Possibly yes. I guess what he's saying is to not wave the home team's flag around so obviously

PS3 > 360? Haha called that in the prediction thread. One of the few who actually did!
It's pretty pathetic.
So it's only a problem if you're not ok with being pretty pathetic.

If Nintendo's marketing wouldn't be so mind bogglingly pathetic recently, they might have just kept a little of the WiiU momentum by letting people know that an exclusive Sonic game comes out today (? or pretty soon anyway, I'm not even sure lol).
It's already a pretty weak increase for a new bundle with price cut.

Man, if this is true, Killzone didn't really do much for the Vita.
It comes out tomorrow in the UK. End of the month in the US. Although a little blurb acknowledging Sonic's existence wouldn't have hurt Nintendo.
*facepalm.gif*
The game sold millions, like probably 8 million, and you think the 100k tops bundles PS3 sold makes a difference? The split is going to be similar to the UK which puts the 360 version well over 1m ahead, if not more.
This is just a usual September bump. Every month till Dec goes up and up.
That's why I posted in the 93k Wii U thread that we'd need to see the other platforms since by comparison the Wii U still did horrible.

+33k doesn't mean it's close to 33k, just that it sold more than that.

no one really expects killzone to help the vita though. only the sony core gamers care about that franchise.

At a >2.4x weekly average increase in sales, this puts the $50 Wii U price cut as the best in recent memory in terms of a percentage increase in home console sales due to a price cut - even beating the PS3 Slim revision.
But at a ~19K units per week average, it still around the worst weekly average the $599 PS3 ever had.

-Wii U up over 200% versus August
-PS3>360
-3DS #1 selling hardware of September
-guaranteed sadness for sales of Rayman Legends, Puppeteer, Wonderful 101
Oh wow....It's just for the 3DS to go from 130K to at least ~170-190K seemed like a lot because it had no big games unless I'm forgetting something. When it did 130K last month, it at least had Dream Team.
Christmas will be intesting.

I'd still be interested to know how sales compare to the Japan sales.

Expect at least 4M copies of KZ:SF to be sold.

What about digital copies which aren't tracked? Just curious as I know it was available digitally day one on PS3, but it's not available on 360 digitally is it? Not sure how big of an impact that would have, as not sure how many people bought it digitally, but I would assume at least a decent amount.
Oh okay, how much more do you think we might we be looking at though?
I'd really like some solid numbers

Wait a moment:

Doesn't this imply Wii U sales would be double August 2013 (31K) sales? Why did IGN say Wii U sales were only up 100%?
This is probably just a typo, but I thought it was interesting.

I'd like to see actual week over week numbers. My guess is the sales were more or less non existent the first 3 weeks of the month. Next month will be pretty interesting. November moreso.
Nope. Poster history etc
Killzone is a franchise that when given a big marketing budget has struggled. Killzone: Mercenary did not receive any real marketing in North America, nor does it have a bundle available. Clearly SCEA has checked out with Vita.

Love the analogy. Phil Harrison == Russo?
I'm sure it's just a typo. I doubt Nintendo would flub their own numbers like that.

Nopes. I would consider anyone saying less than that to be joking.
Double a number is 200% of the original value, or an increase of 100%.
Hmmm...I'm starting to wonder.
62K or 93K.
Well, if it was 93K, shouldn't WW have charted? Pikmin did. That's what I was wondering.

Good chances are that the PS3 version is leading worldwide tho.
that average has been a consistent 7-8k a week for many months though, and there's no reason to expect the first few weeks of september for that average to have improved. to increase the average by the amount it did, post-drop numbers were comparatively massive.

that's assuming that all the incremental sales can be given directly to the price drop

On the basis of what? I'm a fan of the series but I can't see 4m based on franchise history imo . 2m maybe
They did have those limited edition pokemon XLs, but that's still impressive numbers with no notable releases.
I believe the franchise sold around 3mill each on the PS3 right? If so I can see maybe with some bundling etc it can happen on the PS4. But it could just as easily not happen
Just like Prince Vultan seems to be invested one way, you seem to be invested in the complete opposite.
