Yes. So it sold over 3X as much as he predicted.

Right, so that's even more stupid on his part. And baffling.

 

[CaptainGyro]

I'd return it, but that's me. As long as she paid no more than 250 for it.

Holy fuck way to be a party pooper on somebody's birthday jesus christ

 

[NateDrake]

Great for TLOU hitting #1, although I'd hoped it would've surpassed the million mark. I think it'll do strong next month as well. Ten million consoles/ 988k sold is less than 10%. Everyone with a PS4 should play this if they haven't already.

988k are the PS3 launch sales from last yr.

 

[TomShoe]

Oh, I don't know... good games perhaps?

Games sell systems? What kind of crazy talk is that? Fuck 'outta here.

Spoiler

There are things fundamentally wrong with Wii U that keep it from selling.

That was for PS3. It probably did much less NPD this time but it should have done decently.

 

[Kouriozan]

I mean, people don't realize now how impossible it is for Wii U. They'd now have to have something like 155k-160k every off holiday month - and do better in the holidays - to even hit GCN numbers.

It simply is never happening for the poor Wii U

We know it's impossible since the big system seller didn't boost hardware sales that much and the momentum quickly died.

 

[Aquamarine]

988k are the PS3 launch sales from last yr.

Again, it's 985K. Gotta be accurate in Sales Age threads.

 

[SwiftDeath]

People are getting confused about PS3 first month sales of TLOU and PS4 first month sales

WE DO NOT YET HAVE FIRST MONTH SALES OF TLOU PS4

 

[Amir0x]

Most people do know. I'm generally addressing the few that still do not, as last month's thread provided a glimpse of those folk

 

[phanphare]

I'm not saying don't like it, but if someone overpays for something, it's good to let them know. I know I paid too much for mine.

jesus dude, give it a rest.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Because she probably paid too much for it.

Dude, it's a birthday present. Just stop.

Sorry about that.

Those magic numbers again!

 

[OléGunner]

Need the combo for this thread.

Gif of forever

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Uncharted collection is definitely happening now

Day One when it does.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have seen comments like this from Arthur Gies, having never heard of him previously. What a massive bellend, I can't imagine even GAF would debate whether or not he is completely biased. It appears he doesn't even try to hide it.

Yep, I didn't know much about him until relatively recently. So I'm not reading anything from Polygon knowing they employ such a character.

 

[DNAbro]

Why? Do you have a problem?

You know it's extremely rude to recommend to someone to return a gift.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Mess.

I can't even right now.

 

[veritassin]

Holy fuck way to be a party pooper on somebody's birthday jesus christ

Eh, I'd be concerned if someone bought me something like this and it was probably pretty expensive, etc.. But hey maybe I'm like a real person or something.

You know it's extremely rude to recommend to someone to return a gift.

It's also rude to accept overly expensive gifts, especially if they don't have that value.

 

[Kazenokatana]

I know it's probably too late already, but Nintendo should suck it up and change the Wii U's name before the holidays. That + Smash Bros + a respectable marketing budget may help it.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Sorry about that.

No worries. Capitalization was meant for clarity not anything else

 

[ZSaberLink]

....I think I quite like EM2. Admittedly I've only played an hour of the Vita version so far, but it didn't seem too bad.

The Wii U version was apparently really broken. I think the Wii version was the best.

 

[evildose]

988k are the PS3 launch sales from last yr.

I bet it went past the million mark then. Any idea if we'll get official numbers for it?

 

[NateDrake]

Or maybe you're an ass. They are clearly happy with their birthday gift and the games they got. Instead of telling him to return it, don't say anything.

I bet it went past the million mark then. Any idea if we'll get official numbers for it?

Yes, TLOU PS3 sold over a million in the US.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Hey SmokyDave, see if you can't get someone to give you the unit numbers for your favorite hardware. You might like what you see.

 

[Bunta]

Nice numbers for TLOU.

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[Kathian]

I think someone's partner can decide how much making them happy is worth without strangers advise.

 

[rokkerkory]

go TLOU!

go MK8!

COD is a BEAST!

 

[Portugeezer]

Any idea of the hardware figures?

 

[vin-buc]

God, this thread is making me want to run out and pick up a PS4 + TLOU bundle. I want to play that game so hard!

I had it on the ps3 and got less than halfway - sold it and got the remaster. One of the best games ever IMO. Writing is incredible. Just finished it and the dlc (comes on the disk). This is a next gen game hands down. I didn't care for the mp.

How can some not realise this? Not chance of a recovery at all. Just have to enjoy the games that show up on the system and be done with it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Vita rises to heaven confirmed.

Yea, but she probably doesn't know much about games in general considering the games she chose.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I'm surprised more companies didn't jumped on the "remaster" bandwagon after TR success.

I think It might be late since a great deal of big software releases is coming in the next months

 

[Guevara]

OK, I guess the PS4 has _one_ game.

Yes the Framerate is unbelievable.

Wtf, his wife got him a gift. He seems to appreciate that gift. Why are you trying to turn this into a problem here?

 

[Amir0x]

Hey, you're speaking to the choir! I don't know how some can not realize it, only that some did not and steadfastly refused to acknowledge it!

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

TR didn't do amazingly though iirc. Or do you know figures?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Hey SmokyDave, see if you can't get someone to give you the unit numbers for your favorite hardware. You might like what you see.

Dave's happy with more than anything over 5k these days.

 

[Mysterious]

What are MK8's legs like?

 

[allan-bh]

Nintendo software LTD includes eShop?

 

[Daemul]

I'd return it, but that's me. As long as she paid no more than 250 for it.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

 

[ascii42]

Hey SmokyDave, see if you can't get someone to give you the unit numbers for your favorite hardware. You might like what you see.

Very interesting. Then again, I'm not sure what constitutes "good" sales or not for the Vita.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Wtf, his wife got him a gift. He seems to appreciate that gift. Why are you trying to turn this into a problem here?

Because it's a Wii U and not worth any value, of course!

HOLY CRAP! MY WIFE JUST CAME HOME WITH A WII U AND A TON OF GAMES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!
