LOL Vgchartz weekly numbers are a joke, is anyone surprised? 30 k for those few countries for x1? PS4 down 30k in a week cause reasons??? wait for adjustments. Either way horrendous numbers for x1 in europe and japan.


And now you just sould like a butthurt fanboy...


?? How are x1 numbers GOOD in europe?? Please show me these good numbers?? Statiung fact is not butthurt, why would I be butthurt?? 10.3 > 5.3

43k is pretty good for the Xbox One in EU.

You're not butthurt ? So why do you get THIS pissed ?

Are these numbers wrong ? Maybe, but even if, what's the problem ? Where's the need to go all berserk ?

 

Also, yes, Destiny was the most expected game of the year by far, no wonder people were holding off for a bundle.

I actually happen to know quite a lot of people who were doing so. In France, PS4 is the king. And it's pretty much the same in all Europe. So the 30k drop for PS4 isn't a surprise at all. You'll see next week, the PS4 will be an absolute beast.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Weekly hatware? :3

EU: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey

30k boost? These countries didn't have lifetime sales of 30k... how they even together can sell 30k


Come on. The Scandinavian countries alone are at least 30% of the population of the UK. I doubt the number of units sold / capita are any less than the UK.

The PS4 already sold a million units in the UK so it stands to reason that it sold several hundred thousand units in Scandinavia already.

Add in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland and you got a market with roughly as many potential buyers as the UK. And that's without factoring in Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Turkey with many, many more citizens (but arguably lower purchasing power and fewer buyers per capita).

X1 is not the PS4......ps4 outsells x1 5 - 6:1 in many of these places.

You're completly wrong. Poland alone has 100k ps4 already sold, and ps2+ps3 had cumulative lifetime sales of over a million in this single country (both numbers official from Sony). So yes, you can have nice lifetime numbers in those countries (relative to their size and wealth). However, Sony contrary to MS actually cares a lot about Poland, and launched ps4 here in the same time as rest of the Europe.

As for x1 - yes, it was available here from tier 1 launch, and even publishers had published X1 games with polish language before official launch in this country (!). But now MS has run some marketing and promotions, and prices  were slighly lowered. It's still unlikely to make that much of sales, as most of those countries are completly Playstation devoted and don't care about X1.

How much 360 sold in poland lifetime? 100k for PS4 is for 10-11 months... at launch it sold what?

EU I'm not even geting mad but RotW is just utter bullshit... 20k in Chile, Colombia, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates? C'mon.



The One shows signs of life! Good number!
Wii U below PS4 in Japan, less than half of the One in the US and beaten by 8k in Europe by the PS3 (and beaten by 400% by the PS4...)and it will only get worse next week and likely until Smash releases.
Still got 2nd place on lockdown?

Remains to be seen what the One can do this holiday season though and over new years, but with the Kinect out of the picture and some room for maneuvering with pricing and some system sellers underway; 2015 should show good growth for the One.

I don't get the outrage. Such a small boost is still pitiful for a launch week. If it wasn't for Destiny, the PS4 would be comfortably ahead despite the boost.

This is my view. The tier 2 launch doesn't really seem like it did much. Not saying it isn't overtacked (though no point to call that with nothing to back it up), but 43K after such a launch doesn't look that great. Next week's deal will lift it a bit (with Desitny), though.

People are just flipping out because they can't seem to stomach the fact that the XBO is #1 this week. That's the only explanation I can find, really.

43 k and 26 k for europe and japan launch and BArely outselling ps4 by a miniscule amount is not good for launch week no.....the number for europe are bad.

Quite the boost for X1 with the release in the rest of Europe :).


HUH?? For launch week it is horrendous, it barely beat PS4...and chances are it never knowing Vgchartz probably overtracked, no way PS4 dropped 30 k in 1 week.


Considering X1 has been available in most of these countries almost since its launch in America, yes it is :). And I don't actually care if it sells better than PS4, as long as I get great games. But it fun to read the disbelief of so many PS4 fans :).
