Well it's now clear that COD:GHOSTS won't take GTA:Vs crown for the most preordered game, unless in the coming week it manages to get in another 1.5 million preorders.
It's also intresting how BF4 preorders on PS4 are nearly double those of Xbox One, While COD preorders for both next gen consoles are somewhat close.

Lalanana4593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

xbox one ghost :337,181
ps4 ghost : 310,136

this will be and up and down race apparently

besides 360 has most preorders..if anything down the line..some people will just upgrade to xbox one for 10 bucks more

Riderz13374593d ago

LOL the resolution was confirmed like a day ago, how would these charts affect that? Plus it looks like it's already starting. This week PS4 went up 12K and Xbox One went up 8K. I expect an even bigger difference next week.

ZBlacktt4593d ago

Even worse when you look how much better the 360 is doing better then the X1 in pre order games. Apparently not many people care about anything better.

NewMonday4593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

games in the top 10:

PS4=4
XB1=1

its true, kind of ironic

Titanfall at the bottom at #36 with only 56k, compared to Destiny (a game releasing much later) at #17 with 95k for the PS4, this shows its the next gen FPS people truly want.

@Lalanana

CoD on PS4 had a 50% increase over the XB1 version this week, and people are just getting the news

also..

PS4 BF4 = 322k
XB1 BF4 = 156k

nice try anyway.

tracyllrkn4593d ago

You're assuming that the people who have a 360 will be getting an X1, which definitely won't happen.

mikeslemonade4593d ago

Stupid and lame people still buying current gen games smh..

Way to move forward the gaming industry people..

abzdine4593d ago

i'm so sick of seeing COD there every year, don't gamer soon want to try something else? damn you guys are killing gaming...

thekhurg4593d ago

^

I don't play CoD and the yearly release schedule doesn't impact my gaming enjoyment at all. I don't understand how Activison is ruining gaming because of one popular franchise.

Eonjay4593d ago

Well it that time of week again. Same question:
BF4 is now beating COD on PS4, but they are practically in a dead heat.

However, COD is destroying BF4 on Xbox One. Why are Xbox players so slanted against BF4?

mikeslemonade4593d ago

Cause Xbox gamers are slower in general. They take a while to realize a trend.

BF is regarded the top shooter game right now. However there's more casual gamers that don't know this. There's more casual gamers that still buying the X1.

P0werVR4593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

@Eonjay

Why would Xbox One buyers be "slanted" towards BF4?!

Probably they like CoD: Ghost. Ever thought about that???

@mikeslemonade

Wow nice observation there. That makes a lot of sense.

Probably there are a lot of casuals still buying Xbox One.

Because this is just in the US. Where most people only have xbox for cod. Look at the first party exclusive preorders tho. Kill zone has more preorders than Ryse and dead rising. Why do Xbox fanboys boast about having better launch exclusives if they aren't even preordering them?

shivvy244593d ago

I guess they have a variety of games to pick from like ryse, forza and dr3 while the ps4 guys get killzone or knack,, pretty sure most of the guys are getting killzone

Shake_Zula4593d ago

You've gotta feel sorry for Mark Cerny though... He's the lead PS4 architect, basically responsible for all this greatness to come... yet, his game is getting almost no attention. Hopefully, it pulls up in digital sales.

LetoAtreides824593d ago

Shake_Zula, Knack has almost 64k pre-orders vs Titanfall's 56k pre-orders. It's doing better than I expected.

isa_scout4593d ago

Yeah, I picked up my copy of Killzone today...Kinda bummed there was no manual :(
Even more bummed that I still have 15 days until I can play the damn game...lol Looks sooo good.

rainslacker4593d ago

Haven't you heard? All new X1 owners are buying digital. Digital is the new physical. /s

Or the more sensible could be true, the PS4 has a reported 2:1 pre-order advantage over the X1 at the present time, so it's obvious it will sell more software overall. Doesn't speak to the future, just makes more sense than digital becoming so big all of a sudden.

awi59514593d ago

Bf numbers are going to suck people arent going to buy the current get version in droves. Everyone is going to wait for the good versions with 64 players when then new consoles launch.

SaturdayNightBeaver4593d ago

Its USA , kids there playing on their "native" console and i bet more than half of them think COD is XBOX only game.

rainslacker4593d ago

Believe it or not, kids aren't really that stupid when it comes to gaming. They talk about the same stuff we do, and console discussion and game availability is known overall.

Kids likely play where their friends play though. There was no reason to assume that COD numbers would change just because a new console is coming out.

Riderz13374593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

BF4 PS4 +49K
BF4 Xbox One +3500

Ghost PS4 +12K
Ghost Xbox One +8K

But but but I was told people don't care about what resolution the game is running at =( and they will still buy the Xbox version.

huehueheuheu

GraveLord4593d ago

This is actually before these resolutions were confirmed so expect bigger or similar gaps in the next few weeks :D

inFAMOUS: Second Son beat titanfall

Campy da Camper4593d ago

As well as it should. Infamous is one of the best new IPs this generation IMO and it looks like Second Son is shaping up to be a huge game. Even the current footage looks phenomenal. God I can't wait til next Spring.

NateCole4593d ago

Heck according to this chart even Knack beats it which is funny.

christrules00414593d ago

Except Knack ships in a couple of weeks compared to Titanfall sometime in mid to late 2014. I got a PS4 pre ordered but if we are going to compare something compare games that are releasing close together.

LetoAtreides824593d ago

Titanfall releases on March 11 2014

NateCole4593d ago

and infamous and destiny will be released next year as well and are tracking higher than Titanfall that is hailed as the next COD.

My point is Knack is a game with little or no hype as a matter of fact i would say it is forgotten and overlooked and yet it is tracking higher than Titanfall for next gen at this stage.

Titanfall that is being talked about so much with paid exclusive and considered by many xbox fans as a system seller for the x1.

March is only less than 5 months away.

RandomDude6554593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

BU........Have you seen Second Son? Conversation over.

lol

AndrewLB4592d ago

Who the hell preorders games that are still 6 months out? I guess it's a testament to how fanatical Sony fanboys are. If Mark Cerny told them to drink the koolade, they would all happily obey.

Any of you who have played Bioshock 1 know what i'm talking about.

Would you kindly?

USA is the home of shooters and Xbox so it shouldnt be a surprise that COD Ghosts is outselling the PS4 Version

TheFallenAngel4593d ago

Yeah but by how much? And look at the other shooters available on ps4. Battlefield is outselling bones battlefield and killzone is almost as many as battlefield.

shivvy244593d ago

yeah im surprised killzone is far higher than cod

Themba764593d ago

this will change with the xbox 720 debacle.

NateCole4593d ago

As i have said many times before. EA screwed up Titanfalls chance of ever reaching let alone getting near CODs sales numbers.

They have effectively gave the sales edge to either acti or Ubi for either destiny or watch dogs.

Steam page update reveals new technical features for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, hinting at a possible remake.

Deeeeznuuuts323d ago

Fingers crossed, does seem like it's almost guaranteed, just wish they'd announce it already, seems like we've been hearing about it forever, I just want be some black flag! 😂

andy85323d ago

As much as I want it, please dont shadow drop it. My poor backlog 🤣

MetroidFREAK21323d ago

I'll only pick it up if Ubisoft gets rid of the internet requirement to install a physical disc. Release the game complete

Chard323d ago

This seems to be referring to updates to the current steam version. If a remake does get announced it will absolutely be sold separately

Love that we just keep replaying games. Next-gen comes along we’ll get Assassin’s Creed Remake REMAKE…

RedDevils332d ago

These days, it's mostly remake and remasters. The only people that make new games are Indie and the Chinese games companies.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH333d ago

People say they like the old style AC games yet when they made one nobody bought it. I prefer the RPG style AC games better personally so I’ll Skip Black Flag. Never understood why it’s so highly regarded in the first place.

FullmetalRoyale333d ago

Love(d) AC 4. Been replaying it recently, actually. Idk what their price will be for this release, but I can't see spending anything close to full price for it. Maybe years from now when I feel like another playthrough.

Report: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake Will Be More Than a Visual Upgrade, New Systems Mentioned

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake looks to be all but confirmed, with some first official details being shared online.

-Foxtrot500d ago

Black Flags is great and all but they really should have remade the first game.

Like I said Black Flags is a fantastic pirate game but it's where, for me anyway, it started to drift away from it's Assassin roots and felt like a new IP they were too scared to do without something attached. It's funny because they could have called this Skull and Bones back then or just "Black Flags and it would have done well enough to start a new IP for them. Sometimes I felt Black Flags was held back in some places because it was attached to AC lore, if it was a new IP it would have been fun to continue Edwards adventures in multiple games as he was a really good characters.

RaidenBlack500d ago

Altair's AC1 deserves more of a reimagining than a straight remake ... The game's got pacing issue and is comparatively barren especially since the parkour ability surprise has worn of.

VenomUK499d ago

I loved Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and so did many millions of other people. Ubisoft intentionally reduced the AC element so it was mostly a pirate game that had the broadest appeal.

Ubisoft should not have wasted time making the online Skull & Bones or this remake - it should’ve just made a new standalone single player pirate game that could become a franchise.

anast499d ago

They are doing this because they just have to reskin Odyssey. The first one would take an actual ground up effort.

RaidenBlack499d ago

Odyssey? But that's totally different structure from the pre-Origins AC palette i.e of AC4 in this case.
That'd mean the AC4 Remake would be more akin to the RPG-ACs, which Black Flag was not and I'd definitely dont want that from the remake.
I am skeptical but am not totally dismissing the ^idea either, coz remakes like FF7 have totally reimagined the base game.
IF that's what they end up doing, then please Ubi, dont remake the other classical ACs. I want more of a modern graphics overhaul with some QoL changes, like the MGS Delta or RE4, than total reimagining.

anast499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

They are going to repurpose Odyssey's water environments, islands, and a big part of the animations from the naval stuff.

I don't think they will do a FF7, it's not how they operate. But if they do, I'm with you. I would love to see those games too.

vTuro24499d ago

I had fun with the first game and I loved the setting, but holy shit was it repetitive. I'd be down for a remake but only if they seriously adress that part of the game.

Chard499d ago

I agree to the extent that I want a pirate game uninterrupted by periodic visits to the modern day. Hopefully the remake fixes that

Knightofelemia500d ago

I like Black Flag but I also liked Rogue too bad it's not a two for one deal.

RaidenBlack500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

Wish they remade ACII before Black Flag ... or even re-imagined AC1

RaidenBlack499d ago

ACII >>> AC4. ~ Its the best 'AC' game. Black Flag was a good pirate game, Odyssey is a good mythological RPG game. But are not better 'AC' game.

ReidoN7499d ago

I never put anywhere near enough into Black Flag when it first launched.

Looking forward to giving it another go when the remake launches.

blackblades499d ago

They milking the F outta this franchise

Profchaos499d ago

It's the only thing keeping the lights on at ubi well AC and siege ofcourse.
