The PS4 had bundles too.

Not official ones. Or are we saying bundles don't matter much now?

at least in uk its true, that x360 user dont move to current gen (ps4 or x1) as fast as ps3 user

Your charts and reasoning also doesn't account for the idea that some gamers simply elected not to buy the new iteration of those annual franchises.

No,  only a fool believes that,  it proves 360 was bigger in the UK then ps3. Both xbox and ps3 owners are migrating more toward ps4. Ps3 software is higher then 360 in 2014.


what?
or do u talk about worldwide flat software numbers according to chartz?

 

because this:

some updates form the uk

the decline gap is getting bigger:

 

and last year cod 360 vs ps3 first week ratio was 1,8:1
this year cod sales ratio is 1,9:1

and this:

You'd have a point if UK was all earth and 360 never nearly doubled ps3 in the UK.  It is a moronic argument.  

...you mentioned UK yourself in the post. And this is a UK thread.

But not the other way around when it comes to 8th gen? wow


His?  I never said otherwise are you seeing things? 


Your posts in the other thread. You talk about how people were expecting it to sell better on Xbox (without any proof) even though the PS4 install base is bigger.

Explained many times now... Some fames sell better on certain platforms despite install base.  Cod also has Dlc first marketing and a bundle for x1 and it is not a huge gap in the UK.  There is a reason final fantasy sold a lot more on ps3 despite 360 having a much bigger install base at the time.

I was talking overall... 360 nearly doubled ps3 in the UK.... It selling more software I hardly indicative of the bigger picture.

Don't compare the two because COD was always on both platforms. Final Fantasy coming to 360 was a situation of a franchise becoming multiplat. The only thing you can compare COD situation to is GTAV. Which sold more on the 360 in the US despite all the bundles and marketing.

what? u really talk about moronic and have no clue about it? the only way to compare relative changes is % changes
and its cleary way bigger for the ps3

 

more % of ps3 user moved to next gen than % of 360 user (or to be correct. more % of ps3 user dont buy ps3 software anymore than x360 user)
or do u like to spin and prefer to use flat numbers? because thats how morons compare changes.

Moderated,

9m and 6m is not "nearly doubled". Don't try that.

Quite the leap of logic... Ps3 sold less software in the UK,  where it has a lower install base.... On no way proves they upgraded to next gen.  We do now a good chunk of xbox gamers gave moved to ps4.  You cannot assume from this more ps3 gamers upgraded. Ad for calling me a moron I'll let the mods handle it. 

 

I am talking worldwide also,  UK is pretty small overall. 

 

I never said your argument was moronic,  I was talking about yousef mehdis.
