Impressed at PS4 numbers... it's a lot considering it's January, one of the worst months of the year. That said, I expected Wii U to be a higher than this... maybe Twilight Princess HD and Pokkén will help a bit.


January one of the worst months?
I don't think so. A lot consoles get a big push from Japan because the holidays start in Japan in January. And January is still the first month after the holidays, so there is still a little boost for the consoles in this month (especially early in the month).

Nah, only PlayStation systems get a boost in Japan during January; Nintendo consoles usually shrink. And that's about it. But once major games start to drop, sales usually get a little better. I'm sure Feb/March/April will be even better for PS4/XB1/WiiU. Not sure about the 3DS.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Very good week for PS4, good for XBOne. But the true outstanding week was the previous, it doesn't happen every week that PSV beat 3DS.

Ps4 winning almost 3-1 weekly now. I noticed ps4 is about to go 100m software units ahead of xbox and hardware it's around 20m behind 3DS already. Nothing stops this train.

I know this is something people will disagree with, but why do I doubt the PS4 is selling 300k a week? I mean think about it, it was extremely overtracked in the US in January (same with XB1 btw), and I doubt European tracking was much more acurate. 

 

XB1 is also the same, though not by nearly as much.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

While I agree that it maybe overtracked to a degree but just because US was way over last month that hardly proves it. Also, in regards to the European tracking it's likely the opposite. For instance, Germany is 300k undertracked as news broke of it passing 2.8M on Jan 21st. I think the overall 37.2M is spot on as a whole with some adustments needed to raise/lower certain regions.
