Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD - Xbox One YTD 2013: 4.8M retail games vs. 4.2M for PS4

1st/2nd party sales made the difference

XB1 1,5M with Dead Rising, Forza 5 and Ryse.

PS4 600K with Killzone and Knack

This. There are simply more games to buy. And PS4 also has Killzone, so no suprise sales of BF4 and COD are slightly lower.

US only, so that doesn't really matter. Ps4 is dominating worldwide.


The downplay is strong in this one.

Of course they are going to sell more software in the US, they have sold more harware there! This may change when the PlayStation becomes readily avaiable, but we will have to wait and see.

Except they haven't.



This won't last as the instal gap gets bigger. But im happy one fact from last gen, that Xbox gamers spent more then the cash-strapped PS fans, carried over for the time being.

(not trolling since 360 does have a 85+ million software gap).



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

VGCHARTZ has it at 4.8 million for the XBONE and 4.2 million for the PS4. Did they adjust a lot or were they spot on?

This has been discussed to death in the NPD thread already.

Say it ain't so!

600k is massive. Especially with the 100 dollars difference.

Seems like an odd reply to what i said, but i disagree with it anyway :P They have lost a huge chunk of their US market to Sony, so i can't imagine they are overly please with such a small win. Even with the 100 dollar difference ^^

They are probably even less pleased knowing some of that victory comes from supply issue of your competition, not demand for their own product.

Agreed it surprises me that people don't realize this.  MS is going toe to toe with the PS4 in the US when it just got done hood stomping the PS3 last gen.  This is great for the X1 but lets be honest here no one at MS is jumping for joy right now. They want to continue to take more and more of the market share away from Sony not lose a huge chunk of it to Sony.

I don't get why you would be happy? Do you recieve a portion of the money that MS makes or something? I get involved in these sales topics because it's semi-interesting and I get very bored at work. What I've never done is get happy one way or the other because it doesn't matter to me. Well I did want to see the PS4 do well but that's only because I got a dreamcast and the system was abadoned like a year after I got it.

PS4 is ahead in hardware sales.



You guys need to see the truth.
