3DS vs PSP race remains close again this year. 3DS will be also down yoy if december follows same yoy drop as november compared to last year. It seems the boost New3DS gave during the start of the year will not be enough after all.
 
Current PS4 can run VR with no problems just don't expect high end GFX.

Apparently not.

As we learned earlier this year, the PlayStation VR headset doesn't plug directly into the PlayStation 4. Instead, it plugs into a processing box, which in turn plugs into the PlayStation 4. This allows people to use the TV and PS4 to interact with, or just watch, the person playing their VR game.

The black box looked a bit smaller than a Wii and is used to process the VR graphics and sort out the second-screen social experience on the television.

Someone tell me again how a new version of the PS4 with this add on processing box for VR built in isn't a good (inevitable) idea?

Okay, this info changes perception a lot. VR-Helmet plus uglybox plus PS4 vs. VR-Helmet plus shiny new PS4slim+.
I think for many this would be a reason to update, especially when the PS4slim+ can enhance non-VR games, too. Like better framerate or so.
I read that CEO of Crystal Dynamics - Darrell Gallagher left. Is that true?
It would be so funny if he reappeared in Redmond.

Why have I never considered this possibility before? Silly me.

Though you do still have the potential for customer confusion -- "I have which version now? Do I need to buy the box or don't I?"

So 3DS is at 350k? Terrible. Nintendo fucked up by not having a major holiday release for the system. Maybe they expected Yokai Watch to be bigger.

What are the LTD totals for the PSP and NDS in the US?
 
Yeah for like a month. It's not like the game didn't sell well on it's own. 2m WW so far.

Splatoon sold as much before bundles were released.

They were as much 'sales' as any other official or unofficial bundle ever. They are units bound to a hw sale and assigned to a user account after the code is redeemed.

They are free copies, though. The Japanese Splatoon bundle costs as much as buying the console and the game on their own - just with a small discount.

That depends of the grade of promotion the platform holder wants to make. I'm sure you remember many bundles from different platforms that had the same price as the system alone. I do. They were never discounted in ltd sales.
 
I can't tell if the Bloodborne crowd are Missionaries spreading the gospel of good games or the most insecure people on the planet desperately seeking approval.

Though you do still have the potential for customer confusion -- "I have which version now? Do I need to buy the box or don't I?"

That's one of the benefits of doing this. "Of course you need this! You don't want an OLD PS4, do you? Get a shiny new one, like all the cool people have."

It's like console marketing 101.
