Anyone still think November will be 2:1? Xbox One firmly on top right now and PS4 won't be too far ahead if you count the star wars/cod bundles

[DerNebel]

That's so true.  it xbox was winning like they thought they'd be all over chartz.  But they all found convenient reasons to leave and left.  

Der Nobel regarding Tak1. If we keep talking about him we might turn into him.

So what do you say we stop Dear Nobel :ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You get the point!
Do you not think they will in a week to 10 days?  Rip off a load of people who want halo with that 500$ bundle they cut prices across the board.  

I think they will.  Just can't imagine they'd give up so easily,  which is what they will be doing if they don't.  

On the counter,  if their BF deal is only 299 then maybe they won't be cutting.  

2m sales at 50$ less is 100m in extra losses.  Maybe they're not willing.

What are you doing to my name?


You're not writing a letter to the Nobel Prize committee and if you want to call me nobel then it would have to be "Der Noble"

Kinect bundle just got a price drop!


I'm not confident ps4 will win 2:1, but this update doesn't change that.

Yeah I think this doesn't change too much but its still quite significant. It'll be very interesting to see how long this holds there for. Xb1 will definitely top this week with a huge spike but the real battle is next week with the cod bundle for PS4. I think PS4 will just scrape it and the week after then will start doing some incredible numbers once Star Wars comes along. I'm undecided on who takes October but I think PS4 still takes November by a fair margin.

I'd like to take you and give you a fair margin...

Yet to get any numbers or stats on Halo's launch. Hopefully in the next few days we get something.

The PS4 still leads in other major retailers. I think it will win November by a significant margin, but not by 2:1.

905k copies of Splatoon have been sold in Japan.
167k at least are digital.

But Tak1 will call you dear and I'm impersonating him.

Will it make 1m retail by years end?

PS4 catching up with the 3DS fast.  By the end of next year the gap will be under 10m. It'll pass it out in 2017. And it came out a lot after it.  

What a change a generation makes.  From the DS and PS3 to the PS4 and 3DS!

Easily, its guranteed over 1.2 million already by new years.
This game has a bundle, plushies, a soundtrack(sold 43k copies first week), more dlc and events.
This game is the reason wii u is up yoy.

I'm talking retail only.  

It needs to sell about 270k for the rest of the year at retail.  Would it do it without a bundle?  There's going to be about 250k needed when the bundle hits and there's only 7 weeks left in the year then.  Will splatoon average over 30k retail for the remainder of the year?  
It could but it's not guaranteed.  One things for certain it wouldn't hit 1m retail this year without the bundle.  

Not that it takes away from the incredible sales.

Well anything can happen.
It is still above 10k on media create and its the 2nd worse month of the year.
It can reach it without bundle at retail.

Gaping won't even begin to describe it.
