Germany numbers up and still, they didnt fix thèm...

Perhaps for later..

Its just genreal logic. You could say that the 3DS outdid the PS4 in a given week but the data shows otherwise. If you are saying the 3DS spiked enough to outdo he PS3 for a week or two then you need to also say that the other weeks were even lower than expected to drag down the few big weeks.

Looks like PS4 should be at 1 million in UK before the holiday period really kicks off. Nice.

Ha ha ha.

No adjustments done, even though Germany alone warrants a fairly sizeable one.

If we were to assume that the deviation in Germany applies to the whole of Europe, it would mean 450,000 more units for PS4 and 130,000 fewer units for X1, meaning 9.3m for PS4 and 4.9 for X1.

Of course, that's not necessarily the case, but still something to consider. I think VGC failed to realise that the PS4 has been widely available since WD week for the first time in mainland Europe. I bet the baseline increased since then.

MK8's effect on Wii U still impresses, I didn't expect a single game to double sales for so long. I thought VGC was overestimating its effect but the last NPD showed otherwise, so well done. If these numbers are true, sales are flat WoW. A price cut before the holiday season with strong SW and it might do decent numbers this year (for Wii U standards, anyway).

The Xbox One still declining. It was at 49k before the price cut announcement and is at 55k this week. It might keep dropping too, so it doesn't seem the baseline has increased much if at all. It should help during the holidays though, $500 for a console for your kids is a tough sell. Still, this console has a huge identity crisis and is dead in mainland Europe. MS needs to focus on the US and UK and try to maintain the brand alive for next gen.

I too think Xb one and Wii U are both fairly well positioned for the holidays and may avoid having both their arses handed to them by PS4. But is avoiding an arse whooping and merely being well beaten really good enough? I think this holiday is when PS4 is most vulnerable so now is when Ninty and MS need to carve out a bigger niche for themselves for the generation. I reckon Ninty is looking slightly better placed to grab a larger segment of the market with a price cut and better software differentiation.
