nah I doubt it. Would lead to some hilarious meltdowns if it does happen tho lol


I:SS with an impressive start. Better than I imagined at least because I was sure Ground Zero would top it.

The Titanfall drop is insane. I can see why Dark Souls drop, it's a bit of a niche product due to difficulty etc. But Titanfall has mainstream written all over it. I bet MS/EA did some heavy marketing in the UK too.

Word of mouth was not as strong as the reviews (anecdotally at least) and it requires one to spend £399 to play a single game. Titanfall on the Bone was always going to run into this problem. A lot of day one purchasers and bundle buyers but not much in the way of legs because of the high entry cost.

Sooo, since MGS is higher than Titanfall

MGS PS4 - > 18,792
MGS PS3 - > 4,860
MGS One + 360 - > 8,748

Probably much more, this is just a minimum estimate

P.S. Since PS3 represents 15% of the overall package and One + 360 27%, I'd risk in saying One represented 14% and 360 13% XD

How did you get to 18k only for the PS4 version? It must be 30k at least.

Are people really shocked at that? You've had Kojima basically doing everything in his power to push people to the PS4 version. Not quite sure what he was trying to achieve.

That people would play the best version? While it probably had marketing and PR people nashing their teeth, as a creator, I would want people to play the best version possible. Kind of shows that Kojima can do as he pleases though.

Well, it's OK. Xbone was doing everything in its power to run the game in 720p.

*rimshot*

tip your waitresses!
 
I hope S-E consider that a successful debut for FFX HD and it leads to FFXII HD.

Infamous is the first full retail title I've bought on PSN, I hope Sony releases a WW figure for the title because I think its going to even more impressive than retail alone suggests.

IDK what to think of that start for MGS, its OK for what it is maybe. The ratio is a tad absurd, but bare in mind that the XBOne version is apparently fairly majorly inferior and it was well known before launch it would be second best.

Titanfall is online only in the same vein as Warhawk and MAG, no singleplayer may hurt it's broad appeal in at least getting people into the series initially.

xbone version outsold ps3 for mgs

pubs without nexy gen versions should be getting very edgy the more time passes


ffx vita made top 10 individual, pretty decent with the amount of new stuff in the last fewweeks

yeah..for the sake of MS I hope this is not the same story in the US. I would imagine they wanted a better result than this from the game. I mean I don't think there are any noteworthy exclusives for the system for a long time to come either

He was really only pushing the PS4 version over others in Japan because it was going to be the only current gen version available. And the last big multiplatform release saw a healthy split toward the PS4 version as well. Thief sold between 24-28k on the PS4 compared to 15-18k on the Xbox One.
 
you might call this slight hyperbole but i'm just gonna put this out there for discussion purposes

I know its only one country but with those MGS Ground Zeroes sales, Konami could be thinking whether its financially viable for xbox ports

only 27% of sales were on xbox platforms, so thats a split between 360 and the XO. Thats gotta be close to considering it.

I agree, people underestimate the appeal of a SP campaign. But on the other hand, this is the most hyped game since E3 last year. It had a lot going for it. I'm sure it will do better in the NA, but not sure how much better.

By the time Phantom Pain rolls around, I would expect more XBox Ones to be out there, so I'm sure it will still be viable. Especially since they've already got work on it.

America probably makes it viable too, even with PS4 still being the top dog.

I didn't realise Kojima had such a big influence on the UK public's purchasing decisions.

I think it will be worse in the US because TF in the UK was coupled with a price cut from £429 to £399, that alone will have pushed a lot of new sales. Without that extra money off it is difficult to see the US being better than the UK. The marketing spend for TF has also been huge.

Well, many retailers (Wallmart+BB+Amazon) are selling Titanfall bundle for $450.
 
Not remotely shocked at inFamous rocking it. I think the higher current gen sales on cross gen games is very telling. How viable will it be in a year to release a game like TPP on last gen as well?

Nope, learned my lesson with P4G. Can't dig JRPGs.

My Vita is perfectly content, I bought it Luftrausers and Steamworld Dig last week :)
Click to expand...

I would never want any person to play P4G.. who ever tricked you into buying that must be a PR person...

But Luftrausers is a Solid purchase.. perfect fit for a game in you pocket.! but FFX HD is even better.. ;o)
 
Great start for inFAMOUS. Beat it Saturday and might start the evil route today. Ground Zeroes at number 2 is sad though, I'm not buying it until it's $10.

Pandering to his fanbase, which is mostly on Sony platforms. Kojima is not going to throw them under a bus for parity sakes.

The PS4 version is the best version of his game-- why wouldn't he push that?

Are you saying people were considering the PS3 or 360 version but Kojima pushed them to get the PS4 version instead? I'm not convinced.
