Nothing against TLoU but its not even close. Its more GTAV/pokemon remakes situation

it's hardly like GTAV remaster

MK8 Deluxe would have to be in the top 10 nearly every month for 2.5 years yet

Yeah, it's not that level yet.  Could be but time will tell.

And TLoU Remastered was pretty dang powerful, it was the most popular bundle for PS4 for a long, long time and helped shift PS4s in a year when Sony didn't have too much in the way of exclusives coming.  Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is very comparable in that regard.

The Switch and PS4 are very close. I wonder if the Switch can pull off a win for the month.

It's looking like it will come down to how much stock the Switch gets.  



If the Switch gets any stock........



When is NPD for March?

Ok i think i didnt explain myself correctly. What i meant was original release vs remaster/remake in sales.

Honestly it's surprising how the PS4 is still doing so well right into a new system first steps.
If I remember it well, the XBO S made the PS4 drop some places but still in the top 20, and now an entirely new system, which is doing well on it, still can't take it out of the top 10.
Seems like people just won't stop buying PS4s anytime soon, lol.
Well, the lineup this year up until now has been amazingly well received.

Even though ps4 is slightly down YoY (dunno about march as HDZ came out), its kinda taking awat from X1 potential sales. Other than multiplats, ps4 has been shining this first quarter with exclusives, we have candidates for GotY for many games so far and only one isnt on sony console (zelda vs nier/p5/hdz). 

 

Microsoft is getting over shadowed currently and it doesnt help scorpio is so far off and will probably get sold mostly to just people who want upgrades (similar to n3ds but to a lesser degree imo)

 

Future might change and be all about switch vs ps4 from now on. Im not trying to downplay ms right now, but they need to hit it out the park e3 because right now its not looking too good (again imo)

NES is killing it. Would be funny if it ended up outselling the Wii U.

Think it would be sad... its so old and over priced for what it is.
