Stab in the dark...

PS4 190k
ONE 150k
WiiU 45k
Vita. Too small to count.
360 defying gravity

 

The hype has gone. 

Quiter the leap from 1 month, a terribly slow month, what will your excuse be when ps4 sales skyrocket again with destiny? Watchdogs? 360 most months in april were below 200k.......

Interesting. None of that is great really is it.

Ps4 will drop further this month and begin looking bad


Sounds like wishfull thinking, no one expects ps4 to drop in MAY in fact all evidence points to the opposite, MLB the show, watch dogs ps4 will be up quite a bit. What made you come to this conclusion? Want to make a sig bet on that?

Kowen is overtracking the XB1 by 40k, and undertracking the PS4 and Wii U by 5k+

What's up with the lack of 3DS numbers?!

Predictions for next NPD :

Wii U : 150k

One : 120k ( the announce of price drop will have a much bigger impact than the release of 2 games, including watch dogs)

PS4 : 270k



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

No chance that XOne can actually do better in May than in April. If they do average for the furst two weeks before Kinect announcement, the bottom will surelx drop in the second half, it will be a success if they sell over 80K.

Also, I seriously doubt either Wolf or Dogs will do anything for XOne. Doubt that many people will decide to jump into next gen by buying a $100 more expensive console to play worse versions of those games.

And if someone really wants to play WD on XOne, hopefully he is sensible enough to wait 12 days until the price drop.



Burek : But not everybody will know for the price drop.

Then nothing will change.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Watching Aprils numbers come in from VGC was like we were all watching a train wreck about to happen in slow motion. Each week most of us said "No way XB1 is that close to PS4 due to the fact PS4 beat XB1 in March, and now XB1 cost more and has no Titanfall" Yet each week the numbers kept showing it closer or even XB1 ahead (unadajusted).

Its sad that BenV with a simple anecdote has a higher degree of accuracity. Analysis, applying logic to data. VGC had data this week, we user tried to apply logic to help, to no avail.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Odd then that everytime someone brings this up, how bad VG has been this year over trackig x1, undertracking PS4, people defend VG chartz and call you a sony fanboy, when it has happend for months and months.
