Dat Halo MCC drop is shocking.


What is it?  % terms...


This. Probably just a normal drop. Lots of big games are being released so of course it will drop. I bet the numbers are still quite impressive.



I get that MS threw money into exclusive advertising but are people really expecting that to negate the PS4's install base?

Look at the percentages, not the number the games chart because everything in the top 20 is selling a shit ton lol



MCC dropped 8 places if you take out the new releases above it. That's a steep drop.

By comparison SO increased 2 places when taking out the new releases above it. So that's a good hold.

Weird that Fifa and CoD are quite a bit higher on the chart for Xb one. If anything that might indicate that bundles are selling and thus Xb one is ahead again this week. OTOH the other Xb one multiplat "exclusive" Ass Creed is higher for PS4.

So FC4 "is by far the most successful in terms of week1 sales". We have FC3 on 360 ~110 FW. "By far" implies something like 150K, it's not "nearly double" so it isn't 190K+, it's not "more than double" so it's not >120K, and it's not "slightly more" so it's >120K. As GTA is above that it means also >150K. Bummer we don;t know the sku % splits for either FC4 or GTA. Bummer we also don't have Black Ops VGC data for UK.

Huh?
Did u look at the GtaV split?

It clearly does not work that well
1,4:1 sales ratio only, while FarCry 4 has 1,65:1

It works for both and don't work for both. Always depends on the game and many other factors


Thas really some weird selectiv perception

Are you telling me that this proves I'm wrong when I say the advertising deals help Sony but not MS?

GTA5

58% PS4

41% XB1

Far Cry 4

50% PS4

30% XB1

DA:I

43% PS4

30% XB1

Hardware ratio is 1.34:1 to PS4, so any game that sells at a ratio greater than that in favour of PS4, with exclusive advertising/content has benefitted PS4. OTOH, DA:I had advertising exclusivity with MS and its sales ratio in favour of PS4 is slightly better than GTAV. FC4 was definitily good for PS4 since that sales ratio is way higher for PS4.

Big PS4 domination.

Loved it.

The sales ratio shows a userbase at least 1.4x bigger for PS4... YEAP UNDERTRACKED in UK.



does anybody see that thing in the right corner on the first page ?

From GAF (what a change).

Dragon Age Origins

Xbox 360 (59%)
PC (41%)

Note: The PS3 version was released 2 weeks later.

Dragon Age II

Xbox 360 (57%)
PlayStation 3 (22%)
PC (21%)

Dragon Age: Inquisition

PlayStation 4 (43%)
Xbox One (30%)
Xbox 360 (12%)
PC (9%)
PlayStation 3 (6%)

 

PS4 domination is the best.



From GAF too.

Already a better seller on Xbox One in the UK than Forza Horizon 2 and Halo MCC and already doing better on PS4 than DriveClub and Last of Us

It is GTA of course.

Yeah, I'm surprised too. Like I said, that exclusive advertising deal doesn't seem to have helped the XB1 at all, but the exclusive advertising deals for the PS4 have. It shows quite clearly that, if given a choice and a reason, more people will opt for the PS4.


huh?

It has a better ratio than Far Cry and very similar to GTA

People need to stop looking at just chart positions.

Same goes for Halo.  Yes it dropped on the chart, but this doesnt tell us the actual sales drop.

 

There's no way to slice that DA;I exclusive advertising ffor Xb one was beneficial to MS. DA:I went to PS4 at a higher ratio than the current hardware ratio. Exclusive advertising should at least have put that ratio in Xb one's favour.

The weird thing about GTA is that GTAV PS3:360 ratio compared to hardware ratio is better for PS3. So the new gen versions ratio only being slightly in favour of PS4 is odd, considering the exclusive advertising.
