NPD Sales Results for March 2014 [Up4: FFX/X-2 HD]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Because you don't go to EA and say, hey, figure out how much you think you would make by selling this game on the PS4 and we'll give you that to be exclusive to us and then not expect to sell a bunch of extra consoles because of it. Just the fact that there were discounted Titanfall bundles everywhere means that they expected this game to move consoles.
It would be closer to parity though. More powerful system vs camera/microphone system in the box.

About 80$ per unit.
once again, they are selling PS3 at $270 and not dropping the price.
By your reasoning, PS3 would be already at $149 or less.
Now or December, it is all the same, it wont happen.
If MS goes crazy aggressive, they will simply bundle a game or increase HDD to 1TB. But MS wont go crazy aggressive because their investors are hard on them for losing money on "side" projects like this.
I would assume so, yeah.

I thought the Yoshi 3DS didn't actually come with the game in order to protect consumers.

Nope. The Special Edition Yoshi 3DS XL did not come packaged with the game.
False choice.
They have both have red names. Red is Nintendo's color. Think about it!
Damn. How is there that big of a difference when the Xbox is so much weaker? I mean yeah the Kinect is there but jeez.
It's not an easy life being a shill.
I've posted repeated that I'll take money and shill for whatever. No calls back so far

What the heck is going on in this thread. I'm shocked that I am wrong but my goodness. I said I didn't think there would be meltdowns but shit, The meltdowns are real! Ben and Gies both going off on twitter about reliability of NPD results!? WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!?!
Where was this screaming advocacy for NPD when the Xbox was winning for all 6 years of last gen? Where was this sense of doubt in the number tracking? What is going to on??!?!!?!

The third-party publishers and analysts seemingly had 10,000,000 next-gen systems sold-through as their expectation for the fiscal year, so the combined numbers are still speaking well for the odds of next-gen titles getting green-lit, even if the ratio is a bit more skewed than most likely imagined.
Hopefully we'll see more companies stepping up with their plans for PS4/XB1 releases since the total Gen 8 install base is larger than had been anticipated.

I don't think they know how to market anything anymore.
The reason behind it is simpler than many people seem to realize.
Sony stuck by their gun as the have been hell bent on pushing gaming on the same curve they have always been doing, at the same time, all other manufacturers were busy trying too hard to find some undiscovered goldmines all for themselves.
Nintendo thought they had the next big thing with the tablet/traditional controller mixture, whereas Microsoft thought their gain would substantially increase if they merge gaming with the more common and traditional mediums. Sony was actually the only one who stayed on their normal path pushing and focusing the area in which most console gamers care about.
I firmly believe the massive success of Wii/DS and the subsequent rise of casual market from Facebook and Smartphones deluded a lot of top executives. Everyone seemed too focused on an easy cash-in from a new untapped market, they started focusing less and less on the better defined console gaming market. Sony, I believe is the only who has been consistent in their vision of delivering high-end games, which although sort of backfired during the early years of last generation, it has been one of the biggest factors on putting Sony where they are right now in the console market.
ESRAM.
If you know anything about that game then you'd no they aren't. A damn mess.

You know MS was sweating it all day....
Sony had no idea what Microsoft's numbers were but when Sony announced their 7 million sold through yesterday MS surely knew what was likely to happen today and were readying their PR army. That 5 million # was on the ready as a counter (even if it wasn't apples to apples) this shows there was intent behind it .
Guess MS is getting a small taste of what Nintendo is used to and seem to be dealing with it in the same way. Denial...

He probably took the info from famousmortimer.
It's not very good.
It's actually extremely good. Surpasses the original Yoshi's Island in some ways.
Purchase XB1/TF Bundle, Sell Kinect for $50, Sell TF for $40, Sell XB1 for $400, and then buy a PS4 and a game with $30 left over.

Oh great. Chandler? I can rally behind that.
Seriously? I think the new one is boring, and I loved the original Yoshi's Island.

Why should anyone have to sell anything they just bought? That in itself adds an inconvenience expense that a $50 sale does not cover. No deal.

Was that true what someone wrote about the 360 taking the most sales against the PS3 and Wii now, for best selling 7th gen console?!?!?! I had no idea. I probably read that wrong.
