Do we actual have proof of supply strain or is that just a comfort statement?

XOne rise could have something to do with the UK price drop.

The UK was the 360s second biggest market overall and along with USA it was the market leader last gen.

Shows only a 2.3k rise in Europe versus 6.7k in the US.  I'm not really sure the rise makes sense when most of the sales momentum in the US seems to be in the Titanfall bundle.  Those sales shouldn't register until the week ending the 15th.

This ladies and gentlemen is why you can't trust pre-order data here.

Final pre-orders in USA for Tales of Symphonia Chronicles - 133,103
First week sales in USA for Tales of Symphonia Chronicles - 71,484


Well ... Not everybody rushes out to get a game they pre ordered on day 1. 

I though i was the only one who came up with that rational and sensible opioion !

so you think close to 50% of people that were so excited about a game that they pre ordered it didnt pick it up week of release, and that only stands if you believe no one that didnt pre order it picked up a copy, otherwise the percentage would be even higher. 

Just No. The Preorder chart is clearly crap.

No, not day 1 but certainly week 1. It was out on the 25th of Feb and this weeks sales are as of the 1st. Your telling me that close to half of the pre-orders for this game waited over 4 days to get it?  Highly unlikely.

Due to the heavy bundling for xbox one titanfall, i suspect their will be a soft rise and fall of console weekly totals rather than a sharp and high spike, will be back down to sub-60k within 3 weeks, and ps4 will settle in at 85-95k due to japan.

was a great try MS, it really was, but far short of a miracle, second place is your new goal.

PS4 won't go below 100k this year... in fact it will be close to 150k than 100k.

BTW I expect a rise in PS4 sales next week... over 170k WW.

It will raise next week because a number of retailers received very large shipments (US/CA) and EU retailers are receiving a shipment on 10th March.

It's pulling damn near 95k more than the competition regardless, Failing to see why it would be used as a "comfort" statement at this point.
