But the PS4 was supply constrained in Jan and Feb. Now that PS4 supply will be better in March, your gap observations probably won't continue in the same pattern.

Vita 27k?
If we assume 150K we get 262k (2012) -> 189k (2013) -> 150K (2014) unless I have my historic numbers wrong.
It's Vita + 3DS in total is between the two to my knowledge.
Well I expected a 3DS boost with BD, not sure what to make of the Vita though
No. It's the combined sales of both handheld that is within 175~180k. I'll expect around 20-25k for Vita though.
That sounds about right. It's definitely not good news for the 3DS, but then it hasn't been good news for the 3DS since November when all that careful planning just never came through for them in the end.

I am? Tell that to my therapist.
No.
3DS and Vita combined are less than 180k, but greater than 175k.
We don't know the individual sales.
In January, Vita sold 17k, 3DS did 86k, I think.
Oh junior....you're gonna get clipped by mods with that jibberish

Vita outsold the 3DS!
is what I thought it said at first but then I realized thats a + and not a <. And then I remembered the Vita would be lucky to sell 20% of that 175k

Down YOY (189k for 3DS last year), and way down gen over gen. PSP did 243k in the comparable February 2008. NDS did 588K that month.

heh, he has a fitting username doesn't he
I hope he gets a name changed to "Serving5to10fornow" if the info proves to be false.
U.S. market is going though the opposite of what Japan is going though, even though the cause is the same. The competition from mobile is helping to contract the console market in Japan, and the handheld market in U.S.
WHOOP WHOOP That's the sound of the police!

Assuming these numbers are right, 3DS would be down YOY even if vita sold 0 but likely it's 150K - 160K
That's got to terrify Nintendo. Where are they going to make money next year?
He didn't say google searches alone, he cited them as part of a whole collection of data aggregated from multiple sources. Explicit Google searches may not be the strongest source of signal in this instance. They don't have to be.
Meanwhile my Google Now screen has been feeding me updates almost daily on Infamous recently, even though I've never done a formal search for the game. They seemed to figure out I'm at least generally interested in the game (which I am) and they're using the same kind of signals as Sony is, I'm sure.
If people are watching commercials on YouTube it can also be because the company is paying to have it run as pre-roll before other videos.
As for the "google searches" point, just no. Even with "infamous" being a real word it's still not nearly as popular a search as Titanfall. It only was briefly when "Lord Infamous" from Three 6 Mafia died.
Here is what it looks like when you put second son.
If you do it by year, they are about the same

Im calling bullshit on this. I think Infamous will do fantastically well for the series and wont be too far behind WW but I do not think it will beat Titanfall by any stretch.
I understand that there may be a high view count on youtube for official videos, but that ignores the massive amount of user made videos for titanfall. People didn't need to watch official walkthroughs/ videos for titanfall because there were mirrors EVERYWHERE.
As for twitter traffic, that will always be a very fickle beast that can't really be translated into sales expectations. The Xbox one has trended higher than the PS4 for all of feb and look at the numbers.
Preorder data is interesting, but it means little as the bulk of sales are not made through preorders.
Hopefully next month creamsugar will be drop soft software sales numbers with Titanfall and Infamous. Just read that EA is expecting 2.4 million Titanfall sales in March and 6M for the year, that sounds crazy. The whole life of 360 it only had seven games sell that many copies, and they're expecting that in 9 months on a new platform.

Kind of curious when will MS release the Xbox One to Tier 2 etc, how many will they ship and how many will be purchased at during the launch window.
QOL products coming in hot.
That price drop seemed to do favors for W101.
Uh-Oh, here we go...
This was an account suicide mate. Pete Dodd (Famousmortimer) has the best track record of any insider here.
Damn I was hoping MH3U was over 150k by now :/
