Did you really expect Kingdom hearts 3 to have a huge impact on PS4 sales? An even bigger one than Spiderman or RDR? Because the way you're wording it seems to Indicate that KH3 was going to catapult PS4 sales. Honestly I doubt it will have any affect at all. Maybe a slight bump that week in Japan.

KH3 could have moved some 150-200k consoles worldwide within a month, which does potentially influence the results of a YoY comparison. It obviously isn't huge per se, but I may as well mention it since it's one of the two missing elements that constituted my original prediction. I admit it's silly to lump them together seeing as how a significant price drop is arguably as big a factor as MHW, GoW, Spider-Man, RDR2 and KH3 combined lol.

I don't know man, I really doubt KH3 would move that much PS4s TBH.  Even if it sells really well, there are games that are big sellers but not hardware movers. Maybe in Japan it can move almost that much but I doubt it. 

 

Either way, 150k-200k isn't that big of a deal when it comes to YoY comparisons when the total number is 17-20 million units a Year. Thats about 1% which if a  console is up or down 1% it's considered flat. In a Quarter that number does make a big of difference. 

 

Maybe Im wrong but I just don't see KH3 making a difference in a year so jam packed with big games. heck I doubt assassin's creed this year is going to make any difference due to all the bigger games releasing like fallout, CoD, RDR, Battlefield and exclusives like Spiderman.
