Could type o give a bigger hardware boost in the united states than Bloodborne?  

I think it definitely will boost the PS4 more than Bloodborne thanks to the FF name (and the fact that we're now past the XIII trilogy). As for the X1, whatever boost it will receive will be relatively miniscule.


After finding out ps4 sales are undertracked on here by about 400k this year I'm pretty confident sales will be excellent right through the spring all the way to batman and the witcher.  Hopefully it doesn't go down to low for July and August before metal Gear solid gives it a massive boost to kick-start the summer.

Tearaway Unfolded and Until Dawn are confirmed for summer. There will also be a few niche retailer gamers like J-Stars, One Piece, & Godzilla and indie titles like Rime, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, & No Man's Sky may be out during the summer, too.

I think FF Type 0 will push more PS4's than TO and Bloodborne combined. It's 11th on the list and still 2 weeks to go. Bloodborne will likely have no effect on hardware until a day or 2 before release, but by then FF Type 0 will already be on the market and shifting enough hardware that any effect Bloodborne has will be almost lost in the noise. FF week will have higher hardware sales than Bloodborne week, so I expect some people to take the opportunity to claim Bloodborne is a disappointment.

Xb one is moving up the list. The +1 controller bundle is a very good deal for $349. 

Looks like Wii U could be headed for a >100K month in the USA.

The Order will be gone from the top 100 in the next few hours. We won't see it again until there is a price cut, and even then we might not see it.

Hope so.

15,750 avarance in January.

20,000 for break 100k in March.

March will be a 4 week NPD month I think, so it needs to be 25K average,

Wow that launch date for MGSV has had an immediate effect. 75 on the list already and 6 months to launch. I'm sure it will drop out again.

The Order stubbornly holding on in the 90s. Perhaps it's found its medium term level and won't drop too much over the next few weeks.

Has the Feb monthly list received its final update? It looks like nothing has changed since the update just before the end of the month. We don;t have a march monthly list yet, so perhaps the final Feb update is still to be done.

Given Wii U isn't officially sold through Amazon (why is that?) does this mean Wii U's current position on the best seller list is likely to be underestimating its performance relative to PS4bone, or does it not really matter that Wii U is not an official Amazon product?

PS4 at #04 and only bettered by 3 PSN cards. Bloodborne rising. It's going to be a BIG month for sales me thinks.
