"Pachter: The Order 1886 Could Sell 5 Million By 2015 End, 10-12 Million If Sony Opts For A PS4 Bundle" . Did this guy still working on Gametrailers?

nope. but he was apparently doing his pach-attack show for free anyways

 

[RayearthRob]

So... Ps4 or 3DS?

In Pachter's defense, this could become true if The Order were a good game.

 

[RootCause]

And that's what we'll see!

It'll outsell Pikmin as a result ;.;

Hope that doesn't make nintendo abandon Pikmin in the future.
Really happy to see Bloodborne up there. Amazing game, easily goty(imo).

 

[EmptySpace]

square enix might be expecting type 0 to sell 10 million.

 

[phanphare]

I hear polygon is hiring

Revenue from last year.

''The big drag on revenue was definitely new hardware sales, which were down 21 percent from $393.4 million in March 2014 to just $311.1 million this year.''

So considering how Xbox One has seen price dop from $499 to $249 it's not exactly surprising.

Uhh yeah you obviously don't know what your talking about since the xbox one has never been sold for 249 dollars especially in the US.

More like-0 million...

 

[Mpl90]

So... Ps4 or 3DS?

Well, Sony doesn't consider handhelds in their PR, and this is why, despite them saying "PS4 1st, cumulative leader in US and WW", 3DS was first. But, this month, considering 3DS is 260,000 < x < 270,000, unless something very strange happened, PS4 is higher than that. I think a lot higher than 300,000 as well.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Final Fantasy brand is badly damaged and FFXV MUST be extremely good for the franchise to continue in it's current high-budget way. I wish the best for Square Enix, but it's not looking too great right now regarding the franchise, unless they want to make FF MMOs and lower-budget spinoffs of the brand, which might not really be a bad thing

 

[Trogdor1123]

Or more knowing them...

 

[Bishop89]

Ms pr sounds like they are competing with themselves, and not sony -.-

 

[Manmademan]

Type-0 was a pretty cheap remake. Outside some minimal camera work and the dub, you basically got something you could have gotten by bumping up the resolution on a PC emulator. I can't believe that it wouldn't cover costs with a mere 300K sales between America+Japan, though knowing SE's management style who knows. But it is an original Final Fantasy game on platforms that have a decent installed base and no competition in that genre.

There is likely a VERY high overlap between BloodBorne fans, and Final Fantasy fans. Even though BB is action oriented, it's still an RPG.

It launched with a extensive demo of Final Fantasy XV, and while that might not have been much on its own, a demo 1/10th the length of Final Fantasy VIII managed to help sell Brave Fencer Mushashi in the West.

Brave Fencer Mushashi was in 1998. The demo disc it came with was for FFVIII, a game that followed up (an eventual) 10 million seller, and the game itself did 8+ million. JRPGs will never, ever hit those levels again imho. different era.

Type 0 was simply not worth what SE was charging for it, and Genre fans were all feverishly (heh) waiting on bloodborne.

He made a typo, its so obvious he meant 349.

 

[Mass Effect]

if it bothered you i'm sorry.

Sorry it's just a pet peeve of mine when people quote long OPs unnecessarily.

It also makes it more annoying to scroll through threads on mobile

 

[Ray Down]

So... Ps4 or 3DS?

Ps4 duh....

 

[Kriken]

I hear polygon is hiring

I don't see a second part labeled "Number of Playstation Consoles Made"

Rejected

 

[Mpl90]

Ms pr sounds like they are competing with themselves, and not sony -.-

Nope, the competition with Sony is real. Remember how Sony spinned November sales by using Amazon Black Friday charts?

 

[IAmRandom31]

I would of gotten Type 0 if it was like $30 or something, but $60? Smoking some serious shit.

Went ahead and got if from Gamefly instead

 

[Pezus]

So... Ps4 or 3DS?

PS4. Last month was an anomaly due to new 3DS launch

In that sense the sales can't be anything but a warning sign of franchise and perhaps genre fatigue, and SE would be right to be worried about the game's performence going forward. Especially as stylistically Final Fantasy XV looks quite similar(character designs, project head). They might have to rethink the way they intend to promote it.

Yeah, I think SE need to be careful. I think people were looking forward to XV but didn't want to pay $60 for the demo. ( I trying to my best at a decent replay)

typ0

 

[ascii42]

Why did you leave out dreamcast?

Haha. It's there. 0 degree angle.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

That's because of Europe.

Yeah I realized that, but I remember US launch PS4 was greater than Xbone users before Europe launch, and during American timezones, Xbone should be more when Europe is sleeping (if they sleep), but that hasn't been the case.

 

[Grimgrillz]

Waits patiently for the hardware numbers...

 

[mreddie]

Very impressive month for all three platforms. It's already safe to say MKX will top the list next month?

 

[mephixto]

1.) Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC)

That's surprising, don't more people play Battlefield on PS3/4 (online)?

Also, yay! Bloodborne.

Besides Hardline there was nothing to play on the MS side, PS4 had Bloodborne.

 

[Primethius]

Very impressive month for all three platforms. It's already safe to say MKX will top the list next month?

Easily.

 

[mazpratim]

So is it pretty much set in stone that PS4 will be number 1 this generation in the US?

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

I hear polygon is hiring

lol

 

[Jigolo]

Besides Hardline there was nothing to play on the MS side, PS4 had Bloodborne.

And MLB, and Type-0, and Hotline Miami 2

 

[ec0ec0]

From the OP:

Notes:
-Mario Party 9: 290,000 (Digital + Physical)

We're already at Mario Party 10

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Yeahhhh Bloodborne babyyyyy. Take more risks big publishers!!

 

[privitsan02]

XB1 will win next month. I mean, I should... Price cut...???

 

[Schnauzer]

So is it pretty much set in stone that PS4 will be number 1 this generation in the US?

I'll have to consult with my magic 8 ball, but it seems like outside of the "Holiday Season" that might be the case.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

So is it pretty much set in stone that PS4 will be number 1 this generation in the US?

It depends on how much money microsoft is willing to lose.

 

[A.J.]

I imagine PS4 has the next 2 months in the bag with MKX and Witcher 3 trending in its direction.

 

[N.Domixis]

So is it pretty much set in stone that PS4 will be number 1 this generation in the US?

Yes, ms may win the holidays but after that its sony back to winning.

 

[ElTorro]

No Pie Charts?

 

[waitwhat42]

Change the title

Spoiler

jk

Interesting...

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Final Fantasy brand is badly damaged

How are people deducing this from the sales of 2 sequels nobody asked for, an MMO, ports and a remaster of a 4 year old PSP game?

We have yet to see empirical evidence of this outside of chatter on internet message boards.

 

[Dougieflesh]

No

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

LOL Dammit El Torro.

 

[Elfstruck]

Sony has all months until October.

The usual "everything is doomed" mentality.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I think when it's all said and done, the XB1 will be number one in the US by a few million.

Amazing

 

[Toki767]

I think when it's all said and done, the XB1 will be number one in the US by a few million.

Based on what? Fire sales during the holidays?

 

[Chobel]

LOL, remind me of this

There's a reason for no one asked for this sequels.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Why do you think that?
