EA on Nintendo hardware, that's a good one!
Just following them on Wii was reason enough to never expect anything more from them.
But yeah it would have been a good match, it's actually surprising there's not more games of this kind on...well pretty much all platforms.
I guess publishers prefer to chase high value customers and bleed them rather than go for a broader market :/
I sound like a broken record, it's been more than 5 years that I feel like I'm saying the same thing.
also good thing for Splatoon, hopefully it becomes an evergreen.

Helps when 3 of those 4 games were delayed from 2014.

Playstation doing that work. Huge loss in market share for MS this generation, absolutely damning.
Also impressive is the fact the the Bone is cheaper, more deals, more games being given for free, while Sonys bundles I believe (Arkham Knight) go up in price. Profit differentials are off the chain.

It seems right for me to read that most (probably all) of the hardware growth YOY is from Xbox One.
PS4 is actually probably down YOY
PS4 is actually probably down YOY
Weren't people saying that the Xbox One is doing worse than the 360 on the same time scale?
stay fresh out there yall
ummmm, no? can you point out some examples because I'm not sure they actually exist. even the most optimistic sales estimates for splatoon have already been surpassed
You were talking about may npd thread right? The first three pages were of people talking about it having amazing sales without any numbers to back them up. Then we discovered it only sold around 135k.
Really because I recall some predicted at least 2 million WW in one if the PAL threads. Can we stop pretending everyone said the game was going to bomb.
Excellent point. I feel like the level of decent conversations in these threads is a bell curve.
So you think Xbox 360 and PS3 are up?
No...?
You know whats an even better and relevant statistic?
Actually winning the month.
And Asia, And Japan. And South America.
...Basically everywhere but the US and maybe the UK.

Splatoon is showing good legs in the US just like in Japan. I wonder how long until the game hits 2 million worldwide.

So what is 3DS/Wii U hardware really at?
PS4 sold 269k last year and sold more than Xbox One this month, so it's up YoY
It means less people buying PS4s which lead to Xbox One selling more that week.
Not sure what's difficult in understanding that.

Then X1 would have outsold it.
Zhuge, can you graph monthly sales comparison between the two for this year? I'm curious to see the velocity of each
Ah, so they were bs'ing, my bad. Good thing for the One, then.
Devil's Third was being dropped because it was bad and had no hype.
Fishing for compliments?

Where did you get your numbers?

RotW, but yes, it's doing very well in the US. It should be at least somewhat close in the US for some time.
I believe the XB1 currently has the same percentage of current gen console sales in the US as the 360 did for most of its gen thanks to the huge drop that Nintendo took. That fact also shows that MS could have been even more dominant in the US this gen though (in comparison to 360).
Missed opportunity.
It does affect the Xbone's sales relative to the other consoles, which is what that stat is talking about

Half of PS4's WW sales doesn't bode well for a platform where most of those sales are from two countries.
And the rest of Asia. But at least they have New Zealand locked down.+ Japan, China
I meant the sales of its launch month

Are people reading the full quote or no?
Less people buying a PS4 would not affect that statistic.

Perhaps in Europe, but never in North America, no.

Or Wii U. That Wii U + 3DS line sounds suspicious.

Yay for Splatoon staying in the top 5! Batman at number one of course, no surprise.

No. I guess I'm assuming that PS3 and Xbox 350 YOY is either flat or slightly down. Maybe doesn't hold true. But it says hardware is up 8% YOY. That is dollars IIRC.
Xbox One is up 51% in units. And it probably has had about a $50 avg price reduction from this time last year. Down from $400 to $350. So it dropped 12.5% in avg price while increasing units by 51%.
Guess we need PS3 and Xbox 360 to finish the equation
