@bill_at_zeboyd But, if you took Next-gen only, @playstation says "inFAMOUS Second Son was the top selling next gen software title in April"

Not sure what that means..

Infamous was the best selling next gen exclusive for the month. At least that's what I take away from it.

Outselling Titanfall X1 without bundles is quite the feat, especially as the first one is selling a copy with almost every X1 purchase..

Lol Rol told me not to get his hopes up with this one.

Well Rol are you happy now

Happy about the Xbox One sales. It's time for bananaking21 to get the champagne out.

However, for complete satisfaction I need confirmation for a sub-200k month for the PS4.

NeoGaf is speculating it might be bus 150k.

The statement not precise enough.

Could mean best-selling 8th gen exclusive (excluding Titanfall) or best-selling game on a 8th gen console (including Titanfall).

And don't forget that the ones bundled with hardware don't count.

Also, considering that VGChartz showed the XB1 winning April in the US... can we get a GAF mod to ban it from twitter also?

It does show how bad Kinect Sports sold and it had a pretty big marketing budget. It's not good for my friend who worked on it, but I suspect it might allow them to work on something that isn't kinect... but it's always nice to see a game you work on sell well, so I do feel sorry for him.

Comparison with 360 numbers courtesy of Aquamarine

360:
April 2006 - 295K

April 2007 - 174K

April 2008 - 188K

April 2009 - 175K

April 2010 - 185K

April 2011 - 297K

April 2012 - 236K

April 2013 - 130K

Xbox One:

April 2014 - 115K

Xbox 360 has never managed such a low number for April.

And the 360 was almost tripple the X1's first April sales. That's awful. MS is gonna have to do much more than just drop the price to $399 if they want to win NA.
