Damn I think its not too far fetched to say the PS4 might reach 1 million sales on next week's sales, at least 850k~900k. And from there, only 4 millions to go to reach that sweet 20 million mark!

Next week is black friday right? Based on what it got this week it should easily get 1 million for black friday week.

It can easily bridge the gap with the boost it should get in the USA. But the question is whether and how much it will drop given the undoubted boost that GTA, Far Cry and even Dragon Age gave it last week. I think for EU and RoW the number will fall back a bit and so 1 million might be missed by ~100k.

I wasn't expecting a further hardware lift for Xb one but on reflection 2 new releases plus GTA remaster probably is >MCC, and MCC had a solid second week.

 

And we SSB launch pretty well confirms Wii U's dire state. The only reason people think 149K is good is because it is far higher than the usual dismal numbers for Wii U. I wonder if the magical thinking that went on over the last month or so, that this would be Nintendo's holiday, has finally come to an end. I guess we may have to get through the holidays completely before some people will be able to see that Wii U is just not a competitor this generation.

Not sure whether to be happy or ambivalent about Dragon Age numbers. Across all platforms it's made a decent start I guess. But no sku over 200k in USA is a bit disappointing.  Hopefully we have a decent number of digital sales, which will never get reported of course.
