3DS Numbers?



Eh not good for PS4. Hope does it better in May.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

And Microsoft announced the prices of 399/499 starting June. What are they thinking? They have to do something or some developers will put some of their smaller games or games which never sold a lot on Xbox only on Playstation in the future. Not to speak about how they will have it harder to secure exclusives if another console has a huge advantage in sales ww. Or how it will be easier for Sony to secure them with a big sales advantage.

Again...200k is not bad...., people really need some perspective here. This April of 2014 is a slow month, between March with Infamous and May with Watch Dogs. PS4 will sell more than 300k in May in USA, probably around 350k thanks to Watch Dogs bundle...

So 200k for PS4, it could do better this month due to the show and watch dogs. Vita numbers are really painful and 3ds is not looking good either.

I'm generally surprised the WiiU was undertracked, even if it was only by 2k. Ps4 overtracked by 13k

From a statistical perspective that's pretty spot on for PS4 and Wii U. Can't really ask for better than that.

Also people can't really say across the board doom with that PS4 number.

No exact numbers yet, just 3DS+Wii+WiiU less than PS4 at 199k, WiiU being 48k.

Well Ben did say that PS4 May is already trending better than April was. So there's that...

However a leading console such as the PS4 shouldn't be struggling to just pass over 200K this early in it's life. 



Bad numbers all around.
