The PS4 dropped by 367 units from last week! It's in freefall! ZOMG DOOOOOMED!!!

In all seriousness, though, I think the PS4 has found its baseline. These numbers represent its eighth sales week, and for systems debuting outside the holiday quarter it has never taken more than two months to stabilize at a baseline. We might get a bit of a boost for the week ending the 20th due to FFXIV, but outside that I expect it to stay in the 10-15k range on average until the inevitable holiday boost.

nah, it will go bellow 10k.

It will start selling negative numbers, by the end of the year lifetime sales will be 0 in Japan.

Taxes killing until holidays.



vfguy on 17 April 2014

With a 3% tax increase, the PS4 is like $12 more expensive now. The lack of games, let alone Japanese games is a more likely culprit.

With the previous generation, there was backwards compatibility to fill out the game shortage. Halo 2 was the number 1 game on Xbox Live on 360 for quite a while after launch and PS3 offered Blu-ray playback as a distraction

With the generation before that, there was also backwards compatibility or people could at least use their fancy new console for DVD playback.

With this generation, there isn't much beyond games to do that consumers cannot also do on 50 other devices they already own.

I only enjoy Dengeki's software top 50 these days.  They've been tracking WiiU/Vita well below Media Create/Famitsu for quite some time now.  The latter is because they're not tracking VitaTV, but I have no idea the reason for the former.
