Xbox one software sales has over taken ps4. I wonder if titanfall will put xbox one hardware sales ahead in the US..

@Eonjay sorry I meant software sales..i corrected it.

Eonjay4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

Possibly. The two consoles are so close that Its impossible to tell. I don't see the Xbox outselling the PS4 until March at the earliest at its current rate of sales. The Xbox will need a big game to catch up to the PS4. Titanfall is the game that they are hoping will push them ahead in the US.

parentoftheyear4469d ago

I'm sure Microsoft will throw some major money at the superbowl this year. That will sell quite a few consoles I'm sure. I've never seen another company spend so much on advertising. It's crazy.

Skip_Bayless4469d ago

Same story different day. PS4 supply constrained.

Skip_Bayless4469d ago

And the gap continues to grow. 4.6 to 3.2. 4.6 mil in less than 2 months?? That's just an amazing feat.

georgeenoob4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

You guys have been saying that for the longest time and every time NPD or weekly sales are in you playstation fans are wrong once again.

Eonjay4469d ago

Wrong about what? Hopefully you can make use of that bubble before times up.

Skip_Bayless4469d ago

Hmm PS4 overall sales gap is growing on avg 200,000 every month. Still consistent thus far.

Keep it up with the bias zombie stats.

Evilsnuggle4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

You and xboiz are just like m$ P.R SPIN machine. focusing on trees and missing the forest. Xbone out sold the short supply PS4 by 1157 screaming victory. meanwhile in Europe PS4 out sales xbone 56690. the old shell game lol lol lol lol. Xboiz and xgurlz are so proud of xbone it's selling great but in reality. Xbone is doing terrible in Europe Last gen 360 beat PS3 in the U.K . The PS4 is out selling the xBone more than 2 to 1 in the United Kingdom and in Europe more than 3 to 1 this week. But it's "the fastest growing console in the USA" so so what lol lol lol xbone has some A serious problem in Europe it's being greatly out Sold the USA only can't out sell worldwide. Xboiz and xgurlz Titanfail is not going to be a system seller there are 80 million 360 out and the xbone version looks last gen and it's on pc Michael patcher Said that same thing Titanfail will not be a system seller because it on 360 and PC . Lifetime sales PS4 4.6 million xbone 3.2 million the gap between is still growing. But xboiz and xgurlz at least the xbone is "the fastest growing console in the USA" ;-) Wink wink

mediate-this4469d ago

So what if one console outsells another, are they suppose to be neck n neck, if there both selling good, then thats good.

Skip_Bayless4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

^
And again another example of people not looking at the entire picture.

Time and time again I see "well they're both selling good". Sure if you just look at the end of the result of things without taking into consideration of how each company is allocating their supply and what's the demand.

Gamer19824469d ago

Xbox One sales re dropping faster than PS4 sales in software and hardware as consoles are becoming easier to get hold of. We will get a better picture of who is really on top middle of 2014 when both are easy to get.

4469d ago
jebabcock4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

From my understanding digital sales are not included. This is going to continue to make these software stats less and less meaningful.

Bruce_Wayne4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

Doubt Titanfall will get Xbox One hardware sales ahead. It'll narrow the gap by a couple thousand. Sony has Infamous releasing as well. And while Infamous pre-orders certainly don't equal Titanfall numbers, DriveClub plus Infamous numbers do. Also, let's not forget that several people receive their tax returns. This will allow people on the bridge including casuals to quite possibly jump on the PlayStation console since it's cheaper in price.So if one's hardware sales goes up, the other's sales will also increase. Watchdogs (despite being third-party) might even garner more PS4 sales since it's being supported heavily on PS4. More retail exclusives added to Sony's PS4 backlog will also mean an increase in software sales for PS4. So that category will also narrow down.PS4 supply might also increase around this time. For the record, according to this, hardware sales for Xbone are falling at a faster rate than PS4 sales.

mediate-this4469d ago

Killer apps sell systems. The masses!! The call of duty people want titanfall, titanfall will sell xbones. Infamous is not a system seller. Never have infamous been a system seller.

T.F prolly wont sell xbones to point of crazydom, but tf and halo on the same system are going to put that thought into peoples minds.

Bruce_Wayne4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

@mediate

Infamous was never a system seller because it was not allowed to. It was always overshadowed by other great Sony exclusives on PS3. This generation is different. Infamous: Second Son is getting the benefit of releasing early in the gen; thus, being one of the few exclusives available at retail. To prove my point, take a look at Killzone Shadow Fall's sales. People always said that it wasn't and never had been a system seller. Yet for some mysterious reason, it outsold every single exclusive of the competition, even the established Forza ip. DR3 and Ryse barely beat its sales when combined. Halo also won't affect Xbox One sales too much. The people who like Halo will have already bought the Xbone most likely since they are the hardcore fans. Casuals don't play Halo. Casuals play CoD and BF. (Not saying these are the only people who play these games. Just saying that those people from that category only play that). Anyway, by the time Halo releases, the next Uncharted will already be out. By the way, I'm sure that Titanfall will move consoles, but not as many as you think. Where can you find Titanfall? PC, Xbone, and 360. Where can you find Infamous: Second Son and DriveClub? Only on PlayStation 4.

Minato-Namikaze4469d ago

Probably not, Sony has Infamous and drive club coming, plus whatever they announce at the playstation event in Feb. It'll give them enough of a bump until they can start sending over the Japanese developed PS4's to alleviate some of the backorders.

Magicite4469d ago

Xbox fortress is falling nevertheless.

modesign4469d ago

lol when it comes to exclusives, killzone SF has sold more copies than ryse, dead rising, forza COMBINED.

when it comes to multiplats, the publishers could care less which console has the better sales considering 3rd party pubs only think of the overall sales and they foam at the mouth when their game sells over 10million copies total.

Bebedora4468d ago

I will put your nic-names in my notes for further reference on the ongoing sales records. Who needs VGChartz anymore?

Wow none of them hardware numbers are looking great .....but it's understandable because January is the weakest month .....only two next generation title in top ten in software(call of duty )xbox one & (wii fit u)......all systems took a major dip in sales ........looks like the console hype is definitely dying out just saying....soon software will only matter .....

DC7774469d ago

Agreed and expected. Not sure why people disagreed they must be living in fantasy land thinking the numbers would stay high now that xmas, and the hype (and the games for awhile) are over.

Jay70sgamer4469d ago

@DC777 for some people reality is a bitten pill to swallow how can you disagree with numbers ...I just stated facts (only two next generation titles are top ten) and the numbers are not great because January is a slow month and that the hype is dying look at sales compared to Christmas holidays smh...this fanboyism is at it's all time worse ....you know it's terrible when a person is stating facts and people disagree for no reason lol

Axios24469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

X1 sales continue to outsell the PS4, just like in December

Forza 5, DR3, and Ryse all outsold KZ

@Eonjay...using YOUR favorite source,

Retail games...

KZ...1.25m
KNACK....5m
Total...1.75m

Forza...0.92m
DR3.....0.64m
Ryse....0.64m
Not including Zoo Tycoon and Powerstar Golf

Total...2.2m

Eonjay4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

For the week yes. But Killzone in total is still ahead of all three.

Edit: So your saying that Killzone outsold Forza. It ousold DR3. And you are saying it outsold Ryse. Thanks for clarifying. Thats exactly what I was saying.

Sephiroushin4469d ago

Too few PS4 on stores, just like in December ...
Plus PS4 is about to release on JP so they'll need even more PS4 there!

And yeah for the week on US, but Killzone global sales are ahead of them!

Riderz13374469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

Holy smokes Killzone has sold 1.25M? Damn son Killzone is killing the Xbox exlusives. Imagine what will happen when PS4 releases in Japan...

They will DOMINATE the Xbone.

Edit - @Axios2 - How well did Ryse score?

Let's not forget the highest rated exclusive on next gen consoles, RESOGUN. Yeah, exclusive to PS4...Sorry buddy =)

Axios24469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

When there are only 2 retail games for PS4 and one scores 54 on metacritic (KNACK), what choice is there but to buy what's left.

X1 retail games are killing PS4 actually

No surprise 5 to 1 total retail exclusives, but I just included 3

Oh, I forget, the software sales are World Wide according to Eonjay's favorite source.

And don't forget, X1 launched a week later than PS4

hulk_bash19874469d ago

@Axios
Don't just chalk up the great sales of Killzone as people having no other choice. There are 2 other big name shooters that came out for the PS4 FYI (Battlefield 4 and COD: Ghosts). Killzone is a excellent game with some fun MP and that is why it's selling.

_QQ_4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

The highest rated Next-Gen game is Super Mario 3D world, Then Pikmin 3 then NSMBU then resogun. get your facts straight.

annus4469d ago

Holy shit you fanboys are funny.

"Oh yeah, how many burgers did McDonalds sell last week? Yeah KFC is where it's at!!!!"

And I'm not sure if it's something to brag about that the best rated game on either console is a 2 hour long PSN game that the majority of owners got for free.

LeCreuset4469d ago

@Annus

You can go "you fanboys" all you want, but no one was basing the merit of their argument on review scores until someone decided to mention Knack's metacritic score.

mike32UK4469d ago

@annus that is the best analogy I've ever seen haha perfectly describes the console war

kenshiro1004469d ago

Annus, that has got to be the most pathetic argument I have ever heard on N4G.

Maybe you need some water with that bitter pill you just swallowed there.

DanielGearSolid4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

So are you gonna be as vocal when the Worldwide numbers come out? Or are you gonna pull a "Greenberg"

LeCreuset4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

@Axios2

That's really not helping your argument. You compared the sales from two games to the sales from three. What it be wrong to say let's divide the total sales by number of games and compare? As far as those other games you didn't include, you were smart not to, because then we would have to bring in free PS4 games like Resogun and Don't Starve.

Edit: It's also probably not good for your argument to point out that an FPS that went up against the juggernaut COD and Battlefield 4 outsold all of your exclusives.

Axios24469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

Actually, just look up at the article and see X1 sold 650,000 more games despite being on the US market 1 week less

I was comparing the World Wide total sales of ALL PS4 retail exclusives to JUST 3 X1 retail exclusives (leaving out Powerstar Golf and Zoo Tycoom)

@Hulk

http://gearnuke.com/xb1-sof...

as you can see X1 sold better on both games you mentioned, CODG and BF4.

@Eonjay

lol, the article YOU submitted shows 650,000 more X1 game sales in the largest market on earth, a market held by Sony for 10 years.

NPD shows higher X1 sales of BF4 and CODG.

http://gearnuke.com/xb1-sof...

World Wide, X1 retail games total more than PS4 games despite being released a week later and in 40 countries less than PS4.

Rimeskeem4469d ago

Just wait for infamous cause that game is going to sell at least 3 million

Kribwalker4469d ago

Overhyped rehash with upgraded graphics is what infamous is

hulk_bash19874469d ago

@Krib

Riiiiiiight and that's why almost all the previews and hands-on for the game have been nothing but positive. Please try harder, it's okay you have Titanfall coming around the same time......be happy.

MysticStrummer4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood91d ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher91d ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.

badboyz0999d ago

I still play gta V alot. The others nah.

Popsicle99d ago

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tacoboto99d ago

What exactly are we not getting?

Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...

Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?

Popsicle99d ago

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

cloganart99d ago

Such a pessimistic view. This year gave so many good games.

Christopher99d ago

Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.

Popsicle99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
