There are tens of millions of PS3's out there as well, yet the PS4 outsells every other version. 8 years in the market will do th- Oh wait.
Halo Anniversary came out without it's original multiplayer, good (but not great reviews), and a much smaller scope.
The MCC is Microsoft's BIG game of the fall, with a huge scope, budget, and advertising push.
Define what you think is "significant", because I can guarantee that MCC is going to sell more than any other first party game (on any console) this year, and do at about 2.5-3 million in 2014 (month and a half) alone. That is significant.
PC Ghosts must've sold negative copies.
Refurb units count as a new sale on the books. They sold the original, replaced it for the customer and fixed the broken one to then re-sell. It's considered a new WiiU entering the market and they count it as a sale. MS and Sony do the same thing, but they sell their refurb units directly through gamestop for example.

Oh shit yeah, you have to be almost eagle-eyed when reading MS PR to spot the spin, and there certainly is some there! Shocking.

I would guess that he is referring to what you said about that most FPS games released in these days have aweful balance and map design. Its fine if you think that of course, thats would be your opinion, but the way you worded it, it could look like you thought that this is the general consensus among people, and that tons of people are waiting for Halo because of this (as in, they arent enoying today's FPS that much, so they will definitelly buy Halo). I doubt that this is the general consensus among people with today's FPS, otherwise i think the sales numbers would have been a lot lower for those games.
Really hard to say how much the Halo collection will sell, in my opinion. I assume that Halo 3 and 4 are still up and runing online, and Halo 1 Annversary Edition was released not that long ago (unless that had less content than the original Halo 1 game). I think Halo 2 in the collection will be the biggest draw/sales point. I'm looking forward to see how much it sells.
To be technical accurate, you said it (also?) after the PS4 was revealed
(Sorry, i just had to mention it).http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=48169064&postcount=10
But you're right that it was on the assumption that the Xbox One would have backward compability.

See my edit. I trust Aquamarine's confirmation if he said so.

Particularly as Goldeneye sold far more than Halo
What about the first 21 weeks launch alligned in Japan to give a better comparison?
Code:
Wii: 2,166,405
NDS: 1,975,309
PSP: 1,277,990
3DS: 1,254,604
NGC: 1,157,879
WIU: 893,393
PS3: 812,074
PSV: 676,208
[B]PS4: 627,627[/B]
DC: 594,668
360: 132,242Sadly it is really a small piece of the pie. If you were to take the average numbers of the various consoles weekly, multiply them by 5 for the 5 weeks in this NPD,, and then double it to represent the population difference between the US and Japan, it would still look like they are all bombing hard. Only the two handhelds would hold up, but even then the decreased interest in the US offsets that.

I don't believe Sony has ever given out PS4 numbers, maybe maybe November. We must rely on our cream overlord for that

I'm curious how long this will last for Watch Dogs. Dunno if I'm wrong in assuming the 360 SKU is going to overtake the PS4 SKU in a month or 2.

Yep saw it. So 155k or so.
Yep Wii U is the best selling home console in Japan right now, weekly, LTD and launch aligned.
Wii U LTD 1.830.868
PS4 LTD 635.645

Yeah but how do you think they'll swing once they're ready? They're going where everyone else is at*, and that's turning out to be the PS4
*Obviously I mean the majority; some folks are gonna go sans-PS4 regardless. Their choice, tho they're missing out.
Same. It's ridiculous to think MS is lying about XBO #s...this time. Would be nice to have PS4 #s tho.
Halo Anniversary came with the maps remade for Halo Reach, not the original multiplayer. So this is a bit different.

Of course the PS4 is going to sell more if you include its launch but not the Wii U's.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
We have seen some GAFers literally say they thought that was the case when they got their unit.
Even still if it was already counted for total it won't be in the monthly sales to gauage current demand for the product.
I also thought this as well, but I wasn't 100% sure this was the case.

Best Selling 8th Gen console
Kind of an important qualifier considering PS3 is outselling the PS4 still and is close to Wii U weekly numbers

With what games, PS4 won't even see games of those calibre for years. What your stating is not a positive. it just means the PS4 doesn't have attractive games.
Think both will get pretty big pushes since it seems like both will get their own bundles.
Halo MMC will get a bigger push though mainly due to it being a game of an establish series that's releasing during the Holiday shopping season.
I don't follow any of the three above posts. You're grouping all consoles and their userbase into one pool. There are a lot of variables that could factor to the differences.
At face value, rightly or wrongly, it appears that the ps3 users were tired of their low end tech consoleand were in rush to jump to the best tech in the market, I guess.
I was just looking at it from an xbox userbase. Not industry. I guess that explains why I am lost
I'm out.

Am i in the media create thread?
No doubt Sunset Overdrive is their other big game for the fall. But no, a new IP from Insomniac isn't going to be able to compete with every single mainline Halo game and a 100 maps for $60. It's the series that defines Xbox. It's not a slight to SO, no PS4 or WiiU first party game will compete either (this year).
Comparing the MCC to H:A is not quite cogent as the value of the former outstrips the latter by orders of magnitude.
MCC is relaunching two of the most beloved multiplayer suites ever, CE for the first time ever on consoles. Halo 2 and 3 were two of the most played games online in gaming history. Combine that with four campaigns and upgraded framerate.
Did Goldeneye singlehandedly usher in the online multiplayer console revolution and establish UI and matchmaking standards that are still used to this day?
No, it didn't.
Compile Heart will save the PS4 in Japan. And people will weep.
While Halo Anniversary did decent I feel it would have done much, much better if they didn't butcher the multiplayer. Something they've figured out by this point.
Having the same multiplayer experience as the old games I feel is a really big deal.

So you think the halo remastered collection will be the highest selling first party game of 2014?

Too quick for my ninja edit.
that's almost assuredly going to be Mario Kart 8, no?
I love Japanese sales in NPD threads.

Assuming the Xbone has sold 5-6 million by then, that would be an attach rate of 50%.
That is an absolutely mental prediction to make.
I think Advanced Warfare will outsell Destiny pretty easily. Not that they are even meant to compete, having the same publisher and all. I'm still somewhat surprised they are releasing only eight weeks apart, but I'd assume Activision knows COD will get more multiplayer fans while Destiny will get the campaign/co-op fans.

Thanks for the clarification, i didnt know that. Should be interesting to see the splits between the games. All of them have online multiplayer and they're releasing 4 games at once.

Isn't MGS5 IN 2015?
If Sony will make a special bundle it will help PS4 a lot

A significant portion of Xbone owners probably own both consoles and treat the PS4 as their main for multiplats.
Singlehandedly? Xbox Live existed for 2 full years before Halo 2 came out. Granted, before Halo 2 came out, Socom II alone was more popular than all of Xbox Live.

Driveclub? Smash Bros? I think PS4 and Wii U will hold out well on the 1st-party front this holiday season.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It wouldn't surprise me if it actually ends up being TLOU purely based on the PS4 having more units in the wild than either Wii U or PS4.
This. I predict between 2 to 2 & a half million copies sold at best. Not all 5 million owners are gonna buy it, as all of them are probably not huge fans of Halo at that, but got the console for something else like TitanFall.

Should do but that's one game meaning a single bump then fall much like the wii u. The situation will only change when it receives something approaching proper support.
Anyway this conversation is going wildly of topic and there's better threads to discuss it.
