360 2007 plus PS3 2008 = 456k * 1.5 = 684k

That's why I was asking if that's what the statement meant.

Well it mentions 17 montbe cumulative total right?

That's just one month sales.

Its saying that the first 17 months of PS3+360 sales combined + more than 50% = PS4+One first 17 months sales combined.
 
I'd like to know what Hardline and Bloodborne's sales were in hard numbers.

Bloodborne at #2 is massive though, can't believe a new IP, a Souls game at that, put up that kind of performance. Bring on DLC and a sequel please!

Good for Bloodborne. Nice to see something like that sell. Mario Party surprises me. I guess that's why Nintendo continues to pump those out. Wii U and 3DS are slightly lower than I had hoped, but not bad overall. Not sure if that Final Fantasy placement is good or not.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that one. Was Borderlands THC $60?

Yep.

2 shooters combined for $60 vs a PSP remaster for $60.

That should not be a surprise.

2 remasters of co-op shooters combined that have been out for awhile vs a game that never made it west in the first place and as such is more or less a new game to western audiences with a demo on square's main franchise. Besides, there's only one shooter above borderlands.

lol @ The Order dropping out of the top ten so fast. Sony has to be seriously wondering whether or not they should invest in a sequel.

Only the biggest AAA titles stay in the top ten for more than one month. Certainly not a new-IP, single player game that was lambasted critically.

He not lost yet.

Hasn't yet, Has a range from 272K > x <461K... some wiggle room :p

Oops. Move each year up one.



I'm waiting for cream to determine that I lost.

Ok I jumped the gun a bit. Looks like crows were already prepared in the prediction thread though...

Pick your poison

To be honest, how much more would a game like Mario Party 10 have sold with online multiplayer, or other things that would make it a better game.

I think they were just like, "we can give about this much effort and stil probably eke out a million seller or more on a dead console. So...."

Eh, I think it's more so that it's not a full blown, mainline Final Fantasy than the brand not being as strong. Plus Type-0 wasn't even advertised a lot compared to a mainline FF. And it's a port of a PSP game.

It's a FF game that never made it outside Japan before, on systems starve for RPGs, with the first playable demo of the next mainline, next-gen FF.

The franchise name alone should have carried it higher. And it's a sign of the decline of that franchise in the West that it didn't.

It's a shame Hardline is number one, but expected. The most generic shooter of the year award winner. And I thought Evolve was bleh.

Looking back at it, I'm surprised more people aren't more surprised at Mario Party 10.
Userbase way smaller, series in decline, and yet 4th in the top 10. Arguably more impressive than Bloodborne in the end.

It's very surprising, better than Mario Party 9 launch.
 
Good for Bloodborne, poor Type 0 appears to be selling below expectations.

3DS doing ok for a mature handheld. Wii U not doing as bad as before, in a way its a shame that Mario Party 10 will end up selling more than other better quality titles on the system, but at least something is selling on it.

Everything mario on it sells but not other games even if its a lot better. Nintendo made people to think their system is about Mario, Zelda and Pokemon system. These games or any games with characters from them will sell a lot better other games regardless of quality.
