The attach rate was inflated because FIFA 14 was was bundled with a lot of the Xbox One's at launch in Europe.
People who would rather pay $60 for a $1 game.
Really? O_o
Yeah it is. 2 to 1 is quite impressive.
While I loved Gears of War, I feel the franchise has lost some of its popularity. Though it will help sell some consoles.
Basically. They are both selling amazingly well.
Each generation is a reset. Being #1 the gen before doesn't mean anything. The PS2 is the bestselling console of all time, so everyone expected the PS3 to continue that trend. However, that did not happen. The 8th gen has just started and anyone could take it. Though I don't expect the PS4 or X1 to outsell each other by more than like 20m lifetime.
Second week sales in the US were much bigger for the Xbox One than the PS4. 307,000 for the Xbox One vs 87,000 for the PS4. However, both consoles are supply constrained and just about every console shipped will sell out within a few days. The true test is next year once they supply can match the demand.
In the US sales are pretty even and it is anyone's game at this point.
PS4 has an early lead in the US.
If it wasn't for the PS4, Xbox One figures would be record setting. Xbox One sales are impressive, but PS4 sales are even more amazing. Both consoles are set to break many records.
The Xbox One is sold out at most retailers. Same goes for the PS4. Sales for both systems at this point are dependent on the number of units shipped. The true test doesn't start until after the holidays when both consoles are no longer supply constrained.
I wouldn't say it is dying, however Call of Duty Ghosts will not sell as well as Black Ops II.
Explains why the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Ghosts have performed so poorly.
Right now it looks like the PS4 will outsell the Xbox One lifetime. However, the Xbox One will still sell really well despite not being #1.
Dead Rising 3 and Ryse are the two games my brother and I are picking up at launch. I'll also be buying Crimson Dragon on Xbox Live.
While once PS4 launches in Europe it will beat that figure, Xbox One will have the second biggest worldwide launch in gaming history.
Everyone is doomed according to people. I've heard Nintendo is doomed, Sony is doomed and Microsoft is doomed a million times.
Nintendo is fine with how well the 3DS is selling. Sony is fine as the PS4 just had the biggest launch in gaming history. Microsoft will be fine with how well the Xbox One has been pre-ordered.
The 3DS has been on fire since Pokemon X/Y and the 2DS were released.
2 to 1 is impossible right now. Microsoft announced the Xbox One sold 2 million units after 18 days, which is the end of the first week in December. Sony also announced the PS4 has sold 2.1 million units as of December 1.
