EU numbers are great but seem odd...
What would cause the sales to be 4 times bigger than last week in Europe ?

 

  • 2nd September: Chile and Colombia
  • 4th September: Japan
  • 5th September: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates

Oh right ! I forgot about that, thanks :)

Yeah that explains that, nice boost from these countries !

Ya think? 2.4k on average as the launch week sales for each of these markets doesn't seem very flash to me. 29 markets (excluding Japan) adding about 50k to the week's numbers means less than 2k average launch week per market. Baseline as a proportion of launch week must be in the 5-10% range so 29 markets looking like adding about 3-4k to xb one's baseline I'm guessing, and Japan chipping in with between 500 and 1000 per week. Pretty much comes out as I predicted that tier 2 will up xbone weeklies by about 5k outside holidays. It's not really something for MS to get too excited about.

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?? Stating fact is not butthurt, why would I be butthurt?? 10.3 > 5.3. Thos enumbers show how poor x1 is being received in europe, expect the next few weeks numbers to plummet.

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.


There's a bundle coming the following week. People are holding off. Just like people held off their XBO purchase the week before its price drop :)

A little down yes, but 30 k??? no.



I didn't notice the big 3DS drop! Well it should go back up again with Smash but that is pretty low.

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

 

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.

So the XBOX ONE is now the best selling home console in Japan and in the world- Wow

3 weeks ago it was destined to come in 3rd place behimd the Wii U (according to some Nintendo fans) and this week it is the top selling console in Japan and the World- I wonder who will come In 2nd in Japan - Wii U or PS4?

My sarcasm meter is beeping like crazy

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.

Why would they drop next week? That week has those deals with "Buy an Xbox, get a free game", plus Destiny.

Because these are launch numbers, not baseline sales. That week, the PS4 also has the Destiny bundle in both EU and Japan.

There is still UK, France, and Germany to boost the numbers up thanks to the deals. Plus, who knows how many held off a purchase that week when Destiny launches the next week?

Yes, who knows how many held off purchasing the PS4 Destiny bundle.
