Oooo.

 

[jaina]

Oooo.

Is that low or high for November? I assume low for Nintendo holiday sales?

 

[Welfare]

Damn that is a drop.

Almost Wii U territory

For comparison, it did 515k last year.

It it's indeed what looks like then that's not good for November.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

I read that CEO of Crystal Dynamics - Darrell Gallagher left. Is that true?

Straight to a job at MS waiting for the TR firesale buyout /jk

 

[Welfare]

3DS 350k

MoM rise was 213%

YoY drop is 32%

Weekly average

October: 112k / 4 weeks = 28,000

November: 350k / 4 weeks = 87,500

Will clear 16 million by the end of the year.

How come yokai watch at 50-75K after 1 month is bomb and ROTR ~200k after 1 month is a bomba?

 

[Pennywise83]

Those 'bundled' sales weren't tracked so while Splatoon is higher, we don't know by how much tho.

They weren't tracked because they were not sales.

Yokai even debuted on a system with a much higher install base!

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Hard to find among all the pages, especially when one can't search for it.

Can't believe the Wii U got lapped by the Xbox One, too. That's rough.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Just curious, but what modbot referring to this thread when he locked this one:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=189512738&postcount=110

Because I couldn't find another thread on GAF that commented about the rumour regarding SE delayed the PS4 version. I did it because it went under the radar for those who don't talk in the NPD thread and though it'd be useful to carry the conversation in a dedicated thread there :/

Nope. But I also haven't put millions of dollars into something.

I once got over 200.000 views on a youtube movie, so not at all, no.

Yoo, I once made a fan game and two videos of that game by other youtubers got 2.2 mil and 800k views. I was jealous, that'd be like several hundred of easy dollars from YouTube monetization lol.

3DS vs PSP race remains close again this year. 3DS will be also down yoy if december follows same yoy drop as november compared to last year. It seems the boost New3DS gave during the start of the year will not be enough after all.

What do I win? (Then again it wasnt my money but I worked on the budget.)

 

[CosmicQueso]

Current PS4 can run VR with no problems just don't expect high end GFX.

Apparently not.

As we learned earlier this year, the PlayStation VR headset doesn't plug directly into the PlayStation 4. Instead, it plugs into a processing box, which in turn plugs into the PlayStation 4. This allows people to use the TV and PS4 to interact with, or just watch, the person playing their VR game.

The black box looked a bit smaller than a Wii and is used to process the VR graphics and sort out the second-screen social experience on the television.

Someone tell me again how a new version of the PS4 with this add on processing box for VR built in isn't a good (inevitable) idea?

Okay, this info changes perception a lot. VR-Helmet plus uglybox plus PS4 vs. VR-Helmet plus shiny new PS4slim+.
I think for many this would be a reason to update, especially when the PS4slim+ can enhance non-VR games, too. Like better framerate or so.

I read that CEO of Crystal Dynamics - Darrell Gallagher left. Is that true?

It would be so funny if he reappeared in Redmond.

 

[Fdkn]

They weren't tracked because they were not sales.

They were as much 'sales' as any other official or unofficial bundle ever. They are units bound to a hw sale and assigned to a user account after the code is redeemed.

 

[Jigorath]

In Japan, Sony gave Bloodborne for free to anyone who was purchasing a PS4.

Yeah for like a month. It's not like the game didn't sell well on it's own. 2m WW so far.

 

[Blanquito]

Why have I never considered this possibility before? Silly me.

Though you do still have the potential for customer confusion -- "I have which version now? Do I need to buy the box or don't I?"

[Rand6]

How come UD ~275K after 3 months is good/impressive and ROTR ~200k after 1 month is a bomba?

275k with bundle? If true, this is disappointing...
Edit : sorry, I'm dumb lol, UD is for Until Dawn, not Uncharted.

 

[Fdkn]

275k with bundle? If true, this is disappointing...

what bundle? UD is Until Dawn

 

[Jigorath]

So 3DS is at 350k? Terrible. Nintendo fucked up by not having a major holiday release for the system. Maybe they expected Yokai Watch to be bigger.

What are the LTD totals for the PSP and NDS in the US?

 

[Pennywise83]

Yeah for like a month. It's not like the game didn't sell well on it's own. 2m WW so far.

Splatoon sold as much before bundles were released.

They were as much 'sales' as any other official or unofficial bundle ever. They are units bound to a hw sale and assigned to a user account after the code is redeemed.

They are free copies, though. The Japanese Splatoon bundle costs as much as buying the console and the game on their own - just with a small discount.

 

[Jigorath]

That depends of the grade of promotion the platform holder wants to make. I'm sure you remember many bundles from different platforms that had the same price as the system alone. I do. They were never discounted in ltd sales.

I think it's the weirdest "my exclusive vs yours" comparison I've ever seen.

[CosmicQueso]

I can't tell if the Bloodborne crowd are Missionaries spreading the gospel of good games or the most insecure people on the planet desperately seeking approval.

Though you do still have the potential for customer confusion -- "I have which version now? Do I need to buy the box or don't I?"

That's one of the benefits of doing this. "Of course you need this! You don't want an OLD PS4, do you? Get a shiny new one, like all the cool people have."

It's like console marketing 101.
