A thosand posts in and still no Chobel eating a hat. Talk about weak threads now a days.
I know they did with Hardline, but they really didn't do much. Not sure about 4.
We're talking about the US

With a CEO publicly critical of the segment, recurring rumors of courting potential buyers of the Xbox brand, and all the Phantom Dust revelations (peanut budgets, fake reveals of fake games), it's really beginning to smell like MS has got their foot out the door of the traditional console space.

One of the guys in retail here said it has legs. It is still hanging around in the Amazon top 20. Once it gets a price cut to around $40 I expect a big spike in sales.

Eat the paperhat, its not that bad.
The original KH sold a fuckton of copies in the US iirc.
I usually don't care much about console sales and stuff, but I'm really happy to see MLB The Show high on the best selling list.
It is, hands down, the best sports game available and it's awesome to see it selling well and almost guaranteeing that Sony will keep investing in the license and franchise.

Nah, Microsoft did. Sony had the marketing deal for Battlefield 3, though.
Hardline had marketing deal with Sony? Wow..still sold more on Xbox One.

There are plenty of hat options out there you know, you don't have to eat a bearskin lol
Admittedly I'm going off old numbers shipped for KH & 13.
KH: 5.6 Million (Lifetime Sales)
XIII: 6.6 (Lifetime Sales)

I actually wasn't far off whatsoever. Started off thinking 250k - 350k was leaning towards 250.
Then posted last week it was gonna be close to my top end and was impressed with it. The difference between 350 and 389 is negligible.
Pretty sure I put 350, or maybe it was 300k was my top end? Haha either way Bloodborne did great and congrats to Sony and From!!
Those are worldwide numbers though. In the US KH sold more than XIII.

Why would you even make that bet? Bloodborne doing well wasn't outlandish.
Yes, but they really didn't push it. Maybe the delay had something to do with them not doing anything with it.

He went for the high risk low reward bet.
Barely advertised though. Wasn't a big deal. MGS, BAT, BAT will though.

It's a all about money, Microsoft and Sony would pay big money to get advertising to such as big game. I'm sure it would be justified as well through exclusive bundles and shit like that, it's something which I think will happen. I'd like it not to be the case and that could happen because I just saw a hardline advert on TV and there was no exclusive marketing there, Sony only got the beta first. Battlefront does not need hype but then again these co-marketing deals don't raise awareness of a game, rather just have a 3 second ending of a Playstation or Xbox logo. For that each company will pay stupid money, why would EA not pay for it?
EA are going to win big time with this game, like really big from the fact alone that the game will release around the same time. They will have Star Wars hype thanks to that and if there's co-marketing then even less money they need to spend. EA won.
They barely pushed it. After the Hardline delay Sony's focus went towards MLB and Bloodborne.

Delay affected the deal I bet.
and rightfully so imo. I'm sure EA didn't mind. Gotta push your own ips rather than a non numbered BF game.
Please God No. In a perfect world maybe. There is a reason each company has a specific identity.

This may be off-topic but if it helps you, I'm willing to tell you my childhood experience in eating crow:
Having spent my childhood growing up in Indonesia as an American-born Chinese, my family frequently dined at this Chinese seafood restaurant near our home that served fried pigeons as part of its menu. On some occasion, they substituted pigeon with crow. Being 8 years old at the time and having consumed fried crow, I remember it being delicious. Fried crow was similar to fried pigeon, the difference being that fried crow was a bit larger than fried pigeon; meatier, too. Crows in Indonesia aren't as large as crows here in Los Angeles though, but it may have to do with different urban environments as well.
As a result of that, any time I see crows, I don't really fear them or anything; I see them as delicious fried crow. This may explain why crows have kept their distance from me even after I moved to Los Angeles.
Anyway, whenever someone says "eating crow" as a negative connotation, I have to wonder where and why that colloquialism came about, because fried crows are pretty tasty.
Me too, I said couple days ago. Bloodborne sales are a surprise.

That's all good, except that I have to eat a hat (T_T), and in this case, literally eat it.

Time to jump in a time machine, I don't think we have sale numbers that go way back to PS2 days or do we?

Where does this 389 number come from. Does John have NPD data?

So, I'm guessing Bloodborne is now the best selling current-gen exclusive thus far, or at least, will be very soon?

You could do a hat trick and pull some pigeons or crows out of it and then cook them.
Alternatively, you could also do what Iron Wok Jan did in one of the story arcs involving pigeon-blood jelly dessert.
