This makes me happy. Played the hell out of Yakuza 0 and wasn't expecting to love it so much. Buying Yakuza 6 with the 20% off I just got today.

NPD April 2018: God of War #1 software, PS4 tops hardware charts
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
If COD sells what RDR sold in its PS360 lifetime (7 years) in a year that would be a flop for COD
Even if they put a billion dollars into standing up multiple development studios we wouldn't see anything for 3-5 years. This generation is a wash imo. They might have 1-2 A-AAA tiered titles for E3 but trying to compete with Sony WWS or Nintendo is a lost cause until mid next gen probably.
Last I checked both come out in October.
My friend who is a manager at GameStop thinks games are gonna shy away from November here on out. He said it makes sense to release your game well ahead of BF. So when BF hit u can get better discounts on games. But that's just a theory
Tough call. RDR is not GTA. The western setting does not have the same mass appeal as the GTA tropes.
Even considering how successful GTA 4 was, I don't think anyone was expecting 5 to be as big as it is. I think just having the name Rockstar attached to it and being the first new game they've made in 5 years is going to make it huge. I think it'll do 30 mil easy.
ahhh, right. whoops. Well the hardware numbers are out already. I think someone posted earlier in the thread that GOW is somewhere in the 1.6-1.8 million range ?
Online was a huge factor in that one over 4, but I agree, nobody seen it achieve the level it has done and continues to do.
Do not get me wrong, it will do much better than the original which did well. But do not expect 5 levels for a Western theme, unless they have a new addictive mechanic up their sleeve to help populate the (sparse) world online.
I think it will be around this as well.
Americans like the FIFA games, and college football/NFL seasons don't start until later in the year. This time of year is for basketball/soccer/early-season baseball, so it's no surprise FIFA did well. It's just not the "omg the only sport that matters in life is futbol and I must buy the futbol video game" craze that it is elsewhere.
That would put it in direct competition with Days Gone. I highly doubt TLoU2 comes out in the first half of 2019
Nah. It didn't sell 70 million copies, so you're clearly not the only playstation fan who didn't buy it :)
It's one thing if you see that a game doesn't appeal to you. That's 100% normal, and healthy behavior for any consumer.
It's quite another thing if you can't imagine how it could appeal to anyone, which would belie a stunning lack of empathy or imagination.
Not everybody liked the 360 pad. And I would guess Wii Remotes sold more, at least if you count the controllers bundled with games (Wii Play and all the others). Wii was built for local multi and everyone I know had several Wiimotes.
I mean, not everyone is into games like The Last of Us, just like not everyone is into racing games or shooters. It doesn't change that TLOU got so big some fans started crying when the sequel was revealed, heh.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Xbox One will reach 40M LT in some months, way better than Wii U.
Did WiiU even outsell Vita? I think I have an avatar bet still open on that one on some forum :D
If RDR2 has a multiplayer anywhere near GTAV, it will probably sell more than that.
40 Million Just on the end of the year if maintain the trend of first q1.
Very nice and a great number for GOW .
Over 50% at launch growth compare to GOW3 .
Could give us some idea of the DD split ?
Xbox One and Wii U are non compareable.
Xbox One without a doubt has vastly missed MS's expectations of it. But Wii U was the successor to the fastest selling home console ever and cratered. Xbox One at the end of the day is a disappointment certainly but nothing on the same level as the Wii U

I assume You are referring to only NPD not worldwide? I remember me was expecting 30-40% market share in Germany for example.
Yeah if anything I could see ppl comparing it to that orig Xbox if they wanna compare it to something. Even then that's crazy. Even then it did better than that.
I think that person meant how we aren't really discussing XBO sales. Really God of War is just dominating the conversation right now. It's expected.
And PS4.
If they can somehow make the mp component of RDR the same as GTA maybe there is a chance imo. I'm guessing a lot of mp-only players of GTA heard of it and will likely jump into just to test it out. It will be bigger than RDR1 though that's for sure.
Makes me think of ars technica...

Both. They are non compareable.
Xbox One will finish its LT somewhere around 50% of Xbox 360's sales.
Wii U didn't even manage to hit 20% of the Wii's sales. They aren't comparable in any way. But I'm not interested in console wars.
Xbox One will sell ~4x as much as the Wii U did WW when all is said and done.
Wii U sold 13M, XB1 will end at ~50M.

I can totally see 200 million PS4's sold by 2021
The Wii U was an outright catastrophe. As I said the same can't be said of the Xbox One
It is without a doubt a huge disappointment. It essentially cut Xbox's market share in half, and has taken a huge amount of work to right the ship even to where it is now. But the Wii U was a true disaster in terms of sales
It's killing TLOU numbers. Over 10 million is virtually a lock now.
Oh my god of war...
Easy, just rename 'Diff' as 'Xbox One' and the green line as NS.Makes me think of ars technica...
