Wow. Legit shock

 

[Odrion]

As someone who was proclaiming that Titanfall was going to turn the tides, I'll gladfully eat all the crow I deserve.

 

[civilstrife]

I hope we get the Kinect jettison. I have literally have dozens of posts saved up for crow-serving from the people who insulted me for even considering the Kinect might be dropped from the package as a viable future XBO strategy

I really hope there is somebody in your life whom you love and trust to tell you that this isn't healthy behavior.

 

[Calibus]

I wonder though how much an official price drop will really help, though. Even with an "unofficial" price drop, PS4 still won out. And Titanfall has already come and gone with Halo a long ways off.

 

[andromeduck]

I wonder what this does for Titanfall as a franchise, though. By default, doesn't it become less valuable now as a series someone would want to buy exclusivity for?

they go multiplat - maybe even PS4 + PC exclusive on next-gen inf they're cash strapped

 

[Rolf NB]

Can I destroy the internet?

If you pay for it.

 

[AdanVC]

Absolutely impressive that PS4 is leading hardware sales once again considering it still has a pretty average library of games, honestly. That's why I haven't bought one yet... Waiting for E3 to see what they announce for the holidays and stuff. Either way, good for Sony

 

[LiquidMetal14]

You guys don't need to double check me, I'll just say this- I'm eating Pizza and ....

..
...

PS4 @ 60k more .

 

[warthog]

Wow and haha.

 

[RE_Player]

EA should have been smart and made Titanfall on PS4. Throw Xbox One timed or exclusive content but they shouldn't have made the whole thing exclusive. They missed out on sales and building a brand.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Ps4 ups the stock and manages to do ~370k with inFamous?

MS desperately wanted to win this NPD and just couldn't.

 

[Namikaze]

So PS3 sold like 40k?

More like 400k (370K is the number we have from thuway).

 

[Hawk269]

I thought the 360 had some supply issues a few months after launch

It did. It was supplied restraint for a good while after launch.

This topic is incredibly fun but I have to point something out being a GAF watcher for many years.

PlayStation family and Xbox family. It's funny that both companies have used the same exact spin.

Shipped to retailers = Sold. Again, both companies have used the same spin. It's funny to watch people say it's a bad thing when the other team does it.

And here's the one I've been waiting to mention...

How do we know the Sony numbers are legit? I'm not talking about NPD, but their WW numbers. Back in October 2013 we were told that Sony would be combining PS3 and PS4 numbers as they did with the PS3 and the PS2 for several years. (Source)



And that's just the thing, they don't sort them out elsewhere. In their recent financial reports its always a combined number. So how do we know they're telling the truth about their WW figures? There are no other sources.

Sorta makes you go "huh."

I'm glad I could contribute something interesting to such a fun thread. I'm ready for the slings and arrows.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Microsoft is going to come into E3 like a cornered, wounded animal. I expect more big announcements from them than we have ever seen before. They pretty much have to if they want to save the ship as it is taking on water.

 

[viveks86]

I disagree. 5 million consoles in 6 months is not bad at all. The PS4 is just selling extremely well.

Of course it's not bad. This generation is going to be awesome with both consoles doing so well. But do you honestly think MS is content being second on their home turf? The price has to drop. They are out of options at this point.

 

[J3ffro]

There's a lot of funny in this thread, but this was what broke me. Well done sir.

 

[LiK]

DARK SOULS 2 IS THERE. YESSSSSS

 

[Joeki11a]

No wonder they were soo quiet about TF sales
I figured If xbone would be first they would
Give credit to TF impact.

Scary part is you can hardly find PS4, when it becomes common to find one at Retail thats when the shook factor really goes legit.

 

[Tubie]

Thank you for this!

If I were MS I would do something similar to what they did with the original Xbox. Lower the price and bundle 1-2 games, something like Console+Kinect+KI+Forza for $400.

I might bite if they do a ridiculous bundle like that.

 

[Shmuely Bully]

So are we thinking Xbone is still below 5M worldwide?

This was their big gun, if they can't beat PS4 this month things aren't going to be pretty for them, at least until they can get out a numbered Halo game.

 

[G-Bus]

Saw this in another thread.

Dont care for numbers but holy crap some of these GIFS. Amazing.

 

[valouris]

Meanwhile at Nintendo...

 

[SwiftDeath]

You guys are going kind of over board here. the xbone in no way failing or in need of saving at this time.

The chalkboard is always hyperbole as its intended to be. That being said, XB1 had a 40k increase in March over February [March was 5 weeks versus 4 weeks in Feb btw] and titanfall launched so there is ample reason to be worried about the system

 

[Amir0x]

The fact that you keep that information just seems sad. Really sad. I feel sorry for you man.

I prefer not to keep myself in ignorance. These people claimed that I was insane for suggesting it, and often told me to quote the post in the future when it happens. It's all in good fun, but I intend to throw the darts at the wall and get my entertainment. Since that is ALSO fun.

The fact that you find it sad is hilarious to me as well, so that is also fun. Thanks for contributing to my fun bank

 

[M.D]

Do we have any idea how much Titanfall and Infamous sold?

Infamous being second is kind of impressive considering it came out on March 21, but if we don't know the numbers it means nothing

 

[Yasir]

I think the question now is if MS will still fight for Titanfall 2 exclusivity.

Back to COD dlc exclusivity, and Fifa, and Battlefield. lol

 

[Tariz]

Jesus.. pretty sure even the biggest PlayStation fans didn't expect for it to win this month. Return of the king

 

[Balmung421]

Meanwhile at Nintendo...

LOL

 

[Miles X]

Is the 60k the lead PS4 has or WiiU sales?

 

[Vibranium]

I hope we get the Kinect jettison. I have literally have dozens of posts saved up for crow-serving from the people who insulted me for even considering the Kinect might be dropped from the package as a viable future XBO strategy

The Age of Kinect is done.

 

[sphagnum]

Wii U, still best selling in our hearts!!!

Spoiler

Congrats Sony

 

[pelican]

It's over, period. Microsoft lost their last ace, and that's the end of their Xbox One hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Xbox One. .

What a lot of bollocks.

Writing off a complete console line after less than 6 months on the market. I am afraid your post is nothing but hyperbole.

Quick question - Did you also right off the PS3 after 5 months on sale due to the slow launch, lack of quality titles and struggles with 3rd party game parity especially with the UE3 engine?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

OK I gotta admit, THIS surpassed me. I wouldn't call it earth shattering news by any means, but definitely not expected. If I were at a Casino last month and they were taking bets for who would sell the most in March, I definitely would've bet a major amount on XB1 and I'm NOT the gambling type.

Like I said, no megaton, but a major surprise regardless. Either way, I am sure it doesn't matter to much, since I'm sure MS sold really well too and probably nearly as much, like last month.

 

[Donthizz#]

So Bish knew, that sneaky bastard, haha. Should have spilled the news before going into his bunker.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Sooooo...how about the Wii U?

 

[Dead]

So are we thinking Xbone is still below 5M worldwide?

This was their big gun, if they can't beat PS4 this month things aren't going to be pretty for them, at least until they can get out a numbered Halo game.

if they are proclaiming 5 mil shipped...then yes.

I think anywhere from 4.1 to 4.5 is a good guess.

 

[ypo]

We’re also happy to share today that more than 5 million Xbox One consoles have been sold-in to retailerssince our launch.

teh lol, sold in to retailers.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Meanwhile at Nintendo...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

wait wait wait. I just saw this on facebook.

Breaking news! NPD confirms PS4 is #1 in console sales for March. Thank you!

does that mean what I think it means?

 

[Rebel Leader]

PS4:

 

[alr1ght]

Do we have any idea how much Titanfall and Infamous sold?

Infamous being second is kind of impressive considering it came out on March 21, but if we don't know the numbers it means nothing

Infamous is over a million worldwide. No US numbers.

 

[Joe_Incognito]

Awww. I was kinda hoping for a serious reply. (The gif did make me laugh.)

You have to admit those are all very interesting points, especially the stuff about double standards and combined sales figures.

 

[bishoptl]

Hey fellas

 

[DryvBy]

So what's it just in the USA? PS4 or XBO?

There must be hyperbole.

 

[iceatcs]

It is really bad, even with one week extra than last month and xbox one down sales rate from last month. Titanfall only keep the pace but it isn't system seller at all.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

$400 kinektless sku cometh.

Haha.

 

[Jburton]

So is it safe to say that EA made out better on the Titan Fall exclusively deal then Microsoft? I still wonder is it was worth missing out on potential PS4 sales for what ever Microsoft paid them.

Nope, they lost out big time.

TF2 if it gets made (it will) will be truly multi platform.
