I derped on math
But still, my point is that the ratio should not be the same. 1.3m would be low for the Xbox One 2 months after the 1m announcement.

Top selling games in US, UK and France for february:
Xenoverse over MH4 and MM 0_0....looks like I haven;t been paying attention to these charts
I think it's close to 1.5:1 still. 1.98m vs. 1.32m doesn't sound far fetched, although I think maybe 1.9m vs. 1.4m
US doesn't have FIFA or CoD at #1
US>UK/France confirmed
It does have a remake on top though...I guess that's better?

But this is as of the end of January. Unless Sony or GFK aren't doing a 2 million PS4 announcement, the PS4 shouldn't be that close to 2 million as of 2 months ago.
Do you think that Xbone selling well vs. PS4 in UK since the beginning of 2015?

Well as in better than PS4? No.
Well as in doing better than whatever it did in 2014? Sure. It didn't have the stupid price hike like in the US, so sales shouldn't have slowed down to a crawl.
Why do you assume they'll announce 2m in the UK when it happens? Sony haven't exactly been giving updates with every million sold worldwide, why would they in the UK?
I'm sure they'll say 2m+ soon enough though, when they talk about impressive BB sales.

Getting another 1 million sales in UK is a lot especially so soon after the first 1 million announcement? It's different when comparing to worldwide, as unless you're the Wii U, you shouldn't be having difficulties reaching another 1 million sales worldwide.
And so far Sony isn't one to give up on announcing milestones.

Ah, of course.
Thought it was strange someone would think BB had any chance of hitting 2m in the UK in two weeks.
I can definitely see the PS4 hitting 2m any day now. The £266 offer via Rakuten will surely help get it faster...
I remember the same reasoning being used last year for PS4 worldwide sales. Since Sony didn't announce a milestone they didn't make it...

Damn this and Japan sales
PS4 is dominating the world
PS4 is dominating the world
PS4 and Xbox One sold through 1.5 million units combined between July 2014 - January 2015. (H2 2014)
Using that and 0.9m for H1 2014 I think it's clear that total install base of PS4 and Xbox One will reach 6 million in the UK by January 2016.
I'm expecting PS4 to maintain a lead over Xbox One.

Well, yeah. They didn't make the 10 million announcement until they reached 10 million, and they didn't announce 20 million until they reached 20 million (with some change).
Some new german market data was released today, based on a Gfk survey with 25k participants
32% of all PC and console games were bought digital in 2014 (up from 21%).
Digital games made up 19% of the overall revenue in 2014.
58% of PC sales are digital up from 38% in 2013.
Console digital sales are 9% up 1% from 2013 (revenue up from 3% to 5%)

Console digital sales are suprisingly low, was expecting some percentages in the low 20s.

Top selling games in US, UK and France for february:
Units or revenue? (I ask because I think the French charts are based on revenue, right?)
And the UK chart is missing one week from February it seems.

And over The Order 1886 too
France is like Japan for anime related things so it's not a surprise to see Xenoverse so up in the charts (the Naruto games are big sellers there too IIRC).

For the 3.3m @ Jan 24th I will go with this split:
PS4: ~1.85m
Xbone: ~1.45m
1.3:1
Yeap... after the holidays the ratio dropped from 1.5:1 but I expect to grow again in 2015.
PS. PS4 is really close to cross 2 million today (Mar 27th) and it won't surprise me if Sony announce it with BB release news on Monday.

Yes, based on revenue for France.

This one is based on units.
I'm going to go with PS4 at 3 million and Xbox One at 0.3m....
I'm just pointing out that you can't just make up a number and use it
Didn't PS4 outsold Xbone for Holidays in UK?

Yeap but to the ratio increase it needs to outsold the rival with a better ratio than 1.5:1 and that didn't happened... it was really close to 1.1:1 so what happened was that the ratio decreased.
I explained my guesses here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=157286947&postcount=34

Outselling it doesn't mean the ratio grew though.
I see. Thanks!

Dude what the hell? Xbox One doesn't sell anywhere unless it's the US.
PS4 is at 3.2m and Xbox One at .1m.

Make numbers lol
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=157286947&postcount=34
PS4 can't be lower than 1.8m
Xbone can't be higher than 1.5m
If that happens the gap will decrease (330k at 1m PS4) and it didn't happened because PS4 sold more in Oct, Nov + Dec and Jan (this last is my guess).
Yeap... the only guess part is January until 24th but it is 90% certain PS4 sold more too.
Mobile/DLC growth is insane.
This all screams bubble, i wonder if the mobile industry can hold up when growth slows down. Especially here in germany with how fast local f2p/mobile studios growing.

Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely shocked Bloodbourne didn't take the top spot, even without it being a multiplat.

not really
Will still be #1 in the individual SKU charts and still relatively impressive with what would have been considered a niche game not too long ago.

Not enough cars and machine guns in Bloodborne for the UK people.
Yes, Eurogamer just posted in the comments that Bloodborne is first in single SKU chart.

#1 in single sku, nice debut for Bloodborne.
correction: that would be >25k, and we don't know by how much
does anyone have BF4 second week numbers?

The Order at number 10 is surprising.
83K for BF:H is the floor, so not a perfect number for doing estimates.
oops you are right.
The Order negative hype.
First week sales are so front-loaded, Friday & Saturday compared to a whole week does not make a huge difference in my opinion. Even when compared to BF:H having a whole week of sales.
Souls games have never been big sellers, Bloodborne faces one of the biggest console/PC franchises in the industry right now (well I guess it's somewhere in the top 10) even though it's a spin off. Souls games aren't also for everyone, this is a good start and I expect the game to sell pretty favorable (LTD) both for From and Sony.
People thinking Bloodborne will be a big seller like other AAA games need to check out the sales numbers of other Souls games on consoles. It just won't happen, I wouldn't call the games niche but it's pretty darn close to that.
BF4 2nd week was 59k, Hardline is higher than that
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=89390698
So Bloodborne >37k. Could still be quite a bit higher than that but that's the floor.
