Marketing partnership between Sony and Activision payed off, obviously. Money spent well.


What the most noteworthy IMO is that they risked to spend the money on a new IP, like they spent money on another new IP, Watch_dogs with success.

Their money was indeed really well spent between Destiny and Watch_dogs, the only money they spent on marketing exclusivity this year, I do think, both games being the best selling games of this year.

But PS3 hardware > X360 hardware in UK this week? Wow!


This surprised me as Destiny on PS3 sold worst of all platforms. Not that it would mean much in UK for PS3, though...

What do you want us to read here, exactly? I didn't criticize Sony's moneyhat in any way in this post.

I did not ctiticize either, juet pointing something out like you.

Pointing out MS has more money? That's not necessary. Spend more than Sony? As we will never know any details on who spends how much money for what any discussions about it is just wild guessing.



The deals the UK has this last 2 weeks have been amazing, for both PS4 and Xbone. Both got as low as £320 with Destiny I think. I'm waiting for that £300 with a game mark.



Hmm, pie.

man XB1 average selling price is really low. they really are having a tough time in the UK trying to compete with PS4. good numbers for both though.

Good, so the ONE must have increased reasonably well too.

PS4 will have increased from about 8k to about 24k

ONE will have increased from about 6k to about 12k


You need a better calculator, as your numbers are completely wrong, I'm 95% sure of it.

If we go by VGC approximately, PS4 should be around 32K, and X1 at about 16K.

It says the sales are up 300%, so the actual sales quadrupled. If the  prior week was 8k then this week is 32k.

Also the other thing is that the average price for the One was 306, so it was cheaper than PS4.



Could touch 40k

300% increase would be 32k.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

So 32k at least, good, VGC wont be able yo undertrack it there.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
