As great as smash numbers are still pretty damn bad for 3DS hw. They really should have launched N3DS in US too this year. Holiday season is going to be ugly.

I think this might be the end game for xbox unfortunately this gen. Things are looking really bleak. If they can hang in there they will still get most of the third party games along with exclusives but a PS3 like return is looking very unlikely at this point.

Utter Domination by Sony and Bungie

All the MS advertising for Madden and it still sells better on PS4.

Good times!

OH yeah I am sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread before, but I didn't see it ....

What are the approximate HW numbers for PS4 in September?

From what I can tell PS4 seems to have sold like 500K and XB1 200K, but I am not sure if that is right.

XB1 at 200k would be horrible

So PS4 nearly tripled its August sales number (which as far as I can tell was about 190K), so maybe around 540-550K mark for the month of September... Would this the best the console has sold this year during a month?

Yeah, best month of 2014.

They really don't have much to gloat on. The most they can do is make a PR statement about the retail Destiny sales and that's pretty much it.

It would be pretty foolish of them to talk about momentum now. Right after Sony sold over 500k PS4's
In a digital age I guess it's OK to brag about physical copies of Destiny they had to give away for free


Telling you, that Destiny Cologne campaign worked

Ok this made me laugh.

We are not even one year into this Gen and we have no clue what the xbone numbers are.
 
Is Mordor really that good?
Also who's the girl?

Mordor is...really good, but it could be a lot better.

It really, really depends on how much you enjoy killing Orcs. If you feel like you might get bored of that at some point, then the game can wear thin quickly. It doesn't take long to get so powerful that nothing can stand up to you, even captains, and the feeling of "I have to get out of here or there will be actual gameplay consequences" starts to fade away.

At some point, you are become death, and nothing can stand in your way.

Also why pubs aren't sweating NPD like they used to.



About 5 for some of the more core offerings. Early days, small sample, etc, but it's been a dramatic shift. Really messing up a bunch of stuff because there's really no usable competitive data on digital.

So I guess unless NPD start tracking digital sales, it will be irrelevant in few years.

Ok, but you missed the most important question. Who's that girl =)
 
The info EA and Ubisoft gave up to now about on DD % on the new consoles topped at 15%.

That was before the big Destiny digital pre-order push. Wait for the next earnings calls. Things have changed, or maybe it's just a blip.

Maybe that number will come down once true mass adoption starts, but I don't think so.

I'm just face palming.

People really need to have better reading comprehension...

It sold better by the metrics NPD uses. But there are caveats. Reading comprehension wouldn't tell you that it's likely Destiny moved more units on the PS4, inference would.

Hey, it's a win in their minds! Don't deprive them of this only joy in their lives.

Front running console warrior posts are so goofy.

Stop making this thread smell.
 
Decided to do some math and figure out how much Mario Kart 8 did. From numbers I found from these threads, I ended up with about 1111k (though July is ambiguous). So between July and August, there have been up to 89k in digital. Disregarding digital in May and June, this total becomes 979k so now up about 200k in digital sales

Smash 3DS doing 705k in two days though. Fucking curbstomped Shadow of Mordor in less time which released on how many platforms? Three? Damn.

I blame Destiny.

At least for me personally. I'm a huge Forza fan but didn't bother buying FH2 yet because I'm still going full steam with Destiny. I'll get there eventually, but for now, Destiny trumps all others.

I've played Destiny twice since I got FH2. :p

But you're right. A lot of people were already playing Destiny.
