Final Fantasy 15 PS4 sales stomp all over the Xbox One version

Final Fantasy 15 sold through the lion’s share of copies on the PlayStation 4 following its debut last week, according to data obtained by GfK Chart-Track.

.....

To be more specific, almost four in every five copies of the JRPG sold in the U.K. last week were on Sony’s flagship console, with the PS4 version accounting for 79 percent of physical sales of Final Fantasy 15 at launch. By comparison, the Xbox One edition scooped just 21 percent of all copies sold.

As a result of the game’s success on PS4, Final Fantasy 15 became the best-selling videogame on Sony’s current-generation machine last week. For Xbox One, the title only managed sixth place behind Forza Horizon 3, FIFA 17, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Minecraft: Xbox Edition, and Battlefield 1.

When you consider that PS4 outsells the Xbox One is all but the US and FF 15 is a Japanese game, it makes perfect sense. Not to mention having a much higher install base.

Meh, XB1 gamers buy more of their games digitally and sony games only buy physical games. If we had digital numbers it would be a totally different story.

That^

But I think that even if numbers would be different, the Play Station Four version of the game will be ahead obviously because of the player base and... Japan :)

Not surprising, really... Just as expected. Even FFXIII sold far better on the PS3.

Not 4:1 better, in Europe it's <2:1 lifetime, according to VGC estimates.

PS4 sales could be more front loaded with a bigger established fanbase who will buy the game early, whereas teh Xbox gamer base will take their time to pick it up. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio went down over time. Though I expect it would stay above 2:1 and possibly 3:1.

Go back and check my previous edited post with links.  You called out Digital Foundry.  Even they said the PS3 version was the overall better version.  The PS3 version of FFXIII had both graphics AND gameplay.  Same goes with FFXV.

We were talking about ff15 and df said Xbox 1 version runs better.

Depends how you define "runs better". The Xb one version sacrificed resolution for a stable framerate. Or rather the Xb one version was incapable of 1080p and thus frame rate is easier to maintain stability.

I do think any developer who sacrifices frame rate for resolution is making the wrong decision in general. But if the fps drops aren't too bad then it can be argued that the overall experience is better at higher resolution with some fps sacrifice. Personally I'd rather 900p with solid 30fps. But not everyone sees it that way. And we've all been able to cope with games that have modest fps drops.

Crazy domination worldwide.  just crazy to think it gets such a big share of Playstation focused titles.  like xbox focused titles such as destiny etc never do this.  and it's why SE were crazy not launching ROTR day 1 on ps4. it would have sold 3 times the xb1 version easily.  

what is an xbox focused title? cause im starting to think there is no such thing. Especially considering how much titles sell better across the board on PS4 no matter the genre it seems. Hell even Titanfall 2 is doing better on PS4 despite being a sequel to an actual Xbox title. There are PS focused games seeing as certain titles do better on PS systems no matter how much less its selling than the comp (Tekken 6 and FF13 come to mind from last gen)

Isn't it obvious?  games that are more biased to a certain platform compared to others. 

 

Destiny's made by bungie and so naturally would be attractive to xbox buyers given their history.  so sales between the 2 platforms are a lot closer than other series such as FFXV,  tomb raider etc.

Don't understand why snoopy thought that if ff15 had a 20% attach ratio in Uk , then that means the same ratio everywhere else. If the xb1 version got 20% attach ratio in a country where the install base is close to each other, I can't imagine the attach ratio in germany, italy and rest of europe, not to mention japan. That being said, it might sell 500k-1m LTD which could be enough to justify the port.
