Console Population and Sales (PS4)

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone knows how is going pre-sales in PSN store, and how do you think will be the success of sales and population in PS4.

I remember last year when Destiny was the most successful game ever in pre-sales, and i see that eso is doing the same amount of marketing in PSN store.
I am a little worried because ESO lost a lot of players since launch and had bad reviews last year. And i want it to be a successful game now that a lot was corrected and balanced.

Also, do you think that sites like ign and gamespot will re-review it now?

    Ive follow little bit of Amazon's best seller, from my experience ,they are definitely on track to get 1+ mill for both consoles. Xbox is way better than PS4. I wouldnt be surprised if Xbox do double. I throw 800k for PS4 and 1.4 mill for Xbox. Both consoles basically appeared in top 100 like 3 month before console launch. they are definitely doing ok.

    I'm sure at least both Son and Microsoft know how pre-sales are going.

    ZOS, may get reports after 15 to 45 days of the sale.
    Marketing plays a big role in sales, also focus on design to the intended customers.

    No one knows for sure but, definitely the game will have lots of reviews. BETA even had reviews but this game will probably launch very quietly and pick up in July - August.

    E3 is just right around the corner and so if the game is not marketed there, it will be drowned out by other titles. I'd expect Sony to market this during E3, but Xbox...I doubt it

    It's hard to say, I'm hoping it does well.

    While a lot of veteran PC players are very frustrated with the state of the game now it's actually in a great spot for a new player, if the game had launched in its current state it would have done better I think. Have to see how much demand there is on PS4.

    I do wonder what the population of transfers will be like too, might be pretty lonely at the top for a couple months.

    Amazon freaks in physical Box Sales. ESO has been on the psn for well over a month while it wasn't on live. I would assume ps4 numbers are much heavier on the digital sales than Xbox. I wouldn't trust analytics, which don't reflect digital sales. It'll be a bit before we get the sales numbers, if we ever do.

    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.
