Huh, so I guess people don't share my Dark Souls fatigue at all, DSIII opened 61% higher than DSII in the UK.

Code:

[Week 25, 2010] DEMON'S SOULS: BLACK PHANTOM EDITION (BANDAI NAMCO GAMES) > 10,000 < 15,000 / NEW
[Week 40, 2011] DARK SOULS (BANDAI NAMCO GAMES) > 30,000 < 36,000 / NEW
[Week 11, 2014] DARK SOULS II (BANDAI NAMCO GAMES) > 38,000 < 43,000 / NEW
[Week 13, 2015] BLOODBORNE (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 43,000 / NEW
[Week 15, 2016] DARK SOULS III (BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT) > 61,000 < 69,000 / NEW

Split was 71% PS4, 26% X1, 3% PC

i think people who started out with Demon's souls and dark souls 1 might feel some fatigue after DS2, BB and now DS3. but i feel there are a lot of new comers to the franchise coming in and they are making up for those who just got tired for the formula. for example my first real taste was with Bloodborne, and after loving it i am considering buying DS3 later on.

Plus the PC digital sales, that's a huge jump!

Still waiting for that hardware revision. That box is ungodly big and was clearly not taken into account of the European market when designing it as it is too big too put under my TV.

I'd build a small form factor pc over buying an xbox.

I'd build a small form factor pc or buying a xbox.

Speculation but we already predicted that

Microsoft may have sold fewer than 20m Xbox Ones, EA reveals | Technology | The Guardian

It is hard to believe with the data we have that Xbox One crossed 20m sold.
