What can be deduced from a 22,500 gap between Bloodborne and the combined sales of BF:H?

What are we thinking BFH did?

BF4 first week was 120K*, 2nd week was 58K*. So 67.8K > BFH week 2 >58k. 22.5K less means 45.3K> Bloodborne wk 1 > 35.5K.
Dark Souls and Dark Souls II both opened to 20-21K on PS3. PS360 sales for DS was ~34K and for DS2 was ~43K. Bloodborne opened to comparable sales to the combined console totals of DS1 and DS2. Which makes it a very good start for Bloodborne on just one platform with a much smaller install base.


Calculations based on BFH wk1BF4 wk 2 with a 43% drop. Max BFH wk1~119K therefore Max BFH wk 2 ~67.8K.

*VGchartz numbers for BF4.

So it could be around The Order's launch numbers?

Does GFK track digital sales? Also I assume GFK tracks PC sales, and damnit, I forgot to factor in PC sales on VGC. VGC has BF4 at right on 140K when adding in PC sales

So that means Gaf's range for Bloodborne is backed up by VGC, assuming GFK tracks PC sales.  57,300 > Bloodborne > 41,900.

If GFK tracks digital sales as well it means VGC has physical sales for BF4 overtracked.

If the Gaf estimate is all physical sales it means Bloodborne has probably outsold the last 2 DSs by a decent margin. Even better than I first thought.

So this means first NPD of Bloodborne in USA should be about equal to the first NPD of Dark Souls 2 in USA?
so 300k is a good guess??
