They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now. You hit Microsoft with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.

 

[Welfare]

Yo. Great month for consoles.

 

[RespectThySole]

Software charts are very suprising. Wow.

 

[Hero]

Maybe this success for Xbone will light a fire under Sony's ass to do something.

 

[Jomjom]

Wow how the times have changed. XBO versions of games are selling more than PS4 versions for almost every game now.

 

[TomShoe]

Oh we're back to 'shooter box' again

The demographics don't lie :^)

 

[Aquamarine]

So the order the console appears next to game shows which platform it sold best on right? Does that mean Destiny sold best on XBO over PS4 despite the extra content PS4 got?

yes

but remember, the titles in the op do not include bundle sales

 

[Ricky_R]

Those saying Sony can wait on a price cut = lol.

They can. If January and February (maybe March) paint a similar picture, then yes, they should start planning a price drop at some point this year.

 

[The Artisan]

Wow, Microsoft beat Sony in everything for software except Far Cry 4, didn't expect that!

same. this is really telling, isn't it?

lol

 

[Megadragon15]

I guess its good that the PS4 is not a runaway success like the PS1 and PS2 were in the US.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Oh we're back to 'shooter box' again

Well, it's true. They have a lower install base and still manage to top software sales on the major shooters.

It's objectively true. To claim otherwise is quite amusing.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Whoa Xbox! Congratulations Microsoft

Now make $350 a permanent price

 

[Nephtes]

I'm surprised to see Destiny selling more on Xbox One than PS4 over the enire year?

Did I read that chart wrong??

 

[Conduit]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...games-industry-to-usd13-1-billion-in-2014-npd

After 14 months on the market, cumulative sales of PS4 and Xbox One exceed the Xbox 360 and PS3 cumulative 14 month total by 65 percent,

*math*

PS4 and Xbox One combined around 2.33 million

So, PS4 above 900k?

 

[CosmicQueso]

then it would be higher

ish

same. this is really telling, isn't it?

Without digital, says less than one might initially think.

Yes

Doesn't include bundles though

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Aqua remains dead silent so we wait for creamsugar pie charts (LTD one is the only one I want).

 

[donny2112]

Inlcluding launch month?

...what was its launch anyway?

The Wii U launch month (Nov. 2012 @ 425K) was the third-highest month for Wii U sales in the U.S. 1st had been December 2013 at ~480K.

 

[loaf of bread]

I'm thinking PS4 = 1,100,000 - 1,200,000 based on what we have.

Within 100k of MS

 

[CentroXer]

uh oh Dragon Age.

 

[Mory Dunz]

463k december 2012

Thank you.

Hm. It's probably not that high I'm guessing, but maybe higher than the average GAF prediction I suppose.

 

[dmr87]

Does this completely exclude PC games or no? I would have thought to see Warlords of Draenor on there

Only retail PC and we know how popular that is...not.

more like the flurry of price cuts

If XB1 is about 1.2 ML ( someone did the math in predictions topic ) Ps4 is near 1.1 ML.

 

[lighthouse777]

Return of the King, no fucking kidding.

 

[Ethelwulf]

I'm thinking PS4 = 1,100,000 - 1,200,000 based on what we have.

Same thought.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

bundles with hardware are not included.

 

[Toki767]

PS4 still has a larger install base.

A larger install base that already bought those games last month?

 

[The Last One]

*math*

PS4 and Xbox One combined around 2.33 million

What? So the difference is only 100k?

 

[nobodyshero]

Far Cry was literally the only game to sell better on PS4, that's really interesting.

 

[Mrbob]

Those 360 software sales, damn.

 

[Anth0ny]

Dat top 3.

 

[RedAssedApe]

PS4 still has a larger install base.

people could have bought those games in november. look at the second set of data for total sales.

also. we don't know what the difference is. the sales number differences could be minimal

 

[small44]

Those saying Sony can wait on a price cut = lol.

Their no reason why sony should make a price cut before the next holiday

 

[vinnygambini]

ish

No way

 

[TheSeks]

-Xbox 360 became the best-selling seventh generation console of all time in the U.S.

Now this is interesting. Does this mean the age of waggle is done, the final bell rung, Amir0x meme here?

 

[Aquamarine]

Aqua remains dead silent so we wait for creamsugar pie charts (LTD one is the only one I want).

relax man~

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Great news for MS!


Sony:

 

[AmaterasuOni]

really suprised at the software sales.

There's no surprise. Can't remember the numbers, but Sony stated that their digital sales are really thriving. PS4 introduced digital sales and the sales are really strong.

 

[Steverulez]

Whoa Xbox! Congratulations Microsoft

Now make $350 a permanent price

They did!

 

[Neuromancer]

uh oh Dragon Age.

RIP Bioware

A shame because it was a damn good game (I never played a DA before either.)

 

[Kusagari]

Looks like Dragon Age bombed.

 

[funkystudent]

PS4 still has a larger install base.

In the US?

Barely. ps4 lead has to be less then 500k in the US now I think.

 

[def sim]

ish

oh word

context: this is regarding wii u and i'm happy for them

 

[The Artisan]

Maybe this success for Xbone will light a fire under Sony's ass to do something.

they really do.

 

[TI82]

Damn Xbox one won this month. Wonder if it'll stick after the price returned to normal though.

 

[joecanada]

They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now. You hit Microsoft with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.

lol slashing your prices is really ground breaking stuff here.

 

[Derpyduck]

Xbox One owners absolutely love shooters.

Yes, they sell so poorly on PS4.

 

[justsomeguy]

Cool! Will my share price go back up?

Edit: Ah crap, such an unworthy top of page post.
