Amazon isn't that accurate of an indicator either, I've noticed that NPD and VGC numbers don't always mesh that well with Amazon's charts. The different fanbases tend to be slightly biased towards different retailers, for instance Xbox tends to be at it's strongest at retail locations (brick and mortar stores), especially Gamestop and Walmart. Playstation is at it's strongest on Amazon, and Nintendo is at it's strongest at Best Buy. At least that's what I've noticed over the past few years. To get the best picture you need to take into account all 4 US retailers who have video game bestsellers charts on their websites.

Amazon has a 100% record. You can't get more emphatic than that. PS4 won March. It's just a matter of by how many it won.

Bloodborne is NOT a system seller, period ...

I don't see hundreds of thousands of people rushing in to buy PS4s for a From Software game ...

Never said PS4 wouldn't win March NPD. That's pretty much a guarantee, Bloodborne is clearly selling consoles, no way to tell how many, but PS4 will likely be up over last month and last March. I'm just saying that Amazon's current rankings for Xbox One might not be 100% indicative of how well Xbox One is actually doing right now in comparison.

Amazon has never been used to see how well one console was doing in comparison with another (assuming you are talking about sales numbers), it's only ever been used to predict the winner for that month in the US.

We shall see then. The order was a system seller. An +24% ps4 sales increase in it's release week. If the weekly ps4 sales spike during bloodborne's launch week then you were wrong.

It will sell systems. I don't think many are buying the console for it, though. These have always been niche type games.



Bloodborne is not a system seller, but it will push a couple of extra PS4's for people who are fans of the Souls series. Its a definite contender for GOTY as most of the games have been. Demon Souls won game of the year from Gamespot I believe. I'm not expecting anymore than 2-2.5 million at best for this game to tell you the truth.



looking for the prove it's easy try to search on google and type this " Bloodborne is not coming to PC", "why Bloodborne is not coming to PC", "can from software make bloodborne to PC", "i hope bloodborne come to PC"
There are so many hardcore PC gamer that don't want to touch console but want to play this games, so i guess this exclusive truly bring some PC fan to buy PS4.

yes it is a system seller. A lot of people from the "master race" is becoming a glorious god gamer now.

What are the requirements for god gamer? because i have a high end gaming rig, all consoles, and make games for all the latest platforms and pc, do that count? :o

And if so, may i change it to Dog gamer?



Not sure really. Quite odd as well, since BloodBourne truly is entertaining to spectate. However, in comparison to other franchise canvases, the Souls fanbase isn't as planet busting as one would think. Even so, PS4s are going to sell better with such a game than without, but it will come down towards the attachment rate. For me, I guses we will have to wait and see.
