did u guys get something cool if bloodborne was below 300k?

Yeah, Welfare and Chobel got some badass Bloodborne Crow.

Chobel should wear it for 2 NPD months for copping out.

First 3 months of 2015 vs First 3 months of 2014.

Nintendo Wii U is up ~20%
Xbox One is down ~7%
PlayStation 4 is down ~4%



True dat.

Wait til we align WiiU YoY with the Mario Kart Launch (and really several months after that). That 20% will disapear rather quick.

Actually speaking of the holiday season.

Lets talk worldwide here.

Sony sold through 4.1 million PlayStation 4's to end users between November 23rd 2014 and January 4th 2015.

The PS2 during its first holiday season in 2001 sold through more than 5.3 million units worldwide between November 26th 2001 and January 6th 2002.

The PS3 during its first holiday season (2007) sold 1.5 million in the USA + Japan (No EU numbers) and during its second holiday season sold 2.2 million units worldwide from November 23rd through to December 29th 2008.

Wii U is dead?

It is very much alive.

Welp, looks like the PS4 declined month over month, so much for Bloodborne being a system seller I guess, lol. But Bloodborne bombing shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone outside the Sony-GAF echo chamber.

The game is full of cheap design. I played the game at a friend's house, and the very first enemy will two-shot you really easily. To add insult to injury, you deal like two damage per attack you do. You have to hit him like 50 times to kill him. Make just one mistake and you will have to sit through a minute long loading screen before having to start from scratch again. I tried like 40 times before deciding that life is too short. I guess padding your game with artificial difficulty makes sense when you are selling your game to a games-starved user base but it's not my cup of tea.

Also, dat loading screen. I have no idea what they were thinking. Maybe they were afraid that PS4 owners wouldn't know how to handle actually playing a game for more than 50 % of any given period of time?

I watched my friend play for a while. Apparently you level up by getting a blowjob from a sex doll? How did anyone think a game like this would sell. Also, the guns seem to be bugged. They do pretty much no damage :/

To further worsen the terrible launch month, the game will have horrible legs. I bet not even 5 % of players could get past the first boss. Gamestop is likely LITERALLY swimming in trade-ins by now.

Also, it's going to be interesting to see how Sony-GAF reacts when the Web of Lies spun by Shu the Vicious Lier is torn down and the Steam and The One versions will be visible to the world, ready to pounce at the ponies and incite frenzy into their minds and souls.

 

[Bastables]

That would be kinda cheating.

welcheing is also considered "not on" in the etiquette of betting, and here we are.

At least a nacho hat would keep to the letter if not the intent of your "eat my hat" declaration.

 

[thebloo]

Do we know if MS is going for the AssCreed marketing this time around?

Ubi got the deal of a lifetime out of it, and if MS is willing to do something like that again I am sure they wont object.

They were two "desperate" entities lucky to have each other. But this year should be different. Ubi would probably prefer to market to the bigger base and MS already has their own games lined up.

The Wii U lives inside all of us.

It is very much alive.

Why have you not made a plot showing the potential exponential growth of the WiiU going forward? Its obvious that at this rate, the PS4 and X1 will collapse and the WiiU will soon experience unprecedented Y^|X| growth! Its just been bidding its time!

Here, just throw this into mathematica! By my calculations, the WiiU is only bidding its time...

Plot[1.05^Abs[z], {z, 0, 1000}, PlotRange -> {{0, 150}, {0, 400}}]

My uncle owns a video game shop called the bloodborne hut and he said you're wrong

 

[Amir0x]

One can hope that the people who were interested in the game and didn't buy it will be there for the PS4 version later this summer. Media Molecule appears to have put a ton of work into it, and the hot streak the PS4 has been on should be conducive to a much better lifespan for the title. I hope so, since Tearaway is by far the best thing Media Molecule has done, and I really hope that they do more with 3D gameplay in the future.

My only issue is that the PS4 version can in no way duplicate what the Vita version achieved. I'm interested in it, but a lot of the charm would be lost in translation without some very clever PS4-related stuff to fill in the gap.

Pffft, hah hah, man, I did not see that coming. Nice job Activision, you complete bastards.
Wonder if anything this year will have a similar effect, or advertising spend.

$299 price point and MGS5 branding-exclusivity is going to make September an *enormous* month for PS4.

 

[anexanhume]

Why do people think PS4 will skip $350 and drop right to $300?

 

[Man]

The PS4 hardware has been profitable since launch (the launch months included 1x game sale in that calculation).

I think they'll skip 300 and drop right to 249.

 

[Boke1879]

Yes and PS4 was still burning off Holiday Demand at this point (I believe they finally met demand in march or april).

I do think PS4 will be down YoY unless there is a price drop. I just dont see it getting anything close to a 575k September like Destiny got them.

The next big month for PS4 will be in June imo. Batman AK bundle should put it over 400k

First 3 months of 2015 vs First 3 months of 2014.

Nintendo Wii U is up ~20%
Xbox One is down ~7%
PlayStation 4 is down ~4%

PS4 hasn't had a price cut though so the fact that its down less than the XBO is pretty impressive. Why is the Wii U up though? Can't be Mario Party 10 can it?

You're supposed to die with that enemy and you can't kill him unless you get your weapon. It's not bad game design, its just not hand holding like we're used to.

I'm assuming the rest of your comment is a joke, right?

PS3

The PS4 hardware has been profitable since launch (the launch months included 1x game sale in that calculation).

PS3 dropped by a lot to stop the bleeding of marketshare. That's not an issue in this case, and we can't assume a $300 PS4 would be profitable. What should motivate Sony to take a loss on the box?
