When the best selling system isn't even above 100k units sold, then yes, the numbers are indeed terrible no matter what season you're in.The 3DS and PS4 are doing decent to good and the rest are doing terrible. 

Lmao, funny and true.

I'm not talking exclusively about the PS4, in fact, the PS4 is doing quite decently for it's first year on the market. I'm talking about the market as a whole on how it's doing terribly in general.

Yes, PS4 is doing good, but in a healthy market, it wouldn't be the best selling homeconsole with less then 100k units sold no matter what week of the year. 

and I thought the PS4 would never go below 100k...
The Wii U going dangerously low...

I find it odd that there is an across the board 14% increase in Xb one sales in each market reported on so far. It almost seems like a preliminary prediction than data based on normal sampling. I'm not sure it makes sense for Xb one to see a 70% lift followed by a 14% lift, with the only software to help that along being EA's UFC which didn't release to huge numbers and is on PS4, which has seen a week on week decline despite having higher sales of that game. Closest comparison is when Wii dropped from $250 to $200, which gave it a huge >100% boost followed by an 11% lift then a another couple of % lift. But that was in October when sales generally start to trend upwards anyway, not summer where the norm is small weekly declines through to September except for when there are significant game releases.

But perhaps with lots of pre-ordering in the weeks leading up to Kinectless it will take a few weeks for those pre-orders to move through the system. I still would have expected a small decline or a not more than 1-5% lift even so.

According to this poll 41% of people thought it would. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=181936&page=1#21

Including me, despite being wrong in thinking Watchdogs would not spike hardware by much. All it did was slightly delay the inevitable.

Oh didn't you hear? Mario Kart will keep Wii U high for the whole summer!

OT: Not sure why people are upset about the <100k numbers, this happens every summer, just look at the patterns.

Of course it's catastrophic if you pretend that the market is as big as it was back then.

Shouldn't Xbone be higher? Its price was cut 25% and there's no major bump. Europe still clearly doesn't give a fu**. Is MS running out of options here?

Its higher than the 360 at the same time of year in 2006 without all of the countries.
