These numbers are really strange. We already have the 20.2m+ statement so unless there will be a massive 600k+ last week of feb VG would be willingly wrong despite official numbers....

My thoughts too.

Thinking its abit undertracked in europe as well.

Even if the PS4 sales there according this chart,are like 3 times the xbox sales, its probably still undertracked there.

I could very well be wrong, but I think it is saying that The Order sold 245,000 in the US in 2 days(was released February 20th, this chart is up until the 21st of February....). Surely that is not right?

Which is a normal first week...

For it to be a standardized week, wouldn't every game have to come out on a Friday(which is not the case)?

So... are we saying that the PS4 sold 600k in the last week of February to make the Sony whole as of March 1. Or am I jumping the gun when we obviously need more time for proper adjustments.

Yes that is correct. At least as far as I am aware, most PS games come out on the same weekday, Thursday. (I think sometimes it's Tuesday)

Regardless, yes, it's 2 days of sales, but you also have to factor in that these 2 days are the majority of sales for the week. The full 7 days will probably be about 350k or slightly more. This is because those first two days are loaded to the gills with preorders.
