Really surprised that Detroit is all the way up to #2 on Amazon JP, even ahead of Dark Souls Remastered. Wonder if the Ghost in the Shell-esque sort of setting will attract more attention to the title than I originally thought. Though looking back at the data, it looks like both Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls sold ~25k first week copies. That's a bit higher than I had thought. Cage has more fans in Japan than I initially surmised.

I just checked and it's unavailable. How can a digital code of a pre-order of a game released in September be unavailable?

So DK seems to be hovering between 5-15 (more like 9-12). I wonder if we can take that as a sign of DK's legs and evergreen potential. Most titles seem to drop out of top 20 pretty quick but DK is holding on to the middle of the it.

DK overall though seems to be doing really well its still charting pretty high in most places. I wonder how fast it can out sell the original Wii U release, it hasn't already.

Seriously, if the Switch doesn't have the NPD crown back at the next NPD, I'll start to get worried about its ability to take on the PS4. The extent of its loss (if it does lose it) would also be significant. If one chalks down the result of the last 3 NPDs to sales of the MHW/Far Cry/GOW trio which sold gangbusters and most likely gave PS4 significant momentum, there would be nothing really to explain May's result if it goes significantly against the Switch.

Yeah I gotta admit, Sony hit it out of the park with the first half of the year. Well deserved. Nintendo should have June onward though imo.

I think May might be close though due to that resurgence from Donkey Kong early in the month.

Honestly, as long as Fortnite is still as hot as it is right now.. that's going to be a major driving factor for PS4 and it has been for the entire year. I  dont think DBH is going to sell a lot of hardware but yeah God of War is still there for sure.

Switch has a good chance of winning May, but PS4 is still going to sell a ton thanks to Fortnite.

Curiousity got the better of me...

Nintendo June:
- Lego The Incredibles
- The Lost Child
- Mario Tennis Aces
- WolftenStein II  (old & on PS4 too)
- Crash Bandicoot N sane Trilogy  (old & on PS4 too)

Playstation June:
- Lego The Incredibles
- The Lost Child
- Vampyr
- The Crew 2
- MotoGP 18
- Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr
- Jurassic World Evolution
- Super Bomberman R (old & on Switch too)

So its basically Mario Tennis Aces vs  Vampyr,Crew2,MotoGP,Warhammer 40k, Jurassic World Evolution.

Unless you mean E3 hype will be what sells Switch's that month?

Its a great game, but its also a old Wii U game, that alot of Switch owners might have already played.
I doubt its enough to combat "Detroit Become Human" from Sony side.

Outside of the Crew 2 I honestly don't know what those other titles are, would they sell well?

I also didn't know The Crew 2 releases in June, haven't seen anybody talk about it honestly. I kind of saw June as a very quiet month for PS4, I don't really follow PS4 but i'm usually aware of what huge titles will release on it and when.

Donkey Kong might as well be a new game tbh. No one owned or wants a Wii U much less to play Donkey Kong on it. I think DK's Switch release could sell a few systems imo. 

Don't know if it could have a bigger impact than Detroit though.

Vampyr looks pretty good imo... so I hope it sells well:
