I've been watching it every update and it seems the PS4 has maintained sales recently thats in the 30ks. Do you think this is permanent?

I hope so, and with more Japanese titles coming it might even go higher... Let's hope!

Nah, it's just that after holidays Sony systems still hold well in Japan (sometimes even boost) for a week or two. I think PS4's normal will be around 20k, which is already pretty good.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

The base doesn't really matter in the year of a thousand spikes.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

But how often are those spikes? We don't know for sure. A 30k average would surely help.

Doesn't matter how many they are, just how big. Base is really not important as long as there are spikes. Everyone who wants to buy a PS4 this year will buy one, when doesn't matter.
