Sigh, everything is fine....the only thing that is contracted is the casual wii market, we are back to the ps2 gen.

Thank you for even further proving my point.


No it didn;t, the casuals are fickle, they were never going to seriously by a dedicated games console.

Did VGChartz adjusted down the PS4 in the USA also for April?

Answer... No, it still 250k against a more realistic 150k-190k.


VGC has PS4 at ~212k last month, and according to NPD numbers PS4 sold 199k....

Did we get any oficial NPD number or just Peter Dodd call for atention?

Because in the case of January, Sony did said they sold almost double the competitors... but this April it was only they were the leader on hardware sales.

Dark_Feanor says those numbers came from a "notorious faker insider" which gets NPDs spot on month after month so take that with a massive pinch of salt.



Harsh drop for the 3DS o.O
DESPERATELY needs some new games. Tomodachi Life and Smash can't come fast enough for Europe and US, Japan needs a big game besides Smash.

It wasn't Pete Dodd who said it. Aquamarine from GAF confirmed it.

I was actually more interested in him overstating VGC's sales to make it look like the PS4 was vastly overtracked.

Japan has huge games coming this summer.

That Kagura game, Dragon Ball Z game, With Persona Q, Yokai Watch 2, then after summer MH4G+Pokemon OR/AS! :)



Looking at the adjustments, in the UK, Xbox 1 hasn't outsold the PS4 since TF week, even though the X1 + Titanfall bundle was £349 (same price as PS4) at 3 major retailers for a couple of weeks. Interesting.



Wii U for me will outsell XO in nex week.
...And outsell 8:1 nex week of nex week. XD
