What we NEED to do is ban Pachter prediction threads. They really are no better than threads devoted to Chartzzzzzz numberzzz.

I would vote for this motion Lol

 

[dugdug]

Seriously, what does ms do at this point? How much do you keep investing in co marketing and giving away games before you throw your hands up?

$299 in 2015.

 

[Ty4on]

[360] 27k
[3DS] 30k
[PS3] 19k
[PS4] 385k
[WIU] 46k
[XB1] 166k

Good news! PS4 did between 480-570k!

 

[Chezzymann]

So has MS said anything yet? lol

They're trying to figure out how to spin this

You steer the ship the best you can, privately I think they know its gone, they can still get respectable sales by the end of the generation if they keep bringing good software and improving Xbox Live

 

[-griffy-]

The most surprising thing to me is that it does NOT mention Call of Duty. I would assume this means it was outsold by the Xbox One version.

Which Call of Duty? Call of Duty Advanced Warfare releases in November.

 

[Jburton]

$299 in 2015.

Wait until Sony drop PS4 price, expect a tidal wave of sales.

 

[Suzushiiro]

$299 in 2015.

I think we're pretty likely to see a price drop next year (maybe just to $350,) it's just a question of who leads and who follows.

 

[RowdyReverb]

The article says "Worldwide", nothing about US.

Oh, you're right. I guess XB1 vs PS4 Destiny NA sales remain to be seen. I wonder though if the free game with console deal that MS ran counts as game sales as opposed to the usual 'bundles don't count' rule.

Yup, completely agree.

 

[serversurfer]

PS4 tripled its August sales.

[Queen of Hunting]

all the sports games selling better on ps4 over xbone lol dam

 

[Dead Prince]

i mean there's a chance that xbox one is trailing right behind in september right? it could just be a 50K gap.

 

[Boke1879]

I know Sony announced the GTA V bundle for EU but they'd be FOOLS not to announce it for NA after this.

 

[1st Course]

PS4 500k+ ? Holyshit

 

[sense]

so i guess destiny did better on xb1 in US atleast because it seems weird them not mentioning it. i guess the bungie fanbase mostly is on xbox still atleast in the US

 

[Ty4on]

I don't think Microsoft will spoke.

We heard from BestBuy that they definitely carried the momentum into September

 

[Paganmoon]

Holy shit, and back in June I said I didn't think Destiny would be a console mover. Boy was I so wrong, so so wrong.

 

[Loudninja]

This is an amazing stat: Destiny isn't only PS4's most-played game; it's being played five times more than anything else on the console

I'll have to agree. If Chartz is banned because they pull numbers out of their ass, a Pachter prediction is no better.

But what if he's lying about his methodology and talking to major players? What then, huh?

Lol

That would of been mentioned by now. The delay is the MS PR finding something to spin atm

 

[RowdyReverb]

We don't know Xbox One sales numbers yet. High PS4 numbers doesn't mean XB1 is in big trouble.

 

[brickarts295]

Patcher was wrong and PS4 sold more than 500k?!

 

[Daviii]

I thought COD launches next month?

Microsoft bundled for free last month with a download code, plus a happy ending massage. And four games for free. And kinect.

November Xbox sales will be amazing. They need to give the machine for free.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

I know Sony announced the GTA V bundle for EU but they'd be FOOLS not to announce it for NA after this.

IMO they will, just to combat that MCC collection.

Hello all, Abdiel's Best Buy snapshot.

So, I had expected the ps4 to do well, but it did very, very well. The white bundle brought in a ton of new consumers, and even some current owners (like myself, actually) bought the white one as well (I sold my launch unit to a friend who struggles with finances, letting him pay me back over time, haha). We actually cleared our stock in almost over store in our district at least once, and needed replenishment. Crazy stuff. I remain keenly interested to see how other chains reflect this, though I know the game stop near my home did impressive numbers as well.

The XB1 still sold well, and certainly didn't lose momentum from the previous month, but there was a distinct gap in sales. Very distinct. Though I don't think anyone assumed the XB1 would win Destiny month.

Destiny continued to sell pretty Damn well after launch, though some consumers were clearly wavering as they considered. Word of mouth and friends pushing friends to join in the online chaos clearly did wonders.

Wii U is really struggling. The parents buying games for kids group seems largely in the dark now that the MK8 push has faded. Not sure how it will work out.

So yeah. Hope this still ends up on the first page.

As always fantastic job dude.

 

[ethomaz]

But you made me believe it would sell 800k, wth mang D:

WW.

I said over 500k US alone but you right I was hoping 600-700k.

 

[neogaffer1]

Why are people acting like PS4 outselling XB1 is a big surprise and that XB1 is doomed? Wasn't PS4 winning due to Destiny always expected?

 

[TheBanditKing]

Good news! PS4 did between 480-570k!

Wow thats extremely impressive

Also can we ban Patcher predictions now please?

 

[Various Artists]

Wow at those tweets.

 

[Boke1879]

so i guess destiny did better on xb1 in US atleast because it seems weird them not mentioning it. i guess the bungie fanbase mostly is on xbox still atleast in the US

The standalone version probably sold more, but when you include the bundle. It's very possible the PS4 version outsold it

 

[Spiegel]

either PS+ has a really small user base of Destiny just caused an upsurge in the millions?

110% up from the week before Destiny launched.

Not overall.

PlayStation has one game.

Nope.

Fuck it. 79k is the final number!

I fear for the One. If I underestimated the PS4, I probably overestimated the One ._.

 

[SwiftDeath]

So we thinking they'll be MS and/or Nintendo PR?

Nintendo has to say something about Smash right?

 

[AnthonypUK]

if it sold half a million in the US alone..just how much did they do world wide? could be easily over a million
