Now for the nitty gritty:

Uncharted 4 did well. I was worried due to a poor late performance on COMG compared to TLOU, and especially UC3, but in the end, MC performance was unaffected. It ended up lower than I was expecting one and a half months ago, but still did pretty well. If we factor in digital, it should be like 150-160k which is damn good.

Other than that, damn, hardware is dead awful. May is a depressing time for Japanese sales. Sure, the PS4 was held up, courtesy of UC4, but 3DS, Vita and Wii U are all depressingly low, and I expect PS4 to join them next week.

I have to applaud you for your objectivity teeqozy! ;)

 

Wii u sales are very interesting to watch from now on, since we have a release time frame for the NX  ( plus, to see if its consistet with Nintendo's low aim of 800k wii u for this fiscal year worldwide, which is either  a sign of supply constraining or utter pessimism or a combination of these) !  Is 4k so bad when taking into account the recent official news for NX? What's your opinion?

imo 4k is pretty bad. You could say it's not bad *considering it's the Wii U* and that it hasn't had any noteworthy games release in quite a while (Star Fox Zero is evidently not noteworthy, judging by sales), but in the end, I still think 4k is bad . I mean, the PS3 did ~4k quite a few weeks last year, and it released in 2006, and was replaced by the PS4 in 2014.

Of course, it could have done better if Nintendo would've shipped the damn thing, but it is what it is.
