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

Oh, you.

November NPD will be interesting!

Never have I seen one sentence so easily weed out 100s of people who don't know what they're talking about in sales threads.

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

I'm almost positive it's Dying Light, not hardware. PS4 was ~56% of sales, total sales was less than 500k.

When did Sony announce 18m sold WW (was that Nov)? Today's PR states 18.5m sold WW. Seems like demand for PS4 tailing off?
I know this a NPD thread, but Sony mentioned WW in their statement.

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.

Thanks!
 
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, where are you getting this from man?

The only X1 game I think will be terrible is Fable Legends and I'll admit a lot of that is result of my dissapointment with the general direction of that franchise since the 2nd and 3rd one.

I think QB is going to be a high 80 Meta game, it's going to be great. I'll be buying Forza 6, which will no doubt also be a mid 80s-low 90s meta. Halo 5 will be a solid game (even if I personally don't like the direction the MP is going), TR is also going to be a solid, mid 80s meta title and you can bet I'm looking forward to a Gears Collection.

It seems to me that you're seeing what you want to see here.

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.

But, they did end up keeping the $350 price tag. My point was, that sales would collapse and so MS would end up keeping the price lower price tag. They did just that. Perhaps I worded it poorly, but I don't believe I was wrong. I do agree with you, that it didn't "collapse" so in that sense I was indeed wrong (at least I don't think it did?)

They announced that 18.5 million PS4's were sold as of January 4, 2015. They are just reusing old PR.
 
The #1 spot couldn't have gone to a fresher, more exciting game. Congrats Techland!

Also congrats to Sony for being back where you're supposed to be. ;)

Was a repeat of PR from Jan 5th I believe.

I'm guessing PR didn't have any updated WW sales figures.

Come on man, I don't go around just making stuff up about people. I get upset when people do that to me, there was a specific post from a previous thread where you predicted none of the X1 games were going to be anything special and not even come close to be in running for any GOTY awards.

If I remember correctly the 18m announcement was shipped. This is sold 18.5.
 
But which one the 12% or 8% is the Wii U since 3DS seems to have collapsed.

C means consoles, right? No handhelds? So I'm assuming this means 8% is 360, the one a bit behind is PS3, and the 1% or whatever is Wii.

I calculate roughly 193k for PS4 and 153k for X1 based on these assumptions

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.

As another post said Titanfall received a Abnormal amount of hype and marketing. Hype I've never seen in many year of gaming for a new ip. QB won't come close to those levels imo. I'm done with this though it's just my opinion.

PS4 192k
XB1 153k

Using 64k for Wii U and assuming the chart is for all consoles with PS4 and XB1 selling the most.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

Well that is a safe prediction then. Sales in January will collapse compared to December. Great work.

You're the one who brought it up trying to call her/him out on it. If it was so obvious why do you have a problem with it? Secondly yes they did revert back to the $350 price after they raised it and sales dropped significantly.
