On Amazon US Fallout 4 is heavily skewed towards PS4 so there's that

Yeah, that was pretty surprising. The question is if that trend is the same for the larger retailers such as Gamestop and Walmart?

Unless MS goes big the fallout marketing most 3rd parties tend to shift towards PS. Either way I think it will sell well on both system in the US at least it won't be noticeable

I think Fallout 4 being a WRPG will also play a big role. We've seen with The Witcher III sales that the PS4 has a significantly larger WRPG fanbase than the XBO, even in the US and UK.

Forgot to do my predictions this month dammit, what were the Amazon predictions anyway?

So, Madden ( like last year ) didn't help to Xbone and also that TV deal. Shit.

I already said I don't understand why Madden should be a big factor, guess I was right.

I was wrong about Gears influencing this month though, seems like the dude that said that Until Dawn has a bigger potential to actually move consoles (even if selling less overall) was right.

 

[Grimgrillz]

How in the world does PS4 take august.

I'm completely confused by this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Javin98]

Zhuge already said that.

Wait, so the gap between the PS4 and XB1 is really 7-10K? CBOAT is redeemed, though his prediction was months too early.

One Piece Pirate Warriors does it again

 

[VinFTW]

Wait, people bet against PS4?

Why would you do that? lol

I'm no analyst, but it seems like a foolish thing to do... ever... for any reason lol

 

[slavesnyder]

Isn't fallout more of a PC thing. I just can't believe it's such an important title in the console race.

I know Sony advertise these but they are still not exclusives like Halo and TR, XB1 in general is a very good platform (sales wise) for FPS games, it's not like potential XB1 buyers will ignore these games, Destiny is selling very well on that platform for example, and TW3 which was advertised on XB1 is selling much better on PS4, it's not like advertisements are money in the bag for the platform holder.

Besides let's not forget FO4 is with XB1, might be the second biggest selling title of the year after COD.

I think Battlefront will sell more than Fallout.

 

[Conduit]

How you know it didn't help?
...yes, PS4 is still first, but let's see the numbers before say it didn't help...

Didn't help to beat PS4 maybe?? To boost sales yes, to beat NO!

 

[ZhugeEX]

Analysts are idiots.

 

[Cornbread78]

I think Battlefront will sell more than Fallout.

Good option to have.

 

[Boke1879]

I think Battlefront will sell more than Fallout.

I'll say I think Star Wars has the potential to sell more PS4 consoles in a bundle.

 

[allan-bh]

I think Battlefront will sell more than Fallout.

No doubt.

Fallout sells more on console if i not mistaken .
PS4 winning but we need numbers.

This is going to become a thing isn't it?

-_-

 

[mejin]

Microsoft had a fair shot. Sony had a helmet.

 

[eerik9000]

Xbox One getting a DVR functionality is going to change the world! Recording live free-to-air television is the future!!!!

 

[Jigorath]

I think Battlefront will sell more than Fallout.

Oh yeah, easily.

Star Wars fever is going to be insane this holiday.

 

[Javin98]

I'm still confused by the lack of PR. If PS4 won, where's Sony's PR? Or even Microsoft's?

I doubt FO4 surpasses Battlefront. Also while Destiny is selling very well on the XB1 software wise it still got crushed for the month Hardware wise.

If there only was a fallout movie.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Of course PS4 won August....

Sony PR: PlayStation 4 remains the cumulative leader in the US
Microsoft PR: Gamers spent 20 million hours on Xbox Live this month and over 1 billion bullets were shot in Halo MCC
