Well yes, absolutely killer FW for TLOU (really impressed it cracked a million actually) and really nice for Animal Crossing too; plus that hardware boost. It's been advertised quite a lot here in the UK so I'm not too surprised by it. NPD adjustments pending, ofc.
But I want to talk about the more weird things happening in this update. And there seem to be a lot of them.
- Xbox 360. No hardware boost from the new model at all? Not even slightly? I do find that hard to believe; normally there's something.
- PSP software in the UK. Up 55%? What on earth has caused that; there's been nothing that I know of that would have had that effect.
- Vita in the USA. Up 23%. There's been no new releases that would've made it in this chart that I'm aware of. Seems really strange, especially since last NPD showed it doing worse than we were tracking it here.
So, presuming it is a phantom Vita boost, then it's still hovering around the 30k mark. Wii-U tumbling closer to the 20k mark again; hopefully G&W in the west will do a little to offset that, although it seems pretty doubtful. At least 3DS and PS3 provided us with some excitement this week.
