Wait looks like there a mistake. COD IW second week drop is 55%, not 65%, apparently GFK made a typo. Real numbers:

BF1 - 158k

COD - 148K



Back to normalcy?



TBH being up 204% doesn't mean shit without numbers. Sales were probably quite bad the week before the launch of the Pro due to massive amounts of people waiting for it. Still selling 44% units more than the XB1 is good, from what I'm reading on NeoGAF the XB1 had some amazing deals.

Hopefully digital % was good for Dishonored 2 at least keeping it's pace with the first game.

200% increase of all PS4 sales doesn't seem very good for the Pro launch, was expecting a lot more with how it was tracking at several retailers with pre-orders.



Some more on PS4 and XB1 sales:

The launch of PS4 Pro was a solid one. The machine shifted over 40,000 units in the UK last week (GfK figures shown to Gamesindustry.biz). Sony has positioned the machine as a future proofing product ahead of an expected increase in 4K TV sales, so its first week performance won't prove particularly significant just yet. Combined with normal PS4 console sales, Sony sold over 65,000 machines and generated nearly £20m in revenue.

Xbox One also had a good week, despite not launching a new machine. Microsoft severely cut the price of its console last week, with older models being sold for as low as £170 from the likes of Microsoft's store, GAME and Currys. As a result, Xbox One shifted 45,000 devices, which will help continue the machine's momentum. As a result of the discounting, revenue was just over £9m

Here's one of those insane XB1 deals via NeoGAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224399160&postcount=127

Yesterday Tesco was selling for £179

Xbox One 500GB Console - Matte Black
Forza Horizon 3
Gears of War 4
Rise of The Tomb Raider
Quantum Break

Edit: incorrect apparently, it's only one of those game. Still an insane deal.

In stead of posting crap from neogaf, how about doing some little research and posting the actual link to the deal....
