Forums - Sony Discussion - Two Thirds Of Need For Speed Sales Were On The PS4 (UK)

GribbleGrunger on 09 November 2015

The PS4 version of Need For Speed managed to outsell the Xbox One version by 2:1 during its first week on sale, according to data released by UK sales tracking company GfK Chart-Track.

While total sales figures for the racer have yet to be announced by EA, 67% of all physical UK sales were taken on PS4, with Xbox One securing just 33%. The game entered at No.3 in this week's charts.

The figures do not account for copies sold digitally.

Elsewhere this week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 also managed to sell the most amount of copies on PS4, although the sales split was much tighter than that of Need For Speed, with 48% sold on PS4 and 43% on Xbox One.

A PC version of Need For Speed is due for release early next year.

Well, many EA Access members were probably scared off by the trial version. And the ones that liked it probably bought the digital version.

Makes sense.  Many probably felt 10 hours was enough for this game and didn't feel like spending their Halo or CoD money on it.

Tell me about it. Sadly some companies believe it's poor value.

PC version being delayed again does not bode well and probably means a shit port so I don't see sales picking up much at all, especially with the time frame..

It can't be because people prefer the PS4, so I'm inclined to believe that ... And we all know that no one buys games digitally on the PS4. Makes sense ...
