Ruler on 18 May 2016

Despite PS4 dominating the chartz the sales are somewhat low, it should be at least 200-300k during this time. I think these rumors arent good, the new model should be released as soon as possible

Why is XBone so low?

 i think its because Xbox One only gets Quantum Break and Gears 4 this year, PS4 allready got R&C and U4 and countless other exclsuives coming up from first party and third party devolopers

8th gen machines more or less flat yoy, unless the tracking is as of as it was for Q1, that is. Regardless; the 8th gen isn't really the comet that many predicted it would be and I believe the PS3/360 combo is not basically tied with PS4/Xone.
PS4 should have a decent last half of May though, with UC4 being hugely anticipated.

Wii U adjusted down... still overtracked... lol

PS4 too :-3

Really? Last figure I know about is the 40 million from Sony. Has ioi not fixed that yet?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

He might be comparing it to the Wii, however. It had one May week (this week in '08) where it crossed 375K. Other than that, it was about 180K in its first May and 200K in May '09 & '10. By May 2011, it was on a decline. May 2017 will be the one to watch for the PS4, but historically, May is a slow month for even the fastest sellers.

What about April?

I second that, we grossly overtracked it in all of Q1 and had sellthrough exceeding the actual shipments. There's nothing to suggest it should be selling more right now, besides a fairly obvious upswing in the last two weeks of May due to UC4, a boost that likely won't be enough to offset what will likely be a fairly boring and slow summer for all three.

The PS4 is quite simply not living up to some of the, quite frankly unrealistic, expectations a lot of people had of it from the beginning. It seems like some are thinking it should be selling a lot more simply based on the poor competition it has right now, which is obviously not the case. The market simply isn't as greased and excited as many would like it to be. With the immense likelihood that the PS4/Xone installed base will be considerably smaller than the PS3/360 when all is said and done; these sales are more or less along the lines of what should be expected, and the sales are still good, relatively speaking.

The Wii was an anomaly in its first two-three years and had no respect for seasonal curves in sales, which was more a reflection of its primary demographic than actual market factors as a whole.

Does anyone still believe it will outsell the PS2 lifetime?

I dunno if anyone remembers me making a thread a while back saying it was very odd that in the week R&C released that PS4 sold less than Xb one in the UK. Well guess what, there have been adjustments and now this is the chart for the UK for 23 April.

UK Hardware by Platform

PlatformWeekly (change)Total
PS4 11,336 (-19%) 3,227,697
XOne 9,924 (-3%) 2,646,588
3DS 6,210 (-5%) 3,231,929
WiiU 2,855 (-9%) 673,839
PSV 639 (-8%) 623,761
X360 482 (-10%) 9,111,215
PS3 422 (-9%) 6,095,321

I suppose I feel a bit vindicated for questioning the logic of the numbers.

PS4 is at 39.86 million as of 2 April, so doesn't that kind of line up with Sony's last sell through announcement?
