The fact that actions of a large number of individual decisions can be measured and predicted based on normalized curves with a reasonable range of error is nothing short of magic.
So, 95k then?

In my town which has several gamestops and 5 Best Buys in the metro area among others like Target and Wal Mart have had Rayman Legends on demo since the beginning and still do and have only added odd titles here and there like Game & Watch and I think I saw Sonic Racing at a couple of stores. Keep in mind many stores don't even have a demo station though.
Never saw one in my area, which struck me as odd. That and the lack of a W101 demo.
Dedicated Nintendo handhelds almost always sell more than home consoles. Much cheaper cost of entry.
Hardware sales in general have gone to shit though.

Since we don't know how much that "more" actually is (I don't think it will be much bigger than a few percentage) I would let it at +93k until we get the real numbers from CreamSugar.

Yeah... I buy that the bundle helped, but I'm not putting a lot of stock in the notion that people didn't realize there was a 360 version.

Okay, call my 95k a hunch then.

Is this a hint?
If I throw out random percentage increases with no relation to the PS3 or 3DS M/M whatsoever obviously can you comment on those random non-sequitur percentages..
For instance 160% and 50%.

We only want creamsugar numbers. If he doesn't show, I'm going to start posting Chartz numbers out of desperation.

It's a creative industry too, so the beauty behind all this is that something could take off without predicting that it would. A plumber growing big eating mushrooms and stomping on turtles and grabbing coins, jumping into floating blocks and running around just so he can eventually reach a star or see how high he can grab onto a flag pole...or maybe mathematics predicted that that would be successful before Yamauchi greenlighted it
Don't do it! You're too young!

I didn't know that you have access to those numbers. Well, if you're a credible source then of course that 95k would be the exact number!!!

This is a better plan.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Wonder if there was a bump for any WiiU software or if this is going to be the return to the definition of a Mario and Zelda box.
Obviously W101 was a disaster.

Yep, you're probably completely right. That's too bad though, I've heard a lot of people say it's a really good game.
lol, looks like Sony's marketing paid off.

So Reaper of Souls should come out for 360/PS3 now. No excuse not to.
Considering the Xbox popularity in the US, I seriously doubt that.
Maybe they just thought it was a good deal and bought the bundle?

Do it.
I only remember that when MGS4 came out, PS3 sold twice the number of 360. But according to this thread, this (PS3 outselling the 360) has happened a couple of times before.

Where are the numbers?

Blizzard does like money. I assume we'll see Xbox One, PS4, 360, and PS3 versions next summer. I'm surprised they have it running on PS4 already since just two months ago they said they had just received dev kits.

But did it outsell the Wii back then? I can't remember...

Questions for creamsugar:
Sales #s for Wii U
Rayman Legends total sales and split across platforms
Wonderful 101?.... should I even ask?

Steve is going to trick some poor Junior into posting the Chartz numbers, ain't he? I'm on to you, buddy
No, I'm going to post them myself! And then I'll probably be banned by bish or something.
No, he actually though it was exclusive. Some people do not follow gaming news, they just buy what they see on tv.

Anihawk and I did a secret ritual to get another Rayman game. AniHawk's soul didn't survive, but I think it was worth it.
It had to have done better than it did over in Japan at least.
i don't know... 35-40k sounds about right.
Didn't make much business sense. I'm happy it happened though :,]
