But anyway, if more PS3 owners jumped, that's a good thing, no ? That means they trust more Sony to get a PS4.
While 360 owners wait for reasons to jump on One

of course more PS3 owners jumped. look at the sales of the XB1 to the PS4. massive difference. and the reason for that is more people want a PS4. 


But it seems people want to spin it as a bad thing, like Yusef from microsoft did " 360 owners dont jump because they were more satisfied with 360 than PS3 owners with PS3 lol " , dat logic


people can spin it however they want. the facts will stay the same though.

It is very interesting that 360 owners are still buying whilst PS3 owners aren't. This clearly indicates that more PS3 owners have jumped to next gen sooner


Talk about anedoctal evidence, specially because the PS3 has a much smaller base on the UK compared to the 360. We could use MGS V: GZ numbers and that would point the opposite just as Watch Dogs numbers would do the same in a lesser scale.


Shh, let him dream

Anyway, back to previous points. There are 9.7M xboxes in UK vs 7M Playstations

the 50:50 ratio is good for PS and we don't even know HW numbers yet for this week

Pretty accurate dreams, really.

It's from February but still quite the statistic.

You know that split is an awful lot closer than I expected. Good for you X1, goes to show exclusive advertising means relatively little.


The only thing is we may never know this. X1 could of sold more copies if there wasn't any exclusive advertising as its a Bungie, FPS which has a massive fanbase on Xbox due to Halo

Or less if it was not a free game with Xbone in UK

BTW the difference is 30% that is close to the tie rate in UK (1.5:1).



pockethamster on 15 September 2014

In spite of all the negative press, the hype train that 15 year olds are jumping on, and the media hyperbole it's very impressive numbers from the Xbone.

People are quickly realising there really is very little difference between the 2 consoles - 40% more power just didn't show up in Destiny and that's going to only benefit MS.

Does Destiny sales include the free game with a new XOne?

If not its quite surprising. I´ve seem that 80% of my friends are playing Destiny, but couldn´t tell if that was a WW effect.

Yes.

Chart-track always add free bundled games... NPD and MediaCreate don't (Famitsu add too).

4% for PS3? Wow, sad for the only console with free online-gaming... I expected way more on PS3. I think the interest in this console will massively drop even further from now on.

This is news to you? Interest for both last gen consoles has dropped considerably since their successors arrived. Look at the weekly sales if you want proof, been like this for months.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I see nothing that proves him right


so u dont see the drop for ps3 software being 35% while the x360 drop is only 28/29%?

if ur blind, no problem. i tell u, what u have to look at


Or maybe the "drop" happened because last year's numbers were bigger than you'd expect because of all the PS3 exclusives released, specially TLOU.

Not that hard to figure out. It does not work the way you are trying to play it.


what about the xb360 excusives?

gears of war judgement (march 2013) and halo4 (november 2012. ofc this sold many units in  early 2013, too)?
