While I didn't expect as much for this week than most others probably, I still do feel it's a bit low for the PS4. I think 260-280k would have been more correct, with the baseline dropping below 200k after GW in Japan

They changed GoW to a style more suited for EU market though...... so it doing better in the US might not be true anymore.

What makes the style more suited for the European market?

Sony apparently does survey's to find out what people like, and apparently Europe likes Story Focused games of a certain type.
Sony had come out and said "okay" we ll give you more of that.

I cant google and find the link, but I remember reading some marketing message some time ago, where they mentioned what types of games europeans generally like, and what in those games they like ect.

I think GoW is in a style thats more appealing to the european market than it was before.
Also Its probably doing better in Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Iceland ect.. and places where vikings settled,  cuz of the Nordic lore elements.

In my opinion, Wii U remasters/re-releases/remakes are making most of NSW sales since January.

There a millions out there that haven't played those games on the doomed Wii U.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

Numbers are great for Switch and PS4. Sad that the Xbox dropped below 100k

Xbox is up over 50 % on the similar week last year, it’s doing just fine.
