I was pissed since PS4 lost, but the XB1 margin of victory is so low that it doesn't even matter now lol

I now can't see a $100 price cut happening this year, unless MS pulls off an even bigger win in May NPD.

Dude are you serious ? Why are you pissed about PS4 losing or winning. How does that even matter?

Poor WiiU.

But with no software release, even what it sold is surprising.

3DS is chugging along to its eventual retirement.

How's that different than last year though?

2014:
DKC in Feb
Mario Kart 8 upcoming end of May

2015:
Smash & Mario Kart 8 already out and still selling
Kirby in Feb, Mario Party 10 in March, upcoming Splatoon end of May

down YoY despite technically having a better lineup this year...

FWIW, it doesn't help we have 0 release dates for Wii U after Splatoon for NA, although I presume we'll get them at E3.

Would even lower sales actually convince Nintendo to cut the price of the Wii U? I feel like it's still ridiculous priced out of range of the folks who may want to get it still. I'm not saying it'd be a huge boost, but at least it might do something....

Bloodborne is doing well for the kind of game it is and relative to the other "Souls" games, guys. There's no need for doom and gloom. It placed in the individual SKU chart and was the #2 PSN "top seller" for April. We also know it sold more than one million copies in around 12 days.

And it's near the top of every single non-UK chart in EU.

It's okay to say its physical sales in the US have disappointing legs, but there's absolutely no reason for doom & gloom when the game is doing extremely well on the PAL charts, did people not learn from last gen & how software sales in the US don't mean much to Sony's first party?

Seeing the rough numbers, it's not terrible but I can see a $50 price drop coming soon. I do think this is something Sony can sacrifice since they said they have built the system to be flexible in these cases. I do think it's something they should at least consider. But I strongly don't think it should be because they feel "threatened" but due to the time period the console has been out for and for the better of their business.

I think there will be a drop just before MGSV. They've already announced pricing for the Batman Bundles so that's unlikely to change. Use MGSV to get big sales in September like Destiny last year.

So for the holidays Sony has confirmed marketing for

Battlefront
Assassins Creed
MGSV
Mad Max

and then they're rumored to also have Black Ops 3?

I mean isn't that all the major 3rd party series for the season?

They'll probably also have a price drop of at least $50 by then.

Then if they reveal a big exclusive at E3 for the fall?

I think people might be underestimating them for the fall because of the "no games" talk.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
What?! Only a 13K gap? Flunking lolz!!!! So basically if you really think about, PS4 really won this month.

I thought bone only had a potential chance in holiday season when they where to go into desperation mode with the price again.

What made ppl go out and buy bone?
