Ps4 hits 78.5m. Getting so close to that 80m mark.

Would be nice if it huts that mark before June the 30th and God of War should hit 6 million units by that time.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

GOW not pushing hardware as much as we thought



Perhaps Switch sales in the West are being maintained by Labo. We can still say that's a possibility while we don't have software numbers. Bah who am I kidding? Probably the same as it is in Japan.



Which is weird did the GoW bundles exist in limited supply or did people just swap a normal sale for a bundle thus not adding really ontop of the normal weekly pace

It's killing it.

At 80 million sold and The hardware market not as large as it used to be with the addition of Disposable Income being less than it also used to be I'd reckon that PS4 is reaching a point where exclusives won't guarantee a massive hardware bump. For instance if a brand new 3D Zelda were to come out in 2019 it would provide a massively larger hardware boost for people looking for a new console whereas PS4 already has so many owners that it's incredibly hard to reach those kinds of numbers now.

That's just a logical guess though. I literally have no proof that is what is happening and vgchartz could be way off for all I know.

Good point and where in the ps2 and 3 era you had to replace the console more often due to hardware issues

Yeah that's also true. If Switch hadn't released that would be even more people looking for a different console though I don't even think I could guess how many PS4/XBOX owners also own a Switch.

Yeah, I'm actually very disappointed, was expecting to see at least a 300k+ week... I guess everyone that wanted God of War already had a PS4, lol. 

That's what I was thinking, too. It makes sense, given how many PS4 consoles are out there that lot of the existing fans would already own one.
