Again that's fairly hard to conclude anything without numbers.
At least we know it went up 72% last week already, so this week must be around 2.5x the sales from 2 weeks ago.
If i remember correctly PS4 got 70+% boast last week too.. So this week should be really big.. something > 30k
I think that next fall, sales may be easily driven by multiplatform games that will perform better on PS4, plus being the most selling console that may help mindshare, just like previous generation in UK and US COD and other big multiplatform games helped 360.
Obviously games like Uncharted or GT will also boost ps4 performance, as well as Halo will do the same for XBO.
thanks!
oops, beaten
Hmmm I guess well see next week.

What does he mean by "XB1 dropped off again"?

We have to keep in mind what we're talking about here: Early adopters for an expensive and short demo of a new Metal Gear Solid game. It doesn't go more Sony-Die-Hard oriented than that, so I really think that Ground Zeroes is a bad indicator for how big the uptake for current gen is. Though, considering the fantastic sales of PS4 and it always being sold out worldwide, it will probably soon reach territory where the hardcore videogame fans are mostly on it and more casual videogame players will buy it too.
Big releases are always enormously frontloaded, especially when heavily preordered. Anything <90% can be seen as good.

WD is in May
Any big retail releases in April

FF14.
Either sales of the console or XB1 games have dropped back to wher they were before TitanFall release week.

Sony will have Destiny's marketing, it's basically going to be marketed as a PS4 exclusive in commercials. Same with Watch Dogs. Then they have The Order 1886 which sounds like their big Fall game, having Uncharted there means 2 TPS games in the span of ~2 months which isn't ideal.
But before Destiny and The Order , there is Driveclub.

Ouch.
It launched on a Friday, didn't it? TF was a Tuesday or Wed launch. I need to see next week's positions before forming any opinions.

Don't forget the show... Baseball is picking up around the world and Xbox has no product to counter.
Yeah that's almost Media Create territory. In other news, Vita is the champion while it's little brother PS4 handles all the lightweight. Praise SmokyDave!
This is UK sales, where games always launch on Friday, Titanfall included.
Asked the same question earlier, apparently Titanfall was a Friday release as well in the UK.
Purely looking at Amazon, the ISS bundle is £5 cheaper than the Titanfall bundle.
Hey, this will be the first time I pick up a a baseball game since RBI on the Amiga.
Digitally so it won't count
Double won't count as it will be from the US PSN
TF also launched on a Friday. I think Infamous will have better legs and will be #1 again next week.

It's not even being released in the UK. I'm tempted to get the US version from PSN...

So it seems like Titanfall was just a short spike and will not result in a sustainable boost. Not that surprising, I don't think a single game can turn anything around and especially not a MP only one.
Also we don't know if EA is really regretting the deal, it all depends on what kind of payout they got. That the sequel will not be exclusive is pretty much a forgone conclusion at this point though.
The MGS split is pretty crazy.
You sure about that? The last two The Show titles were at least released digitally in Europe.

Looks like PS4 will return to glory for the foreseeable future.
I'm glad to see Sucker Punch find such success on the PS4.
I can't wait to see the end of the month sales figures of PS4.
With Xbox One likely being between 4-4.3 million, I fully expect PS4 to be well above 7 million WW.

Yup. Will probably hold onto #1 though. Don't think there's a lot of competition until the almighty Dynasty Warriors smashes it off #1 with it's mighty square mashing sword.
I have no idea how Dynasty Warriors does over here, but any release without competition seems to saunter to the top of the charts

Hopefully this bodes well for Infamous in the US. Best entry in the series. Sucker Punch deserves these sales.

Was always going to happen and as i've said previously MS have to see this as a huge failure (even if it sells in the millions). It seems like they were basically building everything up around titanfall but one game was never going to turn things around.
Best in everything except the story. Infamous 2 is way better in that department.

It's not really a surprise that Infamous: SS and PS4 GZ knocked TF into 3rd place. What would be a surprise is if Infamous AND PS4 GZ's is still ahead next week.
Interesting that the charts have turned back to PS4 dominance again.

Wtf!? Didn't the PS4 already see a big rise around Titanfalls launch just for being in stock!?

Surprising that no software other than Rivals on PS4 saw a boost. All X1 software also dropping too...
As soon as Sony send in PS4 stock it sells out in high numbers and sells out completely. That's why you see these bumps every few weeks.

Yeah, I really don't think there is any problem with PS4's line-up going froward, in terms of the sales momentum it will get from its software. It's actually very strong, with the multiplat titles.
DriveClub will be massive though.
Pretty standard drop actually, hyperbole.
definitely.. i dont know why people are shocked. i personally think it is lesser than my expectation. I was expecting around if not over 80% drop after >100k launch.
Any idea what Lightning Returns first week sales were?
I'm glad FFX/-2 did well. I was expecting poor sales with infamous and ground zeroes releasing plus it being a HD remaster on PS3 and Vita during a time where PS4 is (figuratively) king.
Interesting so not much difference and hasn't retail had better deals than amazon for the xone in UK. Either way don't think price difference is the only factor in better Ps4 sales.

With the I:SS bubdle selling well, it's somewhat surprising that other software didn't see a boost.
Much like the TF bundle didn't result in a boost for any X1 software last week.
That drop is normal.

For a game that's supposed to be a system seller an ordinary drop is not good.
Nice, I'm waiting for the price to hit sub £20 before I get it.
The reason to pick up Xbone for the foreseeable future - it looks very ouch to me.
The 360 market share was (and probably still is) much larger here in the UK.
