PS4 PRO sells 42,000 first week in UK

Not sure if these are good sales, as I am not an expert on the industry.

Selling 44% more then XB1 is good, but the better thing is selling 122% more in revenue. MS took quite the revenue hit to try and keep up with the pro, I wonder if Sony will do the same when Scorpio is out.

With pro‘s launch PS4 sales only 44% higher than XB1'S, that's pathetic!
BTW, good to see BF1 > COD.

When you're selling a bundle with four games at only £179, do you really think the results were that surprising? And considering the PS4/Pro brought in £20m in revenue vs only £9m from the XB1, that's hardly pathetic. But sure, let's ignore the fine details because what the hell are they?

Pro domination.

some XB1 bundles had a 100£ discount. which is massive. whats also interesting is that MS still has stock of their old bundles on store shelfs, even though the slim was launched during August. talk about over shipping.

 

Only the 2 TB console launched in UK on August and it was very very limited, less than 10k maybe. I guess you can say that the Sea didn't launch until the Fifa week.

Yeah they had a fire sale to try and keep up and still fell well short. 



Decent sales for PS4 PRO but also nothing big considering that it's a much stronger PS4 and not only a new design. But I guess it was sold out on many places, no clue.

Nice that BF1's second week was bigger as COD's

2TB S had ~7k units shipped and almost all of that sold at launch. Official launch didn't happen until late September.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Posting here because new thread hasn't been made yet:

It’s a close battle at the Top as Activision Blizzard’s ‘Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’ (-46%) remains No1 for a third week.

It narrowly fends off the challenge from new-entry ‘WatchDogs 2’ from Ubisoft for PS4 and Xbox One. EA’s ‘FIFA 17’ (+1%) drops one place to No3 and ‘Battlefield 1’ (-5%) also moves down one place to No4. There’s already a hint of Black Friday dealing within this Chart, as 2K/Take 2’s ‘WWE 2K17’ risies 11 places to No5 (+173%) and Microsoft’s ‘Forza Horizon 3’ remains at No6, but sales units climb +49% over last week. Last week’s big new release, Bethesda’s ‘Dishonored 2’ drops from No4 to No7 (-52%). The only other new release within the Top 40 is also from Ubisoft – debuting at No10 is ‘Assassin’s Creed : The Ezio Collection’, with remastered content for PS4/Xbox One consumers, who will have to wait until this time next year for a full new game in this franchise.

Watch Dogs 2 absolutely sold like shit compared to the original game. It sold less than 79.700, the original game debuted at 380.500. This means Watch Dogs 2 didn't even sell 21% of the original game's units, despite launching in November while the original game launched in May.



Ps4Pro clearly bombed and its all fault of Sony complacency.
