An anonymous source and one retailer. Makes no sense to me.

It's odd that. Globally it's 360 owners that appear to be jumping over quickest (even in the US, relative to install bases), which makes sense when considering all the factors that will play into that, but the UK is the only major exception. I wonder why?

How do you know this?  Please dont say because Sony said so...

VGC mostly, but I've recently started compiling a list of shipments from publishers (by platform) to get a better understanding of things.

Even accounting for VGCs standard margin of error, the PS3's software sales in the last year are quite a lot ahead of the 360's. I personally think the gap is smaller than VGC suggests (i think both are under tracked for software, but the 360 more), but i'd say the base statement of "PS3 > 360" is more likely than not.

It's not like it's a particularly surprising trend either. The 360 has both been on the market for longer and had a slightly better tie ratio in that time. I'm sure the 360's poor exclusive AAA support in recent years also plays a part, but i wouldn't credit it as a particularly significant one.

The UK also appears to be the odd one out in VGCs data (by a similar degree it's worth noting).

You don't have to agree, that's simply what the data I've looked at appears to be implying. It's not fact, just what seems to be the most probable. Hence i said 360 owners "appear" to be jumping over quickest.

The Last of Us continues to amaze!

Shame that Vita version of FIFA is not even in top 40 :-/ the FIFA. bundle has a voucher, right? Do they count that?


Why you want people to buy the same game every year on Vita



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

The sales split is about how I expected it to be. PS4 to narrowly beat 360 and X1 to trail them by quite some distance despite the exclusive marketing and bundle.

Not surprising to see the PS4 version of FIFA outselling the rest, but it IS surprising to see the Xbox One outsell the PS4 for the Week in the UK.

The retailer will most likely is GAME and GAME will be quoting Chart-Track figures not just their own. MCV do this all the time, but when it's about PS4 figures you have no problem believing it (not you, in general)

Destiny still holding up just fine :)


Hu? Below the PS3 FIFA can't be very many units.

PS3 FIfa may have been the weakest selling of the SKU's but sales are still high by normal game standards. If destiny is just trailing that, that equals a strong second week indeed.

But... it has new kits! Surely worth £30!



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I think many of us underestmated the launch of FIFA 15.
