Almost anybody here making a real statement about these numbers is being hypocritical. Anytime someone tries to use any of the VGhartz numbers to support an opinion, they get crushed with the "VGchartz #'s are bogus" line. Yet, every week, we all rush to comment on these threads with the numbers...

OT : I thought TLOUHD would have done about 100k more. Won't probably matter much, as the game will sell well during the holidays.

VGC has been in a less ridiculous margin of error before. The only reason the "VGC #s are bogus" even came up is because month after month, VGC kept having the XBone above the PS4 in the US, yet NPD kept repeatedly showing that to be untrue (and by a fair margin, as well). Their numbers are better now, with PS4 not being so undertracked and XBone not being immensely overtracked (the had the XBone overtracked by 100% one month). And even falls in line with the "Amazon Theory" which, in terms of Amazon ranking determining which console is selling more, has been pretty accurate since the gen started.

And TLOU:R numbers are just America numbers. The original release sold nearly the same in Europe as it did in America. If that is indicative of anything, then Europe numbers for the game FW should be around 250-280K. Add in the rest of the world + digital, and this game could easily cross 700K FW. Not too bad for a cash grab, unnecessary re-release that shouldn't exist.

For the first time since the launch window the PS4 has overtaken the Xbox One with regards to SOFTWARE NUMBERS in USA.

PS4 367,594 (+338%) 10,143,228
XOne 64,904 (-10%) 10,081,193

That's indeed interesting and the current small gap will probably get larger with time.


I don't know if that's necissarily true...it's true that this is the first time that RETAIL sales of software have overtaken the Xbox One...but I haven't bought a SINGLE title at retail...I buy all of my PS4 software digitally...and that isn't tracked.

If these numbers are even close to accurate (I think that they are close...but will still probably be adjusted later)...then it's a huge embarrassment for the $399 Xbox One!

1. They are selling 35,000(ish) consoles a week in NA, roughly the same numbers as were selling before the $399 sku was released.

2. They are being outsold (worldwide) by the WiiU.

3. The PS4 DOUBLED the sales of Xbox One in NA alone (!)

4. The PS4 TRIPLED the sales of the Xbox One worldwide (!!)

If it's this bad NOW, what's September going to look like? The XB1 is getting MAULED.

Nice week. XOne is a bit low, though.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

WoW massive upwards adjustment for PS4s overall numbers. Also I thikn we can put to rest the dumb argument about Last of Us remaster beeing unecessary, too early and whatnot its even moving Ps4s.

Yeah, I'm kinda tempted to make a thread just to rub it in, but I think I'll hold off on that, maybe someone else can make it he feels like it.


I kinda want to read The Drills acessment on how this latest Ps4s nuumber actualy mean its loosing steam and that itll be selling less than PSVita in a year time :)

Just realized that Tomb Raider DE has sold 0.46m LT on the PS4. TLOU:R should outsell it week 1 WW o.o

Well, PS4 install base now > PS4 install base then

Also, TLOU original release >>>> Tomb Raider (PS3).

So really, this isn't that surprising.

-don't need this twice on one post lol-

For the record, I was referring to the sales numbers, not the quality of the games. Although I do feel that way about the quality of the games, as well

WiiU still selling good numbers, this is great, can't wait to see the numbers when SSB comes out.
