Microsoft may have sold close to a million consoles while losing $40 console. Microsoft just flushed 40 million dollars down the toilet for the sake of some casuals.
How much were they selling it for? Selling a million copies is no good if they are sold at $10 each.
It has been 3 days and VGCharts has sales numbers.... They should be making billions of dollars with those skills.
If the ps4 or the Xbox were selling as well as Vgchartz claim we would be seeing news from recognized news sites. All the last month figures are just bs. We would be hearing about sold out consoles etc., we are hearing nothing from anyone, including Sony, who love to talk up sales. Vgcharts is out of control with these numbers.
Numbers out of their asses.
Microsoft price matched the ps4 in Japan, the PS4 is not selling.. they should have been brave and gone in at 30 000 yen!
OK "gamers" The reason they are doing this is to cover their asses so none of you sue them, or worse still sue the console makers who certified this game. You realize both Sony and Microsoft signed these games off as fine to publish on their consoles?
There was some serious sh-t done this last week but you would all rather complain about gamergate and review scores. How about console makers certifying broken games to increase sales of their consoles?
Don&#...
Free game yeah!!! all is forgiven.. You guys deserve to be robbed blind.
Do you really believe this? On Amazon.com Smash was consistently selling above GTA 5, yet it was outsold by GTA5, very unlikely. VGchartz is a joke.
I agree, but if people love that game.. it is no worse than buying a fight pad.
Ypu are asking for all those games to start recognizing a controller imput through the usb. That might take a little to a lot of backwards software engineering. It is not as simple as on and off.
These "Journalists" are more worried that all their doom mongering has come to nothing. What will they write about now? Look at the Amazon.com video game charts. Looks like a lot of nintendo products at the top.
Reality is the user base for those games is on different consoles. If new IP launched on all the consoles at the same time it may have a chance, but if the game is in any way inferior on the Nintendo system why would someone who owns multiple systems, as many gamers do, choose to buy the game on the wii u?
The only game devs who can feel entitled to be angry at the wii u install base are probably THe most wanted U guys, Critiereon( i think) Who brought the pc port to Wii u and did no...
6 months ago it would not have sold either. It would have been facing Mariokart 8. The perfect time for this game to have released was June the 16th.
Or there 4.1 million stupid gamers.
well, if you say so.
This is a stupid comment. All the games you listed are different with every new version.
Your comment screams of angry fanboy.
That is nothing! Ps4 users spent 3 billion hours on porn hub.
So true.
Like Reggie earlier this week, he did not need to speak about the PS4 or Xbox, let the good games do the talking.
Sony, maybe worried about the potential of a bad Christmas. With no great games on the PS4 and the wii u dropping its biggest game so far, witha toys to life range, and the VIta set to be buried by another Pokemon game, it maybe that Sony is about to see a nose dive in sales.
Great post.
