FIFA 14 sold less because it didn't have a Wii U version... lol
Not joking now but maybe they're selling less due to Legacy editions? (Wii/3DS/Vita). Or are we expecting FIFA 15 to sell more than FIFA 14? (I think the FIFA 13 numbers will be difficult to achieve).
The prelude to the all-important Q4 season begins in earnest this week with the ‘FIFA 15’ onslaught.
EA’s latest FIFA is the 21st in the main series, dating back to 1993 with FIFA International Soccer on Sega’s Megadrive (list excludes World Cup/Street/Management spinoffs). ‘FIFA 15’ accounts for 80% of all entertainment software units this week and a whopping 87% of revenue. Unlike last year, ‘FIFA 15’ debuts on 8 formats simulataneously - there are no more PS2/PSP versions this year and the later PS4/XO releases from ‘FIFA 14’ now arrive alongside all other versions.
Consequently, GfK Chart-Track total UK market estimates are that ‘FIFA 15’ is +15% units / +23% revenue over ‘FIFA 14’ (weeks 39 compared). If you align all the week 1 sales, so adding in week47/2013 PS4/XO sales (both Gen 8 versions launched in that week) then ‘FIFA 15’ is actually around the same in units and +6% in revenue. Finally, ‘FIFA 15’ Gen 8 versions (PS4/XO) account for 54% of sales units, with Gen 7 (360/PS3) holding a still considerable 45%. There were a few other new releases this week but the only one to make the Top 40 is Nintendo’s 3DS RPG adventure ‘Fantasy Life’ at No8 which is developed by Level 5, best known for the Professor Layton series.

Ps4 version of Fifa 15 outselling the X360 version is pretty crazy...
Ps4 has become the new multiplatform console, it seems.
This means that
FIFA15 - 961,400
It's probably lower as Fifa is a september launch and I imagine a good number of people waited for November for X1/PS4.
Disney Infinity 2.0 bombed pretty hard
Good call! Didn't think about it... now this week numbers make sense (almost a million?)
And yep, the legacy editions sold like crap ;D (I still think that a Legacy edition for Wii U would make better numbers than other legacy versions).
The main reason I'm not surpised about FIFA 15 on 360 not being on top is because of the sheer lack of stock. I was in three shops that stock games in Sheffield city centre yesterday and people came streaming in and out of both asking for FIFA 15 on 360, only to be turned away.
Microsoft must be really upset with theses results. They put a lot of money to have the bundle (+ advertising) I guess.
Wow Microsoft's Xbox fifa advertising was a complete waste of money right?
no, not really
I don't understand why someone would pay for advertising rights for a game such as Fifa anyway. Everybody knows that the franchise will be released on all platforms.
Well if Sony got advertising rights to Fifa things would probably get messier.
Edit: Damn you ninja edit!

Does FIFA 15 Xbox One figure include those digital download cards in every FIFA 15 bundle?

Looks like 360 users aren't moving.

I think he was poking fun at the people questioning if the Destiny PS4 deal was worth it after the UK numbers showed the PS4 at first, but less of a gap than Watch Dogs.
No way to know.Don't think so. If they don't have the bundle + advertising, the sales figure could be even worse and in favor more to PS4.

I don't think it would be worth making a legacy version for Wii U. You can see on these boards how much Wii U owners moan about getting inferior versions of 3rd party games. I think EA have made the right call.
