The bundling has been insane, you can get a xbox one cheaper with tf than on its own. The big drop to £349 will have sold a large amount massively bumping tf sales. Infamous sold really well as a single player only title.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Seems like the majority of PS360 owners still haven't decided which current gen console to get. I can understand why they wouldn't see a need to jump on the bandwagon right now, PS360 software is cheaper and there's a lot more to choose from.
I:SS isn't doing so bad. I've seen a quite a few standalone PS4s, but not a single I:SS bundle, which I imagine is hurting it quite a bit.
Ive never seen the ISS bundle in the wild, im guessing limited run at least here in uk, man if ms had sold xbox one for this price from the off they wouldnt have had the terrible start they had. I posted in the e3 price reveal that the launch price was insane not just because sony was way lower but because they broke the magical £400 barrier no console has ever done well here breaking that price point at launch.

I didn't see it doing so well due to how little exposure the 360 version has gotten. No advertising, hardly any reviews and I haven't seen a single copy on the shelves in Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury.
Not much though, the £349 bundle doesn't seem to have help TF sales on X1 all that much.
It did hold its position though, so perhaps it did help a little...

Nothing! I said nothing!
For all the talk about power, DRM etc I always felt their issue was price. They made a huge mistake and they should just bite bullet and permanently correct it worldwide.

I saw one in the window of CEX a couple of days after launch, but you're right in that it's been near impossible to source one at retail otherwise. And with the game still selling for £50 almost everywhere, it's not really a surprise it's falling down the charts.
I think MS will be trailing the entire generation, but they are making some good inroads on the price and it's hard to argue that the £349 X1 isn't the better value proposition right now.

We have no idea how much the 360 version sold though.

71% of sales were on 360 according to the quote posted by Saty.
I think early last week, as ive been humming and arrring about getting a second one for the other room.

Wait until E3. I doubt they'll announce a bigger price drop than £349, but it's possible they'll announce some better bundles.
Still, it could also go the other way and this is the cheapest the X1 will be for some time to come...
TechnicPuppet

71% of what though. The 29%ish XB1 sales were still enough to take 2nd place however much they where.
Yeah im worried this will be a supermarket slash that wont last so long. Its a great price though.
Miles Quaritch

Hopefully we get some more details about how it sold compared to the X1 so we can begin to extrapolate some numbers.
It really is. Sell the TF code for £25 on ebay and you get an X1 for £325.

Somewhat surprised to see Kinect Rivals in the top twenty, seems to have done well for itself.
Can someone explain this to me (from Amazon DE): http://www.amazon.de/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_0

This morning the Wii U jumped to number 3 in the top 100. I can't understand why.

Cheap arse gaffer thread says there was a 222 lightning deal for it.
Edit: though that seems to have been last night.

I thought it was odd there hadn't been any advertising, guess I just missed it.
If they using a Wii like ad, I can see why it charted as well as it did. There's still probably a pretty strong demand for social gaming in the living room.

Wotta is saying Titanfall sales had 220% rise this week.

Haha two ex footballers, Paul Merson and Matt le tiss, given mersons past find it funny he's advertising a family aimed game.
Bundle at 349 plus TF for 360 i suppose.

Pretty sure it's because of the lightning deal. Maybe the best seller list counts the sales of the last 24 hours (and updates once per hour) or sth. like that?

Hmm. So it didn't sell as well as the X1 version. That's...surprising.

oops I forgot that was in the other thread.

Thanks,
Good to see South Park get a nice bump, price drop to £25 seems to have done wonders.
Miles Quaritch
Member
Hmm.
So...
360 owners who wanted the game either bought it on X1 or PC back in March or it simply didn't sell as well on 360 due to a lack of advertising/the majority of people not knowing there was a 360 version released?
So I was right in the other thread that it didn't sell huge numbers this week based on the 71% number alone.
Thanks for the calculations.
TechnicPuppet
Nothing! I said nothing!
14k in its 5th week is a good number.
It was the X360 number I was getting at, selling < 34K at launch week is abysmal.

Where did the less than 14k come from?
TechnicPuppet

Ah right, yeah it's not great, the sales of last gen games have fallen off a cliff.
Chobel

I think it's the lack of advertising, many people probably didn't (don't?) know that X360 version exists.

34k on 360 wow thats way way less than I thought it would sell.
Chobel

29% of "less than 48k", it's PC + Xbone sales.
Miles Quaritch
Member
Yeah, this is what I'm going with. It doesn't even stop at a lack of advertising, I didn't see it in any of the supermarkets I went into over the weekend and that will have impacted sales quite a bit too.
Graphics Horse

There are reasons that can be pointed to with Titanfall. The non existent promotion didn't help it, nor did the pricing of it which was around the same price as the X1 version
BrokenIcarus
Member
Ok I should have asked where the 48k comes from.
I am lost
Yeah I also think it's wrong. 15k last week would 220% would make it 33k not 48k
Edit: Unless it's +220% which would indeed make it 48

We know that Titanfall sales had 220% rise, so this week sales are 1+2.2=3.2 of last week.
Where did I get "less than 15K"?

This give us Titanfall is ~23k in week 13.

Ah that. I pointed out the scope for error was rather large for that number,
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=106523639&postcount=218
TF week 13 was roughly between ~39 and ~15k but I think it's on the lower end for reasons I can't remember.
