Forums - Sales Discussion - USA SW / WW Hardware - week ending 14th June

PS: Anyway, seeing again some vitality in both MS and Ninty is a good sign, Sony now must wake up, because PSV must do a lot better and PS4 slipped below 100k, it can't rest on its laurels now that its competitors woke up.

Xbox one still not officially out in most of europe and asia, bad move from Microsoft.



My God. Why do people keep harping on about PS4 being slightly below 100k? Read my previous post. It's not a big deal.



Finally got around to updating OP with global software :P

We must split the issue in two parts, one is a problem and the other isn't:

1) PS4 is still the best selling home console and it has decent sales, so from Sony's point of view this week, despite far from being a very good one, is still a satisfactory one. Same applies to 3DS, just above 100k.
2) OTOH, that the home console leader doesn't even reach 100k, and the portable leader is just above that threshold, is worrying for the gaming industry overall.

NB Up until now it's just a week, so you're right, it's still too early to worry, but should such bad weeks happen again, dragging the baseline so low, we should start worrying. Luckily Wii U and XBOne managed to get out of the swamp where they were bogged down, this should help giving the market overall some breath.
