No we won't because a lot of games that were once exclusive now also come out on Xbox
So to think we will ever see that again is a little bit of a dream

Probably true but they are doing amazingly well with multiplats so the mass market won't care. We got bloodborne at least and there's plenty of opportunities in the future.

I don't know how you could possibly think The Order has nearly as much hype surrounding it compared to a mainline Street Fighter game. The Order 2 will be a pebble in an ocean in comparison to the launch of SFV.
You should talk to some people from the FGC

SF is easily a bigger property with a huge legacy, SFV is easily of a higher profile than The Order.

Hey, if it turns out I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it. It's not like I'm personally invested in either game.
Sales-wise alone the statement is ridiculous.
The Order might not of even sold enough to get a sequel.

Wow. Wowowowow.

There's missing games there.
Exactly which is why his equivocation between the two and how that would reflect on potential sales was straight up batshit.
I don't how you still think this is an "if" situation. It's not. You are wrong. Flat out. There is no "ifs" about it.

The salt in these sales threads make them a joy to read.

That's mostly indies, remakes and artsy-fartsy bummers, but no real games. Don't count. Try harder.

I'm not talking about sales, only about the rather vague thing called "profile". It would be insane to suggest that an (at best) average selling game like The Order would beat SFV in terms of sales.

Just curious...whose in GAF have more than one PS4 in his home ?
I mean, this is a thread about the sales of the ps4. "Feel" and "hype" cannot be quantified or proven in any form and come out as hyperbole.
was it? i recall a lot of doubt clouds gathering around the game since the first gameplay reveal. mostly, people praised the visuals but were definitely reticent about the game as a whole, not just on gaf. it certainly isn't a title that ever struck me as "hyped to the moon and back", quite the contrary, people had to "defend it" before anything substantial regarding it was even out.
I've got about 2.5m.
That'd explain it.
I have unplayed games on PS4 already that could probably last me through the entire generation (thanks to Destiny) and the Xbox exclusives aren't so appealing that I feel I'm missing out. That said, I can understand that people are disappointed in the first party offerings so far. The message before the PS4 launch was that it's super easy to develop for, so I was surprised that there was still such an adjustment period for many developers apparently.
Anyway, I'm very happy with how the PS4 performs at home. The console is really nice to use and it even has some core features I haven't even tried.

The Order? Maybe when it was first revealed sure. But especially after the whole cinematic bars debacle, that game was constantly shit on.
It really wouldn't have mattered much. Xbox One would more than likely be at a better spot in U.S. and U.K. but last gen showed that PlayStation is simply the more popular brand as the PS3 caught up to 360 sales even though the PS3 had a far worse perception during the early part of the gen (on top of releasing one year after the 360).
I don't understand how anyone could have thought that MS could crush Sony worldwide as it never happened before. The gen was decided when it was known that the Xbox One would release during the same year as the PS4 (instead of getting a head start like the 360); So basically the moment when the PS4 event was announced before the Xbox One reveal.
Anyway, 30+ Million in such short amount of time is amazing and shows that people were anxious for a new console after how long the 360/PS3 gen went.
I got 10. 1 physical and 9 digital. /jk
1 PS4 and 2 Vita. I'd probably buy another once slim version launched
2 here. I've had mine since launch and my brother got the Battlefront bundle last week.

Comparison with PS2 is a bit misleading because PS2 had a Japan-only release period of about.. 12+ months? What are the reasonable predictions for PS4 lifetime sales? I'm curious as to where the PS4 will end up, but I'm expecting it won't be enormously more than PS3 numbers.

100 million seems very reasonable at this point assuming the price will continue to drop.

I had mines since Aug 14' and my bro just got one for Black Ops 3(also that SFV).

Just because it is not exclusive doesn't mean it doesn't count. Console war: list war logic makes no damn sense.

Far too LTTP, you have to be Sakujou or Aquamarine if you want that not-so elusive BINGO!

Nintendo is doing awful by any standard(10 million). Xbox is doing OK, but nothing to really be happy about(around 15 million).
I would say that it's safe to assume the Xbox One is around 16 Million.
Wii U hit 10 Million in July. I couldn't see the Wii U being above 13 million right now based on it sales (I may be wrong though).

No! It wasn't!
Dafuq am I reading? I mean I know I should expect it, but the SFV/Order comparison?
There was a lot of noise about The Order, but noise isn't hype.
A five million unit difference? I thought it was gonna be way wider. So that either means Wii-U is doing a lot better than expected, or Xbone's doing way worse.
nintendo's sold 10m wii us, and microsoft's probably around 16-17m xbox ones? it's hard to say since microsoft don't say nothin' to nobody.
wii u will probably wind up with about 12m-14m sold, and the xbox one about 40m-45m sold. ps4 should be anywhere between 100m and 115m. it all depends on what the competition is doing, whether or not any rapid changes happen to the marketplace, and how big 2016 will be though.
Wii U also launched a year earlier.

WiiU had one more year for that.
What was WiiU's numbers a year ago, launch aligned?
Damn...
I have a feeling the NX is going to struggle even selling half of what Xbox One is doing WW, let alone PS4.
Nintendo basically squandered nearly every bit of mindshare they had with the Wii-U generation of home consoles.
They still hold some sway among a minority of older gamers and the handheld market. But in terms of home consoles, when it has basically been absent from the market for the last two years in terms of mindshare, I don't think NX is going to be flying off shelves anytime soon no matter the hardware it's packing.
