Don't read to much into this.There is a reason why PS4 is down.there is just too much software selling right now(which is a good thing) Doesn't mean PS4 is selling worse than,let say,yesterday.

Bloodborne is down cause ASSCREED had a price cut(20 dollars)

Xone asscreed is suffering both because of the software climbing and the fact that there is two SKUS out in the wild.

^^ This

Yeah I dont get the sudden suggestion of doom because some things drop in the hourlys...

 


Never stated the PS4 was doomed. All I stated was it was slipping and that caused concern for me.

The Order now in the top 30. That price cut shows there are plenty of people interested in this game, at the right price. Is the price cut Amazon only or is it across the board.

How is it ACU is 1/3 full price just 6 months after release?

PS4 is hovering in the 12-15 zone. I'm not sure it's a sign of imminent departure from the top 20. If there is a general slow down in video game product buying then everything should drop relatively proportionally and this even though PS4 sales decline it's relative position in the top 100 should remain.

Interesting 2014 vs 2015 monthly comparisons for PS4:

Jan '14 - #3 : Jan '15 - #9
Feb '14 - #3 : Feb '15 - #10
Mar '14 - #1 : Mar '15 - #7 (so far, probably won't go any higher considering what's ahead of it, but maybe FFT0 might drop behind given it has fallen down the list a fair bit now).

Amazon YoY monthly ranking changes don't seem to correlate with YoY sales. In January '15 NPD PS4 was significantly down YoY, but in Feb '15 NPD PS4 was significantly up YoY.

more software this year, i bet those cards are a lot more popular now also

True enough, though cards aren't PS4 specific. I suppose digital sales on PS4 are much greater than they are on PS3, even late in the 7th gen, one would expect card sales to increase even thogh the active user base probably hasn't changed much.

It really shouldn't. The PS4 is losing to games on sale on the PS4 platform. PSN cards used for PS4 purchases. New Skylander toys which can be used on the PS4, some of which are already dropping, and prices alread rising. A highly discounted Xbox 360 controller, the PC version was 39.99.

If anything the sales split from third party games should be promissing.

So much chaos in the top 100 right now oO

Have to wait for a couple of Monthly updates to see how reliable they are right now.

And all of a sudden, the Top 100 has become volatile. PS4 is still in the Top 20. The AC and MCC bundles are very close to each other now.



Kerotan on 23 March 2015

Interesting updates. The MCC bundle so close now.

Ps4/ps3 combined software beasting. I wish we got ps3/360 numbers for February npd because the ps3 has been doing good comparatively for 3 months now.



Nuvendil on 23 March 2015

Wii U is out of the Top 100, dang.  Will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the monthly and yearly charts.

But guess who isn't out of the top 100 yet? :P



tokilamockingbrd on 23 March 2015

XB1 AC Unity #56, MCC #57 They should flip next update.

AC Bundle only being sold by 3rd party vendors.... Its been over a week since MCC Bundle was posted cant believe it has taken this long.

XB1 AC at 56 with a red Arrow
XB1 MCC at 57 with a green arrow.

looks like the MCC bundle will finally pass it, at a lower point than expected though. i wonder when the AC bundle will stop being sold.
