Totally forgot about South Park. Poor Obsidian. Deserves much better.

Here we go with the games again.
Can we please stop calling it a price drop? It's a kinect less sku. Big difference! And apparently you need the kinect at this point cause you know the UI was designed around it.

We know exactly why they don't talk about Titanfall sales.

Could we see under 100k? That shit would be insane.
Can negative be an estimate?
There's like double the amount of 360s than PS3s in the US. Not everyone upgrades right away. But those that do are upgrading to a PS4.

Sony already has more games than MS, and one look at Metacritic indicates they have more higher rated games as well. So what exactly is your point?

Like others have repeatedly told you, it's been their policy for years, whether they had a bad month or a good month. Furthermore, they didn't give numbers to Grubb.
Only reason it didn't chart is because it's only available for a relatively new system. All the other charted games are either available on multiple systems with large install bases, or in Minecraft's case, a last gen system with a large install base.

If he's Medhi, what does that make Joe_Incognito?
Eh, the marketing teams get actual numbers.
And breaking them out to individual SKUs just means you'd be seeing even more CoD Ghosts.

Guess they need time to repackage those kinectless xbones for store shelves
It's been going for quite a while.
The trick is that when kids grow up, new kids come in to replace them.

As far as MS and the One are concerned, Titanfall did nothing to help the console.
Respawn and EA should be really happy, but for MS it was a failure. It was their biggest game in the year, heavily marketed, bundles all around and it still disn't make the One pass the PS4 for a single month.

Microsoft has done so much right since launch, but damn the long-term damage of the initial announcement(s) is killing them right now. I really believe they have a much better software library atm, which is a shame for them. Phil Spencer surely has his work cut out for him. I'm still on the fence, myself.
Well it is only on one platform.
As long as there are spoiled kids and rich parents, there will be LEGO games.
He/she was joking.
It is? We don't know how many people buy Xbox One since november thinking about Titanfall.

It's definitely clear that April NPD's were the nail in the coffin for "sticking it out with kinect only offering" for Xbox One. I still think MS should have come in with a Kinectless sku at $379.00 not $399.00. Its a small difference but on the shelf it would have been just that hair more attractive. Sell Kinect on its own at $139.99 and you have that price structure that makes the all in one $499 feel like a better buy if that is what a consumer wants.
Either way... April numbers were the clear pathway to a $399 sku. That price point should have always been there. MS themselves stated back when the 360 launched that $399 was a magic bullet price point.
Oh well.... the table is set...bring on E3.

I think there is a very high probability of that.

Sounds like a good tagline for Back To The Future IV : Sony's Adventures In Time

That's what makes it not interesting. One can predict right now the Wii U is going to outsell the Xbone, as absolutely insane as that would have sounded just a week ago.
The only interesting thing to me is if the PS4 gets a bump from MLB and Watch Dogs.

I haven't seen a number, but it was rumoured at the beginning of this thread (I think?).

PS4 is demolishing the other next gen platforms, but is anybody else getting the sense that a whole lot of people are feeling like 'nah, I'm fine with my Xbox 360, thanks!'?

Vita is such a mammoth, colossal failure. They might as well just make it a Japan only device. For all the doom and gloom the Wii U gets, the Vita is right up there for the most irrelevant platform released in the West. I mean, I think the 32X and Game Gear had more market penetration. Then again, Sony likes to hang onto dying divisions so I guess they'll keep supporting Vita.
In may? Definitely. They already announced a Price Drop for the beginning of June.
Holy fucking shit. That is absolute death. Discontinued products can sell that much a month. Sony absolutely failed the Vita from the moment they released it. At least at the suffering is over. Only games now...
That position is already filled. My post was a misappropriation of two quotes by Mehdi Yusuf.
Yes. People aren't jumping in. They are standing by and waiting. Playing last gen stuff.
woah who spilled this? I wanna see the quote.
edit: oh rumored at the start of the thread.
Pretty incredible number.

Damn x1 sales plummeted
You bolded the wrong one.

I wonder if 3DS/handhelds are included in that second best hardware count.
Me too, and how high these numbers actually are.

It seems they don't pay attention to history.
Palm (The PDA company, remember?) famously fell from grace after announcing the m500 announcement. Like many months before it came out. And that meant NO ONE bought the existing Palm V until it was released.
Guess what? They lost so much money and marketshare that they never recovered.
