Yes you're wrong.
Titanfall is a FPS with  a massive hype , it's really impressive Infamous gave such a boost.

Plus, it mostly depends of the stock they are able to ship



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Depends on stock. If they were restricted then (assuming these numbers are true) it's not. If they haven't been held back by anything then yes, like the Titanfall boost it's pretty disappointing. You'd expect a bigger boost from the 1st major post launch release of both consoles.

So, why the oficial report didn´t point it out the same way it did last week?

Will we trust in another random twitter?

yeah, that whole stock thing certainly plays a factor.   ..but seriously, fuck sony for not getting more stock out.  it should not be that hard to get  ~200k consoles a week on the market.  this 130-150k weekly is pathetically low.

infamous and titanfall as that last known (aka dated) AAA exclusives that we know of for a long time.  get some fucking consoles into stores.  if they sell out that would typcially be great.   ...but if they sellout and sony still only sell 200k sony is litterally killing their hype generating moments off.

PS4 is doing PS3 last year numbers, and less than half the numbers it was pushing in 2009 and 2010.

Ah... and I´ve read here that UK received a large bunch of PS4s the Titanfall week.

+ 5 days in stock at Amazon and Bestbuy, 4 days at Meijer and the Infamous bundle is still available at GameStop.

Yes, demand is insane...

UK did get a large shipment, but its about to sell out again today, Game already back to preorder only, Amazon UK 100 left of infamous then no stock till April.

US does seem like its finally sorted 4 months after release.

Indeed :/ It would be nice to have 1 week of global sales without any stock issues anywhere. Sony should certainly be able to produce PS4's faster than they are at least. This isn't the PS3 with custom chips that need whole new production lines.

Expected, now that March 11th is over with we can all get back to reality..
