Was there supply issues in japan for PS4? That drop was huge!

Yes, many retailers were reporting Sony wasn't restocking the old PS4.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Look at what No Man's Sky did! Or was it Metroid's fault? Space adventures are gonna run the industry worse than it already is!



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

That's pretty dumb from Sony. They should have at least announced the Slim/Neo/whatever before they stopped shipping the OGPS4.

It's not dumb at all. Sony also mentioned there may be shortages. So, cut stock ready for the Slim/Neo, announce there could be shortages of the PS4 which then clears out the stock faster, and then announce the Slim/Neo. Clear stock, ramp up interest. Good move.

It's bombas all round this week. Sengoku Basara a disaster; Miku even worse; Metroid didn't even chart. King of Fighters clinging on to being 'alright' but that's hardly an achievement for the series. Sengoku Otome I suppose did alright for a niche game from a no-name publisher.

Hardware is also a disaster.

I'm here to remind you that Week 1 sales number for 14 is better than XIII. It is quite close to GG Xrd as well.

...Fate of fighting games, I guess. It just doesn't sell well.

King of Fighters XIII (PS3) - 21,525
King of Fighters XIII (X360) - 3,655

King of Fighters XIV (PS4) - 20,655

It's a drop of about 5k copies FW (don't know where you got that the sales numbers were better from), I suppose that can be offset by digital (though I'm pretty sure XIII was available digitally).

Like I said, it's 'alright' but not an achievement.  And yes, the state of fighting games isn't great at the moment.



Wii U close to PS4, someone better call Johnlucas!

Real rough looking numbers all around, shame to see.

Except for the 3DS though. Still above 20k XD
