It's not, really. Remember how they reiterated shipped as of September 13.5 million PS4s on its anniversary instead of giving us an actual LTD update.
One would assume releasing LTD figures are determined by the global team, not SCEA.
Scream Ride and Ori are all they have this quarter.

WOPE!My 150gb data cap will wrap around it soon enough.
PS4 doing well as expected. XB1 is lower as usual. Wii U is up, and seeing how it's Wii U any good news is welcome. Hopefully it can outdo 2014 somehow. Guess we'll find out come May. Come February, we'll see how the 3DS holds off. It could be a good indicator for how healthy handheld sales can be in the west.
I'm starting to think it'll only be the second best selling game in February featuring monsters, by a good distance from the first in this special cathegory.
No, what I am saying is that an xbox one at 350 with no added incentives is not a better value for most people. So now its back to losing. It did better because it was getting around 2-4 games bundled with with gift cards for 350.
Well considering you got 2-3 games for just buying a console during holidays. How does that count towards attach rate?

Agreed. The cupboard is getting a bit barren in terms of games left to launch. Zelda will love a few consoles, but honestly what move did they have left to drive sales?

Software sales seem better on XBO.
So do you consider the PS4 being given away now that it comes with a 10 dollar PSN card, a free copy of TLOU and for the better part of the year so far it's come with another free game or year of PS+ at Amazon?
Well they'll have third party games, but in terms of first party exclusives, yes, that's it.

ps4 back on top
Splatoon. Part of me hopes this becomes a worldwide sleeper-hit. Somehow.
Everything else on their list can only target Nintendo fans, so I don't think there will be much HW growth...

What are you talking about? Also, why is there this idea that only system sellers of the past sell well now? You guys act like other series can't have suddenly popular iterations (like FE did for the 3DS) or that the new IPs won't have any effect whatsoever
That's sort of where I am, but there is a critical mass of software now where I think buying the console is worth it (not like it wasn't worth it before, but still). It'll probably be down in 2015, though, because Smash and Mario Kart are system sellers, and there's a while until Zelda. Unless we're surprised with a new Mario at E3, but the timetable on that would be wonky.

My mind is blown by the third eye or Prince...backed by MTUME. Now it makes sense that all things are back to the way they were.

No, that's just competition at $400.
His excuses will only get more entertaining as this gen rolls on.
Be prepared to see MS push third party games like Borderlands, Battlefield, and Dark Souls 2 really hard. They've got nothing else but smaller digital titles for the foreseeable future. Whoever plans their release schedule obviously thinks very little about the first half of the year.
Sony has battlefield marketing, maybe dark souls, but I am not sure about that one.
Sony has a marketing deal with EA about BF:H
Do you live in the US? I would have been dumb to buy an xbox for more than 299 in november and december last year, with some deals going as low as 270 with gift cards. And most deals had multiple bundled games. I assume that's what the person you responded to was talking about, not the 350 pricecut from january which you referenced.

But in January they sold fuck all consoles but most multiplats still sold more on One. Obviously while there aren't a lot of Xbox One owners out there, the ones that exist buy shit tonnes of games.

Last year people were saying a lot of stuff like consoles were dying etc etc .
Still X1 did okay for the year and PS4 became second fastest selling console of all time.
Best to wait on these things .
For shame, KongmingEX. You need to add a massive red portion of both X1+X360 sales.

As expected, Nintendo's PR is noncommittal.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has some good things going for it (New 3DS XL launch, New 3DS XL bundle, great reception), but I don't think it can compare to the marketing budget of EVOLvE.
Marry me....
Why would it matter? That game came out months ago. Unless by Dark Souls you mean Bloodborne, and I'm sure Sony would like for MS to front the marketing bill for them on that
He means Dark Souls 2, releasing on PS4 and Xbox One soon.

Very happy for Dying Light, as it's a great game. Hopefully this means the beginning of a franchise.

I agree it wouldn't matter at all, I was just replying to someone about which games were possibly being marketed for ps4.
Evolve is dropping very fast on Amazon.com, though, and either SKU reached very high ranks either (IIIRC, the best the PS4 SKU could do was 16th, now see where they both are).

This is my take. You'd think that multiplayer ecosystem would be more well-destributed or PS4-leaning, but no; the One's tie-in is stronk.
