I think there is a good chance of PS4 getting 50% of the 8th gen home console market share for March.

Signs are pointing towards Bloodborne and FF Type 0 causing a reasonable boost in hardware sales. But who can say for sure? I guess being the first FF game on 8th gen home consoles that is going to bring a lot of the FF fanbase into the new gen. And of course Type 0 was never brought out of Japan for PSP, so for all western markets this is a whole new game. The FF fanbase is firmly on PS4, and with MS dropping the ball with Xb one and sending a few people back to PS after they left PS2 and went to 360, it seems despite being multiplatform FF Type 0 will benefit PS4 hardware sales a lot more than Xb one.

Bloodborne is also appearing to be pre-ordering well and getting a bit of buzz about it. But there is still a chance it will get great reviews but only sell modestly. Coming the week after Type 0 PS4 might drop week on week for Bloodborne. But I expect PS4 sales will still be higher than the week prior to FF Type 0.

I expect MP 10 to give Wii U a boost, but not a huge one. Pretty much any Mario game is going to boost Wii U sales, IMO.

I think if we did a half month NPD as of today PS4 wouldn't be at 50%, so it all comes down to this week and next.
