Have you guys seen this? From the gamespot link
Attach Rate of 3 games per plataform, nice.

exclusive timed DLC =/= a timed exclusive ENTIRE FUCKING GAME
Microsoft is launching the XB1 in China and over a dozen new key markets soon. The 2:1 ratio will vanish relatively quickly.
Guys, don't you see?!? Everything is the same! These two things are totally identical!Yeah. Look how things worked out for Respawn. Those guys are fucked right now. If only they'd listened to the armchair CEOs here. :/
In a game with only 4 plants and 1 area per planet, where you can run entire area in 2 hours (story + strikes) one extra strike kinda make a big deal. At it's core it's same anyway, platform holder pay cash to take content away from competitor. It's just that MSFT has much more money. If Sony would have more money, instead of timed exclusive indie projects I bet we would see much more 3rd party AAA titles. But they don't have enough money so they can only afford DLC.

I am sure if I check your post history, I won't find anything like that when Destiny exclusive content was announced for PS4. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Sssh sssh child, it's alright. Save your strength.The strategic momentum starting with all the 180's since before Spencer took over and ending with a powerful 2014 holiday season for the Xbox brand.
Congrats to Sony, but I'm honestly kind of disappointed that the PS4 alone is selling so well. It still seems to me that while it's a fairly well thought-out console, it's nothing really special or unique about it. It's just very safe, which makes sense for Sony after the PS3. The 360 brought online interactions forward in a huge way, the Wii introduced a new control mechanism that caught on fire, etc. The PS4 is basically the market embracing "just do the same stuff as always + graphics/power!" I realize that both Nintendo & Microsoft completely fell flat on their face out of the gate, but at least they were trying to push the market forward in some way, even if both approaches were fairly misguided. I honestly feel like their mistakes is probably a huge contributor to PS4 sales. I'm happy that there's a good bit of demand for traditional games in the ROTW though.'
No, it's not. It's just one strike mission. Comparing it to a whole game is utterly ridiculous. Would rather Destiny not come at all the X1? Would that be the same as loosing that one strike mission?
Oh, my bad, I thought we were still talking about sell through. My argument was that since the Wii was selling out within days of shipments arriving, that since they shipped 11m+ in the same time frame the install base has already crossed streams.
For me - yes, if I was Xbox only gamer I would feel left out, since I pay same for game and season pass, yet PS4 gamers get more. Especially with how little "story" content there is according to rumors.
In fact it actually tricked me to buy PS4 version instead of Xbox One version. If Sony can do that, why MS can't? It's same as complaining why Dead Rising 3 is not coming out on PS4 even though it's now releasing on PC.
Apples and Oranges.
nice false equivalence there

/dead, then resurrected just to /dead again.
Square Enix! I hope you enjoy the 15 million milestone when it's announced before your game comes out, note, without a year or so headstart.
Expected, but still amazing (see comparison Aquamarine made with Wii shipments).
I think 20 million by the end of the year is crazy, so I'm guessing for about 17-18 million.
Anyway, Sony, give us a press release with software sales as well, pls.
Indeed, it's more impressive if you consider PS4 is comatose in Japan:
Wii U shipments by June 30 2007:
Japan: 2.95 million
Outside Japan: 6.32 million
PS4 sales to consumers by August 12(?) 2014:
Japan: 0.65 million
Outside Japan: over 9.35 million
Wii U shipments by September 30 2007:
Japan: 3.67 million
Outside Japan: 9.5 million

That's a rapidly changing strategy in response to a poor market reception, not momentum.

They're similar enough.
People were feigning concern for Respawn and their grave mistake of going exclusive to the XB1. It seems to have worked out just fine for them, with the team expanding, etc.
Now we've got people feigning concern for Crystal Dynamics, and the grave mistake Square has made going exclusive to the XB1.
I'm already looking forward to a full 18 months of concern posts regarding TR.
MS funded DR3, no one has an issue with that. They moneyhatted TR, that's the issue.
15 million? By the time TR is out late 2015, the PS4 will probably be closing in on 30 million. Sony will hit 15 million before the year ends.

They promised greatness... where is it?
I'm feeling pretty stupid right now, lol; what's the joke?
That it looks terrible (the shitty rain and campfire) because it's going to be on the less powerful platform?
no it's just that lara is sad in the rain

MLB the show
But the pic's altered, right? The fire/rain don't look that bad in the game, do they? lol
Activision at Gamescom just stated that PS4 is leading platform for Destiny preorders.
EB is one of my favorite games in existence (not brown nosing) :T

15-18mil in one year?Well deserved success. 10 millino is an amazing achivement. They can now easily aim at 15-18mil before Dec31.
Xbox One will be Number One in Sales*thread bookmarked for future crow-serving purposes, on the level of the GOTG one*

12M by Sep 30, possibly more (Destiny, white PS4)
8M after that, in the biggest season of the year. PS3 had 5M in its first full holiday season and often sold ~6.5M in this Q and PS4 is way more popular.
