I suppose it will be very difficult to squeeze numbers out this month as well.



“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” - Bertrand Russell

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

Jimi Hendrix

 

Expecting huge numbers despite my conservative predictions.



For people who'll be watching NeoGAF for any leaks regarding numbers, these are their average predictions:

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - Feb-2016

1. PS4 - 368K
2. XB1 - 226K
3. 3DS - 107K
4. WIU - 54K

Sometimes leakers will simply say how accurate these were and which were too high and which were too low.



I have a bad feeling for Street Fighter....



when will the numbers appear ?

Actual numbers? Nobody knows, there's even a chance we'll never get them.

They probably won't. Neogaf seemed to go out of it's way to upset the well known legit leakers.

All console will be over that easy.

Amazon Feb 2015
PS4 10
XB1 11
Wii U 73
PS4 80
3DS 83

TLDR: Expect a bigger gap between PS4 and the rest.

Last year month for reference
Jan 2015
PS4: #9
XBO: #18
Jan 2016
PS4 COD bundle: #24
XBO Gears bundle: #48
New 3DS XL: #61

PS4 was up yoy despite 15 places down, XB1 was down 30 places and down YoY. 15 places differential with respect to shifts.
This month PS4 is down 3 places, expect to be up massively? XB1 is down 18 places, probably still down YoY. 15 places differential with respect to shifts. So I guess it might act the same as last month.
