GTAV will never die.

Also I forgot about Lego Avengers. Surprised it sold more on the PS4 then other platforms.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
I was expecting Lego to be higher.
Not surprised to see Lego performing better on PS4 and One, it was the same on Amazon. Wondering how sales will look in the next months: Lego Jurassic Park saw big changes in the SKU between first and second month.

Congratulations, Twinsanity by Units and biglittleps by Points! :D

I'm going to spot check some results, but feel free to double-check your own results, since the calculation was modified this month. Points per system (3 of them) were 33.333 (just 3 decimal points used). Thanks!

Edit:
For reference, here's the Top 10 Units Bonus for your calculations, too. Checked Twinsanity and biglittleps, and both looked good to me.
1. 17
2. 13

Such a terrible performance to start the year. Too optimistic on the XB1.

Congrats, Twinsanity and biglittleps!
 
What's the difference between me and Tomb Raider?
I charted!
Will print it out and hang over my bed.
And congratulations to those that are even bigger experts then I am. You deserve all the praise and your own show on Gametrailers.

Oh, and for donny:

Damn, my best month ever!

Off to a good start this year. Grats to biglittleps and Twinsanity.

I thought my PS4 prediction was too high, but it was too low in the end and that's where I was off the most.

Must be the first time I'm in the top 10! (I tend to overestimate chronically, as I'm an eternal optimist)...
Won't last, so I'll enjoy it while I can :)

Fakedit: I almost made the top5... #oldmanshakesfistatclouds

Realedit: Thanks Donny!

Wait so what values did you use for each system?

Discussion was over in the NPD thread.

1. PS4 - 230K
2. XB1 - 130K
3. 3DS - 70K
4. WIU - 40K

Edit:
Thanks, all! January is always tough trying to get a feel on how systems will do in the year. XB1, Wii U, and 3DS all had pessimistic starts, but PS4 really knocked it out of the park this month. Here's looking forward to a more optimistic February with tax returns rising all ships in the tide!

Hmm, #19 for the month isn't too shabby, but could have been better. Congratulations to the winner and thanks, donny! Looks like I underestimated the PS4 and overestimated the XB1, like many others.
