WiiU continues to fall, while PS4 continues to grow this month, which is unexpected since PS4 lost a big game where WiiU's biggest game XenoBlade, got more hype. XB1 crashed really hard this month, but it's likely because the small share of fans just didn't vote last time and not a loss of hype. 3DS also fell, which was expected with Zelda and Monster Hunter releasing in February.
For April, expect PS4's portion to fall with Bloodborne releasing. 3DS will also likely fall as well with Codename STEAM gone. WiiU probably won't overtake the lead, but if enough Zelda fans are angry about Zelda being #2 it might.

Atlus exploded last month after new footage/information was presented for Persona 5. Other then that, Microsoft fell by quite a bit, and the rest stayed about the same. Expect Microsoft to bounce back a bit for next month, and Sony might go down with Bloodborne leaving, which will help everyone else.

So this month is interesting because JRPG's gained a huge amount at the cost of Action-Adventure and Shooters. This is partly because of more votes for games like Persona 5 and Fire Emblem if, but it's also because a lot of Zelda fans didn't vote last month, but XenoBlade still held strong. Strategy also went up with Codename STEAM releasing in March.
For next month, anything can happen. Strategy will likely drop hard, and WRPG's might grow with Witcher 3's release date approaching, but lets see.
