Quote from: Rorono on Nov 17, 2015, 01:22 PMOut of the blue, here are my current Nov+Dec (combined) predictions
Ps4: NPD 2.1M, WW 7M.
X1: NPD 1.8M, WW 3M.

Last year they were:

PS4: NPD 1.905m, WW about 5 and a half million
XB1: NPD 2.52m. WW about 4 million

So this year I'm gonna guess:

PS4: NPD 2.3m, WW 6.9m
XB1 NPD 1.9m, WW 3.3m

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Nov 17, 2015, 03:44 PMTo be fair, it's 600k digital for maybe 4-5m sold on the two consoles

This is low... about 15% using 4m.... lower using 5m.

EA talked about digital today.

20% on PS4/Xbox One for them.

EA CFO:Digital margins over x2 physical; DD is 20% on PS4\XB1,expects 40% in 4 years - NeoGAF

QuoteEA's CFO, Blake Jorgensen, had a chat at yesterday's Global Technology Conference. You can hear it here: https://cc.talkpoint.com/ubsx001/111...ity=40_UQQX1EY
Aside from the news about EA making an open-world action game, the highlights are:
- PS4\XB1 user-base on track to 50-51M at the end of 2015.
- Attach-rate is about the same as the previous gen. However, extra content sales have gone up significantly.
- Digital copy margins are over x2 the margins of a physical copy.
- Last quarter for EA full-game downloads represented 20% of all XB1\PS4 copies. Expect the share to grow to 40% over the next 3-4 years.

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 17, 2015, 04:03 PMLast year they were:

PS4: NPD 1.905m, WW about 5.6m
XB1: NPD 2.52m. WW about 4.4m

So this year I'm gonna guess:

PS4: NPD 2.4m, WW 6.9m
XB1 NPD 1.9m, WW 3.5m

We don't have that number. I'm sure it was less, around 3.9-4M. Chertz's US ratio for X1 became too low after the funny "shortly will have shipped 10M" PR.

Maybe it was, we can't be sure. Lets say about 4m then

All right, changed my numbers a bit now I'm happy

Well I consider 15% a decent percentage. I think Fallout will be relatively more bought in stores due to people wanting to "own" it, having the case and stuff. At least I saw many saying that on FB.

Less huge ones, I guess. Fallout 4 seemed like an event. It only comes out like every 3-4 years

Destiny and Battlefront seem like the death of reviews dictating sales. Can you guys think of any other games with metas in the 70s yet are still mega sellers?

CoD Ghosts.

i dont know if you consider 5 million sales a mega seller, but dying light and dead island both sold 5 million+.

We don't know how well Battlefront sold yet! Might have been a mega flop!
