DUTY CALLS

14/Nov/2016

‘Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’ (-65%) remains at No1 for a second week.

‘Fifa 17’ (+6%) moves back up to No2 pushing ‘Battlefield 1’ (-39%) down to No3. It means the sole new entry in this weeks’ Top 10 is Bethesda’s ‘Dishonored 2’. The sequel is down 38% on the original ‘Dishonored’, which launched on 360, PS3 and PC in 2012. Its arrival pushes another Bethesda title ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition’ (-64%) down to No5. Several titles are boosted by retailer promotions this week with ‘Forza Horizon 3’ (+60%) climbing four places to No6 and ‘Overwatch’ (+144%) jumping eleven places to No7. However it’s ‘Lego Dimensions’ (+556%) who is the chief beneficiary with a huge sales increase propelling it from No37 back into the Top 10 at No9. EA’s ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ (+30%) continues its week on week climb up two places to No10.

Two other titles make their debuts in the Top 40 this week. The first is ‘Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization’ at No33. Finally Ubisoft’s VR title ‘Eagle Flight’ for PS4 lands at No39.

Sony’s new powerful Pro console is in stores and has helped PS4 console sales triple in the UK. 

That’s according to GfK hardware data seen by MCV for the week ending Saturday, November 12th, which says that overall PlayStation 4 sales rose 204 per cent week-on-week.

Of total PS4 sales for this period, 65 per cent of them were PlayStation 4 Pro. Sales of the original PlayStation 4 models – launch and slim – rose 8.5 per cent week-on-week.

Total PS4 sales were 44 per cent higher than Xbox Ones, with Sony's console claiming a 53 per cent share of the hardware market. Microsoft's machine took a 37 per cent slice. 

It was a good sales period for Microsoft also, with the Xbox One seeing an 85 per cent jump week-over-week. This will in part be due to the platform holder cutting the price of original Xbox One models.

The PlayStation 4 Pro launched on November 10th after being announced at an event in New York in September.

Previously codenamed Neo, the machine is a more powerful version of the original PlayStation 4, boasting 4.2 teraflops of power. Xbox is also releasing a super-powered machine – Scorpio – next year, a piece of hardware that boasts six teraflops.

As of the end of the last fiscal quarter (September 30th), Sony had shipped 47.4m PlayStation 4s worldwide.

Pro domination.

some XB1 bundles had a 100£ discount. which is massive. whats also interesting is that MS still has stock of their old bundles on store shelfs, even though the slim was launched during August. talk about over shipping.

I hope the pro picks up some speed in the holiday sales.

Disappointing, pro bombed.

Looks like the Pro did a good job, considering it wasn't only on the ex market for 2-3 days .
