ok, so 10 guys say it means that it is the general opinion of everybody on this site?

So my sarcastic comment.

I know PS4 had way more games than Xbone... and it had more variety too.

The Titanfall boost was before the price drop. 

I hear mostly from PS fans that PS4 doesn't need games to sell since it has all those free games. And then the usual list is given.

Back up your comment please. 1-2 people isn't "mostly" PS4 fans. Your generalizations are hilarious. Good try though bud.



BAM! Those are some nice sales for the PS4. It's probably gonna drop off quite a bit next week but still. The Xbox one retained alot of sales on the US this week though, pretty impressive. I'm thinking infamous sold 600k ~ 700k.

Also, dem PSV sales. Granted, Japan is carrying the PSV really hard but still great to see its sale improve.

inFAMOUS sales will be interesting. I'm expecting around 700k+

Vita keeps rising. Next week could be as high as 80k.


You expect vita #s in japan to be over 52k? 

"As high as". So, up to 52k, sure. But more likely around 43-45k or so.


Was trying to say vita got a nice boost already but 45k is understandable. 50k is definitely doable, i just thnk vita already boost wont be multiplied, but we'll see next week :)

How much is vita ahead now(yoy), should be doing quite nicely





FFX did release for this week right? Nobody concerned about HW boost in US+Europe? Might be undertracked

Great for PS4.

Ahh there's the reality check! Awesome PS4 sales, over 200k, now that's a boost! :)


Its actually not that much of a boost. Yeah its over 200k but its not the 108% boost that X1 received. 

Percentages are deceiving. Seems to me like they both got the same boost in pure numbers, or thereabouts. PS4 boost was mostly due to the new inFAMOUS-related PS4 stock coming in though

True, while X1 boost was just Titanfall

And a price cut, basically. 

I am sure many people bought a PS4 for inFAMOUS this week though. After all, people buy consoles for the games, right?

Yup. I'm sure the X1 boost was because of Titanfall...Nothing due to a 50-100$ price cut lmao. Titan fall was basically given out for free.

Edit - and according to some, people buy consoles just to look at them in their home. Nothing to do with the games. Boosts come from stock, not games! Derp!

Sorry im on my phone and have no reason to search for quotes. This comes up in Software sales comparisons when X1 sells more than PS4 in US.

Vita US #s are 5,133???? Last week was 4,969. Thats such a low boost (up by around 150)for one of the biggest game releases (first half of year)


Now I'm not saying this is the reason Vita numbers in the US are still so low but if the Best Buy district I work in is any indication retailers have been shipped 0 Vita's the last month. Our stock systems even show that none are on the way either. Sony's most likely clearing their stock of 1000 model Vita's in favor of the 2000's model release.

Makes sense, but FFX should of been pushed back to coincide with vita slim launch imo. Also Doesn't Europe have slim already or is that UK only? wat did Europe do last week?



You guys can call it the Infamous boost all you want, even whithout a game PS4 wouldve sold what it sold simply cause it was in stock the entire week. It was a supply bump realy.
