Xenoblade drop very expected. Interesting to see PS4 in front without having even a single game in top 20. If that behavior continues my prediction is gonna be crushed :(

What prediction?

PS4 domination in Japan by 2016. If this "being crazy successful" thingy continues it's gonna catch the Wii U in 2015 already.

Your prediction should remain true, unless something crazy happens this holiday. If the PS4 averages 25k /week this year (up from 21k last year) then it will sell 25k * 52 = 1.3 million. If the Wii U averages 15k this year (down from 19k before this year) then it should sell 15k*52 = 780k. At the end of 2014 the PS4 sold 952,872 and the Wii U sold 2,134,786. That would put the PS4 at 952,872 + 1,300,000 = 2,252,872 PS4s and 2,914,786 Wii U's. 

The heavy drops after so many releases in Japan during March show us that the PS4 can't sustain sales above 25k after said releases during a normal time of year and that its baseline is something like 15-17k. During the holidays I can see it selling 30-40k / week, but I can also see the WIi U selling 18-25k / week.

Top 20: 14 3DS, 5 Wii U, 1 PSV. I wonder how the PS4 outsells the Wii U despite having 0 games in the top 20.

You see guys Japanese wiio u owners are filthy casuals who only play 3 games(mario, smash, and mario kart)
wii u party only sold well due to a bundle.
Wii U owners are a disgrace in terms of buying quality games over there(first zombie u, then lego city undercover, then bayonetta 2, now xcx(luckily it should be pass 100k lifetime)



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

That just goes to show that some of us who said that software isn't the main problem have been right all along. "Games sell consoles" is a truth with modifications and nuance.

It's already at 100k according to Famitsu. 

"Total: 100 123 This"

It should end somewhere between 100k and Xenoblade (Wii) sales life-time in Japan if we include digital as well (maybe 20k lifetime digital.)

The XenoBlade dropped is not worse than the BloodBorne dropped. 150k ----> 20k and 85k ----> 10k.
But of course, people say "DOOMED" for XenoBlade and succes for BloodBorne... seem legit...

Even if what you say is true, we already know BB numbers WW which is more than a 1m in 12 days.  We only have japan xenoblade numbers.  Also BB > xenoblade even in japan.

Harsh drop for Xeno! is 150k LT possible?

Definitely possible. Xenoblade Chronicles sold 158k in Japan lifetime according to vgchartz. 

82,083 + 20,983 + 11,850 + 7,206 + 5,075 + 2,956 + 2,468 + 2,123 + 1,713 + 1,611 

were the sales for the first 10 weeks. 

Right now XBCX is at: 

88,544 (more with digital) + 11,579 (more with digital)

Wow, a vita game outselling XCX is pretty sad. I expected more from that game honestly. Looks like PS4 is back above Wii U again too, nice.
