Software dominator? PS3 has been selling more software for a long time now. It built up nice software sales earlier in the gen, though.

MS is the only one of the big 3 that never gives us any info about their overall SW sales though. 

Exactly the reason I take VGC SW totals for 360 with a nice dosage of salt.  We have nothing to check them against, except when larger titles are updated, periodically.

Huge CUP of salt. with the poor tracking outside NA

All software numbers are just a giant mountain of salt. You can only ever take it as ballpark. If VGC reports 100K for SW there is a pretty even chance that the actual number is anywhere from 50 to 150K and there's a not unrealistic chance that its outside that range. CoD launch week of 6 Million could be 5 or 7 Million. With VGC software you can confidently say that a game sold in the 10s or 100's of  thousands, or millions or >10 million or >20 million. But the numbers are too fuzzy to say with certainty "Oh look console A with 2.341 million outsold console B with only 2.2761 million".

But you can be reasonably certain that, unless its sales digitally are huge, Castlevania LoS2 has had a poor launch. And DKTF is not doing Wii U much good.

More like a Jupiter sized planet of salt! Sorry, I just couldn't help adding to the salt quantity.

OT: I know Japan only recently got the PS4, but I'm still glad it has the highest total of sales for the week. I really hope it can revitalize the console market over there if even just a little.
