Yo, GOW did nothing for PS4 hw.........haha, yeah right.

It did. Raised it by about 40k a week the past two weeks. I think most people were just dumbfounded because they were expecting larger numbers than that.

or the console is just on a downward spiral.... like really, why should it be selling well right now? XB1X?

It was comfortably up YOY in the first quarter according to NPD, they are probably just assuming the trend will continue.

Personally i dont think the YOY increase will last much longer. The combination of the momentum from X model & PUBG releasing over the holidays, nationwide discounts in Feb & Sea of Thieves in March caused it to have a solid increase in Q1 but i dont really see anything that will cause that momentum to continue into the Spring/Summer.

Even with this drop, the week is still up YoY for XBO, though less so than previous weeks

Well, it looks like it's not just on Amazon that there are some supply issues: https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/ps4/

So maybe PS4 just lacked the stock to sell more



I seem to recall, not too long ago, that PS4, Switch and XB1 were all almost tied in NA. Guess that didn't last very long. XB1 is quickly falling behind (and of course in the rest of the world it's kind of pathetic).

Well, every week there were some variations, win some loose some. And since Microsoft is discounting the XBO yet again right now, it should be up close next weeks.

I feel like I've already seen these numbers before. Strange!



PS4 still king! Albeit by a small margin. Xbox One is dead in the water. I can’t believe it’s gotten this bad for the console. Phil needs to right his ship and quit congratulating the competition for kicking his *ss.

Have they lowered it below 249? because its been that price all year basically.
If not, I dont see why it would go up next weeks.

249$ with game, 229$ standalone unit; before those prices where 299$ and 259$, so a 50$ and 30$ pricecut respectively



Can we now say the XBX didn't improve sales?
