He's right though. That sales are up doesn't mean they're regaining territory when Sony sells better. As long as they're not outselling PS4, they're not regaining anything. The gap is still widening, though maybe at a slower rate.

Yup. We'll start seeing real comparative charts with bigger numbers once we get into the silly season, starting September 26th with
EDIT: Probably Destiny too, completely forgot about that.

Three months later and Mario Kart 8 is still in the charts. Not only that but there's also another Wii U title in the charts.
A small victory, but an important one for the console in the UK.
Will be interesting to see how Hyrule Warriors does..

Sales are actually relatively down.
The reason the xb1 titles are charting higher is the bar is getting lower.

It will drop right down next week though. I'd guess.

One game that is not performing at all on PS4 is Garden Warfare. It's like releasing a game some months later on PS4 doesn't pay-off #GoodLuckLara?

Was hoping Diablo would have done better going into its 2nd week, it was still missing from some supermarket shelves around these parts. Maybe people really are saving themselves for Destiny.
But the ps4 is still the King of Limbo

I think expecting a similar performance to Mario Kart from a Dynasty Warriors game (Zelda skin or no) is a little optimistic. Hell Smash might not even reach it.
Very curious to see more examples of how such titles fate : I've got a nasty suspicion making the majority of current gen install base wait will prove to have been a bad idea in the end.

Seeing Madden chart is one thing but I certainly didn't expect the PS4 version to be the top SKU or to be so high in the charts. Makes me wonder if next gen is starved for games or if a lot of the active PS3 buyers moved onto PS4.
Skate 3 beat the 360 version of Madden not the XBO version.

Not bad for Metro Redux, although it is sad to see a proper remaster lose out to a cash grab.
Sends the wrong message to publishers/developers.

What are we expecting sales wise for destiny in the UK?
Hasn't been a single shred of marketing, which you'd think Tomb Raider would receive.

It's only really sold well on the 360. Bombed on the X1 too.
Will be interesting to see if Peggle 2 bombs on PS4.

Best selling game of the year. No more, no less. With PS4 clearly on top.
Is TLOUR the cash grab? Just trying to get my bearings here.

In fairness, how popular is the franchise in the UK?

I think that may be unrealistic. It's going to be hard for it to outsell FIFA and CoD. Those tend to sell 1.5-2m in the UK by the end of the year that they're released in.

FIFA will outsell it easily
not this again.
It might do better because it's only on XB1/PS4 and not 360/PS3/PC, don't know. But yeah, zero marketing for late ports, so it will start out slow. Might have legs, especially with digital sales

You mean Diablo Miles? Cause TLOU is pretty incredible in the remaster category
Not a chance of it being best selling. FIFA and probably COD will take that crown in the UK.
Will do well though and one of the sequels might be the biggest selling game of the year.

Return of the king. Deserved. This deserves the sales.
Really glad to see this do so well. I like the developers and their struggle. I will buy this but at the moment I don't even have a console to play it on.
This dropped as fast as could be expected for a 2 year old game.
PS4 really outdoes the XBO. I fully expect NPD to be the same in terms of sales. The question that deserves to be asked in this: how does Microsoft justify the marketing when they don't even get the full benefit of it? Going into year 2 will their marketing budgets be lowered or increased?
Worrying that PS3>PS4. One of the few games I've really been looking foward to. Interesting that the XBO-version is dead in the Top 40.
This is one of the greatest pieces of market influence we have today. I hope we see more of this.
Huh? Why and how does TLOU give you hope about MCC?
They named TLoU in the list of >1million PS4 sellers today in the SCEJA conference.
They are both remastered games.
many xbox gamers jumped ship, not many i any ps3 gamers jumped ship. Those 5 million sales were probably hardcore halo fans.

MCC should do really well.
not sure I understand what you are saying here.

Was Infamous among them? I listen and felt that they skipped over it. Did they just forget it?

Am actually praying so that happens, FU SE
Yes inFamous and Knack were among them
TLOUR is selling to the people who switched to ps4 from xbox 360. I don't think the reverse is as common.

I think what he is saying is alot of 360 owners bought a PS4 but not many PS3 owners bought a Xbox One. The 5 million (est.) sold Xbox Ones were bought by halo fans.
Do not agree about the Halo part, but the first part seems to be right if you look at the sales so far.
Oh I see. Basically people were able to try TLOU since they didn't have a ps3 last gen. So you think it's not nostalgia that is getting people to buy this game, it's simply because they didn't play it last gen?

I never said I expect a similar performance to MK.
But the Wii U has improve drastically in the mindshare of people over here, and it will be interesting to see how a Wii U exclusive does post MK in the UK.
Yes, it was. Killzone, Knack, Infamous and TLoU. They were talking SCE WWS games only, before anyone else asks.

Looks like all their releases so far has sold well. Next up to the plate is Driveclub and LittleBigPlanet 3, followed by Bloodborne and The Order: 1886 next year. So far I'd like to say that they have some nice retail releases.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of effect the tidal wave of games is going to cause to the west. The serious amounts of games released over the holidays and until next spring is really crazy.

Yeah, sorry that it wasn't more clear. I was comparing it to last weeks Diablo 3 debut. It's sad to see a developer put so much work into a remaster and price it properly and still not do as well as a cash grab.
Very disappointing.
Good point. It's not really all that popular from what I can tell, but Redux was incredible value and I had hoped it would be able to sell itself on that alone, but it seems not...
Odd not to see a topic on this!
