I thought Helldivers was also coming in August..don't think it's been confirmed though
Needless to say ps4 will sell better than anyone else



I'm not sure I would call it impressive, but it's at least almost decent for august. Now, how good is "very well" for you?



Will Madden give any kind of HW boost in the USA?

Oh, I forgot about TLOUR, that will push some consoles.


NPD?!? So 350k-370k in only US? Are you sure about that? That would imply that if we take europe vs US trends right now, that PS4 will sell nearly 1 million in august. I think not.

Is it really that much of a stretch? In June the PS4 sold 270k and the game line up wasn't a patch on this.
