GTA V sold more in the US on 360. 

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

Please accept my apologies....


Its all good. 

Its just weird to me. These are the same situations where the console who's sold more sells more software despite exclusive marketing and a bundle. Yet people are attacking Xbox this time around. But I'm sure this will get glossed over since it doesn't fit some arguments.

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?

Wut?

"The PS4 edition, accompanied by sales from new fixed hardware bundles in both black and white, takes a 46% share, Xbox One 36%, Xbox 360 14% and PS3 4%."

PS4 46%... bundled helped like it have to work.

Now for CoD: AW case the bundle didn't work for Xbone.

BTW why people wants to spin a combination of plataforms instead to look at the reality.

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?


Did I ever say that? Geez...

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.

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. 


just like the cod marketing work for microsoft
without it would possibly not be ahead of playstation

without the bundle, ms would not sell many custom limeted edition consoles with a better profit margin than the normal sku

 

 

thats why i asked if he judges both the same, or not

just like u spin and dont take the installbase into account
or just dont count retailer ps4 cod bundles
or the xb1 cod bundle being 50 pound more expensive than any other xb1 sku

 

but i get u. some spins are bad and some spins are okay. it only matter, what favours ur poit.

Yes, but this still shows XB dominance in UK is fading thanks to PS4. What we need to see in the future, is what x360 crowd will do when they need to upgrade to current gen. Will they still be loyal to XB or will switch sides and buy a ps4???

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. 


Mum you sure?  Thought ps3 outsold 360 for gta v in the US. 


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

360 SKU beat the PS3 SKU in the US. Wasn't it hardware sales where the PS3 beat 360?
