apparently bayonetta outsold drive club.  that's amazing.  and it was delayed 11 months.

and that alien game didn't do well

Bayo 2 appeals to like 100k people worldwide , 15 of which are on this forum.

Game doesnt look appealing at all to me and neither does Smash Bros, which I imagine is some us favourite since I never knew anyone that played it in Europe.

100k people still sounds like more appeal than drive club

KOSMA AM CRY

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

brehette....

i ain't taking this seriously. i just like ruffling his sony feathers because ps4 fans are

[thisismyusername]

people thinking borderlands was going to tank just because there were no current-gen versions

I'm honestly surprised it didn't. Hasn't the trend been cross-gen/last-gen selling less than it was a year ago?

Himu i know you think youre being smart, but if you think bayo outsold driveclub ww ltd you high girl.

Getting a copy of Bayo 2 is like Gold dust in some places. It's heavy in demand for the runs Nintendo are putting out.

But then apparently more data out is that Sunset actually did really well but the multiplats tore shit up this month and in the battle of exclusives sales it was Sunset > Bayo 2 >>>>> Driveclub. And Forza Horizon 2 sold more than DC (Therefore proving God is a kind soul and not a stern and angry god)

Man where's Oscar when you need him. #GamerGate is over. Come baaaaack.

People arguing over the sales of Bayo 2 and Drive Club 

Seriously

[thisismyusername]

They both bombed. What is there to argue about? 

[Himu]

Wait, ya'll think that's an argument? The only person taking that seriously is Lager

[Himu]

I have.  Doesn't mean I can't troll.

[Rahxephon91]

Oh that's trolling? Where?

[Himu]

Looks to be working on Lager!

[Himu]

He unfriended me on Facebook.

this was actually in the back of my mind once the controversy erupted (i.e wondering if the icon would be changed) but i never expected it to actually happen

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Drive Club bombed because it should have been a launch title.  It isn't very good but it would have been a lot more successful during a launch when people were more willing to pay for a flashy tech demo at full price.  Not now when there are actual software options.  So I'm not surprised it tanked.

Bayonetta 2 was always going to bomb, that's why it was never going to get made until Nintendo offered to pick up the tab.  No real surprises here either.

[Takao]

If Drive Club isn't great a year late how bad would it have been at launch?

[dmj]

If Drive Club isn't great a year late how bad would it have been at launch?

Killzone 4 was certified shit and sold 2 Million copies if I recall correctly. #Driveclub could have been amazing and would have never reached that amount because there are so many other games to play this year. It seems like in the past year they fixed nothing.  Should have just rush released it at launch and patched it back to full health like Battlefield 4... Might have recouped the investment that way.

Game is a full length great arcade racer just with a borked multiplayer (that seems to be working finally now).  Has more content than PGR3 but less than PGR4.

Quick, get Famous Mortimer and former ign editor Jeremy Conrad on the phone to double check!

Edit: RIP CBOAT. Creamsugar delivered goods. Xbone sold better than the PS4 and Wii-U combined.

Think they'll keep the $349 price point from here on out? It's definitely working for them.

now the age of "insiders" is over 

[Himu]

Fuck yes, go xbone

[thisismyusername]

Black pies and white pies with no explanation? 

These fuckers need to get over themselves with this insider bullshit. If you know something just post it and stop slowly e-jerking plebs. If you can't say much then don't say anything, dumbasses.

Creamsugar is doing it to "protect myself from NPD" which begs the question: If his account is so hot, why not ask 'Lore for a different one each month for NPD? Then have the account nuked after the NPD thread?

[Trent Dole]

Fuck yes, go xbone

But it's a weaker machine

[Human Snorenado]

Fuck yes, go xbone

*digs up himu's extensive post history shitting on the xbone*

[AdmiralViscen]

That wouldn't help. Like cartographers, NPD gives out slightly falsified information for specific pieces of info so that they can track leaks. So the first time he posts something too specific they know the IRL identity.

[Himu]

Fuck yes, go xbone

*digs up himu's extensive post history shitting on the xbone*

At this point I just want to see ps4 fans cry because they're so obnoxious. i don't care about either one but I sure as fuck get some laughs out of all this either way. Let both burn

[tiesto]

Well, I bought a PS4 this past November, though I'm not too surprised that Xbone topped it in sales. Even though I'm probably not ever gonna get one, $320 for a bundle with Sunset Overdrive was a good deal. And Forza Horizon/Sunset Overdrive are definitely better than the PS4 exclusives so far (where the fuck is my new Wild Arms, or where the fuck is Last Guardian, Sony?)

[Human Snorenado]

Real talk- Weeeeeeeeoooooooooo has better exclusives right now than either of the actual next gen systems.

...and the wii u exclusives aren't very good, either.

[Tasty]

npd summary:  xbox outsold ps4.  wii u is dead.

Weeeooo did 10% better than last year. Not sure YoY growth counts as "dead." Software sales up 90% too (almost exclusively due to Smash probably.)

ORAS demolishing every other single-system SKU after only 10 days on the market.

[Human Snorenado]

10% better than "extra strength dead and irrelevant" is still "dead and irrelevant" it turns out

[Joe Molotov]

In 10 years, Wii U is gonna be beasting at this rate.

[Tasty]

10% better than "extra strength dead and irrelevant" is still "dead and irrelevant" it turns out

Irrelevant, sure. But if something has a steadily improving pulse that's not "dead."

Maybe comatose.

[benjipwns]

(where the fuck is my new Wild Arms, or where the fuck is Last Guardian, Sony?)

What does it say that I consider the hypothetical former more likely than the already announced latter.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Gz to MS for dropping price 170 bucks in a year, pack in games and still be millions behind PS4.

A "pulse" on a dead body is still a dead body, dude. You can get the blood flowing, but the heart muscle is stopped/dead/rotten/whatever you want to call it.

i don't understand why one "insider" got banned and the other didn't when they both gave context-less possibly bullshit posts

sales arguments are so dumb.  there's literally nothing to be invested in or concerned about with them considering exclusives are bought these days and no company's sales are "gonna have to discontinue the console" bad.

Bish has had a hard-on to ban buttocks for a while now. If buttocks screws anything up, he gets banned since Bish caught feels over "resolution-gate."

Creamsugar has the actual numbers, that's been pretty clear for a while.  CBoat...

Also:

If you don’t own a Wii U or a PC, and especially if you don’t tend to like indie games, then the year’s harvest of great games is undeniably the worst in living memory.

"This year was the worst ever for games! Unless you include PC. And Wii U. And Indie games. I mean, if you do that it was pretty good, I guess, but still!"

Usually leaked out quite close but since everyone got caught out by the pies, hard numbers didn't get noticed.

Xbone - 1.24 Million
PS4 - 840K
Wii U - 242K

No 3DS or Vita numbers except the Playstation TV which did 39K in it's launch month

[sarslip]

so much simpler to follow this thread than the gaf one

[Mupepe]

Agreed. I come here to get the basic facts. I try the GAF one but its all spergs predicting doom or spinning numbers with their own armchair analyst projections. Its really sad

[Eel O'Brian]

39k is surprising for Vita TV. Regular Vita does so poorly that could almost be considered a hit in comparison

[Purple Filth]

People Listening to Himuro on this and getting all rustled


while on topic MS crazy firesale actually had some effect and if the opposite was actually  true then i'm not sure how they could have parsed that.

Lets see December since iirc it was usually up to double of november numbers for each console.

[Take My Breh Away]

At least the doom prophecies here are usually based on Oscar dispensing facts. When he's around.

Oscar come home.
