Video Game Sales Thread

[Rorono]

The paragraph on the article: called U3 a Thief's end instead of Drake's deception, compared shipped vs sold through and the link that was supposed to explain "why" led to nowhere that'd explain that (probably fixed now), so there were pretty much 3 mistakes in just a couple of lines. That's why I posted that. Standard gaming journalism

It's spectacular. I've played all games in the Uncharted series and they're all spectacular, one just gets better than the other. Naughty Dog have done a spectacular job again, the character development is rich, it's a little bit of a Raiders of the Lost Ark kind of adventure. It's a fantastic game, it sold through well for us and we love Sony's first party games anyway, always have.
Sales are good, sales are good – I've got to be careful talking too much about those titles, I prefer to let Sony do that but we're very happy with it. It's attached some hardware and we've also sold a fair amount of digital content that goes with Uncharted 4, so we're pretty pleased with that title.

Lol, ends at E3... Right
They just need some positive sales pr to say at e3

[DerNebel]

So MS is trying to convince as many uninformed people as they can to get an X1 before E3 where they'll inevitably announce a slim version?

Most likely just trying to get ride of some extra stock

Retailers aren't going to accept XB1 slim shipments if the fat XB1s don't go off the shelves.

It is not temporary.

It is until the actual stock ends.

They will show a revision at E3.

Vita will reach 6.5m or so in Japan. Ps4 should reach 8m+. WiiU about 4m

[Kerotan]

Very good week for PlayStation in Japan.  Vita hits 5m.

Dragon quest heroes 2 isn't hit as hard by the masou curse as first thought.  With digital it will have sold around 420-450k FW in Japan. Should hit 1m WW.

Overwatch really is a mini hit in japan and could potentially have good legs.  

Ps4 hardware is very good.  Caught up over 400k on the Wii U in less than 5 months.

Has a good may overall which is usually a terrible month for Hardware.  Things are looking good.

8? Try 10
