poorly?  twice the ps3?


It does have nearly twice the userbase of the PS3.

So the 360 doing twice the PS3 is ok becasue it has twice the install base.

But the xbox one doing almost the same as the PS4 is poor?


Oh the hypocrisy 

Hypocrisy???, PS3 had no bundles. XBO did. That's why in ps3's case only userbase counts, but not with XBO because there was bundles and discounts.

This is the same as GTA V launch in US where PS3 version outsold X360 version despite userbase in US being 1'5x more favouring x360....

 Not being able to outsell PS4 version is not a disaster but it's proof of the power of PS4 in UK against XBO.

I'm actually surprised the 360 numbers are that low. I would have expected closer number between Xbone and 360. Still expected ps3 to be lowest.



Hmm, pie.

ethomaz said it was "pathetic".

Taken out of context much? He said it was pathetic the X1 version couldn't beat the PS4 version with all that it had going for it, not the X1 sales itself.

explain the difference to me

do you think it is "pathetic" for the xbox one not to have outsold the ps4 version?

Pathetic: "miserably inadequate"

 

 

Pathetic is overdramatic, but it's sad it couldn't do it. Not surprising though, a price cut, bigger harddrive a games and the X1 are still not match for a regular PS4 so i understand it.

PS3 version is actually cheaper at some of these retailers.

Can you post a pic of the official X360 bundle for COD: AW?

Did you read my question? lol

It is you MS spining my words

But to you underdand what I said.

- CoD: AW sales for Xbone was great.
- CoD: AW Xbone sales not ahead CoD: PS4 sales after exclusive bundle, marketing and promotions was pathetic.

You know this GFK chart is one of the few that combine bundle sales.

And why does that mean XBO automatically sells more COD than PS4? Everyone has these sudden expectations now that the numbers are out but none of these were said before release.



FIT_Gamer on 10 November 2014

Considering the difference in the install base ps3 vs 360 in UK, i would of thought it would have taken a larger percentage. Especially considering COD has always been more popular on Xbox.



colafitte on 10 November 2014

What I see from this numbers is XB 53% - PS 47%....This ratio in the last gen was more favourable to XB, way more. Now is almost even thanks to PS4...It's obvious that by next year PS will sell more in games like COD than XB seeing how this trend is going.

The PS4 had bundles too.

Sorry but nope... stop to spin this because the only official bundle was wiht Xbone... EXCLUSIVE.

PS4 + Game is not a bundle with deals... you pay the price of PS4 + the price of the game with some little discounts... this is not the bundle that drives sales.
