Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Immortals of Aveum is #26 top selling game in August, per Grubb.
That's really bad for a brand new EA game. No wonder they laid off half the staff, the game has bombed incredibly hard.

Yea but that's more a testament to 360 success than PS3 failure.
I mean it beat the Wii and still holds 2nd best US sales to date (well ahead of PS4 too). Sure Switch is about to change that - but

Last years Monthly results for reference: PS5 was 341k and XBS 251k for August 2022, Switch monthly numbers for 2022 were not leaked. Next month the PS5 will do well to match September 2022 because it was almost 500k which is absolutely huge.

few games are anywhere near totk, and a new Mario is coming out, don't forget how big those actually are
Mario w0onder has been pre-ordered more than spiderman on amazon in the US in the past 30 days (and both have been up for pre-order since June) so nintendo has 1 more major shot with that along with several more strong releases, mario rpg, luigi's mansion 2hd, and that peach game (looked neat but can't remember the name) should all be multi-million sellers as well should hold it up till march when nintendo will most likely announce the switch successor, if we're lucky they won't go for a crowded november release (nintendo's release history is fairly unpredictable,3ds and switch both released after the holiday rush (the ds probably would have as well if sony didn't make them flinch with the psp) maybe we'll see a summer release

It is that simple, though. Series X is a great console with great drop-in games like Halo and Bethesda back-compact titles. But it doesn't have blockbusters.
Delays notwithstanding, PS5 has had Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, GT7, Horizon FW, God of War Ragnarok, Ratchet & Clank, The Last of Us Part I, and FFXVI. Not everyone is into all of these, but Sony seems to have a blockbuster exclusive for everyone. For your Madden/COD people, even the exclusives they don't buy make PS5 the "it" console.
It was game over more than a year ago.

Always sad to see those Dreamcast numbers... :-(
- PS2 sold 50K in it's 13th year for a total of 46.34 million
- X360 sold 20K in it's 13th year for a total of 43.22 million

It was basically a shadow drop. No hype, basically no commercial, I didn't expect anything else tbh.
I didnt really pay attention to that chart until this post....and started looking at PS4 and PS5 numbers in comparison to XBO. Sheiiit.
I thought at one point the Xbox Series was outselling the XBO.

Love to see both AC6 (my current GOTY frontrunner) and Remnant 2 (my current number 3 of 2023) high up there. If you love gaming then buy games, end of story. Oh and just wait for those PlayStation numbers in October

PS5 price cut has had the desired effect, makes it more likely Sony cna hit their fiscal target (and September/October should also be huge for them). Also greta to see smaller franchsies like Armoured Core, Pikmin and Remnant doing rrally really well.
The way I would make sense of it is:
The way I would make sense of it is:
- Switch can decline by double digits for the whole year and still be noticeably above what PS4 did in 2019.
- The various bundles + Mario Wonder should give Switch a solid final holiday
- From the latest Eurogamer report, Nintendo would like to launch Switch 2 earlier if everything is ready
Xbox One in its first three years was not a huge fuck up in the US. It sold pretty well.

The target is fiscal year, so those Jan-March 2023 growth figures are the ones Sony has to compete against this year.

It just doesn't look good.

Xbox One started out with decent exclusives. Series just had its first decent one. Despite shortages, people who couldn't get one could see what was going on.
Worldwide it was IIRC - but even that's fallen behind now.

Yup Xbox one early on was great I didn't have any buyers remorse but my Series X purchase felt like a waste of money I could've kept my one x for the better part of this generation but got caught up in the power hype

But for how long? Without a major release I can see sales completely plummeting off a cliff in every region by March/April.
Gamecube and 3DS ports are not going to carry this declining aged system for a full year. What the absolute fuck is Nintendo thinking (if Switch 2 launches next holiday)??

I guess Madden will never see improvements, since the general football crowd keeps buying this absolute crap. Wasn't there a thread this this was make or break for Madden, I am guessing that's by $ and not customer rating scores. So i guess it's a 'make' and we can expect this trash to conitnue. Depressing.

If both PS5 and XBS are flat with Sep to Dec 2022 then full year sales for 2023 will be around 7.04 million for PS5 and 3.89 million for XBS. I expect PS5 and XBS to be a bit higher though. PS5 can make big gains in December and XBS can't really do any worse than 2022's November and December.
