It's called Irony. In terms you might understand : it's like a company saying they are going to concentrate on a "gaming machine for gamers!". Then people buy it because they are suckered in by the slick marketing "#4thegamers". But then the story takes a sinister turn as zero games are released for the "gaming first!" console, and the only semi decent game gets pushed back into oblivion, and that's called irony. :laugh:

Goddamn that is a lot of bundles. What are those ones high on the shelf, Titanfall? Even so, "almost 10m" shipped can't mean less than like 8.5m actually sold through. So do we now have confirmation that the Wii U is back on track for the worst* console of the generation?


*worst is based 99% on pees and 1% on sales.

Too many variables to work off of shipped totals, although they should be pushing past WiiU in optimistic estimates.

You can't just assume Wii U is beaten, right now. Bayonetta 2 appears to have reviewed and sold well and then there's Super Smash Bros. We'll have to wait and see with the next NPD, but even last month Wii U was starting to see an uptick as people are realizing "Oh hey this little poo poo has got some interesting games (finally)."

How can it not. It's being sold with games for a good deal and had a re-release of its biggest title. No way PS4 wins November.

E: that being said, shipped doesn't equal sold so MS numbers are all a smoke screen.

Okay, so, I got an Xbox One rear end Creed Bundle, a 12-month Gold card, and Halo:MCC yesterday from Amazon. I played it for like 2 hours yesterday, and then turned it off. Tried to play it today, and apparently the power supply is hosed. I contact Microsoft and they said to just get it replaced by Amazon. I said "i'm not going to wait 3 weeks to get my Xbox back when it ended up being defective through no fault of my own without some sort of goodwill gesture from y'all."

He gave me a 1 month xbox live gold card.

So, I got $500 back from Amazon today which is pretty cool I guess. Anyways, who wants an Xbox Live gold card.

That still counts as two retailer-level sold-in transactions for Yusuf's purposes. Three if they count the phonecall.
