Back to regularly scheduled programming

Yeah and i bet that will be till Halo 5 launches.

 

[ninjabat]

I guessed ps4 would win.

Now sales just need to be 500k to match my numbers

 

[DjRalford]

Microsoft PR, where are you?

Making some last minute changes to their victory speech, adding up the amount of people who threw grenades this month on XBOX one.

who knows.

 

[TheBioLover]

The timing of that announcement about Scalebound etc. sure looks funny now huh.

 

[slavesnyder]

But how can two Amazon slots be beat by one? It makes no sense!

If the first is high enough, the amount of slots for the second does not matter.
Or have you been joking?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Amazing how fast the old gen consoles are leaving the market.

Yea, it was in jest. I just happened to remember that conversation.

 

[EmptySpace]

25 > 32 + 47

i don't get it.

 

[allan-bh]

Amazing how fast the old gen consoles are leaving the market.

Prices are insane, should be at least $129 at this point.

 

[Leko04]

i don't get it.

future math.

Meh. Preseason.

MS pr: We thank you fans also not caring about preseason.

 

[Kinsella]

But how can two Amazon slots be beat by one? It makes no sense!

Both consoles had at least 2 entries in the top 100 all month.

[ZhugeEX]

i don't get it.

You need a degree in math.

Amazing how fast the old gen consoles are leaving the market.

I saw this coming a mile off. But I do agree that it's amazing how fast the decline has been, I would expected it to be somewhat more gradual.

 

[Rymuth]

i don't get it.

Amazon rankings

 

[Stone Ocean]

Amazing how fast the old gen consoles are leaving the market.

We're almost two years in on gen 8 after a really long gen 7, if anything it hasn't been fast enough

 

[Elandyll]

i don't get it.

There was someone (a junior maybe) who was arguing earlier that with Amazon the XB1 was obviously going to be > to PS4, because 32+47 > 25.

Or something

 

[CosmicQueso]

Time for the squids to celebrate. The top 10 is going to cause a ruckus.

 

[allan-bh]

Amazon rankings

People take Amazon rankings too serious.

 

[slavesnyder]

Yea, it was in jest. I just happened to remember that conversation.

Me too. My bad.
Anyway, It's good to see people being ironic without lols and smileys...

 

[Cornbread78]

Damn, I'm kinda surprised

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Time for the squids to celebrate. The top 10 is going to cause a ruckus.

LOL. Awesome.

 

[Boke1879]

Yeah and i bet that will be till Halo 5 launches.

Very possible. After that though. I don't know who sells more this holiday.

PlayStation 4 outsells Xbox One in May, according to NPD data

The PlayStation 4 was back on top last month.

After the Xbox One surprised everyone by outselling the PS4 in April, Sony has come charging back to own hardware sales in May, according to data from research firm The NPD Group. The company has confirmed to GamesBeat that its PS4 system outsold the competition in the United States, which is where NPD tracks sales.

“As we head into E3, we would like to thank gamers for making PS4 the top-selling console and the leader in software sales in the U.S. in May,” a Sony spokesperson said in a statement provided to GamesBeat. “We are truly humbled by this success and we look forward to sharing what’s next for PS4 at our E3 press conference on June 15.”

Well both are still extremely expensive considering their age. Kinda weird how neither MS or Sony haven't done any price drops for last gen consoles since launch of this gen. Especially MS as X360 has been cheaper and easier to manufacture since day one.

Everyone is expecting it to chart.


I feel a ruckus woukd only be caused if it was like number 1

[Blablurn]

Interesting that Sony won this month again.

 

[ninjabat]

[John Bender]

25 > 32 + 47

Ah shit!

Not gonna lie, I know you're gonna hate me for this, but I really wanted Splatoon to bomb. I'm in that wall of of shame (people downplaying Splatoon) and I really wanted to have a big laugh when Splatoon bombs in US.

 

[Richie]

I'm usually in NPD threads to enjoy others' reactions but I'd lose my shit if it actually reached number 1, with three damn days charting no less.

 

[ZhugeEX]

We're almost two years in on gen 8 after a really long gen 7, if anything it hasn't been fast enough

Did you forget about PS1 and PS2.

Combined they sold almost 19 million units in the USA, AFTER their successors came out.

The PS3 will be lucky to have even sold 2 million (as of today) after the PS4 came out.

inb4 Splatoon>Witcher XB1 Kappa

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

[Carl]

Shocking

 

[allan-bh]

No way sold more than Witcher 3, even in individual SKU ranking.

Welp, that is one silly number lol

Now THAT would shock me.

 

[Stanng243]

Not gonna lie, I know you're gonna hate me for this, but I really wanted Splatoon to bomb. I'm in that wall of of shame (people downplaying Splatoon) and I really wanted to have a big laugh when Splatoon bombs in US.

So does that mean you'll never doubt Sony and Nintendo's ips now? Or are you just going to eat another hat?

How can he eat another when he never ate the first one.

Chobel please!

Think of the tag.

 

[farisr]

Very possible. After that though. I don't know who sells more this holiday.

Unless Sony pulls a 2013, and at E3 they announced GT7 for PS4 releasing this holiday, I see the Xbox One selling more throughout.due to the stronger exclusive lineup. Though it may be close if Sony does a pricecut.

Edit: nvm, got reminded of Battlefront, and the inevitable ps4 bundle with it. Not as clear cut as I thought it would be.

 

[Leko04]

So does that mean you'll never doubt Sony and Nintendo's ips now? Or are you just going to eat another hat?

Let's wait for numbers. I say that it bombed if it didn't sell over ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

Do you prepare these fun facts in advance like a sports commentator?
Simply amazing.

here we go again.

Price cut would be huge imo but if they have a solid bundle strategy as well. They could mitigate. I honestly think this holiday will be pretty close.

 

[Chobel]

I know, I know. But I really hated to be wrong again especially when I'm in that wall of shame twice.

 

[DjRalford]

With TLG coming out this fall thats unlikely.

Believe!
