Excellent for Ratchet, terrible for QB. What a bomb!

Being below Minecraft and GTAV in its debut month is awful

Hmmm, Sony didn't confirm PS4 was #1

 Sony not commenting suggests PS4 lost this month.

 
If true, then expect a Sony comment shortly.

Sure ::)

In all seriousness, it seems that no one is satisfied with the HW sales hence the lack of PR, so far.

Well there is a big decline YOY (23%) and last April was pretty bad to start with.

From PR.

QuoteCompared to last year, dollar spending for [current-generation] consoles decreased by 15 percent with an over 70 percent decline in [last-generation] consoles

From the Venturebeat article:

QuoteSony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all declined to comment on the performance of their hardware.

Wii U's performance is expected because of the anticipation for the NX.

For the PS4, I guess people are holding off for Uncharted 4. Other than that, it probably just didn't do well.

Very bad for the XB1 because it's supposedly down YOY when it had a temporary price cut combined with Gamestop's trade-in deal.
