Those looks like high prediction for PS4 and Wii U...
Why you expect a 17% boost in weekly sales for PS4?
Back in 2014, PS4 got only a 9% boost in weekly sales, and this even if was down MOM in May with one week of Watch Dogs...
This time PS4 got a good 18% MOM boost April to May, and this with 3 weeks of Uncharted 4 (so it will hardly have an effect even in June), there is a good chance that PS4 weekly sales will be down MOM, i would say most likely flat, but why should get a bigger boost than in 2014?
Because, at least in more recent years, weekly average sales in June are frequently up compared to April and usually up compared to May. This is even in the absence of anything that might stimulate sales. In 2010, the PS3's weekly average in June was 65.6% bigger than April's and 93.7% bigger than May's, and that was with no big games and no price cuts. In 2011 the 360's per-week average in June was 36.6% bigger than April's and 50.2% bigger than May's, while for the PS3 those figures were a more modest 8.2% and 24.7%. In 2012 June lost much of its advantage in the per-week department—the 360's weekly average in June was down 12.9% from April's and up—and in 2013 both were flat per-week from May and down from April, but at that point the 360 & PS3 were in decline. In 2014 the XBO was up big time in June because the first $400 Kinect-less SKU was released, but the PS4's per-week average managed to be up 8.1% from April and 9.2% from May. Last year both systems were up a considerable amount per-week in June from April & May, but to be fair last year in June the PS4 had the LE Batman bundle and the XBO had its first 1TB SKU.
That being said, I forgot to take into account UC4's effect on May's sales. After doing so, I do think I need to revise my PS4 estimate down. Somewhere in the 250-270k range seems more probable.
Also Wii U 80% boost... No, i mean just no. With the Wii U shortages + the NX talk + 0 marketing sales are just gonna be worse and worse every months.
Yeah. I was thinking the Wii U sold 30k last month when it sold only 25.3k. So 30-35k seems more probable for June.
