Just getting in late on the east coast and I don't know where to start. Has CS arrived? Are these "First September's" numbers for real?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I'm trying to figure out if this post is serious.

Neuro is definitely joking and making fun of a poster that legitimately called the PS4 numbers "underwhelming", with zero follow up and frame of reference.

 

[Nightengale]

Didn't a separate team make Ascension?

I'm talking about Stig's game that was being worked on for 4 years.

Separate team of about...50? people.

It wasn't a full blown production team. Ascension team moved over to Stig's project once Ascension shipped.

Full production normally takes at least 2 years.

 

[SwiftDeath]

That sounds about right. 10 million as of August, maybe 600k during the rest of that month, and 1.3-1.4 in September.

I believe you have a similar approach to X1 WW sales right? Have you updated that?

Yeah I have a similar approach for XB1 WW sales. I should really update it and I will at some point in the next few days in this thread. It'll take a little more effort as I want to pull out any sales for countries where we have 2013 YTD numbers and then 2014 follow-ups like Germany, Spain and UK etc.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Why can't you?

EDIT:


the WiiU flopped so hard it reversed the flow of time and made me a PC gamer since the early 90s?

I should have said went PC as a gaf poster and began downplaying the next-gen consoles. The underlying reason for this was the Wii U turning out to be an underpowered flop. I have no idea how long you've gamed on PC, obviously.

Well, you start at page 1...

...and you read...

...and you read some more...

...and then, when you're finished reading, you make a post!

The scary thing is, some people aren't. Some people legitimately think that 538K isn't good enough.

Yep, not for a "market leader."

Wut

Let them dream.

Ah. Didn't know they just started full production after Ascension. nvm then.

 

[Biker19]

PS4 numbers are really underwhelming for a market leader.

Really? I think that they were the 2nd/3rd highest behind PS2 & Wii, I believe. And not too far off from them, either.

 

[The Shogun]

Good catch guys and gals I keep forgetting about Rime. Which is unfortunate because its one of the more interesting titles coming in my opinion. Beautiful art style.

Sounds great, looking forward to it.

No exact numbers for PS4 and Xbox 1 yet?

Yes

Nope.

Here's why:

[Shinypogs]

I fucking loved that show, I miss it so much even if it went wonky towards the end.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

And MLB.

If everything is according to the plan2015 first half will be insane with retail releases.
MLB, Bloodborne, The Order and Ratchet.

I'm also expecting Persona 5 to show up in the first half of the year.

 

[Verendus]

The scary thing is, some people aren't. Some people legitimately think that 538K isn't good enough.

I'm not ashamed to say it. I feel incredibly disappointed.

 

[Vire]

Everyone loves a spanking.

I'd actually prefer if it was bit closer, just for the sake of keeping them honest.

Seeing the headline PS+ subscriptions have doubled since Destiny's launch certainly makes all the issues PSN has been having as late make a lot more sense.

 

[Hoje0308]

Good catch guys and gals I keep forgetting about Rime. Which is unfortunate because its one of the more interesting titles coming in my opinion. Beautiful art style.

Yes, will buy as soon as pre-order becomes available.

 

[The Artisan]

Trying to get them all out before the end of a fiscal quarter maybe?

well a fiscal quarter is 3 months isn't it? they didn't have to have it scheduled the same month as another exclusive.

And in my case give me 2 exclusives my PS4 has been thirsting for since Infamous and TLoU: Remastered one after another. I kinda dig that even if it's silly

that's fine.. i'm more interested in the order but i don't really care for either of these games

There's no division of customers. Bloodborne is going to completely swallow The Order up if they're released in the same month. Unless they give The Order a week lead time so that every owner of The Order can finish the interactive movie prior to Bloodborne.

this only furthers my point... dumbest thing ever for them to do this.

 

[N.Domixis]

Will Tearaway have a retail version in the states?

 

[RexNovis]

Sony posters never see a storm coming. That's why the PSP and Vita came second despite being predicted otherwise on Gaf. They see hype with one eye and post with the other.

Well then I can see arguing with you will go nowhere clearly you are immune to logic and/or common sense.

 

[SeventhSon]

32.33 repeating, of course.

 

[SubAdictos]

Rime
Tomorrow Children
Tearaway
Until Dawn
Alienation
Rapture
Ratchet

Persona 5. That's it. War is over.

 

[Aces&Eights]

For the release date? No. TF would've gotten cannibalized by Destiny, MCC and CoD. EA and Respawn want this franchise to be relevant and releasing during the downtime is the best way to get the foundation set and build a core fanbase.

You are right about CoD. Totally forgot that was coming. So... don't mind me anymore. lol

 

[Xenus]

I know, right?

I would like to know in what world a fantastic 538K result is anything BUT amazing.

Some people's expectations...

Obviously in the world where consoles sell 11ty BILLION CAUSE HYPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE

 

[stryke]

No exact numbers for PS4 and Xbox 1 yet?

We have them.

Yep. I don't think Raziel is going to post again in this thread.

I'll save you some time. You can start on page 50.

 

[The Shogun]

All we really know right now is that it was "definitely the best selling PS4 SKU."

Shit I'll throw something in for fun too. Its still selling damn well in October as well. Lower percentage of total consoles than in September but the momentum is still alive.

That being said I can't give ya NPD like Cream and Aqua. They are the masters of that field

 

[allan-bh]

Between april an august that's true, but september was amazing.We need to wait and see what kind of market leader PS4 will be.

 

[outunderthestars]

Or page 25 if you're not one of the "50 posts per page" heathens.

Oh you!

Rime
Tomorrow Children
Tearaway
Until Dawn
Alienation
Rapture
Ratchet

Lots of colorful mid-sized titles. Really nice to see.

 

[baekshi]

Vita sold 20k....


Okay.

 

[MavFan619]

The scary thing is, some people aren't. Some people legitimately think that 538K isn't good enough.

Yeah it's odd but some people like to fill the role of being alarmists in sales threads. Even when the sales are looking very good.

 

[Poimandres]

Does anyone else think that these numbers could spell doom for Sony? After the unprecedented backlash against Destiny it's all but guaranteed that people are going to be returning their PS4's enmass before their Dual Shock 4's even have time to fall apart. They'll see the enertainment juggenaut MCC sitting on the shelves and won't be able to resist the allure of The One. Desting will leave them with a case of blue balls only The Master can satisfy. It's going to be a Onederful November!

Wouldn't be surprised if that's why Sony is keeping quiet on their US holiday bundle offer for now.

Persona 5 is realsing in NA next year????

Holy shit.

too obvious lol

Or page 25 if you're not one of the "50 posts per page" heathens.

still the same number of posts though

 

[Hoje0308]

And they have nearly enough to release an exclusive every month. We'll still get a summer drought though. Motherfu*****!

I see you've graduated from the Verendus school of thought.

everyone is 100ppp master race until you hit a thread with 60 gifs on chrome and your computer goes to crap =)

Seems like a legit theory. Its coming soon though.

 

[Vire]

What was the PS2's worldwide sales a year out comparatively?

Are we on pace for another 100+ million console seller or is that not sustainable in the industry anymore?

 

[Ty4on]

Woohoo, Sony shipped a new Borderlands 2 bundle and it sold! It's as people they need stock to buy it...

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Rime

How dare you miss Wild?

 

[Nightengale]

Can't speak for everyone, but I'm just as hyped for Rime and TC as I am for Bloodborne and Uncharted.

There's just something so appealing about those mid tier titles that feel different and colourful.
