What are some of the prospective thoughts on what Borderlands 3 will do for the PS4?

Not sure if first entry of the IP on PS4 (besides the Telltale game) because sequels hardly push sales up.

Well I would expect less than 20% bump.

The European numbers for PS4 make absolutely no sense

This week last year the PS4 sold 91k in EU. These aren't unusual numbers.

August 11th 2018 EU was 44.92% of global total for the week

This year EU is 46.5% of global total for the week. There is no clear issue here.

If EU numbers have been too high for a long time, that just means RoW numbers have been too low.

Last year the PS4 was selling much better than this year. Having such high numbers don't seem right

That's PlayStation for you.

People were clearly looking for the Switch revision

Nintendo didn't make a big deal out of the revision though, didn't even advertise it much.

I think more people wait for Lite instead.

Nintendo did not, but if some retailers did (which, from far as I know, is the case), it has certainly made a little difference.

I'm wondering what (if any) bump the PS4 might get from BL3. It'll definitely be a huge release.

I don't think it will have any impact on PS4 sales. We'll see soon enough. :)
