PS4 was selling >30K for all march, some times >45K. Then what's happen in April / May ? PS4 dropped at 10-15K weekly sales... Like always. Look at NPD sales as well, March and February 2015 have PS4 at almost 350K. Then look at April / May 2015, PS4 sold in the 150-175K territory, half of what sold in the stronger months of the year. I mean, after year of sales, this should be obvius. If PS4 in February / March is selling 25-30K at week, you can be sure this year in April / May we will see again 10-15k. In conclusion, there is nothing of "amazing" in the current PS4 basis. It's decent. It's also down compared to last year. Wait 3/4 weeks, and we will see what is the real PS4 basis. |
But why would you compare this year's March vs last year's as if they were equal? Last year was pretty incredible so sales were inflated. I think it's doing pretty amazing considering the weaker lineup this year. The point is the PS4 is doing better than the PS3 at the same point in time. I think that's the real test.
