That's right... knew there was a Phil at some point.
I bought a new PS2 from a walmart last year. Disrespectful yet oddly satisfying about sums it up
Wow..I honestly expected Xbone to beat PS4 in March with Titanfall, Sony cant be stopped right now. Still TF obviously sold very well and MS cant be that disappointed considering their console is putting up respectable numbers while costing 100 bucks more than PS4.
As for Wii U, if Mario Kart 8 doesnt make a huge impact on sales this summer then I think we can finally call it 100% dead. An MK8 bundle at the right price could REALLY sell a shitload of systems, I know thats what Im waiting for. $199.99 MK8 bundle about a month after the game drops would be perfect.

Part of me's glad the PSP's still selling, however another part of me's thinking "how are they still selling?!"
Does it even still get current releases?

Well 3 people per state bought one every day. I think that barely qualifies as "people still buying" something.
Then they got to make people want it. Or else, what exactly is the purpose of the Vita? Make a Vita/PS4 bundle already. Or here's a crazy idea.. Why don't they bring Vita TV to the west finally?
heres mine pretty close with ps4
[XB1] 380K
[3DS] 230K
[PS4] 380K
[360] 150K
[PS3] 170K
[WIU] 50K
I would be legit shocked if wii u did 300k in may.

Screw it I'm a thousand posts behind, I give up
Titanfall seems to have sold very very well if I'm reading the situation right
ISS did almost exactly as I predicted. Still great numbers for Sucker Punch
Dark Souls numbers are a bit disappointing I think, can't remember Dark Souls I numbers
Stick of truth did really really well though, also suggests 440k < ISS < 500k
Wii U is moving into dead place, Vita into being buried under dreamcasts shallow grave at this rate

Was this posted?
What you need to do, Larry, is go back in time and build a console that people actually want to buy.
Yeah, I guess since I moved on to the Vita I forgot about the PSP, but that's pretty spot on.

wtf you sure its less than 10k?
That's quite the range. Can't see it tripling or quadrupling it's usual 60-70k though.
In terms of pleasure-guilt, nothing will compare to the inevitable $100 Borderlands 2 Vita bundles on Black Friday 2014.

I think the last numbers Nintendo released was that it was at 1.5million and that was for 2013. It's probably closer to 2 million now. That's like a 1/3 attach rate
Great comeback.
I don't know, where are they? I didn't use the first Kinect so I can't speak on that topic. I just think a Kinect only title is going to usually suck. I would like an exception to this but there hasn't been one yet.

I know a few people set on getting Vitas waiting for the Borderlands bundle - I have a coworker who saw mine and said, "This is awesome, I want one!"
It won't be huge bump, but the interested parties know there's a Vita 2k bundle coming soon.
I don't think people understand how destructive/impractical a PS4/Vita bundle would be. What the hell do you price that thing at without losing money? How much will people/are people willing to pay for it? What about memory cards for the Vita? Is that included?
Vita TV..ehhh I'm not familiar with the set-top market enough to know if that'll make a difference.
Then there is no point convincing you if you possess confirmation bias like that.

assuming PS3>Wii U, you got 102.86 points before counting bonuses from units, which is pretty good, but not the best
i don't think the 3ds will outsell the psp in the us at this rate. and the vita may not hit 2m.

That's impressive.
Damn.
OT: This is a 10 year marathon with thousands of games, it's entirely too early to call this because we have nowhere near enough data.
Sorry. I guess it's a "little over" 10K, not less. Still horrendous.
It has a solid lineup that you need the console for, and I don't regret owning one. There are huge droughts inbetween the times I use it, but I've always had a great time for the games that get me to play it. Excited for Smash and Mario Kart even if there's no turning this boat around.

You expect them to:
1. Bundle the game, not at release, but a month later
2. Knock off $100 while including the game
Well alright then.

I don't think we know the PC vs XO ratio though for Titanfall sales.

Coming in real late anyone have summary of leaks???
How well the PSP sold everywhere was kinda surreal. In most places, the lineup was only marginally better than the Vita if we're talking about titles with mainstream appeal, yet it had bizarrely strong, sustained sales anyway.
nintendo never does the things that make the most sense

That's....a large range.
150K is doable though. But not much more than that I think.
About 3DW's attach rate, isn't it above 2.25 million now? (I forgot when this number was reported.)
And aren't there less than 6 million Wii Us sold?
Tough to say until we see what sort of effect the Vita 2000 has. May should inform of precisely how dead the Vita is
Retail Xbone vs. retail PC, dude? We're talking like 20:1 in favor of the Xbone.

No way rest of the world even comes close to matching npd numbers of xbone sold.

marginally better?
PSP had plenty of western support. It also got two GTA games, which are extremely popular in the west.
It is kinda useless to compare the sales of a handheld like PSP in a time when mobiles/smartphones weren't the norm unlike now.
It had 2 GTA games, Vita can only dream of something like that
