Very good performance from Zelda. PS4 will have an impressive March



Am I the only one that finds it weird that they added the last week of January instead of February?

I found it pretty weird too.

Why don't we have this kind of definitive tracking in other markets?

Probably because its the week ending February 1st. The Last week would be the week ending March 1st and therefore March's sales. I knowit looks really bad because its 1 day here but it goes both ways where some months will have just 1 day from the wrong month.

That's what I thought the reasoning was. Still fucking weird though



Playstation platforms seem to have a noticably stronger Digital-Physical ratio than Nintendo.

Other than that not many surprises on that list.

Would make more sense to have 1 day of March sales than 6 days of January sales though... surely?

No because then we end up with the same issue in another month some time down the line. You have to stick with a pattern otherwise you will end up with incorrect numbers. So you pick the first or last day of the week (in this case they chose last day) and stick with it as your month the whole time. Should they go back and change all previous months numbers to accomidate the change to first day of the week?? Of course not that would be foolish.
