You expect a format that has only just won the HD format war a few months ago to have more than 5% against a format that has been around as the leading format for more than 10 years...
20% leap caused by a single title. I know the usual crybabies won't acknowledge this but sales are obviously reflective of the titles. As outrageous as it might seem studios weren't releasing many decent titles in April / May.
Instead they were holding them back for Father's day and they're coming from about now onwards. I fully expect sales from May 20 onwards to be much higher than anything seen in the last few months.
