Forums - Sales - NPD: Xone has sold more retail software in USA than PS4( tie ratio 2.75 XO, 2.18 PS4)

So Aquamarine who is pretty much vetted on NPD stuff (she knows the numbers) posted on Neogaf

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=104304111&postcount=2002

 

Launch through February:

XB1 tie ratio = 2.75
PS4 tie ratio = 2.18

Now LTD NPD's are PS4 2.54m, XBO 2.22m

Thus we can see that XBO has sold 6.105m software, PS4 has 5.537m.

Just, interesting. Wonder how it'll change going forward. It just shows PS4 is lacking compelling software right now I guess.



Around the Network

PS plus owners have also had 4 free games since launch

Edit:

And before anyone says anything you not what i mean by free. There still games that arent in this tie ratio that players will have played.

This. And perhaps PS4 is selling more digital copies of its games...

add to that the upgrade plan for cross gen games. 



xbo has better supply, ps4 supply sucks.



 

Around the Network

Xbox gamers continuing that trend from Gen 7. Sure as hell buy a lot of games.

Its why PS exclusives from western 3rd party devs are few. Cant turn down that Xbox userbase.



                            

game sales on disc aren't even worth discussing anymore, digital sales account for too big of a % of game sales. You can conclude that 4 million vs 2 million is meaningful even factoring digital sales, but 5.5 million vs 6.1 million (10% difference) is not enough of a difference to be able to draw any conclusions.

And some of PS4's best games are only available digitally.
