Why did the One only get a 10k boost and the PS4 an 80k boost from the same title? I would have expected more. Also, as I thought; the Wii U beat the One and 3DS handily but not the PS4.
My initial number was way off though, but then again, there could be future adjustments, we all remember the holidays (same goes for the One and mysteriously low hardware boost).

PS4 had exclusive content, exclusive bundling, and I believe exclusive advertisement.  The X1 also has a price drop right around the corner, so it's conceivable that some are waiting to get WD after the price drop.

So X1 receives about a 25% boost with no WD advertisements, PS4 sees a 66% boost with exclusive advertisement and bundles

Seems perfectly reasonable, not sure why it's being questioned so much

Wow, the week 3D world came out was only around 100,000 sales, and that was the holidays.


Are you sure? I thought it was around 270k. 

If that's true then good sales indeed, although I would alway argue that 3D World was going up against a whole lot more.

Because, maybe, just maybe WiiU is on top and we missed it, that's why.

It was 270k the next week, because of black friday.

Nice HW. Also a 140k gap between Wii U and XB1 this week. Might be quite a while before XB1 catches up to the Wii U.

Europe

PS4 76,845
X1: 12,270

6:1 ratio. X1 needs price drop + countries + gobsmacking e3 fast.

The PS4 is an immortal juggernaut.

So...when is this going to show up on the front page?



Mummelmann on 04 June 2014

I didn't really notice in the midst of the Wii U/PS4/One fight; the 3DS is down a whooping 44k this week, I still don't understand why people expected it to be up yoy for 2014.
