfall, imo, will be unmatched in a long,long time in terms of pre-launch hype for a new IP.
That's still a small insignificant Number imo. Do you see that as a huge or even big jump?
Wow... if this mean more than 450k is amazing.
According to Aqua's contribution to the Predictions OP, Walmart is not carrying the TLOU bundles.

True, the difference could be as little as 7-10k.

ya i forgot about bloodborne and the order I think those two will elevate it over, how exciting
They need 1.5 million as of December. The early months of the year are generally the slowest.
I disagreed with your thought process in the other thread I disagree with you here. It's not just about sales, you simply think every X1 exclusive will be average or below average.
I can't really argue with someone with their mind already made up.
Not to mention only the first 2 (?) sentences really was relevant to our discussion.

But that doesn't seem to jive with the hardware renvenue being down. Even if the PS3, x360, 3DS and PSVita all cratered compared to last year

Beating last year means nothing, because XB1 number in Jan last year was really bad. We must know this Jan NPD number before making any judgement.

People really expect Bloodborne to move the mass market? LOL.
Software Average Retail Price... which in 2014 jumped to $27 from $24 in 2013 thanks to the console transition.
Tie ratios are tougher to calc on an aggregate due to which platforms you do or don't include, but the new gen consoles are holding their own there, too. When you include Digital, tie ratios are up big versus prior gen launch.
Then the installed bases, which are both still fantastic.
From any way you look at it, both boxes are having incredible starts and should provide confidence to anyone looking at the space.

If you ignore the context of his/her post then sure. It was pretty clear. Let me paraphrase "it will collapse after a strong December forcing them to keep the price at 350". Which is exactly what happened.
People will tend to believe this when you drop the price of your syster, bundle games with it, and have gift card promotions (depending on the store) on it, and still fail to edge out the competition.
its dying lights sales. its under 500 thousand and ps4 had around 56% of sales.

Than almost every month for any console (that's not the Wii) that isn't a holiday month would be small and insignificant. The number itself is big. Without Titanfall, the Xbox One would be significantly lower.

Oh.
I presume thats dyin light so 280k ps4 off the top of my head?
First they didnt keep it a $350. Second, Collapsed from what? December? Of course they. So did the PS4. If that was what you were talking about why even bring it up? Collapsed from last year? They beat last year..
Well that is a safe prediction then. Sales in January will collapse compared to December. Great work.
