This is also the first time PS4 or XB1 have broken 200k in April. Just shows how big this month was for PS4.

Edit: actually its the second time, I was lied to.
Yeah ps4 did 206k once

Lol dang I just noticed XB1 is so low but still up 20% YOY. Last April really was a woeful time for it.

Thought more about GoW. Uncharted 4 sold around 3 million worldwide by the May NPD tracking period (about 1 and a half weeks). US was around 900k, so it sold 2.1m elsewhere. God of War in the same time will be around 4 million, we know its not quite as popular as U4 elsewhere/ only just as popular, so it probably is around 2m.
It included digital for U4 too with the 2.7m sell through, and that was 900k NPD. With GoW selling over a million more, I think its safe to say it will be at least quite close to 2m without digital. If digital is massive it might fall to 1.5m.

NPD tracks digital now anyway, so it doesn't matter. With digital I think it'll be above 2m in the US.
NPD tracks digital for their software rankings, but I guess I never put two and two together to realise that insiders would then be leaking physical+digital numbers.

"PlayStation 4 software dollar sales in April 2018 set an all-time April high for any platform since tracking began in 1995," NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. "The record had previously been held by Xbox 360 and was set in April 2008."

Breaking a 10 year old record. Not bad.

The PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Wireless Controller Black was April's top-selling Accessory and remains the best-selling Accessory year to date. The PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Wireless Controller Black is now the all-time best-selling Gamepad in dollar sales.

So GoW the biggest playstation exclusive launch month ever... Including third party. That's cray
