With these numbers, a 106% jump would put PS4 at 20,538 for next week. Curious to see how sales for Infamous will compare to Titanfall.

MasterCornholio4448d ago

I guess we have to find out next week since Infamous came out on the 21st.

tuglu_pati4448d ago

Xbox lead expected with the release of TF. Next week will see how much of an impact I:SS had on PS4 sales. My prediction PS4 leads by 10,000 to 15,000 units for that week in UK.

pivotplease4447d ago (Edited 4447d ago )

Not sure why you got so many disagrees. PS4 has a larger user base and has been selling more on average, so once X1 sales return to near-neutral and PS4 sales increase by more than double, we could easily be looking at 10,000 X1s to 20 to 25,000 PS4s. I'm not an expert though obviously... Get the salt out and shake it like a polaroid picture.

morganfell4448d ago

Well according to Amazon UK, here are the best sellers for the month of March so far:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/...

So obviously Amazon is no litmus test and completely different in the nature of its sales versus the entire rest of the UK...

SniperControl4448d ago

I do expect that to change though, TF has been out fourteen days longer that SS, those figures only show four days worth of sales.

morganfell4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

What numbers would those be? The Amazon figures are recalculated and updated on an hourly basis.

Here are the hourly updated numbers. These hourly figures then roll into the overall monthly bestseller referenced above:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/...

For the X1 to overtake the PS4 on Amazon, not all of the UK mind you, they would have to be selling more on Amazon.

But as I said, Amazon must be the odd case and not representative of all of the UK. After all, we all know the infallibility of vgchartz. Their reputation for unquestionable accuracy wasn't solidified by some kid snatching numbers out of the thin air nor has he ever had to drastically revise those figures, right?

parentoftheyear4448d ago

Well Also there is the Infamous Second Son PS4 Bundle setting in there as well #17 and titanfall bundle at #31. It will be very interesting. I really would like to try titanfall, might buy the 360 when it comes out and give it a shot, since i don't have a good PC.

SniperControl4448d ago

Urm, Titanfall has sold for 15 days, SS has sold for 4 days.
Of course TF is gonna be higher than SS.

morganfell4448d ago

Okay, I thought you were discussing console numbers. On that other note I do agree.

To be fair though, I:SS is a PS4 exclusive, while Titanfall is not an X1 exclusive.

Can't wait to see the numbers when I:SS comes up on the weekly chart :P

Also, XBONE got a little lead due to Titanfall.

Audiggity4448d ago

Agreed. I'm glad XB1 is doing well w/ TF, along with PS4 + I:SS...

Just still trying to figure out how the top selling next gen console, that was previously "sold out everywhere" was able to recently double its weekly sales.

SniperControl4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

Wrong reply

FITgamer4448d ago

Still trying to figure how people don't understand that supply constraint doesn't mean completely sold out or that new shipments won't be made.

Audiggity4448d ago

@SniperControl - good point about the bundle... though I'd personally be a bit annoyed if a seemingly unlimited supply of PS4's was available with a bundled game, but the core system was still sold out everywhere (Which seems to be the case after checking a number of online retailers)

@FITgamer - My comment is only in response to the constant stream of PS4 is always sold out supply/demand superiority claims that flow so freely here on N4G.

mhunterjr4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

They clearly held back supply for the launch of infamous... Brilliant move really (allows for more revenue per transaction) but it kind of makes it difficult to interpret the data. The ps4 had no problem selling out BEFORE infamous dropped. So it's hard to say infamous is what lead to the increase ps4 sales numbers. Perhaps more consoles were sold simply because more consoles were available.

In other words, there's no way to tell of the game is selling the console, or if the console is selling itself. If I had to guess, I'd say the ps4 sales would have spiked with or without infamous simply due to supply and demand.

AndrewLB4448d ago

PS4's are widely available here in SoCal and have been for two weeks. Target, Walmart, Gamestop, Best Buy, and Fry's all were in stock.

Audiggity4448d ago

@mhunter + @AndrewLB:

If Sony sped up production and held off on shipping PS4's until close to the launch of I:SS, while also banking on the bundles, that would have been a brilliant move.

Limited supply for months, then with the release of the first big title, they open the flood gates...

If they did this intentionally... THAT is how it's done. MS will need to get moving real quick to counter a maneuver like that. Particularly if MS didn't see a large wave of available PS4's on the horizon.

Magnes4448d ago

@audigity its not the case every where. I went into local GameStop on 3/23 and said I need a ps4 with ISS. I assumed he would bring me a bundle but to my surprise he came back with a core system and a separate copy of ISS

SH1ELD4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

Sales don't justify users satisfaction on each platform.

candy_mafia4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

'User Satisfaction' can only be measured by the individual that experiences the game/s or their chosen console.

...Troll Harder Willis!

T24447d ago

sales don't "justify"? users satisfaction?????

what does that even mean? Sales aren't supposed to justify satisfaction. Sales indicate consumer preference and continued sales indicate user satisfaction and continued good support or word of mouth sales.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

CrimsonWing69383d ago

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister383d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg383d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man382d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
