I'm surprised JD, Lego and Skylanders sold better on the bone... Thought, that might be due Ps4 selling out and daddies/mums being unable to find it to gift their children...

Just Dance makes sense since the Xbox One comes with a camera, while the PS4 doesn't.

Yes, because you have more games Einstein.

It's good Microsoft brought more first party games to launch as well as keeping supply available to eager buyers. Not really a negative on either front.

We, as gamers, should applaud their devotion to providing content on a newly launched system, right?

They are counting Dead Rising 3 which is neither.

First party = Company owned dev using developing company owned IP
Second party = Independent dev developing company owned IP

Dead Rising is third party, even if Microsoft pitched in some cash.

Perhaps by your definition, but MS considers publishing and helping with development as 2nd party. They did the same with Epic and Gears, of which they did not own the IP either.
 
I'm assuming the symbols are the wrong way around for the 8th gen systems.

Any chance of a pie graph? :)

it's LTD, you would sure hope Wii U managed at least ~200k to stay ahead for one more month

and ok next NPD thread I'm predicting 5k for Vita, I will not get burned again
(inb4 it dives to 3k in January NPD)

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Vita :(

Super Mario 3D World LTD and Wii U Dec sales would be great cream! Thxs and good to hear from ya!
 
That he had to admit 3rd party sales were higher on ps4.
I'm impressed that he replied to the tweet at all. Hell, I don't care if he tries to qualify the 'yes', I appreciate that he answered a question that didn't put his company on top. I wish we got more PR like that. Definitely a step up from Nelson.
 
Why scea didn't put out a tearaway bundle with memory card for the holidays is beyond me.

Also lol at people saying scrap it, not going to happen. It can exist as a niche product still, and Japan's sales have improved.

Just Dance makes sense since the Xbox One comes with a camera, while the PS4 doesn't.

Just dance is playable without the camera though, but with move controllers, not sure about the cost of Move in US, here in UK, you can pick them up very cheaply. Though your right about the camera potentially having an effect on that one.
 
So if we count Dead Rising as a 3rd party game published by MS (which it is), MS sold more first party exclusive and 3rd party software in the US.

Looks like Dead Rising will easily meet the 2 million projected sales ww.
