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.


I'm not saying bundling automatically guarantees it will sell more, but we have other bundles with either X360 or PS3 and historically, the game bundled officially usually sold the most, even if the console itself was behind sales against the competition. That's why I used the GTA V example in USA.


GTA V sold more in the US on 360. But I'm looking at "North America" VGC so I may be wrong.

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.

Nah I'm not sure actually. But VGC shows that 360 GTA V sold more.

huh?

the cod bundle is more expensive than a PS4 with cod....

did you say it was pathetic or sad when the destiny bundle didnt work in the US?

Destiny? This topic is not about that. But if you need to know, i called the perfume ad pathetic in regards to that game.

well of course you did. 

It was actually brilliant marketing.


Brilliant?  No one knew it even existed except forum dwellers. .   Not exactly brilliant.

just like the destiny exclusive bundle and marketing did not work out, because the playstaion vs xbox ratio was 50:50?

Care to explain... PS4 version was ahead in US unique and exclusive due bundles.


this thread is about uk sales.
and first week destiny sales were 50:50 playstaion vs xbox

and in the us, destiny sold more on xbox than playsation

 

so if u have to be ahead to be not a failure. do u judge destiny and cod bundles + marketing the same, or not?

I don't like butt hurt marketing, but everyone has his own prefernce so to each his own. Would you mind explaining what you mean by bold?

Are you sure?

PS4 version without bundle < Xbone version
PS4 version with bundle > Xbone version

Worked like it needs to work.

BTW the attach rate without bundle is in favor to Xbone... with bundle it is the exactly the same ~25%.

You're right. My bad, I saw the numbers in USA wrongly. So, this is the same case afterall....

Please accept my apologies....

First week?  Sales count after 1 week.  Bungie fanbases were all on xbox so not surprising it did well on xbox.  Without ps marketing deal it would have sold more on xbox.  Do yes worth it look at the hardware it pushed. Ps4 hardware tripled and had a massive Sept,  obviously the destiny bundle worked.
