Can't see EA not fast tracking Titanfall 2 for a 2015 release. Also don't think it's going to really push Xbones, since it's on pc/360. Second Son will probably push more PS4s than fall will X1s.

Figure the vita attach rate has to be great, because Sony would have dropped it by now if it wasn't. Still plan on buying one..

Can imagine heads are gonna roll at Nintendo :\

Dude, I didn't really want to go through the math again but if I have to. Lets do it your way.

Lets say COD had 2000000 total sales.

2000000 * .064 = 124000 (XB1)
2000000 * .074 = 148000 (PS4)

Now again, assuming the same attach rate

128000 is to 909000 as
148000 is to X

128000/909000 = 148000/X

Now solve for X

X = 1051

Follow the same math for any theoretical COD sales amount and you get the same answer.

That equation is assuming that the Ghosts attach ratio of software to hardware for each platform is the same. Which it may not/probably is not [You're claiming that both the XB1 version and the PS4 version each sold 14.08% of the total userbase in this example]. You can't mathematically assume that.

Spectacular numbers for the history of consoles and the doubters begone.

But poor poor Vita... it needs exclusives in major franchises right now.

That won't save it. I think it has even less appeal than the WiiU and sells worse than the WiiU.

And the WiiU's biggest franchises aren't going to save it from being another gamecube.

Best just to enjoy these great items while they are still supported. I think the Vita will become a streaming device by the end of 2014 and Nintendo will have HW by 2016.
 
The Tearaway team was 8 people. This isn't going to hurt MM in any way. More people do deserve to play it though. Hopefully it has some legs. 5k legs. :/

Yeah Sony won't be too fussed with low sales since it's gotten great reviews and will be a title they can promote whenever marketing for the Playstation Family needs to hit.
 
Oh, and Wii U is > Vita now.

About darn time. This whole vita not being the least popular system was getting on my nerves. Nice to see it back where it belongs, in last place where only the chosen few will experience its glory. My vita has a special place right next to my 32X and Tearaway gets seated to the right of Kolibri.

The mainstream can have the Wii U

Another problem is that the PS4 released last month, and Vita owners are likely to be early adopters and hardcore Playstation enthusiasts.

I didn't buy Tearaway just because I had way too many other video game expenses last month. I'll probably pick it up after the holidays.

That's the obvious short term problem, for sure, but I gotta wonder if Sony may have doomed software sales in the long run when they decided to give away Uncharted and Gravity Rush.

Given there's random numbers not ascribed to titles, I assume those are the hints that they're to be added with the rest.

275+220+200+185+100+90+25+20+4= 1114K for PS4?

edit: Yes, the random numbers are still floors, but they could be selective and still technically accurate. (title sold 203K e.g. but floor is reported as 195K, not 200K)

TEARAWAY ~ 14k

Teraway will be $20 at Gamestop. If you own a Vita, go buy and make that 14K into a 18K or maybe 20K+

I bought one. It is a lovely game.

I don't understand mainstream tastes or even "core" gamer tastes anymore.

Super Mario 3D World
A Link Between Worlds
Tearaway
Wonderful 101

These should have been some of the highest selling games of the year if people actually gave a shit about quality and innovation or anything outside of FPS and sports genres.

I hate consumers some times....most of the time actually.

No, you can't assume a copy of a game equals a system since people buy more than 1 game for their system.

he's saying creamsugar hid the total PS4 sales using those numbers, since multiplats obviously exist too
which seems farfetched, but if it's correct.....holy shit dude's got skills

Those are meant as separators to show the min/max of sales for the respective games.

But I got nothing either. I don't see any hints, especially from the posts predating Jonsoncao saying that number.

but I looked through creamsugar's actual posts, I didn't see anything...?
There isn't anything in his post history saying that... he did link to a miiverse account? Did he post it on there?
Where did this person get this number?
Thanks.

But I can't find any hint from cs about the PS4 Must have been very cryptic. haha

I don't know the number but I'm using creamsugar comment
I hinted PS4 at somewhere else several hours ago, and somebody in this thread already seen it.

And that guy was the only mentioning a number; 1138k. Plus famousmortimer said that PS4 is 200k more than Xbox One so it's 11XX k.
 
It really is jarring that

Killzone SF retail > Dead Rising 3 retail > Super Mario 3D World retail + digital

That is just...a staggering dropoff for one of Nintendo's premier franchises. Looking at the Mario & Sonic numbers (which we can add to the pile next to NSMB and Wii Party), it looks like 80-90% of the Wii fanbase completely abandoned the titles that were hot shit from 2006-2010. Next up: Wii Fit U.

Holy shit lol.

Okay, if you really insist

All numbers are ascribed to titles, for example 90k isn't a random number, its to show Knock sold more than 90k but less than 100k.

That's not what I'm doing. There are several numbers in there not next to any title. Either his post is missing information, or he selectively showed titles and broke down the difference between those title sales in their sum against the total PS4 sum. That difference is the random numbers in his post.

Why is it shitty to avoid a game that makes extensive use of a control mechanic that I do not like? I don't play Kinect games either. Is that shitty?

Have you tried the demo? I dislike the touch controls but Tearaway is an exception. The game actually works really well with it and it's not tacked on like Uncharted was.

Because extensive is pushing it. Kinect games are a bad comparison.

The back touch in Tearaway is used sparingly in small, intuitive ways.
