Deku Tree · Nov 28, 2013

Not surprised.

Cronox · Nov 28, 2013

What's interesting is how Xbox seems to have a universal lock on CoD and other military shooters, while PS4 appeals to sports and action fans more. Interesting demographics here.

How must it feel when your console that is out sells less software than one that isn't.

marc^o^ · Nov 28, 2013

Once core fans get their XBox One, the second wave of customers will really be hard to reach for MS with the price difference. Unless Titanfall turns into a new Halo like phenomenon.

Sho_Nuff82 · Nov 28, 2013

As pointed out in the PAL charts thread, the digital copies of Forza and FIFA 14 included in the day one editions don't count in the German charts (they do in the uk charts). So those games probably would have charted higher, particularly fifa.

DBT85 · Nov 28, 2013

cyberheater said:

To be fair, there are somewhere around 180,000 of them in the UK somewhere. They'll just be outnumbered in about 12 hours.

Mainland Europe is a lost battle for Microsoft. It doesn't matter if they give away games, buy exclusives or cut the price of the console, the Playstation brand is synonym of videogames in a lot of european countries.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Still funny that FIFA on PS4 is above all XBO games, but I wonder how it would look with FIFA not being bundled and actually on the chart.

The PS3:360 ratio in Germany was around 1.5:1.

I may have been talking out my ass a little, but still find it interesting that the two games beating everything are Fifa and Assassin's Creed.

It's been like that for a long time, however MS made some serious gains with the 360.

Of course it was all for naught since now Xbox has become a synonym for corporate greed, privacy invasion and arbitrary restrictions over here. I really think they ruined the Xbox brand in Europe for years to come. Its media features are perceived as pretty much useless for Europe too. It's almost as if MS is telling us "we didn't think of you when we designed this console, but please buy it anyway."

Wasn't that the case in NA during PS2's/Xbox's time?MS did manage to turn it around with the 360 (although that had to do a lot with Sony's fuck ups).
I think their problem is that they are not trying too hard.

The exact figure is 1.6x as many.

That was with a 17 month headstart and being significantly cheaper.

Yeah, Europe (including the UK) is going to eat the Ps4 up.

Sony is unstoppable this gen.

I don't currently admit that to anyone anymore. That was in the past. Can't we all just forget about that. We all make mistakes from time to time. I had no idea I was buying another dreamcast. So er.... yeah. Let's all just move on.
