PlayStation 4 with FIFA 15 and The Last of Remastered for £349.99 at GAME.

I think this is what I'll buy tomorrow depending on availability.

 

[Doffen]

Bundle is also available here in Norway.

crazy

 

[GribbleGrunger]

But PS4 bundle is limited time offer, XBO will stay for years.

I agree. You can still get a launch day XB1 from some places ...

 

[Raist]

I haven't been following the UK charts at all, but is it fair to say that perhaps the gap is smaller in the UK than the US, even?

Is the UK now Microsoft's (reliatively) strongest market? Do we have the full data to know?

No.
Latest ratio estimates in the UK were at 1.5 in favor of the PS4.
It's more like 1.25 in the US.

How in the hell can FIFA be in the top positions, crazy!!

Picking this up from Tesco tomorrow if they still have stock.

Lol
10/10

 

[Percy]

Seems there's pretty much nothing MS can do to get ahead. All the price cutting and bundling and they still get beat.

lol

 

[EGM1966]

Okay that's pretty good.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I do believe MS have created an unfortunate meme with that promotion. That scent bottle will have many franchises.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Does it smell of jockstraps and sweaty changing rooms?

??

Football is a pretty popular sport, you know..

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Eh? It's the most popular sport in the world.

 

[Pennywise]

Same here in Germany, allthough the situation is different.
Every major retailer and amazon got a Fifa PS4 bundle.

 

[Nevasleep]

It continues to amaze me how much money MS is throwing into the big X for nothing.

It's not doing that badly. Anyway competition is good.
Also I wonder what the stats are for game purchases (not just FIFA) per console.

*while supplies last

 

[Graphics Horse]

Yes but the PS4 Combo is way more recent than the Xbox One's

So it's a bit flawed to compare them like this...

 

[SparkPeople]

*while supplies last

Yeah, it's gonna be around for years.

 

[Lkr]

don't playstation consoles outsell xbox in general in Europe? not really shocked by this. i am still shocked there isn't a FIFA XBone bundle in the US though

 

[Heigic]

It continues to amaze me how much money MS is throwing into the big X for nothing.

If Microsoft wasn't throwing the money then there wouldn't be a £329 PS4 with a free game.

Be happy.

 

[Kayant]

Fair point. Next week sales should be interesting but it seems to be doing good for the XB1.

I agree. You can still get a launch day XB1 from some places ...

 

[Beardz]

*while supplies last

Ok, fair enough... forever then.

 

[Certinty]

From what I've seen the PS4 has much better deals with Fifa 15 than the Xbox One does so for someone wanting Fifa and a next-gen choice the decision is easy.

 

[Anth1888]

I've seen the GAME PS4 + FIFA bundle posters all over my Uni, totally negating the Xbox One bundle.

 

[Lynn616]

On Amazon it seems so.

 

[psn]

You can get the xbox one with 2 controllers, Fifa and Forza for 399€ in germany, which is usually the price for the kinectless version.

But I doubt it will help...
I guess they are soon dropping the price to 299 for the kinectless one, they seem to be in desperate mode.

 

[autoduelist]

Oh come one, they'll probably sell eventually.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Fair point. Next week sales should be interesting but it seems to be doing good for the XB1.

Shouldn't you be busy reporting articles on N4Gs?

 

[Canis lupus]

If the game comes separately it's not a "bundle".

XB1 is a bundle because the paper with a download code is inside, I guess.

So what should we call it then? It's still a bundle, they just come separately. But seems there actually is:

Sweden VS Finland World Cup Hockey finals is the damn Superbowl of Scandinavia.

I think it's appropriated. This is not something you want to see before turning adult.

Maybe the tackles are really graphic in this one?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Hourly Amazon charts are so very little information. As already pointed out the chart for the week of the 22nd is a far better indicator of trends and that has XB1/Fifa ahead so far although one would have to look into how many PS4 SKUs are charting and what not

Clearly the Destiny PS4 bundle would take from Fifa PS4 sales and what not, same is probably true of other XB1 bundles

 

[GribbleGrunger]

According to this there IS an official PS4 bundle; although it still says Pegi 18. Perhaps they're suing the photoshop to promote their own bundle?:

Week 1
Destiny PS4 bundle - 19th
XB1 Destiny bundle - 39th
PS4 - 40th
Fifa 15 XB1 bundle - 58th

Week 2
Destiny PS4 bundle - 15th
Fifa 15 XB1 bundle - 22th
XB1 Destiny bundle - 34th
PS4 - 48th

Week 3
Destiny PS4 bundle - 8th
Fifa 15 XB1 bundle - 15th
XB1 Destiny bundle - 53th
PS4 - 46th

Week 4(This week so far)
Fifa 15 XB1 bundle - 7th
Destiny PS4 bundle - 11th
PS4 Fifa bundle - 18th
PS4 - 36th
XB1 Destiny bundle - 60th

From this we see the XB1 destiny bundle as being slowing down as the weeks go by while it's the opposite for the fifa bundle for XB1 and PS4 destiny bundle unsurprisingly.

PS4 and Playstation's association with the Champions League (PS4 plastered all over billboards, advertisibg space) is going to help them with the group stages ramping up in the coming months.

[Katana_Strikes]

Seen a fair few people buying XBone bundles at my Tesco today with FIFA. Not really seen many PS4s. Looks like Fifas a good catalyst for Xbox here at least. Game is flying off the shelves on all formats but probably more PS4 copies.

 

[Zafir]

Because football is massive in the UK, and Western Europe for that matter.

With deals like this I can see why Sony is creeping up on Microsoft.

 

[Resistance100]

In store last night you had a PS4 bundle with FIFA and Last of Us for the same price as the Xbox One FIFA bundle

 

[RoadHazard]

Do swedes actually care about hockey?

Yes, very much so. There's a strong hockey tradition in this country. It's not as big as football/soccer, but after that it's the biggest sport. Very popular. As are the NHL video games.

In case you weren't aware, Sweden's national team is ranked #1 in the world, we have the 3rd most NHL players (after Canada and the US), our national league SHL is one of the best after the NHL and the KHL, etc.
