Isn't the Kinect-less XBOne launching?
I reckon a bump is to be reasonably expected, hence my optimistic guess, besides Watch_dogs may sustain sales of both PS4 and XboxOne.
Yeah, next month...

You think the the kinectless SKU releasing next month is going to bump sales this month? What? lol
You may want to check again. The Titanfall bundle is now half way down the 3rd page. If it's any indication, the sales have completely fallen off cliff.
No, I misread the OP and was assuming it was launching this month, hthat's why my XBOne prediction was that high.
By the way thank you for pointing that out, I am going to edit my post in the light of this misunderstanding of mine.
So far, I've been kinda confused by the predictions for everyone with the PS4's numbers dropping over the last month. Unlike the previous month, there's some serious releases to stir customer interest, including Watch_Dogs... And I think some of you really undersell the impact the Show has. There's a very dedicated fanbase that plays those games, and they always want the best version of it. I've seen customers buy a PS4 and a Vita just so they can have the best version of the game at home, and keep their RTTS mode with them as they travel. I'm not saying the numbers should be a blowout over the last month for the PS4, but the numbers certainly haven't tracked down for it at least. I'd be (very) surprised if the numbers were lower than the month before.
No need to recheck, it was in the 40s ranks already before the Kinectless SKU was announced. Kinectless SKU is at #271 right now.
I personally feel that the majority of people who wanted The Show and Watch_Dogs already had PS4s before those games released. Some put 300K (or close to it) for PS4 and personally, that (100K+ increase) seems more far fetched to me than the PS4 sales dropping down a little bit in comparison to last month. We'll see though.
Either way this is a pretty hard month to predict.
That last bit might be even more troubling than the best selling Xbone being on the 3rd page. If the Kinectless Bone doesn't noticeably increases sales for next month, then what?
Actually, I didn't make any preditions on actual numbers. I typically avoid doing so, because my bubble of retail observations aren't universal, so I just speculate on what I see in here.
Watch dogs being cross-gen and multi-plat will surely change how big of an impact it has on hardware sales, but it also is being heavily marketed on the PS4 side. Mind-share creates perception impact.
Edit: Haha, you stealth edited your statement to Some predicted. I'll leave mine as is.
Wow, some of you people are crazy with your WiiU numbers. I bet most people who care that much about Mario Kart already have a WiiU, and the game is only available for, what, two days in the month?
Yes, I got your post confused with others. That was my mistake.
It does but the thing with Watch_Dogs is that it was marketed alongside the PS4 for a really long time. The game was going to be a launch title and many people pre-ordered a PS4 mainly for the game. People were disappointed when Watch_Dogs got delayed but many also still kept their PS4 pre-orders or still got one due to the games that were out at launch + the fact that they knew that Watch_Dogs was still going to eventually come out on the PS4.
Heh, that's fine. I knew my mistake shortly after I made the post which is why I changed it fast.
Doesn't count for predictions anyway, but not sure if serious... :|There's also the new Vita model, which seems it's doing well compared to the shipments, and it'll certainly boost Vita sales 10x, at least, compared to April (no stock for two months)...still, it's the Vita.
[PSV] 40,000

Wiiu > ps4 > 100k > one

Wii U will see a Mario Kart bump and the new shipment of Vitas was actually sold out in my area and it sold out pretty fast according to various sales reps I talked to. Anecdotal but it seems for the first time in a long time, demand has surpassed supply for the Vita, supply was probably bad anyway.
Wii u sub 100k wpuld be preety horrible..

Though honestly, we have definitely seen the downturn on the XB1 numbers. Stayed on a pretty low end slope... How bad, I have no idea, but MS making that announcement so early definitely seemed to send ripples.
