Video Game Sales Thread

Sales Data Estimates:
Gear VR - 2.5m
Vive - 100k
Oculus - 100k

If anyone expected better than this they weren't paying attention.

— Josh Farkas (@JoshuaFarkas) July 5, 2016

Gear is so much higher than I expected.

I'm pretty surprised at Vive being tied with Oculus even though the former is more expensive.

Bundled with galaxy

People had the option to get vr or a smartwatch, but yeah that helped a lot. It's how I got mine.

They literally give it away for free with phone sales sometimes. My brother got it for free with the note

Didn't get a choice here in Iceland

[Max King of the Wild]

Didn't the Drill admit at some point that he was just trolling the whole time, for which he was then permabanned?

Yeah, his coming out thread made about as much sense as all his other ones and considering I made a post that I feel his big reveal will either be "haha guys I'm really a huge Sony fan" when the xbox didnt outsell the ps4 or "haha guys I told you so" if it outsold the ps4 by any margin I'm really suspicious if he ever was and instead was trying to save face... Because again his coming out thread was just as stupid as every other thread and used the same thought processes

I think he was just a made up persona by a Sony fan iirc

Everyone was shocked tbh

Speak for yourself. I saw that suit a mile away

[Rorono]

So Amazon's date for Xbox S is a placeholder?

[Xevross]

So Amazon's date for Xbox S is a placeholder?

Oh I hadn't noticed that before. Yeah I think it must be, there's no mention of a particular date anywhere else.

Kimishima: Internal sales representative projected Wii U to sell 100 million Units - NeoGAF

Thought this was interesting from the shareholder meeting.

I would first like to clarify my purported comments on Wii U. I do not wish to make excuses, but at the time of the Wii U launch, I was responsible for our sales base in the United States, and I never made any pessimistic comments. In an internal sales representative meeting, someone projected that we would sell close to 100 million Wii U systems worldwide. The thinking was that because Wii sold well, Wii U would follow suit. I said that, since the Wii had already sold so well, we need to clearly explain the attraction of the Wii U if we are to get beyond that and sell the new system, and that this would be no easy task. I was responsible for selling the Wii U, and I knew what was good about it, so I talked with those in charge of sales about the importance of conveying the attractiveness of Wii U to consumers. I am guessing that some of this communication may have come across in a negative tone.

[Max King of the Wild]

I guess by that line of thought, nx should sell 16m

[Dr. Pezus]

I guess by that line of thought, nx should sell 16m

According to Nintendos analysts. Then it should sell much more than that in reality

THE FORCE AWAKENS

04/Jul/2016
Released on Tuesday 'Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens' becomes the 9th different Lego game to debut at No1 in the All Formats Chart.

It is the 4th biggest Lego video game launch of all time, behind Indiana Jones, Marvel Super Heroes and Batman, although 'Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy' sold more in its second week of launch. It is also the 4th biggest launch for a Star Wars title, behind Battlefront, The Force Unleashed and Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith. May the 4th be with it...! 'Doom' (-17%) slips from No1 to No4 behind solid performances from both 'FIFA 16' (+17%) at No2 and 'Overwatch' (+9%) at No3. 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' (-19%) drops two places to No5, while Square Enix has this week's next highest new entry with PS4 RPG 'Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness' new at No6. 'Rocket League' falls one place to No7, however sales are up an impressive 20% in its second week of launch.
The arrival of Telltale Games' '7 Days to Die' at No9 mean that there are three new games that break in to the Top 10 this week, while outside the Top 10 there are debuts for 'The Technomancer' at No13 and 'Minecraft: Wii U Edition' at No18. Price promotions on 'Tom Clancy's The Division' (+72%) and 'EA Sports UFC 2' (+93%) push them both up the chart to No's 10 and 14 respectively.

7 days to die at #13 is impressive

7 days to die at #13 is impressive

Yeah it is. I expect it will drop like a rock though.

PS4 #1 for lego again. I guess this will be the standard now.

"Someone said, but I think it'll be a challenge to differentiate the Wii U"
= Nintendo being dense.  


Makes sense.
