PS4 and One flat, Wii U down around 20%, PS4 overtracked by around 100% is quite the miss... Overall, the generation is proceeding according to expectation.
This will likely be peak years for One and PS4 and 15-20% drop for Wii U (and perhaps even more for 3DS).

Flat? Sony PR said "impressive growth yoy".

Can't be that impressive, NPD estimates for january 2015 were also 189k, which is the very definition of flat.

Estimates from GAF

PS4 ~225k and XBO ~115k

Doesn't work out, cause XBO+PS4+Wii U is supposed to be ~402k, and the Wii U is below 48k.

Wasn't it ~415k?

huh..? PS4 is up and One is down, there is no flat about it. My chest, that's flat.



Gratulation @ PS4. The january was not so exciting, but..

The february is very interesting: Naruto UNS4, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth and:

Same exact approximate figures from NPD last year. The margins aren't big enough for "impressive yoy growth". PR is PR, the growth is likely not huge.

There are no approximate figures, OP says what it says exactly because we only know that it's up yoy. Technically PS4 could have sold 200k or 400k. We only know it's up.

We also know the growth was over 20% so definitely not flat and makes it at least ~ 225k

I think you are misunderstanding, the reason the PS4 figures in the OP of this thread is >189k is because the only thing we know is that the PS4 is up over last year. Boutros updates the thread as we get more concrete info, but as of now, the only thing we 100% know is that it sold more than 189k, we don't how much yet, which is why the OP only says >189k.

well the margins are big enough to be higher instead of being flat so your original comment is still wrong.



The numbers are up!


....

On Vgchartz that is! USA and UK weekly 30th January!

Indeed. But don't let facts get in the way of downplaying the PS4's success :P
