Well well well. This is grim. That PS4 number isn't exactly anything to write home about either.

Looks like we overshot Titanfall XB1 sales by some order of magnitude too, while remaining within a 10% margin of error on InFAMOUS. Kinda mirrors what happened with the hardware sales, too.

And what's this? Conception 2 didn't sell 40k FW on Vita and 20k FW on 3DS? I am shocked.

Aside from that, one thing I learnt about the Demon Gaze number a few weeks ago from Houk (NISA translator) on their forums is that NPD don't track NISA online store sales. So while 6k is low... it's not as low as I used to think with these types of games due to the fact that I'd imagine a large amount of sales come directly from their store (due to it being the only place you can buy the LE). So that's... somewhat nice. It'll still be overtracked, but I'd suggest not by 9k as it appears on the numbers here.

Oh and also, Mario Golf, what happened?  I know it'll sell with legs but these seem like really tepid first month sales.

First *week* sales, really. It's a may game.

Though i've never quite seen the appeal of Mario Golf myself.
