| Burek said: So, PS4 shipments more than combined Nintendo + Microsoft shipments! |
That was always going to be the case, but unless Nintendo unexpectedly ships a lot more than what NPD and MC numbers (being Wii U's biggest single markets) imply, the Market share for the quarter will be looking like 65%. That's really getting up there.
So while missing the final week of the FY on VGC, we can guess at about 170K coming off the Batman launch week. So that puts VGC sell through at 23.9-23.95 million. So 1.4-ish mission in the retail channel. At the rate PS4 is selling that's a pretty reasonable tracking job. Certainly no hint at all of overtracking. Even iff the end of June numbers get bumped up 200K or so that still keeps the shipped vs sell through difference pretty reasonable. So at least the interminable wait for sales numbers over the last few months has been compensated with pretty decent estimates for PS4 at least.
