The PS4 numbers should stay at around 145-150k each week from here on out.



Around the Network

So I guess my prediction of PS4 200k average weekly in January may be in trouble :-/



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Bad week overall.

3DS is flat YoY which is good (btw last week was adjusted and the 3DS is on top again, sometimes I think ioi is just doing this to fuck with us)
PS4 still strong but down, I wonder how many consoles they're holding back for the japanese launch right now.
X1 doing a Wii U2 in continental europe, needs new countries
The rest is meh or horrible.



ouch

Wii U > 360, interesting.


Well MS forgot 360.For now on,Xbox 360 will be a "multiplatform machine".Think about it,Why should you buy a 360? PS3 have a lot of JRPG exclusives(including the mighty Persona 5) and Wii u have Mario kart,Donkey Kong and Smash Bros.What Xbox 360 have?

After seeing all the mobile numbers lately, this pales in comparison.



Interesting how quick 360 fell off the map,.



Ps4 missing the top D:



No single console selling spectacular numbers, this is the problem when the old generation is still somewhat strong overall, hell; the PS3 is breathing down the neck of the One.

People who were raving on about PS4 possibly selling 8 million by the end of March need to take their pills, Japan launch will cause a nice global spike for a week or two but the incredible Wii or PS2 like momentum won't be there for the first whole year sales (or the 2nd or any other for that matter). I mean, supply problems be damned; this just isn't the new PS2.

3DS more or less flat but I expect it to start declining yoy on a global basis at least from the start of Q2 and onwards and sell a couple of million less for 2014 than in 2013.

Wii U up about 10k yoy, or roughly 26-27%, still not really going anywhere but I am expecting it to be up yoy for 2014, by some measure at that.

The One should never have launched with Kinect, it not only packs some fudge on the price; it also causes a bipolar image problem and has yet to be justified as a gaming device at all. I just can't imagine that people will want to pay 100$ more for voice commands in the OS and video chats you could have on any smart device already owned.



How are those PS4 sales in a historical context? (Just a rough good or bad?)

Wii U makes anything look good.
