Weak ass PS4 sales, considering MLB and Watch Dogs.

Well last month it sold ~199k.

May usually have lower number and Ps4 probably sold ~190 which means that the drop was too small.

Yeah April had no games though. There was FFXIV and what? Limited Trials Fusion retail release at the end of the month?

May we've got 3 games worth mentioning with Watch Dogs selling very nice software wise, and PS4 is close to flat or quite a bit down? That's bad and June will be even a lot more worse, unless there are a lot of people who waited till E3 to make a decision which console to choose and finally jump to next gen. Outlook is bad until September.

To be fair what we had this month? 

A late port of a PS3 exclusive(MBL);

and a multiplatform;

 

It's really great that Watch dogs had this impact on the PS4 only.

Well Wolfenstein is already bigger than anything in April, MLB supposedly sold really well on the PS4 and Watch Dogs is the biggest game of this half of the year with exclusive PS4 marketing.

Looks like those games sell well but it's more and more to the existing installed base, and I wouldn't downplay those games as just multiplatforms, as for the rest of the year 75% of games will be multiplatforms and cross gen at that.
