It´s a shame FF XV and TLG got delayed.
In a 7 day window FF XV, Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 6 and TLG are releasing.
I recon Sony´s first party titles will be the most affected out of those.
Previously we had a much smoother release window.
Should be a pretty good year for PS4 though.

Nice stuff. Can't wait to see what kind of PS4 push FFXV and DQ11 will have.

They're counting 2DS's all of a sudden now?

Lol imagine gran turismo sport wasn't delayed from that window.  It would have been carnage (pun intended).

I'm going to be interested in seeing next weeks numbers. I've noticed there tends to be a spike in Japan followed by a crash down to the normal average. It other countries you'd get a gradual decline but it appears Japanese consumers are more fair weather than most.

Wait in the PS4 news, I did not notice, did 3DS just sell 37,000 this week?

I think the effect is basically similar to MGS5 launch, which is 50,000, someone can pull that up. If you factor in the loss sales from the previous weeks with shortage. (My math could be really off, and obviously that is with the assumption the baseline of 20,000).

3 weeks of shortages = 60k sales lost

This week sales without the slim or the persona effect would've been 20k too

So effectively, 4 weeks of sales = 80k 

I know delayed sales aren't guaranteed sales, but still, the number is disappointing in my opinion, but I think I expected too much from Japan. NX will give us the final clear picture about traditional video games sales there.

It's only 60k if the PS4 sold 0 for 3 weeks.

I think he factored the previous weeks before it as well, where people kept claiming "shortage" at 17,000.
