If VGC is to be believed, it has been trending downward every week since week 4 so i dont think without GOW it would maintain a 250k weekly average this spring.

 

With that said, GOW is coming and will def cause a boost so it certainly could reach that number.

Technically (and what I do all the time with things like these) I am low balling it. By a lot.

If we are to be being specific; its actually averaging around 300k/week (304K/week to be exact). If looking at the total 2018 sales divided by the number of weeks. So when i said 250k (at worst) that was me lowballing it and dropping that average down to 250k to account for those weeks where it would do less than 250k and those weeks it would do more.....

Further more, if after almost 10 weeks of a downward trend its still sitting at an over 300k/week 2018 average, I think that just confimrs this theory of it hitting 80M before E3 (which is another 10 weeks) especially when you consider as you have pointed out... GOW is coming.

Though I don't see it giving it that much of a boost being that the only bundles (unless I am mistaken) for the game are of the PS4pro.

Oh, and as you again mentioned.... if VGC is to be believed...... Funny thing about that though is that it goes both ways, VGC can also be undertracking it and right now the PS4 could very well be over 78M. Then again, the PS4 could also be at 77M flat.

Its weekly/avg in Jan-March doesnt really matter when talking about April-early June sales though.

It needs to maintain a weekly average of 250k from now to E3 and since sales have been slowly dropping for the last 9 or 10 weeks to the point where they are sub-250k in the latest week than i dont think it would maintain that level without the upcoming GOW boost.

 

But yeah, VGC could certainly be off in either direction so who knows if this discussion is even relevant.
