There's a leaker in our midst? Exciting.

256k for ARMS is really good imo.

You have to wonder if the lower XB1 numbers have anything to do with customers being impressed by XB1X and holding off until the November launch, or are those same customers dissapointed and now buying PS4's and Pro's instead?

It's hard to tell. My theory is that nothing has changed as those numbers are what I'd expect if the XB1X was never announced. 

Possibly. Switch is obviously stealing some customers from both as a main system, as well as splitting some time for both as a second system. I don't see Switch taking all that many away from both right at the moment though. With the limted supply, it should still be mostly dedicated NiN fans buying up Switch, which wouldn't make too much difference for PS or XB just yet.

While there are other reasons why PS4 sales would have increased, I have to assume the $500 price point of XB1X scared some of the $399/$449 hopeful away. This would be the perfect opportunity for Pro to scoop them up with an increase in availability.



ARMS has sold about 400k in United States+Japan, should be close to 600k when adding in all other regions.

Well, Jal definitely gave us the real numbers, so I'd like to apologise for my initial skepticism. The PS4, Tekken, Crash and Arms had a hell of a month. Awesome to see Zelda and Horizon still in the top 10 as well.

We seem to be missing May numbers but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 550k in April & 180k in June (730k combined).

Very possible that its over 1 million when factoring in May.

I'm pretty sure I predicted, PS4, Switch then Xb1.

Man MS Better hope the Xbox X makes lasting difference.

Not at $499 it wont. 

 

That being said it looks like the PS4 is about to go supernova for no reason.



PS4 up 63% YoY? Huh dayum!

Think how much money that is at 60$.... 256,000 x 60$ = #5.

I think its more impressive that Crash Bandicoot at 40$, and supply issues managed to get #4, with just 2 days of sale.

Wonder if Crash Bandicoot did more than 370k in June (NPD) in the US?

The reason why PS4 did so extremely well this month was a Limited Edition Gold PS4, which also was discounted to $249 the moment it was released for like a week. And I'm sure Crash Bandicoot also contributed.
