@Flutterby "Well considering the paper trail content is still going I can't imagine many will be "flooding" back in to resale for a while. "

And that is one genius aspect to Paper Trail. It being free, fun and interesting to play, weekly/episodic gives that incentive to hold on to a copy for the kind of gamer who bought the game day 1 and had it platinumed by the end of the weekend. Probably also explains why it's holding a strong trade-in value right now.

If this helps publishers and retailers sell more early (and therefore profitable) copies while also giving the user the perception of extra, free content, I can live with that. It's not the kind of thing you can add in to a game at the last minute, so they must have thought long and hard about this. It's good to see an interesting story line that's arguably much more fun to play than the Cole's legacy stuff and also plenty of paid DLC I've shelled out for with other games.

Now Titanfall is out on 360 they will go back to 3-1 I think purely because a lot of people who were on the fence will just buy for 360 and stay there. This was pre-360 titanfall remember. Next week we shall get numbers after 360 titanfall. Side note the so called failing Vita is outselling the 360 and the WiiU.. Not bad for a handheld with no game against a console with Mario and Zelda and the juggernaut that is the 360..

Gamer1920 1st consoles vs handheld isn't apples to apples comparison. 2nd you're talking about much older console in the 360, with a next gen offering that splits potential sales, older gen sales always drop dramatically with newer hardware available, whereas the Vita isn't competing with a next gen handheld successor, compared to 3ds with less then half it's sales also waaasy behind lifetime with the gap growing although its the newer handheld which you would expect to start off hot, well that's not very encouraging for sony anymore than Wii u #s are encouraging for nintendo....error well wii u might be a bit more dissapointing, especially considering the wii's success.

Moving on:

Seems like great numbers all around.

According to vgchartz ballpark global #'s with X1 in significantly less markets=

X1 4.1 mil
PS4 6.8 mil

Also with over 2mil gap in hardware sales

Titanfall (X1) 1.3 mil
I:SS 1 mil

I think if anything this proves it's that both consoles a doing very well, ps4 is just doing better as you would assume considering it's advantage in market availability, not that it's the only factor as I'm sure ps4 would lead (for now) in the majority of markets even if X1 was available, still its worth pointing out X1 is easily losing 10's of thousands weekly sales due to market availability that would close the gap overall in sales like the 360 did for the most part, so a weekly global sales comparison currently is heavily skewed in sonys favor, either way X1 and ps4 console sales are healthy, both consoles continue to improve features and E3 is just around the corner.

Gamers are blessed.

I agree about buttons I love remote play but using touch pad at back instead of r2 and l2 is too frustrating and I avoid games that heavily require this or play games I can change it up on remote play. Its just not very feasible.. Maybe an addon in the future would be a cool idea? USB triggers..

@ candy_mafia - I salute you, well said, bravo, and so on.

OT - PS4 continues to dominate. Can't wait for E3. I'm hoping for Driveclub to release around then, more news about PS4's Planetside 2 and Everquest, and a firm announcement about a PS4 version of H1Z1.
