RIP video game industry

 

[B.O.O.M]

Regular season is boring

 

[Dead Prince]

Playstation gamers are smart shoppers waiting for black friday deals.that's why October sales were low amirite.

 

[thelastword]

So happy for the 2k series this gen, NBA2k is pulling in great numbers, WWE2k charted. They have a great little engine powering their sports games and their sports games look and perform best. I just wished these guys could make Fifa2k, Madden2k, Tennis2k and Golf2k, Nhl2k. These games would actually interest me again.

 

[Elandyll]

304k? That's it on Halo/ Price cut month?

No wonder neither is really gung ho at PR.

 

[Kathian]

Next year will be interesting for consoles. Beginning to hit a ceiling. Tighter demographic audience and a front loaded gen - but software should still be strong.

 

[hawk2025]

...what in the world did you people expect a remaster to sell?

 

[allan-bh]

PS4 price drop not so hot at retail after all.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Welp, Sony/PS4 had a good run.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Glad to see Uncharted bombing. Going into 3rd holiday period with a half assed remaster is a disgrace.

 

[wachie]

sry nvm

 

[Diprosalic]

305k in halo month
yeah, that's not great.

 

[Y2Kev]

Rip video games
Rip assassins creed
Rip aaa
Rip carface

 

[Guevara]

I guess everyone who wants a console owns one by now.

This is really bad if true. And XB1 is supposed to be the winner? Damn, the consoles must have done poorly in October.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Ok, then, if the 304k is confirmed, that's not good.

 

[N.Domixis]

Shiet, if xbox is at 300k ps4 is in trouble? Am I wrong?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Wow, no wonder we have no PR.

What a terrible month for everyone...

 

[Chamber]

Consoles are dead crowd are about to storm thread.

 

[CharminUltra]

Yoshi > Uncharted AND Xbone > PS4 Whaaaaaaa

This is one of those days.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Congrats to MS for beating Sony in their price drop month and at a time when Halo isn't what it used to be. That's a good result for them this month, although we really need to see how close (or not) the numbers were. I can't see Sony being too far behind however and if it is close than PS4 also put in the work during Halo month.

Edit: if those numbers are true then that's disappointing stuff really. For both sides. Maybe congrats isn't the right word here.

 

[Stike]

I expect the sales to rise significantly for November.

Probably many shoppers were waiting for the Black Friday bundurus...

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

RIP Console gaming. May you rest in pieces.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

terrible numbers all around. everyone lost.

 

[Gurish]

Wow this is a horrible month, how can it be? everybody are waiting for Black Friday and the holidays?

 

[small44]

PS4 price drop not so hot at retail after all.

They should have wait and make a 100$ price cut

 

[Hoo-doo]

305k?

Wow, GAF had the average predictions at 400k+ lol.

 

[Asd202]

So both console bombed? lol

 

[Kill3r7]

The X1 number seems incredibly low. Especially when you consider that it was Halo 5 month and PS4 just had a price cut. Pretty awful month for consoles and my poor predictions.

 

[JaggedSac]

How much did PS4 sell last October?

 

[Bgamer90]

Man -- I expected ~100K more for both consoles. Wow.

 

[RexNovis]

Wait so the lead console for the month only sold ~304k? WTF? That's horrible.

 

[wachie]

Shiet, if xbox is at 300k ps4 is in trouble? Am I wrong?

$99 PS4 on Black Friday.

book it

Congrats to MS for beating Sony in their price drop month and at a time when Halo isn't what it used to be.

lol at that spin

 

[Mpl90]

If that's real, then, asking again: when did the PS4's price cut start in US?

 

[Kathian]

People confusing Uncharted with this bomb

This is a thread for October.

 

[Tubie]

305k can't be right, that's terrible for both consoles.

 

[Welfare]

Yup, 304k for the Xbox One.

Couldn't beat Titanfall month at 311k.

 

[AmuroChan]

TLOU remastered did so much better than UC Collection. Maybe the age of HD remasters is over?

TLOU also benefited from very little competition. It was released in the middle of the summer.

 

[Dead Prince]

Told yall sony better off at $399 instead. price drop they devalued the system now.

 

[Rolf NB]

I bet I can get asscrud for 20 on Black Friday.

Would you ever play it, or merely add it to your Guillemot shrine?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So both console bombed? lol

damn, we already counting the Wii U out huh

 

[Blue Ranger]

PS4 lost even with a Price cut..

Sony can't catch a break.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

everyone's waiting on them BF deals

 

[Bear Force One]

Great too see Halo 5 as a standalone SKU top the list. Deserved.

I think overestimate and are overestimating the power of the Uncharted franchise. It sold a lot as a franchise on the PS3 but it's been awhile since the last Uncharted and with these sales, especially how it was advertised, project a downward trend for the franchise similar to what happened to God of War.

They're both still big franchises but Sony would be better served moving on with The Last of Us, Gran Turismo and more exclusivity deals like Street Fighter V.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Xbix win with only 300k? Thats shitty, RIP consoles

 

[Daemul]

If XBO won and it sold 305k, then I don't want to see what the other consoles sold like.

 

[Loris146]

This is bad.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Sony right now!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Damn, PS4 software domination this month.

Guess all XB1 owners bought Halo instead.

Not a very good hardware month at all .
NOV and DEC have some pulling up to do .
Guess like people said the 50 price cut did not really do anything .
