Man, Wii U.... It's only up 1k from the matching week last year.

Honestly I think it's gonna end up down YoY. It'll be up in the first half by a little bit, but after June it'll start going down, because it won't have MK8 to tremendously boost sales, and it won't have Smash Bros. either. Not looking good for the Wii U.

XBO outsell PS4 in UK... suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

They were at least releases in genres that had shown mainstream appeal before. Neither Demons Souls nor Dark Souls ever showed that.

I agree until Bloodborne and PS4.

A lot of guys that never played a Souls game is getting Bloodborne and liking it.

It will be the best selling From game ever.

Edit - How crazy am I?

Bloodborne NPD: 400-500k
EU + RoW: 200-300k
Japan: ~150k (already know and it is sold out... PS4 too is sold out sufering supply issues again)

Wii U seem undertracked in Europe, and Smash was nothing.

But i agree for Mario Kart...

Well it is techinically a new ip so it could be te next uncharted or last of us.

Well I always believed franchises can develope in the West like for example Monster Hunter is gaining traction in the west.

Plus I hear lots of stories and saw many people buy a ps4 with bloodbourne(saw 3 at gamestop buy it with blood XD)

Where the heck are PS Vita adjustments for February 2015?



Bloodborne is not as niche as for exemple Senran Kagura but still niche

That's my point too. If Smash couldn't boost sales, Star Fox and Xenoblade Chronicles X deffinitely can't.
