This is God of War week?

I think we are going to get adjustments to previous weeks, Switch and PS4 YTD seem much too high based on last quarters shipments.

37k ROTW for PS4
35k ROTW for Switch

PS4 used to have a 2:1 ratio compared to Switch for ROTW. What is causing that to change?

Didn't the Switch get launched in more parts of the world in December? That could be helping

So its first 3 weeks of FY 2018, the Switch has sold just under 200k. When PS4 hit 20 million it never came close to sub 200k.

I really don't think Nintendo will hit their goal.

Yeah I'd imagine so since it released on the 20th... was expecting (considerably) higher PS4 sales to be honest, lol.

Me too.

I don't believe for one second that the PS4 only did 244k on God of War week.

Its April and GoW does better in the US so 100k+ s pretty good for EU.

They changed GoW to a style more suited for EU market though...... so it doing better in the US might not be true anymore.

Are you sure about that?

How much did PS4 ship in FY 2016, again? Oh yeah, 20 million.

From the info we have it seems to be doing better than past GoW in Europe but i think the majority of fales will still be in the US.

What makes the style more suited for the European market?
