So Bioshock Infinite on PS3 had 216k preorders in US and sells only 219K first week. A high profile release with a 95 metacritic rating and only 3k people in the US bought it who didn't pre-order..hmmm.


More likely than not, the pre-orders were overtracked rather than Infinite being undertracked.

NPD will be interesting and very good opening for Luigi and Mystery Dungeon did better than I expected.
Good hold for Wii U in NA too.

Very surprised by Wii U EU figures. I don't believe them.

Awaiting NPD.

i'm confused. i though lego city launched in europe in this weeks numbers yet i'm seeing no bump in hardware and no software sales either..

what did i do wrong?


Wii-U is actually down 1k in Europe on last week's numbers.

Vita is up 1k in NA and 2k in Europe.

I genuinely have no idea what is going on here anymore.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Seriously, no reason for a Vita increase in Europe, aside from Easter maybe? But that would boost all systems...

WiiU got adjusted down 1k last week.
That's what I observed. For the rest wait for ethomaz.

nor i.. it's like lego city was completely forgotten about.

Those EU numbers are 100% wrong.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

PS3/360 still have very impressive sales for what are frankly ancient systems by console standards.

3DS still selling well in Japan, but I'd say underperforming in NA/PAL.

WiiU numbers are up! I'm surprised. Apparently on the strength of Lego City as I don't see MH3U on the list. Still very low overall but at least is should finish the quarter a smidge over PS3's sales from it's launch and save some face.

That was all last week.

does easter boost hardware now?  i'd have to look at the data but from what i remember easter has never caused a noticeable boost before..
