Actually, you're right. It's almost impossible for it to be PS3<Wii U. So presumably it is PS3>Wii U>360.
Strange times. Also thanks for ruining my NPD predictions Xbox family.

ps3 beast mode ?!
Just curious, if it was your job to comment on an ass whooping what would you do? People act like they expect MS to say, "Ahhhh, ya bish. You got us this time!!!". PR gonna PR.
Yup! What a reaction! Is that guy still doing t.v shows? Dude was like one of my favorite characters on the show.
PS2 sold 299,000 Jan 2007 I think. Just let that sink in.

Tomb Raider only had like 5 days of tracking.
So about 56-57K for PS4 and 28K for Xbox One?

Jesus! The XB1 tanked! I did not expect that.
PS4 did respectable numbers and pretty average console sales in Jan. Nothing crazy there but it was still struggling with supply issues.
The next few months will be fun to look at cause I havent a clue what way this is going to go.

Jesus fucking christ those numbers are horrible. How many days of sales it got?

I believe it. Everyone who really wanted to play it played it last year, and it's not really the kind of game worth rebuying for prettier graphics. Not like GTAV would be, as an example.

So when gamers try to tell us that the Xbox One floundering on shelves is not good for the market, what are we to do? Are we supposed to perform some civic duty and buy both the superior and inferior consoles, and then proceed to buy both the definitive and inferior versions of each software title as well? Would you like me to mortgage a house so I can support every micro and macro transaction Microsoft wants to put in the next Forza, Ryse, and Killer Instinct? Should I go ahead and pay one subscription fee on top of another just so ESO doesnt bomb because that would be bad for MMOs or bad for Bethesda or bad for something or another? GTFO of here with that logic.
Competition isnt about keeping the underachievers afloat, its about rewarding those whom you can objectively assess are actually competing the best for your dollar. Thats it. Last I checked, thats how economies work. Thats how video games have always worked. Thats why ET cartridges were dumped in a landfill or something somewhere. Thats why Steam sales have to happen sometimes. Thats why stores have bargain bins, why GameStop has used games, and why PS4 is generally sold out everywhere.

Honestly I don't think the market for up ports like this is very big.
I mean Tomb Raider has been $5 on PC and very cheap on consoles.
They'll probably turn a small profit, but I don't expect to see a lot of up ports.
Yeah, if America really was going to be super crazy for Xbox the first one would've been a smash success. I think only a minority REALLY get worked up over "Murica", when you have much of the same software but cheaper and at higher performance then most sensible consumers will go with that unless something about the Xbox is legitimately more appealing.
I can't help but wonder if the lack of BC is a factor too though. Not that it'd have been practical to implement, but in that case you'd have that sort of ecosystem preservation thing going on: you get a new iPhone rather than a hot Android because you're invested in the ecosystem, or vice versa, but outside of XBL/PS+ subscriptions that doesn't exist this time...
... well, mostly. PS4 actually does have the advantage with the cross-platform-when-ported games, and I think the only case of that happening on XB1 that didn't involve a paid upgrade for a last gen title was for Loco Cycle, and that came out with the current gen and I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering right about that being a cross buy game. But at any rate neither are strong ENOUGH to convince people to stay that really want to move, so it was kind of a blank slate.
I actually expect we'll see more of them in the second half of the generation than the first part similar to last generation, just a few big games that can be easily done or are by publishers who seriously think it's a good idea. Once the generation's further in there'll be value in cashing in on people who missed it the first time and wouldn't mind a collection or a cheap digital re-release.

GTA bundle still doing its work or was that limited ?
just guessing
3ds: 130k
ps3: 60k
360: 50k
wii u: 55k
wii: 25k
vita: 25k
something like that. the sales of all the others have to be more than the ps4 for sony to boast that it's the ps4 and ps3 outperforming everything else combined (unless by console they meant console and not handheld).

I edit my post to add this part
Mobile is going to take away a certain part of the market but if those people were not buying certain games to begin with i don't care to tell the truth .
Companies will just have to diverse them self which they should be doing in the first place .
Now just for eg X1 and PS4 sell as much as 360\ PS3 and all 100 million Wii user gone does that matter to company like Rockstar they never really care about the Wii in the first place.
Companies can bring out both mobile and consoles games and any company that does not do both or just put all there eggs in on basket asking to fail .

I think it launched early on the 24th.
The Xbox brand is looking pretty bad right now and I'm curious to see how this shapes up. If Microsoft keeps their attention off of the 360 and the Xbox One requires MS to make big moves, the division could be in a bit of trouble. Of course its January, but the I still don't like this drop.
What were the Xbox's and Gamecube's numbers in Jan 2007? Nonexistent. If we add the PS3 and 360 to that it looks a lot less worse (right?). Not to mention how slow 360's were selling at the time.

Go into any Wii U thread. It's full of people saying that you should buy things on the Wii U to support more games for it and to keep it alive. Go on Twitter and you'll see people begging for high sales for Bayonetta 2, as if everyone is obligated to buy it.

That's not bad considering it released on the 28th of January. It also has 2,212 reviews on the US PSN.
it was only out for 6 years vs this last gen's 8 years, let that sink in.

Not good, but not horrible I would say.
It's not like this will have long legs, being a "definitive edition" and with no big game launches before. It should be very frontloaded, I think.

These numbers aren't too stellar...
$60 price tag and only on sale for 5 days. Those numbers are fine.

What about Ouya?
$30 or $40 up ports make a lot more sense. At $60 it's only really worth buying if you didn't play it already. You would have to be a massive, massive fan of TReboot to want to buy it again at full price.

Jan 2007
Wii - 436,000
360 - 294,000
PS3 - 244,000
PS2 - 299,000
NDS - 239,000
PSP - 211,000
GBA - 179,000
GC - 34,000
Dunno about OXBOX.
More and more it's going to depend on some of the bigger people like Bill Gates WANTING to stay in that race. The whole idea with making massive losses on OG Xbox and even 360 was to wedge themselves in the market then start doing really well and profiting, but if that hold slips just a few years after establishing it you have to question how much of that effort is REALLY worth it.

Your numbers are mathematically impossible in terms of the PS3+PS4 outselling everything else. Your everything else sums to 430K. Your PS3+PS4 sums would sum to about 340K.

The discrepancy between PS3 & 360 this month doesn't make much sense considering both consoles are so redundant at this point. Maybe it's the late surge of first party support from Sony in the past year? The PR with Sony from PS4 rubbing off?
Like 3 I think, not bad considering.
