Instead of dollar numbers I wish NPD would base everything off of value. The farther we go into time the more inflation we'll get. Is the DS4 in 90s dollars be higher than any other controller of the time?
So adjusting all sales for inflation, and using that? Sounds good.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but did we get numbers for the Xbox?
I saw that the PS4 and Switch's leaked, but didn't see any Xbox numbers. This is assuming the former two's numbers are correct, of course.

Idk, it was just an example but I would like it to be adjusted for inflation. I know that's probably a lot of work though.
DS4 has been on the market 5 years though (I assume that's not too long?).
Would be interesting to see how long those other controllers were available for sale.
Of course it will push hardware sales... it won't be confined to one platform, but people WILL buy a console for RDR2. The fact that PS4 has the marketing exclusive means it will likely sell more on that console, but it will move plenty of console sales on the XB platform,
Whats his name?Until The Last of Us Part II comes out.
Are these numbers right? Wow that's impressive for Sony.
It's those damn immigrants coming in here and taking sales away.

Red Dead Redemption. Nobody wants to go head to head with a R* juggernaut.
that makes no sense how is it better to release 1 week before RDR2 than have a entire month to yourself?
Sort of a tangent, but:
One thing I've always been curious about is the lifetime dollar sales for past platforms, both HW and SW, both contemporary dollars and adjusted dollars. Just feels like that's a really cool benchmark for how things turned out in the end that we never really get to see.
Pretty incredible how GoW PS4 has turned out for SSM/Sony. Huge critical and commercial success. Not my cup of tea (at least based on trying GoW 1/2 back on what.. the PS2 ?), but it's nice to see good work rewarded.
And yet Activison moved it's relaese date from the usual mid November to early October. I wonder why?
Is it still pretty gory? I'm a bit squeamish so that stuff puts me off.
Not comparable to the previous games at all. New camera, combat completely reinvented and actually godlike now, narrative totally different, level design totally different and more open like the Soulsborne games, etc.
It's still gory but nowhere near as gory as it used to be, sadly. That actually annoys me though since the gore has always been part of the experience and brought great reactions from friends when we were playing together, but if bloody games are not for you, then this game won't be either. It does have blood, and one or two monster executions are on the same level as the previous games.
Wow. Thats... Amazing. God of War pushed so hard the system. Damn. Very impressive.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll check it out more. I don't mind some random gore, but the head-tearing-off execution of I dunno which game was a bit much for me. Otherwise everything about it sounds pretty amazing.
K
nah no longer ripping heads off anymore. But the camera is close so it can feel just as visceral at times. I don't think it would make anyone squeamish.
That's a damn impressive month. Switch is chillin right now but will blow up whenever Smash comes out.
They definitely are competing, price cuts monlthy. It's just ps4 has too much mindshare to over come.
3 years between main games is pretty standard for ND games so 2019 looks likely. 2.5 year marketing cycles are also typical for them so an early 2019 release makes sense.
Haha I must be the only playstation fan who dont see the appeal in The Last of Us.
