Microsoft pre-emptive PR spin+Bish quote, more then likely means PS4 curb stomped the XB1 more then usual.

Sony are so on fire they can release a broken game and people will still buy it. The hunger is real.

That's what I'd guess. The price cut announcement couldn't have helped either. I hope we get some actual numbers to figure out how bad the beating is.

Well, that or the surprising MS win which would make some people go nuts.

that isn't surprising though but i don't see the opposite happening either

maybe the wii u outsold the xbone or something lol

Didn't they announce the price cut in the last week of october?
Makes me think sales could have tanked waiting for the price cut.

Let's hope SO didn't bomb.

 

[p3tran]

From whom? p3tran has been walked down this road before regarding the difference in indie developer support between platforms, and yet here we are again. Providing an easy-to-access reminder at the touch of a fingertip seems like a nice thing to do, imo.

Back on topic: this afternoon will be highly entertaining. I promise you.

I've walked down and up many roads
with this particular road though, the complaint just doesnt make sense to me business wise. at least with the facts I am presented with.
I still expect an answer from chubi to conclude
and Bish if you are going to tag me, then please tag my #2122 post instead and not the known sony address, after I edit it and write my conclusion.
my new tag has to be interesting like the old one, not a corporate address or something

it wasn't broken. they just had some record breaking number of people trying to access the #1 highly anticipated racing game of 2014.

 

[Kill3r7]

Just grabbed my bunker keys. Either Sony dominated October, or Microsoft won October and the Yusef PR was just a preemptive strike for the real MS PR coming later today.

It's virtually impossible for MS to have won October. So let's not even bother discussing the possibility. October will be the most boring month since May. The only things worth paying attention to are game sales DC vs FH2 and SO vs Bayonetta 2. The rest is pretty much set in stone (assuming we get any numbers at all).

10 million shipped?

Did you not read the quote?

Are we making a distinction "sold in to retailers" vs shipped? Nobody reports production shipments anymore, so I'm assuming shipped = shipped to retail whenever I see it.

How about MCC?

That Bish quote. Popcorn and beer prepared. It'll be late evening here but I doubt there will be entertainment aplenty before bedtime.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Wouldn't be surprising if Sony trounce MS today. MS literally cut their own balls off by announcing that $50 off bundle when they did.

Who in their right mind would buy an X1 in October when they can just wait a couple of weeks and get it $50 off with a free game?

 

[iceatcs]

Possible Wii U beat Xbox one?

Will see in very soon, hopefully.

He's referring to the fact its not 10 million most likely.

They actually said "soon" we'll hit 10 million shipped so at time of quote they must have shipped less than 1 million.

 

[Facism]

I bought an Xbox Assassins Creed Bundle and I feel a little dirty for it, but in my defense I got it for $255 and traded that shit game for Sunset Overdrive, so it is a justified purchase imo.

outstanding. You did well, friend.

Someone mentioned that bundles don't count when it comes to NPD, so we won't get a good idea of how well (or poorly) it's done.

 

[BeforeU]

How about MCC?

Please dont even compare. Except for some minor single player bugs and matchmaking. Everything in MCC works, and it already has so much content to play beside MM. You can even play custom matches if you want. And the fact that 343 is updating the community and deploying server side fixes twice a day makes MCC leagues ahead of Driveclub problem.

Bomb? Maybe not, but I bet it underperformed compared to the expectations around here on GAF.

literally? Sounds painful.

In no world did Titanfall underperfom. It sold a million copies to a very small user base, back when the Xbox One was still stuck with the Kinect and still trying to clean itself off the stink left by Mattrick. That game carried the system when it was at its worst.

I'm pretty sure even to date the only game on PS4 that launched better than it was Destiny. Not any of Sony's exclusives, not even Watch Dogs.

All of Sonys first party games (not sure about dc) have sold more than 1 mil. Some 2+ mill

I'm at Disney World but am sitting in my hotel room, eagerly awaiting these NPD numbers. Color me surprised (somewhat) if PS4 takes October.

If PS4 takes November, it's game over.

Oh diggity! What time (EST) do NPD numbers get released?

Also, what's the over/under on meltdowns?

Customs are broken in MCC.

Source: 3 customs played yesterday in the span of 3 hours yesterday and 20 MCC restarts.

Your username definitely seems to fit your outlook though lol (no insult intended).

Corporation gonna corporate. Don't know why people take offense at it. It's business.

Plus, this month will probably be pretty boring. Both because of the market and because the primary source of data isn't going to provide anymore.

Seriously, just go ride some of those rides. I like Jungle Cruise.

Are we making a distinction "sold in to retailers" vs shipped? Nobody reports production shipments anymore, so I'm assuming shipped = shipped to retail whenever I see it.

No, I'm pointing out the difference between actually hitting 10 million shipped and handwaving in the general vicinity of "not quite there but we will be soon and hey! is tomorrow NPD day?"

Give this man a ban for 24 hours, for his own sake.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I support this motion. If I could, the last thing I'd be doing is wait on NPD.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

"Breaking: man goes on spree while in Disney World. Keeps screaming 'NPD DAY IS HERE'"

I support this motion. If I could, the last thing I'd be doing is waiting on NPD.

Would you rather be working?

The fact that you have the MS PR person talking about NPD day with excitement (as seen with the exclamation point) leads me to believe Xbone won October.

Give a non-committal answer or no answer at all if I'm right.

One of the strategies to doing Disney World/Land is to actually take a break from 2-6, so you rest up, avoid the afternoon heat + crowd and then go back out for shorter line rides.

Ha, that's great!

To tell you the truth, there are times I would do the same thing so I know where you're coming from. Have fun on the rest of your vacation though.
