Fun fact: the PS4 + X1 + Wii U for Dec will most likely be less than just the Wii total from Dec 2009 (3.8 million)

Am I missing something for WiiU? It did 500K last year, correct? Why the predictions for 50%+ drops?

580k* for be correct.

It sold 580,000 in December 2014, 480,000 in December 2013, and 460,000 in December 2012.

Rainbow over Just Cause? I don't think so honestly, but should be a good battle, probabily close we'll see.

And $50 GC at Wal-Mart for the whole month making it effectively $150, and it was the first December since launch when it was readily available on store shelves. Iwata made a comment that it sold 3 million in December, everyone predicted ~3m, and then it blew up with 3.8m. What a month. :lol

I'm expecting both to be close in terms of sales (bottom 5 will be very close to each, I imagine), but Just Cause 3 doing worse because of technical issues.

Also Vegas 2 did well, and granted that was back in 2008, but I think with the long ass break, Siege should do well off of the brand.

What did PS4 and X1 do last December? Also, does anyone know what was the total gap X1 made up last November and December? It will be (you already know) to see what soft of total gap the PS4 will have with X1 across this November and December.

Gap is around 1.1 million last november

2016 will be an interesting™ year.

...Basically, i only give about NX and how PS4 / XB1 will sell compared to 2015.

Happy new year to all.

There will be so much to look, predict and discuss for.
NX
Xbox vs PS
VR
MS strategy about Xbox and W10-apps (incl. MAU)
And, not to forget, the year where this gen will finally pump out games en masse.
It will be epic.

Wait..... Noobie is that you 0_o


[PS4] 1650k
[XB1] 1265k
[3DS] 660k
[WIIU] 395k

EDIT: (Added my observation from Gamestop )From what I've been observing in my store (Gamestop employee) the XB1 has some serious compitition with the PS4, we have a sale that's been going on almost since last week where you can purchase a pre owned Xbox one for $249.99 500GB or 1TB and folks still chose the $381.05 PS4 over the lower priced Xbox one I've even seen customers get the PS4 over the Xbox one when it was priced at $299 also a couple of games that's been selling gangbusters has been R6S, FALLOUT4 (Still), BLACKOPS 3 especially with the ps4 bundle, just cause 3 , & GTA5

Figured this is America. First person, guns n stuff. Anyways, it's early. My numbers will look completely different from day to day.

Will probably look at UK charts to see how they did there. That's where most of my software choices come from. x4 is usually a reliable multiplier.

I dont think so. I think Rainbow is gonna be a rather nice number

Edit - Though Ubi expects 7 million which is a little extreme. So this may end up a TR Reboot situation. Solid sales numbers themselves but dissapointing to the publisher

If it's doing so poorly that a price drop is needed to clear inventory then the last thing you'd want to do is buy one as support will start drying up.

You want it to do so well that Microsoft wants to drop the price to encourage even more sales, like Sony did with the PS4 this year.

You want a healthy platform if you're going to invest in it. Not a failing one.

I really only want it for a few games, everything else will come to PS4 (which I already have). Im not really thinking thinking long term as a result.

Also, isnt that the exact opposite of whats happened with the xbox so far?

Wouldn't be surprised that PS4 being back at 350 dollars is a calculated move by Sony and EA to get every last dollar from the Star Wars bundles that people were apparently buying up after they saw the movie. Once that dries up I suspect we'll be back at 299.99.
Click to expand...

Well, looks like PS4 is still selling well at 349$. So, i doubt that Sony will cut the price to 299$. Of course that sales will be slow in January for PS4. January are always slow month for sales.
Abdiel said:
I'm at work so this will be short, but I'm pretty comfortable in my statement that the ps4 won for best buy this month. The extra time with the xb1 at the lower price didn't make much difference, as I said in other threads. Serious difference in momentum and the push behind their respective products. Also, star wars killed it.

Great month. I'm glad it's over. I survived another year. Fuck the holidays man. Haha.

Do you still have Rise Of The Tomb Taider bundles? Did you sold any of them?

And how many times has it been correct?
Click to expand...
What are you talking about? Sorry, it has been wrong once since the start of this generation. Thanks gravity for the correction. I think the other time, people assumed the month was going to be closer than it actually was based off of the monthly chart for amazon. NPD however provided a completely different story. It might have been November 2014.
