What's with the boosts?

What's with the boosts?

Golden Week.

[Kerotan]

I saw someone on Reddit not only proclaim that the Switch would outsell the Wii but also that every Nintendo franchise that would release on the system would break sales records for Nintendo as well (so Pokemon Switch = best selling Pokemon game ever etc.). Of course that comment was upvoted.

That's why I said a couple months ago that the next few months would be kinda annoying, there's a lot of really delusional Nintendo fans out there and they are god dang obnoxious about it as well.

Who cares.  Why do you keep letting yourself get triggered by people on reddit.  why even look up what they're saying.

Golden Week.

For ps4 to pass 5m in 11 weeks it needs to sell an average of 24.3k per week.  

For ps4 to pass 5m the same week as ps3 did in 12 weeks it needs to sell an average of 22.3k a week.  

This battle is still too close to call.

We need dramatic epic music for this.

Yeap... I believe PS4 will cross 5m with 30-40k ahead PS3 only.

But well there are DQXI in 10 weeks if I'm not wrong.

DQ11 in 80 days which is 11.5 weeks but 12 calender mediacreate weeks I believe.

[DerNebel]

eh

[Xevross]

So no matter what, DQ11 will put PS4 ahead of PS3 for a while yet still

Yeah.  Ps4 is in a really good place in Japan.  

On amazon the DQ11 themed 3DS is back in stock and at #1. No sign of ps4 edition stock.

Meanwhile Nier is almost at 1000 ratings on amazon.  This game was a Smash hit.

Quite the Switch drop

[ethomaz]

Quite the Switch drop

I talked about in GAF.

That means they sold 72.623 Switch in May.

I still expect the shipment to be 200k this month but with only two more weeks unless there is a big boost it looks it will fall behind the target

Maybe they are planning to ship only 150k in May? The other explanation could be shipment is higher than demand.
