Nintendo cannot force retailers to take inventory.

Fair enough, fair enough.

 

[acklame]

It speaks more to the shambles that the console market is in rather than the success of Sony.

Hardware sales were up 95% year over year.

?

 

[Magicpaint]

Not that I expect bundles to have a massive effect given the tracking period but the bundle sales percentage for MK8 is really low :\ The game itself sold great, but that was to existing customers for the first couple of days, anyway.

Watch Dogs did great and PS4 and X1 seem to be in very different places atm, wow. X1 really cratered.

 

[Gurish]

So with MS's non statement and the weak WIIU numbers i guess it's obvious that the 95% jump in hardware sales can be attributed almost exclusively to PS4?

 

[AniHawk]

Call me a brony ONE more time I swear to god...

what's the female equivalent of bro... sis? so i guess sony would be more appropriate.

He is comparing it to this same point in the prior generation. If this gen ends with less consoles sold than last gen, then how is this gen NOT a failure?

 

[Ty4on]

Huh, 1.25m * 0.29 is just 362.5k units so Watch Dogs on XbO and MK8 were very close indeed. MK8 sans bundle was ~345-355k

 

[shinra-bansho]

Wow, Kirby. And some people wonder why Nintendo makes Kirby games.

Because he's adorable?

That's a lot closer than I thought it would be.

Now what was the number in total?

How much does it add to a game's development budget to port to a platform?

Glad to see last-gen dying off very quickly.

Developers + publishers need to switch over to current-gen exclusive ASAP.

 

[Portugeezer]

Aqua did a comparison:

So they will use that spin for a long time, ignoring that there was a big difference in brand recognition from Xbox to Xbox 360.

And people wonder why they spend money on comarketing and exclusive content. Goodness

Yep. It's amazing how software sales have turned in Sony's favor. Getting some of the biggest "next-gen (focused)" games' marketing is only going to reinforce the trend.

Watch_Dogs Xbox One needs to be above 370K because of MK8 estimates (370-380K).

Too low, We already know that X1 SKU is the #2 overall SKU which beat out MK8 370K - 380K

 

[Aquamarine]

Nobody is calling the PS4 a "doom and gloom" situation.

 

[Arzehn]

Only number that matters right now is Vita. Let's see that 1000% increase.

 

[Swass]

Not terribly surprised by Mario Kart 8 doing well. It was the first AAA release on the Wii U in months, it was an anticipated title, and it was essentially buy 1 get 1 free with the Nintendo promotion giving you a free game with the purchase.

 

[AniHawk]

Glad to see last-gen dying off very quickly.

the industry would do well to have a lower-priced alternative. legacy platforms should serve that function, but now they're being supplanted by other devices. that's not a good thing.

Watch_Dogs Xbox One needs to be above 370K because of MK8 estimates (370-380K).

God, Watch Dogs sales are pretty crazy, especially for a new IP. Guess games do sell on hype. That or the thirst for Ubisoft games is real.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Yes destiny is going to be huge for Sony

Despite being a port, I think they should seriously consider a PS4 GTA V bundle for Xmas

PS4 is tracking ahead of PS3 at the same point. So.... your/his point?

Glad to see the Show doing well.

Wish I hadn't bought Watch Dogs though. Didn't like it.

I'm impressed the xbone version of Wolf did that well. It's not a multiplayer game so it's not like community matters.

 

[Lexxism]

I'm really loving the current gen splits are greater than the last gen splits

Hmm, okay. Well if that's true, WD would have had to sell at least ~1.28 million then.
