Slim is cheaper to make.
Why so serious? I'm enjoying his nonsense.

We'll know tomorrow if PS4 sales for Q3.
Anyway, Capcom's CEO recently said that PS4 has apparently reached 50 million units, so let's see if that's true or not.

Honestly, don't you get tired of posting this stuff?
Didn't they still quote the 40 million number last month? If they reached 50 I'm sure they would've said it
Where is that noobie clock?
43.5 mil. shipped by end of June 2016.

This is Capcom CEO saying it, not Sony. Sony is sticking to its official 40 million number, which I imagine they'll update tomorrow come their quarterly earnings.

$20 Titanfall campaign will be a reality sooner rather than later. Silver linings and all that.
Still, then selling 6 million consoles during the dry summer and with the slimming lighting anything in fire seems like a stretch. I'll be over that after the holidays of course

Could you explain? I didn't feel as an Xbox gamer that I was pushed away in anyway with TF2.

show me on the ps4 disc where you were touched
He pushed us away by inviting those dirty, filthy, poor PS4 lovers./s Why can't love my console of choice more than the competition?
It touched me on my anus.

I... lowballed my prediction but didn't actually think TF2 would do this bad. Wow, that really sucks for Respawn and TF2 fans.
Wow. Did not expect Xbox S to make that much of a difference.

I'm surprised to see Xbone beating PS4 both in the UK and the US month to month. Do we have a solid reason why this is happening? Xbone S hype/price? People waiting for Pro? PS4 saturation point?

I foresee Sony being under their estimates and a 10-20+ thread of nonsense about that.
I'd say Pro and price.
It is funny because some on Gaf were saying it would be the other way around - Slim would be the pusher and Pro would flop.
Holy hell! Did not know it was this bad, assumed we were exaggerating.

This. Let's release Titanfall 2 (a FPS) in-between the release dates of two giants in the FPS genre, Battlefield and Call of Duty.
Hey EA, people also like to play FPS games in months not in October to December.

All of the above + unappealing Slim offerings compared to XB1S.
Sony's Slim bundles that are competitive with MS's offerings are all next month (FFXV bundle, CoD bundle, Watch Dogs 2 bundle)
With only Uncharted 4 bundle, it's not a match against [FIFA, Madden, Minecraft, BF1, Gears4 and Halo MCC + Halo 5] bundles.
Most likely combination of:
Pricing bundles
Higher percentage of double dipping (the XB Slim is a much better upgrade than PS4 Slim)
PS4 owners waiting for Pro to upgrade to and passing on Slim
I expect Pro to give lead back to Sony when it launches but MS have enjoyed nice boost from Slim irrespective. Not enough to trouble Sonys lead in any meaningful way of course but still decent.

It did extremely well, by far the second best-selling remaster comfortably surpassing 100,000 sales.
[Week 24, 2015] THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE (BETHESDA SOFTWORKS) > 114,500 / NEW
[Week 43, 2016] BATTLEFIELD 1 (ELECTRONIC ARTS) - 158,000 / 417,000 (-39%)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition sold between 115,000 and 158,000 units.
It's way worse than the numbers you quoted.
IMO Xbox One S is better value than PS4 Slim. You can play all the top games PS4 has this Christmas + some big exclusives like Gears and Forza. Pro will sell alot to hardcore, will be interesting to see if casuals treat it the same. I don't think many are avoiding buying a Slim for Pro though, most that want it own a ps4 and were never going to buy a Slim as the benefits isn't there. Unlike the Xbox S, where there's enough included to replace your old X1.

How much is the X1S selling for in UK and US? The PS4 Slim?

Thank you! Also a Friday release, so Titanflop 2 just performed that much worse.
Partially true. Most successful FPS games come out during the holiday season. You would be hard pressed to find more than 5 successful FPS games released in the spring.
Skyrim did really well for a remaster. Bruno what were the Witcher 3 first week numbers? I remember them being ~180k.
I said damn, with little to no marketing the game still dominated.
I swear there's an interview with Zampella or somebody from EA who's in charge that says the release date was set due to contractual obligations to a platform partner. That would be MS the, wouldn't it, and the motivation would be to fight CoD? Can't find it though because it hard to google for it.

I just realized that the PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online was released a year before, which means that GfK Chart-Track might have take only into consideration that first release instead of 2015 launch for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. To complicate things when the console version was released it was treated as a new entry, not belonging to the 2014 PC SKU. So I don't have a way to know whether GfK Chart-Track includes the console version first week sales or not in their comparison launch to other titles from the same franchise. At the very least we can be sure that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition sold over 75,000 which is what The Elder Scrolls IV did in its launch. Next week we may have a more accurate range of sales.
You remember well (175,000).

What did he do specifically?
I'm not entirely surprised, given that MS talked up the first game for months and pushed it like a first-party release.
Nightengale
Member
Pushed it like Halo, you mean.
The marketing and rallying cry behind Titanfall was unreal.
A rare "Sony is Doomed" post from noobie.

That is a fantastic performance for Skyrim and A GREAT hold for Battlefield 1
The TF2 numbers are eerily reminiscent of The Order 1886.

Damn I knew it would underperform but those numbers are just awful.
He's so positive and vocal the 99% of the time they're doing really well too.

i hope for the holidays TF2 sells well, maybe a lot of folks decided to go with COD/BF first then for the holidays they were going to get TF. after all the positive news of its SP it is the first one ill get in the holidays of the big shooters this year, then im gonna wait for the pro version of both COD and BF on sale to get those next year

Haven't you heard ? Ms is doubling down on vr now too , so it's probably a great product all of a sudden huh? Maybe stealth edit your post before "they" see how disloyal you are

Busy eating crow :/
BTW Titanfall was released on march 14 2014, so also Friday.

EDIT: Jesus Fucking Christ! Titanfall is actually at ~31K
Weirdly enough I know from a friend that that tweet wasn't actually paid marketing...
Skyrim is just that popular that Domino's wanted to ride on the back of the SE release.

btw I've never played TF before this weekend and I think it should be said for those who enjoy mp games that it runs great, like really great, on ps4.
I had 49ms or better ping all night on Saturday. That alone makes it my number one FPS of this gen. absolutely destroys every other fps this entire gen in that respect. for someone who plays mp fps quite a bit, its one of the most important aspects. despite the fact its also very fun.
