massive ps4 sales bump

damn yoki watch is monster. selling 100k+ and just lose 2% :O

What's your definition of massive?

OT: 'meh' all around. With some few exceptions Japanese sales are all around bad. FF XV, KH3, and MGS will verify if console gaming there is dead

In my opinion those Hyrule Warriors sales are pretty bad but it gave a good enough boost for the Wii U.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Found the prediction thread

Looks like people were generally expecting more from Hyrule Warriors, a good number of people were pretty close though.


119k prediction average.
Using the average sales from both trackers, 19 users predicted less and 73 higher than the actual sales.

Hyrule Warriors did alright. Not as much as some people were expecting, but it didn't flop.

Also, TGS can't come soon enough for the PS4.

Lets look at other big Wii U exclusives FW Japan. According VGChartz.

Pikmin 3- 96k
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD- 31k
Wii Party U- 76k
Super Mario 3D World- 102k
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze- 38k
Mario Kart 8- 334k

Hyrule Warriors- 64k (based on the 69k and 79k)

See its not that bad. If you take off Mario Kart 8, it looks very good
Btw i was expecting 25k Wii U sales but 18k is good

The listed games probably had a chance at doing better WW. Musou zelda will not do better outside of Japan.

First of all, 3DS reached 16m in MC!

Now, holidays seems to benefit all fronts, there are a lot of old games charting. YK2 is having an unbelievable success, it'll reach MK7 LTD sales in a couple of weeks.

HW bumps are rather ok, with some luck they won't plummet next week.

Hyrule Warriors sales are decent, not good by any means, but I reckon it could've been a lot worse.

Lol at SK2, huge drop, but I must admit port beggars are rather silent, probably waiting for that game that's going to release on PSV and then there'll be a lot of whining.
