Why would the Wii, DS, and PSP see 60+% increases this week.  The only Wii game in the top 75 dropped 10 spots this week.  It likely did less than 1k, yet Wii software sales overall saw a rise of ~18k.  I'm not sure if retailers in the UK even carry enough individual Wii games to make that number possible.  If Just Dance did 1k, and all the other software averaged 500 units, it would need nearly 100 different pieces of software selling.

The numbers also seem ridiculously high compared to the monthly estimates that jvm puts out.

The Wii nearly equaled the month of February this week, and the DS exceeded it.  PS3 seems like it is probably too high as well.  Also, while it is fine compared to these monthly numbers, the week on week figures for the Wii U seem odd as well.  Up about 5.2k when the only new release almost surely is under 2k, and possibly less than 1.5k based on Dark Souls PS3 sales last week.  Considering Rayman and DK dropped out of the top 75, and 3D World dropped 4 spots, I'm not sure where those sales are coming from.

I need Wii U to beat PS4 and XO for at least 2 weeks for my prediction.

Of course! Ther is no way after Ps4's march victory.This month will be a 100k mimimum gap on USA(VGC always undertracking PS4).I Expect 9 million PS4 sold on E3.

I'm not that optimistic.

8.5 million at E3 is my bet

Can't wait till the PS4 numbers are adusted again. Make believe fantasy numbers are fun for a day but I prefer to live in reality.

Wii 13,343
PSP 5,259
PSV -33,164
Wii U 0
PS4 50,837
Xbone -27,137

 

Even after the adjustments the PS4 is still undertracked


Of course it is, and I doubt it'll change, even when NPD comes around again and proves otherwise. It's absolutely ridiculous to have the X1 ahead when it couldn't even manage to do it in its biggest month with a free copy of its biggest game and copious price cuts.



Alby_da_Wolf on 24 April 2014

Very good SW, with excellent XB360, XBOne and PSV boosts, but meh HW, only XBOne has a decent boost.
PS4 holding well even in its first year after launch window is quickly eroding PS3 sales, lowering its chances to reach 100M, at least without a considerable price cut that position it in a market segment still untapped by it and unreachable by PS4 for many more years.
