200% increase would be 30K. Double = 100% increase on last week's sales / 200% of the previous week's sales. It's why I generally prefer to talk aboiut double/triple etc when you get beyond double digit % increases, too easy for people to mis-read / mis-understand.
What's PS4's baseline been for this year? I certainly think it's been below 18K, so as far as the second week of MGS is concerned it has managed to keep PS4 above baseline. But whether over a longer stretch MGSV would have held the PS4 baseline above what it has been for the first 8 months of 2015 no one will ever know because the price cut should permanently bump up the baseline by a lot more than MGSV could ever have hoped to achieve. But what I wonder is if this modest price cut will have all that big of an effect. If, as I suspect, consoles have permanently dropped in popularity in Japan, the price cut for PS4 should not have as big of an effect as one might think. Will be interesting to see what happens.
