If I have an XB360 or PS3 Madden is not going to get me to pay $400 for a new system. Its just not that big of a leap in graphics and definitely not in gameplay.
The white PS4 Destiny bundle is unique. There was thread on slickdeals where people were trading there black PS4 in during the June GameStop %50 trade in deal and putting it towards the Destiny bundle.

assuming Wii U is the 3rd largest segment (lol if somehow 360>Wii U) it's around 59.5k, averaging the PS4 and XB1 reference points
edit:
PS4=190k
XB1=160k
Wii U~59.5k
360~49k
PS3~27k
Wii~13.4k

Look at your posts you made. Look all over the screen. Think about it.
Well my double theory was already shot down so....
I meant relative to last year when ya the Wii U was pretty much DOA, if it can pull some good holiday sells like I listed, then yes I would certainly not describe it as a dead system....Is that outrageous or something? I think comparisons to the Dreamcast are silly as the bar to set for a dead system for many factors including sega's financial situation and the fire-sales at $49 which skew the numbers. Now Vita, that's a dead system if you want to set the bar somewhere.Relaxed Muscle

TOX2 did bad but that was expected , Zesteria might do even worst 2015 last gen game.
NB need to put it on current gen and next month going to be super interesting .

well i guess in relative terms. i also was off on the amount the system had grown yoy. it was actually 10%. from january to april, the wii u sold 249,000 units. the same time in 2013, it sold 226,000 units.
from may to july, the system sold 282,000 units, compared to the 105,000 it sold during that same period in 2013. with upcoming bundles and some anticipated software, the platform will keep above 2013's levels on a monthly basis until the end of the year. 2015 will be the system's decline, with maybe some initial spillover from december of this year into january and february, similar to mario kart 8's waning effects.

Destiny bundle is best selling console for moth of September (thus far) at #6. Standalone PS4 is second at #12. Xbox One is third at #32. The cannibalized standalone sales are still higher than Xbox one. That does imply both SKUs are doing quite well.

I bought it as well, Collector's Edition.
Here's hoping. This topic below linked to an interview where they initially hinted that they started early work on the first PS4 Tales (before it was changed), but either way we probably won't really hear anything until atleast Zestiria is out in Japan. Hopefully they have since other parts of Namco Bandai already are like the Idolmaster team and the DBZ one etc..

59.7k for Wii U then. Unless the Wii U chunk is at the top, and 360 beat it..

Less than 60k for Wii U.
That's all she will say.

And total > 1.1m

Using PS4 190K as base, XB1 160K as base, and an average.
There's also measurement error.
Should be close approximations.
Code:
PS4 190.0 188.5 189.3
WIU 59.7 59.3 59.5
XB1 161.2 160.0 160.6
PS3 27.2 27.0 27.1
WII 13.5 13.4 13.4
360 49.5 49.1 49.3Should be close approximations.
161.24k for XB1
59.7k for WiiU
27.2k for PS3
13.47k for Wii
49.47k for 360
Sorry for late post. Slow calculations
Edit: 190k as base because that is the only concrete number we have and I believe it is the most accurate. No one directly said XB1 did 160k.
Thanks for the figures, fitting to the context.
I feel like it would have contracted quicker if it wasn't for the wii .

Microsoft paid the NFL for their partnership, but they don't control the TV networks that broadcast the games. Ironically, PS4 has actually gotten better exposure than Xbone during NFL opening week. I've been seeing tons of Destiny commercials during NFL games, that all end with the white PS4 bundle.

PS4 ~ 190k
XB1 ~ 160.2k
WIU ~ 59.75k
360 ~ 49.5k
PS3 ~ 27.25k
Wii ~ 13.5k
Based off Shinra's angles

That's getting close to the 360 outselling the WiiU...

No. Last year Madden sold 1.05 million. It's up for this year.
yeah see that's what i was thinking (360 > wii u). however, 59k would mean wii u didn't double last year's sales - it would have fallen 2k short of them. it would also be good for my predictions, as i guessed 60k.
Maybe the quality effort is working.
Have it sitting somewhere, was one of those games that didn't get localised here in Europe and my backlog still contains PS1 games,..oh and I don't get the reference, mind explaining?
All those adverts, Mind share, hype etc.
Please! Everything coming out for PS3 now seems kinda DOA, 2015 seems well...what's more dead than dead?
....no that's stupid. Even more stupid than Sega but bundling two games could be good. Bayonetta....do it Nintendo.

Yeah, one would hope they'd realize that being so "late" is atleast partially accountable for it, but hopefully they follow Atlus and manage to cross-gen it since the US and Europe will have moved even further into next gen by the time Zestiria comes out.
It's the frist Madden with Current Gen right?
And madden did 1 million last year without current gen.
Uh oh.

I knew that $400 million dollar deal was a waste of money the first time I heard it at the reveal. Now I'm seeing it in action. It's truly a shame since the Surface is a fantastic device.

Madden has lost a lot of brand power over the years. I know many former Madden fanatics who almost exclusively play NBA 2K now due to disappointment of how EA handles the brand/games.
I remember Madden open with more than 2 million last gen. But is only 5 days, I figured that now.

I'm just trying to stay optimistic...
Using 190K for PS4 as reference I get:
PS4 - 190K
WiiU - 59.7K
XB1 - 161K
PS3 - 27.24K
Wii - 13.47K
360 - 49.47K
Total 501K
edit: 2007 numbers:
PS2 202,000
360 277,000
PS3 131,000
Wii 404,000
Total 1014K

Halo MCC is a pretty important release, as are sunset overdrive and forza horizon 2. And, yes, we know COD is popular and a pretty big deal, but you don't feel that you're vastly underestimating the Xbox One's 2015 by laying down all the marbles on this November like they have nothing else that can possibly top it next year even with full knowledge of what's coming to the PS4?
I mean, holiday 2015 is when the first real next gen Halo game from 343i arrives, it's possibly also around that same time that Quantum Break releases, and it's certainly when a proper next gen sequel to Tomb Raider releases. As good as this November could be for the Xbox One, I'd say next year has serious potential to be a whole lot better.
At this point in its life, the GameCube's price had been halved, so I'm not sure why this is stupid.

Madden Y/Y comp probably needs to wait until year end considering a reasonable amount also sold on the new consoles later in the year from memory.

I've been thinking this, and that and the large ammount of dual day-and-date releases over there are why P5's PS4 announcement wasn't much of a surprise to me. I wouldn't doubt your assessment for this reason, either.
cost of goods are very different.

PS3 and XBOX360 are still criminally overpriced.
RespectThySole

I agree there could potentially be a Halo 5 bundle, Black Ops 3 bundle, Quantum Break AND Rise of the Tomb Raider.
I think this is easily a better line up than this November and that's just what we know so far.

I'm not familiar with the statistics, but isn't Madden bigger than Halo? Even of we're talking about only on that specific console?
And that made it a huge success, right?
