Wait, so almost 2mil for STBF... let's say 500k are PS4 sales. Which is probably close to the real numbers (maybe even more). How come there are usually only 70k or 80k people playing :|

Game is mad fun, ffs

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

I'm so happy for sony, they went all out with the PS4 hardware, compared to the competition, best console by far, and they have the most appealing exclusives for me. Wiiu at only 250k, what happened to best selling console at target, I guess there games are not that popular in the west.

Absolutely love tomb raider, but I didn't buy my Xbox one for tomb raider. I'll wait for the PC version, which is where I purchased the other version. I hope this doesn't affect future copies

MS should definitely change Halo's release window. Makes no sense to put it up with 3rd party big boys.


Congrats to both MS and Sony!

Feel bad for Crystal Dynamics but SE had to know this was coming. Terrible strategy.

Seems like a good product thought and I'll likely be picking up the PC version when its released.

I hope SE got enough money to make it worthwhile. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to this series because a good product was set up to fail.

You forgot the /s. That's a dangerous thing to do in an NPD thread, because without it people might think this is just clueless shitposting.

Whoa there. it took them 2+ years to reach 30, they would have to sell a decent amount WW above this year multiple years in a row to reach 100 million in the next 3 years or even be near it.

Remember it took the Xbox 360 and PS4 around 8 years to reach around 90. I know both consoles are selling better, but both consoles were also heavier in the front loading department. We also know that AR and VR are coming in too expensive to change the game and add life, such as what Kinect and to a lesser Extend Move and Wonderbook did for 360 and PS4 sales respectively. Without something to add on to their lives t seems unlikely any will be at 80 let alone 100 million.

Even going up till end of life, because already both consoles have only one SKU, they likely won't have something that will boost their life spans by a great amount, they also are already being sold at pretty cheap prices. While last gen even with multiple Sku's they all got cuts or replaces with similar or a cheaper model, and price cuts did quite a bit in extending the Life of the 360 and PS4. i am afraid the current price wars will remove that benefit for the PS4 and Xbox one. Or in some countries, price war plus bundles filled with incentives.

If the PS4 is to reach 100 million it's got to either have so many games reaching double the output and grabbing tons of exclusive deals, which won't happen because Xbox one is still sell relatively close and well and brinign in tons of money sans japanese developers, or it needs something to boost people interests in the consoles like Kinect or move etc. Which won't LIKELY be VR at the price announced/rumored about.

Ps4 is gonna smash 100 milion, in fact 150m more likely at this point.

Next year will be the biggest year ever for PlayStation and you can´t do nothing about it.

"Aaron Greenberg @aarongreenberg
Congrats to my friends over @PlayStation on great NPD sales in Nov, gamers bought over 3M #XboxOne & #PS4 consoles in one month. Wow!"

Wait, what? This can't be right. That would put sales at like 1600k and 1400k .... can't be that high can it?

It's very possible, unless he just didn't include WiiU due to text limits or something, or sales are higher than we thought for xb1/ps4.

Releasing it in March isn't going to magically make it sell more. It may chart higher, for longer, but that's ultimately a hollow achievement.

Xbox isn't at 1.4, I believe someone said it did roughly the same as last year.

Not sure what that was - 1.2?


Edit: I see zhuge said gap of 200k so yeah I guess 1.6 and 1.4 is right. Incredible

You're trying really hard to downplay the possibility, when all evidence seems to be suggesting that's going to end up happening. Also keep in mind these systems are just entering their 3rd year. Years 3 and 4 are traditionally where the bulk of sales come from; it's not unrealistic to expect PS4 to sell around 25-30 million for 2016, which is about as much as the system has sold in its first two combined.

And the funny thing about the front-loaded thing is, it isn't even substantial evidence of a severe contraction in sales for either system. Now the XBO could see a LTD limited to 60-70 million sure, but PS2 has much better circumstances going for it than PS3 ever did, which still managed around 85-90 million WW (maybe more than that actually, granted in a longer-than-average gen but still...).

At the very least, it will cross the 100 million line within the next 3 - 3 1/2 years. It probably won't hit PS2's numbers, but it can realistically do around 115-125 million at the pace things are going so far (probably at the lower end of that for 5-6 years. People tend to forget PS2 got to 155 million in 2009, nine years after its launch, not 2005).

Pretty sure Rocket League developers are more happy with Sony than Square to Microsoft.

Also sure more people is playing RL on PS4 than Rise of TR on Xbone.
