that's some nice growth and i'm truely surprised.  i know i for one skipped DS2 while holding out for a next gen release.  i though there would be a lot of guys, like me, who are waiting.

Yes, considering the time of release and the fast decline of last gen consoles, that growth is really impressive. I'm not so sure about "next gen" release, it's not even hinted, we'll see I guess.

were VGC's US numbers adjusted after February NPD's numbers came out?

I had a good laugh reading the prediction topic x)

Pretty much expected all the handwaving and FUD as soon as I saw the Xone pull ahead globally, LOL.

Still, to pretend these numbers aren't impressive is ridiculous considering that the Xbox One is only out in less than a third of the countries the PS4 is. Now the issue becomes whether or not it will have a long term effect; there won't be many big exclusives between now and Fall, so it'll be interesting to see whether this changes the dynamic over the next few months.

To be honest, I'm still doubtful about the Xone's prospects through the rest of the year. The price/performance issue is still going to hang over MS until we get a full, proper price drop, and Titanfall did jack shit for them outside the States. Even with the supply issues, the PS4 still outsold them in Europe this week. We'll just have to see I guess.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

72% boost of PS4 sales in the UK but only a 2k boost week over week in all of europe? Something seems very fishy, or was stock that low?

What? No, figures must be wrong. Titanfall is definitely no system seller and won't push Xbone by any considerable amount. It's not even an exclusive and just another dumb COD-clone with mixed reviews and Angry Joe had an awesome and very true review with a 7/10 score.
Please don't just make numbers up!

Are the people that said that more or less stupid than those that predicted Xbox One would sell easily over 200k this week?


Please do us a favor and name some users who said it'd be over 200k.


http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6143085

There's one for an example. Look in the Xbox Nation thread and predicition threads and I'm sure you'll find more, as well as people saying Titanfall would sell far more software than it did

Edit: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=180093

Over 40 users in that poll predicted hardware sales over 200k for this week.

Stock has been low. There's been a boost but nothing to not make stock an issue.

whoa. A day for the history books i'm sure ;)

Like those magical few weeks where 360 outsold PS3 in Japan. Miracles do happen :P

As a side not: Can people stop saying "Why buy the console game when its also on PC". Because clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Console gaming for life! and by the looks of it, many also believe that.

What do you mean exactly? It IS on pc..  Not only that but it is apparently the best version with 4k support and better controls via mouse and keyboard. Seems like a valid point.  Furthermore it isnt nearly a taxing game to run so even if you meant it in the same old "aint nobody can afford dat"  kinda way it just makes you seem stupid. Playing on consoles is just as fine,  but dismissing the other platforms for no real reason is just fanboyism.
