watch dogs, mlb and mario kart all did good numbers this week.



Not bad at all Borderlands 2 PSV



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Mario Kart 7 4 week before coming: 34.000 (total: 114.000)

Mario Kart 8 4 week before coming: 38.000(total: 114.000)!!!


Mario Kart 8 returned to the level of 7!!!

I confirm my hypothesis, and for me will have more of 400,000 pre order only in USA before coming, minimum 300,000.

And maybe will outsell Watch Dog for PS4 first week in USA.

Globally on the other hand are convinced that sells more Mario Kart of Watch Dog PS4, because MK coming even in Japan, Watch Dog no.



I know most people are going to notice MK first but what I personally think is even more remarkable is The Shows performance. Those numbers are twice as high as last years and 2011s pre orders (2012 didn't chart I think)

So now I have to wonder if this'll also lead to equally higher first week sales, or if it'll just mean a higher pre order to sales ratio.

Watch Dogs doing well, too.

Nice MK8 numbers.

Good Watch_Dogs numbers also, exclusive marketing starting to pay off already it seems



Mario Kart 8 was 17k previous week, so that's a big jump - and it's the highest number of pre-orders in one week on the list. The Direct and bundles seem to be working. The 17k of last week was a big jump on the week before also - can't place if there was a specific reason for that?

Prepare for the reality that will be disappointment on all of the games releasing in the next 4 weeks....



Except Transistor.

 

Btw, what is Prey 2 doing there? O.o



Mario Kart revving it up...good to see.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Still surprised by the TESO sales (assuming these are correct). The X1 isn't a particularly MMO friendly system :/

I suppose TES is more associated with Xbox than PS, as well as the PS4 already having quite a few (arguably better) MMO's available.
