Why does that say survival of the crittiest? Is crittiest a word?

Whoa there. it took them 2+ years to reach 30, they would have to sell a decent amount WW above this year multiple years in a row to reach 100 million in the next 3 years or even be near it.

Remember it took the Xbox 360 and PS4 around 8 years to reach around 90. I know both consoles are selling better, but both consoles were also heavier in the front loading department. We also know that AR and VR are coming in too expensive to change the game and add life, such as what Kinect and to a lesser Extend Move and Wonderbook did for 360 and PS4 sales respectively. Without something to add on to their lives t seems unlikely any will be at 80 let alone 100 million.

Even going up till end of life, because already both consoles have only one SKU, they likely won't have something that will boost their life spans by a great amount, they also are already being sold at pretty cheap prices. While last gen even with multiple Sku's they all got cuts or replaces with similar or a cheaper model, and price cuts did quite a bit in extending the Life of the 360 and PS4. i am afraid the current price wars will remove that benefit for the PS4 and Xbox one. Or in some countries, price war plus bundles filled with incentives.

If the PS4 is to reach 100 million it's got to either have so many games reaching double the output and grabbing tons of exclusive deals, which won't happen because Xbox one is still sell relatively close and well and brinign in tons of money sans japanese developers, or it needs something to boost people interests in the consoles like Kinect or move etc. Which won't LIKELY be VR at the price announced/rumored about.

Dare I say the new TR didn't chart because TR 2013 was a really bad game?

I know it has people who love it, but I figured people wanting that style of shooter would buy call of duty instead.

I have no interest in the new game, no matter what platform it is on (till it costs $5 of course). Wishful thinking maybe, but AC didn't do well either.

Something is off about Aaron tweet, no way PS4+XBO sold more than 3m

EDIT: It was wrong, I knew it.

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

I love these threads, great comedy from those emotionally invested in their purchase. This gen has been settled for well over a year now, looking forward to even more focus on the games next time around assuming lessons have been learnt.

Hoping both these can still go strong and Nintendo serves up better with the NX, we're getting some pretty good games at the moment.

What FPS's are you talking about, maybe that will help me understand what you're getting at better. Are you talking about KIllzone, which popular PS2 FPS's?
Click to expand...

Timespliters, Medal of Honor, Half-Life, Red Faction, Tribes, 007, SWBF

of the games I just listed, a lot of them were not released on Xbox with some or all installments, the ones that did usually did not sell well in comparison tot he PS2 by a margin of which the Xbox version may as well be a niche title. Some were pretty much remembered for being ont he PS2, a lot of these series had games that sold millions..On the PS2 with I think maybe 2 exceptions.

of course I'm talking about installments during the active years of the PS2 and Xbox.

Now with a line-up such as this, none of these games reached the levels close to Halo other than, and anybody correct me if i am wrong, Metal of Honor Frontline was the closest a game got to the lowest selling Halo Xbox title. And Xbox had just as many choices as the PS2 pretty much.

This is similar for the PS2, With Sly, Ratchet, and Jak, along with other PS2 favortie multiplats such as TY the tiger, Rayman 2, Spyro, Crash, and Tak, the closest that PS2 got to coming to the sales of SMS was the first Jak game.

You missed the 'worldwide' part of the tweet.

Ah, yeah, he corrected himself with this...

...which I misinterpreted as his correction of the WW sales of GTA franchise actually be U.S numbers, but rather, instead, it was his correction regarding Nintendo's sales vs GTA's sales in the U.S.

i.e. this tweet

No.

The game was extremely well received both critically and by players, regardless of anecdotal evidence you or other people here may offer.

Releasing it in March isn't going to magically make it sell more. It may chart higher, for longer, but that's ultimately a hollow achievement.

It might help. Because most people prefer to spend 60$ on COD than Halo it seems. Releasing it earlier would help people not to make that choice.

Well that's a pretty shit attitude to have
Click to expand...

For me, it's a shit attitude like you said when you do a third-party game become an exclusive (even 1 year) whereas the first game was multiplat and the licence has peaked with the PlayStation gamers ...

And don't lose your mind, I don't even like the Street Fighter 5 exclusive (console exclusive) for PS4 because there are, any doubts, many SF gamers on Xbox One, especially if you release a game multiplat (Street Fighter 4 on PS3/360) and don't release the sequel then ...

So, yes I hope it will bomb on PS4 next year, next time, don't play with gamers Square Enix, don't ignore a community because of "MS's check" :)

And I hope for PS4 gamers that Tomb Raider will be at 40$/€ max with all the DLCs !
