I imagine hardware sales will be a bit slow as nobody wants to buy a console when new hardware is right around the corner.
lol
I wonder how much unsold stock of SFV is sitting around.
That shit is dead and buried.
lmao..... Savage

Yep, I vividly remember suggesting R&C would do better than QB as a wild prediction sort of thing and others saying it wasn't going to happen (I also didn't truly believe it). It started to flip after R&C reviews came out and the fastest selling IP news came. The drab UK performance for QB was part of it as well.
Iceman and two actors from The Wire. Hollywood royalty!

Well yeah, I was specifically speaking in the console space, where their solution is just watching a second screen, not true virtual reality...
Sorry, maybe I'm late, but.... any source/post?

April 2015 was Mortal Kombat X's month, which ended up being on the global 2015 NPD top 10. MK is over the top in the US.
The drop is one thing, but between Dark Souls III, R&C and MLB or even the fact Star Fox is charting, there are plenty to be happy with software this month
Anything is possible so let's see. I just feel like it would be a huge risk and budget would go through the roof plus it would take a minimum of 5 to 6 years for them to make that kind of game with the amount of detail and quality they strive for and ideally Sony would want them to stick to a 3 year cycle considering it is their best studio at the moment in terms of critical and commercial reception.
It's in the OP now.

Sony being silent was probably just not to rub salt in Microsofts wounds.
Nice Ratchet and Clank is doing so well.

I wonder why no one wanted to comment on hardware.
Almost certain Microsoft will do the smart thing and bring it to PC eventually.
What?

Oh yea MKX was massive.
Hopefully next month with U4 we'll see some amazing numbers.
Feel bad for Remedy, it sucks that after all the hard work QB ended up like this.
I think he means it was in the top 10 best selling games of the year.

How do you all think Homefront: The Revolution will perform?

Could someone hug Tim Dog for me? He isn't doing very well it seems, and it's a day that ends in Y cause he is mad at NeoGAF...

Seems like sales are down across the board. Could have gone for the classic "no 1 selling console this month" line though.

DS3 at the top makes me smile. Good chart position for Ratchet. QB bombed to the surprise of no one. Still harsh that it sold less than MLB in its second month though lol

Well yeah, pretty sure MKX was #10 on the NPD top 10 for the entire year.
To be fair, it was the only Wii U games released in April.

Nintendo:WiiU is close to finished, sales are crap. No one likes talking about their failures.
Microsoft:Xbone is seriously under performing compared to PS4, they may be in 2nd place which isn't bad but when the one in first place is as far ahead of you as Sony is, it hurts the pride.
Sony:Either out of respect for MS to not rub anymore salt in their wounds of despite good sales, they expected more and feel disappointed.

Nowhere near Madden I can guarantee you that.
I go to bed guys, should be the last time.
later gator.
Is it bad that I read this in Don Mattrick's voice? Congrats to From and Insomniac!
Wonder how everyone suddenly turn into Nostradamus about QB, not being surprised it flopped.
What was so obvious about it? game looked very good and promising before release, the concept is cool, famous TV stars, it's not like Homefront 2 that you know for sure that will fail hard.
Wonder why no one talked before the game released about how it's going to flop.

85% of QB sales were digital.
