Lowest PS4 sales week so far.

PS4 will also be below 100k probably and One below 70k coming up to E3

People expecting that sales momentum to continue have been living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

PS4 sales momentum will drop by January.... PS4 sales momentum will stop in February.... Titanfall will destroy the PS4's momentum in March.... I guess if said enough times, those predictions will eventually be true, lol

At least I do agree about the X1, it's going to die a slow death like the wii U

X1 still over tracked IMO, NPD will show that

I also thought that the numbers were wrong, but the thing is PS4 doing more on Amazon charts is not sufficient "proof". Proof is when you know for a fact that the PS4 is doing better in the US. Amazon "indicates" that it's doing better. It doesn't prove.

Amazon proved to be 100% accurate with NPD until now about hardware...

So I believe way more in Amazon's chartz than VGC right now.


Fair enough then, but as soon as Amazon gets a month wrong you will admit that it isn't proof?

As long as Amazon stays 100% I guess it can be used for "proof" but when it gets a month wrong it's an "indication" not proof.

So your ratio for proving something is wrong is once out of never? I'd suggest 'once' would be an anomaly and doesn't in any way prove the theory wrong.

Lowest PS4 week? You mean like the previous week, which was something like 129k but has now been adjusted to nearly 150k?

I'm only really a spectator here but it seems to me that it's you that's not getting it. You keep saying that people are butt hurt because the numbers don't suit them but what I'm seeing is people who are right to question the numbers and are proven right over and over again. Your stance just doesn't seem to make sense ... sorry.

He just don't get what is happening yet

It's just seems weird that he keeps calling people out and yet they're proven right. I've been questioning the numbers for quite some time now but it's not because I'm childish, butt hurt or whatever, it's because the numbers don't make sense.

And I really don't know why the Amazon numbers are so contraversial. You're taking a large slice of a population and judging the sales ratio by what position they are in a best sellers list. It's not as if you are extrapolating the numers, you're just extrapolating who won and who came second.

Man 30 thousand a week with only one hyped game(Tropical Freeze) for the year and little advertising is pretty good if you think about it. Sure would I like to see numbers like the PS4 or 3DS, of coarse. I just think we need to look at the whole picture. Iwata was a retard to think he would sell 13 million last year with how little it was advertised. This is looking to be a better year.


looked at the big picture...nope its still bad. other systems are doing better with NO hyped games. But i agree with the rest.

Sony systems generally do well in the other countries so the numbers aren't too alarming. Also what makes you think Vita is overtracked by nearly a million? Any source or just a hunch?


Hunch but its definitely overtracked, US alone 130k+. Rest of the world has 8217 sold this week. Thats more than Europe, no way this is remotely true. Rest of the World has been even practically with Europe for Months now (well at least past 6-10 weeks).

You think Rest of the World>Europe? Has this ever happened in HW :p

Just look at the PSP. It has the highest rest of world total (15 million) of any console beside the PS2. And if you look at the PS3 it sold more in the other countries than in Japan. So it's not out of the realm of possibility. Besides, Europe's Vita total is at 2.54m and it's rest of world total in 0.87m so its probably a recent trend thats caused by low Vita stock in mainland Europe.

Some of us knew those 19 April numbers were weird between PS4 and Xb one. Good to see our logical analysis turned out to be right. Means quite a drop for PS4 this week. I don't see much scope for adjustment this time 'round though. There's no reason for PS4 numbers to remain close to where they were the previous week.

we won't know vgcz numbers for a few weeks since it just released but i'm sure when it comes it will show that maybe a 10k or so boost to xbone.
