Do you remember when Yusuf Mehdi claimed that 360 owners are still more satisfied with their console than PS3 owners?
Seems to be true in the UK.

So those PS3 owners who weren't satisfied by there PS3's went out and bought a PS4. Yep, that makes sense.

No one said that PS3 owners didn't like their console, but they may have a higher demand for a new console.

And I was referring to the drop of the last-gen Fifa numbers, not current-gen sales numbers.

Wasn't expecting the gap to be so big between PS4 and X1 to be honest.

I find posts like this puzzling.

FIFA is a huge multiplat. Why wouldnt a console with a larger install base not sell similar to that install base? It looks about right to me.

Again though, these numbers are now proving what I have been saying. PS3 owners have jumped sooner.

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?

PS4 fifa beats XB1 fifa easily, wasn't expecting that. XB1 only narrowly beats PS4 with an official bundle and a price cut...this may be a long holiday for MS. Congrats for winning a week though!

Maybe, or perhaps 360 users haven't found a reason to upgrade to a current gen console yet.

Normally means someone high up in GAME who has Chart-Track details telling MCV. Don't know why people don't believe this, its the same as PS4 double X1 sales during X1 week.

I completely believed it but just wondered what it meant exactly, thanks for the info.

I don't think there's any evidence to support that claim, if anything it seems the reverse is true with the X360 constantly maintaining decent sales on big titles like Destiny, FIFA, and W_Ds. If anything, this would mean that people have NOT jumped from the X360 to any other platform yet.
