Man, this popcorn tastes even better with all that salt.
By looking GAF obviously his decision has been making some Nintendo fans happy so there's that

You don't get the console vs PC comfy couch joke? It has a rich history.

6. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (Konami) < 280,000
7. NBA 2K14 (Take-Two Interactive)
8. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (Square Enix)
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX sold in its first month around 273,000 units so it's highly likely that Kingdom Hearts once again beat Final Fantasy.

and with such a blatant name too...
We know nothing about their QoL product yet and I really doubt they'll attempt another Wii U in the future.
Businesses like to make money so they'll do something.

I thought the 360 was supply constrained.
Thank you creamsugar! It was big and good information!
Look at the post history.
Yeah, but how does that joke work in this context?
Unity and Nintendo web framework, one of the few companies that are trying to innovate and gamify micro transactions.

As an Xbox One owner, I can't wait to get my hands on a PS4 as well, this generation is off to a good start and gona fucking rock. Cheers gamers! We're doing it right! I must thank the PS4 too, without you Microsoft probably wouldn't have hired a gamer guy as head of Xbox. TEAM GAF FTW!

You'd think they would at least have the decency to buy a couple thousand Vitas then.
RIP Vita
. You were too good for this side of the world, may Japan and indie games fuel you for many more years even if you cant actually buy the thing anywhere after its discontinued.Yikes. Where's that Wii U horse gif when you need it?
Any actual number for the Wii U creamsugar? That estimate is telling though.

back then it was hard to put out as much consoles and 360 was supply constrained till may 2006. i would hope xbox one is ahead. if it was doing fine there is no way MS includes titanfall for free and even discounts and stealth price cut the console. they even covered the 4.2 consumer sales with shipped for it could look a bit less bad.

Why should the sales of a 3rd generation product of a popular, well-established brand be measured comparatively against the sales of a 2nd generation product of a relatively popular, but still undeniably 2nd fiddle and less-established brand?
It's like comparing the sales of iPhone 3GS vs iPhone 4 or 5. For the i4/5 to do i3gs numbers would be a disgrace.

Well there's your problem... Only 9 Xone's out in the wild.

That ratio looks wrong to me...
That's the point. They're a highly conservative company, hoarding large cash piles rather than investing those retained earnings from what I recall out of fear of either collapse or take-over. When they've encountered strong, fierce competition, I'm under the impression they'd rather avoid it entirely and instead pursued uncontested (or at least perceived uncontested markets). They zig when others zag, and I don't think the impetus is always as you suggest, because they want to, but rather at least in part because they think the need to. So I find the idea that they're going to take this market failure as a message to modify and adapt to the current console market and try to appeal to the "core" again, somewhat optimistic.
The Vita was just simply too expensive to be successful especially with the addition of memory cards.
The XBO will be price dropped at e3.
Well, NPD constantly changes stuff retroactively, so maybe FFXIII-2 was lowered from 350k or something. Or maybe John Harker misremembered.
Anyway, Lightning ends the generation as one of its most memorable jokes. Her fans should be happy, not angry, that their games were so controversial and bombed. She will not be forgotten.
What about 3DS, though? Down yoy, but we could use a better ballpark...

I think saying it's nearing 4 digits means it's fairly close to 10k.
This isn't a thread for WW sales, so meh. 360 had the same problem WW as well.
jeez is there any big games coming up for wii u ?
Nice. Kingdom Hearts 3 should do very well
when it releases in late 2016.
I don't begrudge the posts being isolated to a few topics, since most of them seem fairly sane and reasonable.
Some people crack under the pressure of being legit shook by NPDs, unfortunately.
i really hope not. it will really kill the xbox one.
the whole xbox experience is because of kinect. in the sense that it what makes the system different.
i am not really happy with this news and i own both systems ps4 and xbox one.
but to see one system sells less than the other even tho the price dropped and released a big game just because that system is selling based on hype alone is kinda sad.
again, i own both systems. and not i only love my playstation 4, i adore it. but at the end of the day i play games on it. and currently xbox one just released a big profile game i expected the xbox one to out sell it
Mario Kart 8...at the end of May.

Dude, Before LR release, there were tons of gameplay trailers, a whole behind the scene documentary, a old school retro trailer, a live action commercial, gameplay info coming almost every week, Nomura's Art Contest and potentially more stuff that i might have missed on it. SE did their best to shove that game everywhere. Compared to LR, X|X-2 HD didn't really get properly marketing until after LR was released. Heck, i am sure they delayed X|X-2 HD to give more spotlight to LR, since it was supposed to release in Feb before X|X-2 HD. They did this despite the original game already having the english localization, which we saw in the form of a simple CFW hack on the Jap Ver for PS3.
As for the "series" remark, I was talking solely about XIII as a series.
Still is crazy to react that way. Enjoyment out of a product is not affected by how much it sells lol.

I don't get what it has to do with what we're discussing. Did you miss the relevance 'retail' or something?

I think that will be announced at least 2-4 weeks prior to E3 (so, soon). MS wont want this to be the dominant story of their E3. It could easily be spun as a negative by (*insert choice here*)

Mario Kart in May, Smash Bros. in Winter, Hyrule Warriors / X / Bayonetta 2 in 2014.

If it was > 10000 it would not be close to 4 digits though it would be 4 digits.

XB1 from a strictly numbers perspective is doing great. However, the same can be said for the PS4 in Japan. Both of these situations have a common big problem. The sale slowdown is steep. The fact that the XB1 sold worse week-for-week than it did in February, even with bundling, Titanfall, and discounts is kind of scary.
As an Xbox One owner currently only, this stuff doesn't bother me either way. I am having a blast with my new system and have purchased more digital content in less than a year then I did almost all of last gen. I look forward to my PS4 purchase in May for MLB The Show and anything else that comes out on both systems.
Also, posts that say "PS4 Nation" and shit like that are so fucking dumb.

Mario Kart won't do shit for the Wii-U
