I expected ~40k for Zelda and ~70k for Division.

Good to know both did well.

Man The Division the best game of the year so far haha, and maybe will remain in TOP 3 by end of year.

The game is this good ?, i haven't see any footage of the game, The Division, have heavy bugs ?.

At this rate the Playstation 4, will out-sell Wii U in Japan, before NX's Launch.

Out of curiosity, how much ahead is the wii u? Ps4 is pulling a 20k advantage each week so it shouldn't take that long

On The beggining of the year on January, was 600K of Advantage, because launched a year early than Playstation 4.

It had some bugs, but nothing of shame. The game is fun, and is very hard if you play withouth another player.

Seriusly guys. How many YEARS you need to understand how are the sales during the year?

PS4 is selling 25-30K recently... So? Look at last year. PS4 was selling >30K for all march, some times >45K. Then what's happen in April / May ?

PS4 dropped at 10-15K weekly sales... Like always.

Look at NPD sales as well, March and February 2015 have PS4 at almost 350K. Then look at April / May 2015, PS4 sold in the 150-175K territory, half of what sold in the stronger months of the year.

I mean, after year of sales, this should be obvius. If PS4 in February / March is selling 25-30K at week, you can be sure this year in April / May we will see again 10-15k.

In conclusion, there is nothing of "amazing" in the current PS4 basis. It's decent. It's also down compared to last year.
Wait 3/4 weeks, and we will see what is the real PS4 basis.

But why would you compare this year's March vs last year's as if they were equal? Last year was pretty incredible so sales were inflated. I think it's doing pretty amazing considering the weaker lineup this year. The point is the PS4 is doing better than the PS3 at the same point in time. I think that's the real test.

Last year:

Dragon Quest Heroes
Yakuza 0
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Battlefield: Hardline
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Bloodborne
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3
Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance
Senran Kagura: Estival Versus

This year:

Gundam Breaker 3
Tom Clancy's The Division
Summon Night 6: Lost Borders
Dark Souls III
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness

My point is how people are saying "PS4 looks stable, good new basis". What is my point is that, at this point of the year, sales always are better than usual, expecislly for PlayStation console.

I'm not saying PS4 sales are bad... They aren't. But i don't think this is a good basis. It's ok-discrete imo. Honestly, it's aldo a bit lower than i expect... I thought a >30K all weeks of March was likely honestly.

Imo, expect PS4 sales to drop hard after Dark Souls III week, like is happen in 2015 when it was selling 10-15k basis.

EDIT: sorry for do many grammar errors, i'm eith my Nokia.
