Week 38/Sept. 22nd numbers have been posted.

It seems like even though Spider-Man didn't cause a huge hardware boost on the week it was released, it did manage to raise the PS4 baseline by about 30k weekly. And with FIFA numbers hitting with the next update, that baseline should rise again. And seeing as how for there, it'll be October, which means COD, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and RDR2, the PS4 should start to seriously heat up.

The Switch saw an increase this week while the Xbox One saw a decrease. I think both should be up next week with a subtle FIFA boost as well. The Xbox One should also increase noticeably in October with the 3rd party games I just mentioned. The Switch should see an increase in October thanks mostly to Super Mario Party and the buildup towards the holidays (Pokemon and Smash Bros.).

I think it's more like VGC has distributed the sales over the whole month rather than a spike

Shipment numbers at the end of the month will become pretty interesting to see how well the tracking is.
