Hahaha, that month is hilariously

Xbox One 115K
Xbox 360: 71K


That low? And that's the majority of what was bought?

[cool breeze]

I'm guessing by the position Minecraft is in software sales are 

allegedly infamous is the top selling next gen game and absent from the top ten.  so probably.

[The Sceneman]

good god that NPD



Consoles are doneburgers

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Wait for Titanfall

[Joe Molotov]

3 Lego games and Minecraft, we've reached the event spergrizon.

[archie4208]

And Xbone is the 2nd highest selling hardware with that 115k. 

But I'm sure everything's fine.

Tencent made $1 billion profit last quarter.

Sony lost $1 billion

Times are a changin'

[Great Rumbler]

Still a few seats left on the Kickstarter train. Better hurry, though.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

in Sony's money-bleeding annual report they mentioned that their console sales were down 45% from 2008.

in 2008 Sony had a lagging third place console, the losing-momentum PSP, and a moribund PS2.

I mean, shit, ouch, and all that.

PS4 sales is fud. X1 is more real.

Some quick back of the box math...

Xbox One sold 115k in April.
Analysts estimate that Apple sold 38.2 million iPhones last quarter, which averages out to 12.7 million per month.
That means iPhone is outselling Xbox One at a rate of 100+-to-1.

Imagine that you're a developer trying to determine what platform to make games for. What do YOU choose?

Ps4. DUH.

I mean, it's pretty obvious.

X1.

selling a game for $60 + micro transaction is more profitable than one hit wonders in iOS crowded scene.

but Xbox One is a nice console.  why do consumers always go for mobile devices

3DS' collapse might be more impressive than XBone or Wii U

This ignores attach rate. Considering the attach rate of Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario Kart 8, etc.  I'm making a Wii U exclusive. Especially with Microsoft dropping the key feature of the Kinect, I can trust Nintendo not to abandon their essential hook in the tablet controller.

fewer than 4,000 vitas were sold in april

you can fit every vita sold in april in a small room.  if you had 84 bags of M&Ms, every M&M would equal one vita sold in april.  people spent less than one million dollars on vitas in april.

  Someone confirm/deny this. I'm not so good with the M&M's math.

People spent >14 times as much money on Dota compendiums last week than Vitas last month. 

[Raban]

can we change the title to Math-kun?

Mario golf 17k? Holy shit. Kirby 40k.

That's actually written "Emandematics."

[Positive Touch]

so... are all the remaining major devs calling emergency meetings to talk about what theyre going to be releasing in 2016-17? because starting a multi-million dollar project at this point just seems like pissing in the wind

[Raban]

thread title change

[Joe Molotov]

It's all looking a bit

[Raban]

just wait Facebook will save us

[Steve Youngblood]

Poor Mario Golf.

[Takao]

I played about 10 minutes of the Conception demo and was like nuh-uh.

[Tasty]

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

conception 2 on vita outsold mario golf

i love you vita but your fans need to be on an fbi watchlist

holy crap, that's actually, kind of an okay number for an ultra niche sorta game.  Did the 3DS version even match that?

I guess that performance does explain the Senran Kagura/Neptunia/shame dungeon games that keep coming out for it.

[Rahxephon91]

I was slightly interested in Conception 2 it because it's a jrpg. I mean I knew it had some otaku crap in it, but maybe it could be ignored. Then in the 3DS demo you went on a date with strange emotionless Rei clone and I was just like "I don't need this Japan. This stuff is getting old". I'm not even sure it has fanservice other then the strange way the character picture moves that makes some character's boobs bounce. The entire thing just seemed half assed honestly.

I really like the Vita, more because it just seems like a really well made portable. It's got some ok games, but I keep seeing this sentiment that it's this great jrpg machine. My question is where are these jrpg games? It's not like there are a lot. Two of the best one's seem to be ports. Then there's Ys. After that there's NIS crap that I couldn't care less about. I don't get it.

I guess that performance does explain the Senran Kagura/Neptunia/shame dungeon games that keep coming out for it.

I mean I'm not going to talk crap about Senran Kagura because I'm going to get it. Yet maybe it's because the jrpg genre has fallen on hard times, but it seems those Neptunia and IF games have genuine fans. That they are actually considered good. It's pretty sad.

[mjemirzian]

This year and next year seem like a big case of "our AAA games sold millions and millions but we still lost money". 2016-2017? Smartphone game future. :'(

Console gaming is hitting the same wall arcade games did. Most people are now gaming on smartphones, tablets, or low-mid range laptops and PCs that offer comparable graphics to the layman with additional non-gaming features.

SoCs with much improved integrated graphics will put a serious squeeze on consoles. Nvidia and AMD are both racing towards high performance/watt parts for computing devices that "just happen to" play games. Gaming-exclusive devices are rapidly dropping off.

[thisismyusername]

It's sad.  I know when I was watching that unveiling of the Vita with its Ryu ga Gotoku stuff and what-have-you, I never would have anticipated its fate would be as an otaku masturbation aid and a collection of late indie ports.

Yep, it's why I haven't bought anything for the system in nearly a year.

Outside of Disgaea 4 (shut up, Rah) and Tearaway there isn't much on the system I want that isn't PSP backlog titles. And at that point I can just play PSP backlog titles on my PC with PPSSPP. 

I will admit that Badman free-to-play title is pretty good though.

[Eel O'Brian]

To be fair to Vita, they were letting stock dry up for the 2000 bundle launch.  So it probably missed an extra 500-1000 sales

spoiler (click to show/hide)

[close]

I bought it because I have about 20 PS+ (and PSP games I bought during sales) that I have never even touched, so by the time I'm finished with those a few more will have built up. Plus, streaming PS4 and PSNow games. Good enough.

Anyhow, I'm okay with 3-5 big console/PS4 games a year until it's over, I never play through more than that anyway

Indeed but "lol handhelds".


also its funny seeing the RIP Vita stuff again when its been dead for a while.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Too much focus on hollywood gaming has brought this on.

399/499 for new hardware and 60 euro for throw away experiences had to end or diminish one day.

The culling this gen will be huge.

Now back to Hearthstone on my 3 year old laptop, can't wait for the iPhone release so I can spend some more money on it.

Dropping online play fees would probably help a small bit as well. Maybe just me putting my desire on others, but I can't see people willingly putting up with $50/year just to play Call of Duty online for much longer.

I pay for PS+ willingly and happily, and I never play online multiplayer anything. FREE GAMES YO.

[Great Rumbler]

Just FYI you are paying for them. They are not Free.

Really, really cheap games, yo.

[Human Snorenado]

Just FYI you are paying for them. They are not Free.

Pffft.

[Human Snorenado]

I paid less ($30 on the holiday sale) for a year of PS+ and probably dozens of games than you paid for HD remakes of two shitty square games.

[Eel O'Brian]

I know, right? When I loaded up the store and checked my DL history on the Vita, there was all kinds of PS+ shit I didn't even remember "buying," like SF vs. Tekken.

That reminds me, be sure and "buy" any PS+ games you haven't already so they'll be in your DL History, they always do a big refresh come E3 time.

[Damian79]

Is it really true that you lose everything even the ones that you buy on ps+ if you leave ps+?

[Raban]

pretty sure you keep the games you bought on sale, but the free monthly gimmes get taken away without a sub.

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, free stuff is gone (until you resub), stuff you bought on discount is yours forever.

[thisismyusername]

Is it really true that you lose everything even the ones that you buy on ps+ if you leave ps+?

Stuff you bought on discount is yours. DLC you bought for stuff you didn't buy (rentals) isn't yours to keep. The DLC itself is, but the game it's attached to? No.

[benjipwns]

I love Kit Kats 

Was hoping they'd port some of the Japanese flavors over, guess that won't be happening... 

[Damian79]

Thanks for that.  Good to hear that it is not a distinguished mentally-challenged system(ps+ that is), its kinda cool actually.

[Cerveza mas fina]

My PS+ is on my irish account, so when it expires I would have to order a PS+ card from there to keep the games.

[a slime appears]

I'm more interested in knowing how the Whatchamacallit market is doing.

Nutrageous shits on your favorite candy

finally, the myth that only first party software sells on nintendo platforms is dispelled.
