Anyone who owns 5 home consoles to offer an unbiased opinion?
omg. the original version of this is my favorite gif ever. amazing
Stop Girl has never been so cute.
You don't get how a AAA big budget game, in both production and marketing with a costly live action segment with Hollywood actors coming in 7th in the charts is bad?

I think the PR team took the night off to celebrate at Insomniacs.
Yea we'll no doubt get TLOU2, but I can even see ND moving on to something a bit different in the future.
exactly, its a new ip with no MP on a single console, I dont see how 7 is bad

Wasn't there a trade-in promotion for the Xbone during April?

But 4 of them are collecting dust I tell ya
So glad R&C did so well! Hope this means 3D platformers will make a comeback! It's time to see some variety and competition on this category and not just Mario games.
Quoting because this is as awesome as the "Square just shoot themselves on the foot" post.

Couldn't be done without record breaking Global Engagement.
Dark Souls 3 coming in big at #1, saw it coming, but damn. Talk about a franchise that has become a video gaming phenomenon.
I wouldn't mind them, that poster is a study in contradictions.

That's some fantastic goal post adjusting! 4 different excuses! Its SKU placed behind 3 PS4 titles, including 2 PS exclusives, 2 full price, and on an install base only like 10% larger.

It made the top 60 this month.

Maybe Sony are silent because they are going to make a statement on Uncharted 4 sales and combine the NPD info into that, would maybe explain the reason for no NPD statement, I guess we shall find out in the next few days.

And a $50 price cut that lasted the whole month. Even if the 2 consoles are neck and neck, the Xbox One did terrible.

If MS is down YOY with a price cut and trade in deal there there's no hope for MS being able to outsell the PS4 without going well under in price.

U4 did not charted so it must be a flop!

Sony will probably keep making Uncharted games tho, actually contracting Remedy for the next one wouldn't be that crazy tbh.

1. What's the 4th home console?
2. You complain R&C sold well but doesn't even have an open world. Quantum Break doesn't either.... So....
3. The game came out before the movie, so the movie wouldn't impact sales
4. Maybe you should dust off the PS4 to play Uncharted 4. It's out, you no longer have to hope it's something good.
5. Quantum Break was outsold by a furbait, zootopia game IYO, so how does copying a lower selling game increase your sales when you have a higher selling game? Speaking of which
6. Why do you even care what Sony sells? Unless....

Its driving me nuts the amount of revisionist history is going on with QB right now. It was part of the greatest lineup in Xbox history, been around since the Xbox reveal, touted at almost every game show,has a bundle a TV show and had a pretty big marketing campaign...come on people

Yeah, don't shit them out.
They were pumping them out 1 a year for fuck sakes. Make people excited for Ratchet 2. Don't get on stage at e3 2017 and be like "Here's Ratchet again! He has a new gun and here's a new planet. Thats all. Available this fall"
I really don't want Ratchet to fall into the same pitfall that soured me on the franchise to begin with. Where every iteration just felt like the same thing again.
Yeah, new guns and new planets. new guns and new planets. new guns and new planets. new guns and new planets..........................................
I'd love the gameplay to evolve somehow. Maybe make it open world?
NPD threads are some of the best threads...
A post still sticks in my mind where someone said The Show wasnt gonna do good some month it launched. That and GTA 5 for current gen.
The Show is a niche game they said. And GTA 5 ...ppl were already going to be tired of playing it, done playing it to get it for current gen.
I will get back to you in a few months....I'm also waiting on the Neo so I can be even more unbiased.
LMAO at "global engagement" being the PR response for an NPD release. You can't make that shit up. Well apparently you can but... you know what I mean.

MS pretty much has to be down YoY, probably by a decent chunk. It actually won last April and from the looks of things Sony can't have done any better than flat.

Waiting for that Dark Souls III split. Anyone got the split for Dark Souls II ? ^_^

Quantum Break bombed as expected. I eagerly await Microsoft next AAA bomb.
The only question is, "will ReCore make it in time to be the next?"

If only Ethomaz was here. I'm sure he would have spun this into a positive.
I wonder how broken the PC version of ReCore will be on release. If theres one thing MS has been doing right with the win 10 store is providing entertainment.

Thank you for your insight, it was very helpful.
Dark Souls II daily sales average ~ 11,850.
Dark Souls III (19 days of tracking) - 225,150 * 2 = 450,300
The PR statement says that nearly doubled Dark Souls II, so it should be a bit less.
It's those Sony boys I tell you...
xpost of my quick photoshop from other thread
That PS4 chain lol.
Man, this read like a meme post.
Like dude, why would you need to mention you own all 4 consoles before questioning the success of R&C. lol
Then the whole the 2nd part is just what. Basically, PS4 got no good games with the exception one title, naughty dog better put out something good, then end with PS4 collecting dust. Omg, Dawg.
Then you mention sony should make more stuff like QB and maybe PS4 will sell better, like wtf. Its clear as day bruh, that on the NPD, that Sony gotta make more R&C like titles, man. lol.

Who is moving goal posts?
Without numbers, I didn't think Top 10 in NPD was bad as a single SKU?

I expected this gen to be extremely front loaded.
People were desperate for a new console and I think less super casuals will get a console even at a low price. No cd/dvd player to lure them and they are satisfied with their phone and tablet games.
