I wonder if those numbers are accurate? If so that's a very impressive number, though they also show the bone at 197k which is much higher than people were suggesting yesterday when Microsoft claimed double the May sales, that number would be almost triple.
FTYF
Good points, but I wouldn't be shocked if MS manages to pull ahead in one of the upcoming months. They almost tripled their sales from last month with the new SKU. We'll have to wait and see if they can keep the momemtum going. Anything can happen, but it will be tough. Im just happy to see all three consoles doing relatively well.
It is more like they were doing really bad in May. Other than Sony, MS and Nintendo are not meeting their expectation.
Looking at June's numbers in a vacuum is not an accurate way to look at things. The Kinectless Sku was announced in early May and preorders opened up almost instantly. (preorders don't count on NPD until the product ships) A more accurate view is to combine both May and June numbers then divide that number by 9, multiply that number by 4 and you get May numbers and multiply that number by 5 and you get June numbers. the 4 and 5 multiplyer being the number of weeks in each respective NPD tracking month.
Please stop calling it "the Quad"...
If some numbers floating around are accurate, ytd us sales Quad is only up maybe 400-500k, so MS has really closed the gap, but still losing monthly and the Quad market share keeps growing up at a slower pace.
Hahaha!
On GAF they have calculated the US gap to close to 700k, and how does one close a gap when they haven't won a month in 6 months? You would have to win a month for the gap to tighten.. the gap is only growing wider and worldwide Sony has nearly doubled the installed base of the bone.
True, but one big game could close a gap that size pretty quickly if timed right. With all the delays Sony has, it sucks MS couldn't have had Halo 5 ready for this holiday season. That would have gone a long way to close the gap in the US probably since Sony doesn't really have a big systems seller exclusive this holiday season--just stuff like DriveClub and LBP3. But now MS really has nothing much exclusive either as stuff like Sunset Overdrive is similarly not going to move a huge number of consoles. Maybe the Master Chief Collection will be a big system mover despite just being upgraded ports. *shrugs*
MS needs to release a $399 MCC bundle. That would be a huge seller for them and will no doubt put them back on top.
I cant wait to get my white one in September!
He called out the mod team and said some things about the site in general over in the Club Nintendo Deals thread.
Did it happen to be soft truths... like the site sucking (or not being the same in general) since 3.0?
He used to be a great poster but lately the only things he's has to say are A) Nintendo sucks and are going out of business tomorrow B) he really regrets buying any Nintendo products and plans on selling them soon and C) this site sucks compared to GAF and the mods suck. Basically everything he posted over the last few months can fit in one of those 3 categories.
This is also true.
I can't speak for the mod team since I don't have a beef with them. However, CAG isn't like how it was when I started coming here 6-7 years ago. I remember when flipping was looked down upon now it is part of some deals in the op. A lot of the old posters like IATCG and genyfuyung are gone, never to be seen again. I look at the game forums and see far fewer "gamenight" threads than before. Other threads like 3DS/DS and Retro can go days without a post. Posting activity is definitely down.
so after talking about how much better GAF is over CAG, he used the GAF method of making a scene and then requesting a ban?
Something like that. :lol:
Both are still slated to be added, but there hasn't been any update as far as I know. The Xbox One is getting 3D BD support in August, so I suspect the PS4 should be around the same time. Honestly I have no idea what's taking them so long especially since the PS3 has had it for a long time.
Depends on what you mean. If you're talking about download speeds then it's everyone. Sometimes mine will download a 5 GB file in under 30 minutes, sometimes it takes a 300MB file all of an entire hour.
