It's over 1 million in less than 2 months and PS4 is still sold out everywhere while XB1 has tons of systems in stores.
That means PS4's potential to sell is even greater than what it has sold so far while XB1 did meet it's demand. Expect PS4's to continue to sell more than XB1 and increase it's lead with each passing week until something huge can turn the tide back in Microsoft's favor.
This is basic Financial analysis ... did this r...
It's cheaper AND more powerful and didn't have the really negative feedback from E3 like XB1 got ...
Also as a bonus ... Sony's 1st party games > Microsoft so the future looks brighter for PS4.
A TON is riding on Titan Fall's success for Microsoft and even that game is not getting negativity towards it.
PS4 should win easily.
PS4 might beat Wii U but it won't beat 3DS in Japan.
It's not going to be PS4 vs XB1 ...
PS4 will win with ease.
The battle will be for second place ... XB1 vs Wii U.
So ... it's basically gaming PCs ... nothing to see here folks.
I kinda agree that Iwata seems absolutely lost but I don't know if Iwata deserves a ton of credit for the 3DS.
The 3DS' main selling point at first was the 3D display which a lot of people don't use and now there is even a 2DS.
In the case of 3D selling the 3DS ... that was a failure.
3DS sold because of the price cut and then big games that came right after combined with weak competition from Vita.
So I am not su...
Doesn't matter ... None of those games are guaranteed to come out before March 31st which is the end of Nintendo's Fiscal Year. Mario Kart is the only one that MIGHT come out in that time.
The whole point of this article is will Nintendo sell 9 million units in the current Fiscal Year, not the next Fiscal Year.
uh ... Vita and 3DS should be listed under current gen, not last gen.
Zelda doesn't normally do that well in Japan ... can't see the totals but at least coming in second might mean it did well.
I love Wonderful 101 ... it has sold only 120k copies so far ...
... I won't be getting a sequel.
Why?
Cuz sales matter.
It's clear from the opening paragraph they don't count Wii U at all.
My Predictions:
PS4 dominates the sales charts
Wii U does better than expected
XB1 does far worst than expected
Last Guardian gets delayed ... again.
The demo was awful ... doesn't represent the game well at all. I do agree it does a poor job at explaining the mechanics but once you know then and play stages that are not in the demo ... WOW ... Wonderful 101 is AMAZING!!
What is creative about LBP? It's a terrible fundamental platformer that you can create levels on.
And what levels are the most popular? Mario levels.
LBP sucks.
That's because Knack had plenty of articles saying how it was outselling Mario 3D World ..... in the UK .... for one week ... while being a bundled.
That's why ...
You clearly didn't read the piece. It talks about how it WASN'T reviewed all positively which goes completely against what you said.
There is nothing like it though. Give it a real chance and you will change your mind.
So basically you are exactly the type of "gamer" this article is talking about. You clearly didn't play the game to any worthwhile length yet are judging it. I ... like the author of this opinion piece have a lot of trouble believing a true gamer can play thru this game and not call it amazing.
I agree they might be off a bit ... Sony could be a little higher ... and Microsoft could be a little Lower. Nintendo is about right.
No surprise ... third party games don't sell on Nintendo home consoles.
So basically its Nintendo vs Sony+EA+Activision+UBIsoft+Cap com+Konami+fillintheblankthirdp artycompany.
In the end ... Nintendo is still the single most success single publisher.
