According to my calculations this is a NaN% increase over last year's XBO sales for the same week.
Very impressive work from the MS UK team.

Wow, saying such a thing so early in a generation seems false...
It will never evenly split. This generation just starting still a lot of time before they get complacent. That will happen towards the end.

Xbox One Sales Jump Near PS4.
Please list this source. Every source I read says otherwise.

I can't wait to see the reactions if Xbox One sales "only double" in the US.

well PS4 games were outselling 3:1 in the UK at around Jan time

Could you please give a source for this ratio?
Me too, although I think that's just the Lorelai effect.
Is the PS4 still supply constraint in the UK? If not, what kind of bump will Metal Gear and InFamous cause?
Not allowed to and not willing to get banned.
If you don't want to get banned you should probably not say things you can't back up.
If it is a banned source, then you might want to wonder why it is banned.

Weekly double = meh.
Doubling Feb's = impressive, but not unexpected.
Continue to sell that well into April/May = holy shit.

Then why say it in the first place if you aren't willing to back up your claim?
It's not freely out there like xbox one is, but large outlets like game and amazon put up the in stock signs last week. Also sony seem to be pushing the infamous bundle, be interesting if they've finally stocked up here ready for there biggest title so far.
Why don´t you back up the 3:1 ratio claim?

Yeah, but weekly sales. And it had a price-cut and free bundled game.
It's the least MS were hoping probably.
"It's happening" for you in the third thread now, if I have counted correctly.
WTF.....

So a bannable site says Xbox One sold more but the others didn't.... Cool.

So no matter how well Titanfall sells, it's horrible news for Microsoft?

Strong TitanFall sales are building the fanbase on MS' console. Do people expect MGS5 to suddenly sell better on 360 because of the userbase discrepancy in the US over PS3? That's not how these things work. If the game is a hit on One, the second game will be a BIGGER hit on One, even if the PS4 version sells great those console owners have no reason to jump on the franchise all at once.
You know that chart track gives out actual monthly sales numbers so we don't have to depend on one retailer?
One week of doubled sales in February NPD would have been nearly 120k.

Sorry actually I got it wrong it was 3:2 or 1.51: 1.

Oh... I guess all is ok with the planet then.
Then why am I reading posts that Sony will get complacent if they dominate like the PS2?
Pretty much, as its only in EAs interest how well TF sells.
The question for MSFT is, how much it can do to boost sales for the xbone for a longer period than a few weeks, while still being outsold by the competition.

Errr...did you read the part in which I say it is also good because they are selling consoles?
...and the source for this?
TechnicPuppet
Nothing! I said nothing!
What does that prove? Is the XB1 outselling the PS4 in the US then since it's selling more games. Also January?

I don't think they are actually THAT worried about "being outsold". They are just interested in selling Xbox One, regardless of how much the competition is selling.
Of course, then they'd like to sell more than PS4 and so on, yet the primary target is to sell lots of consoles.
Talking about real world numbers: what is a typical monthly sales of Xbox One in UK? 20-30k? This translates to 5-7,000 per week.
So, a 96% bump means that last week Xbone sold maybe 10-14,000. So the jump from (presumed) February's 30,000 could be to as high as 37,000.
Right?

What do you mean? Do you have some insider information?

That was up to some point in January.
Relative to the pedestal MS put the game on, pretty much.

And? Xbox One sold a shit tonne more than PS4 since then? What were last weeks hardware numbers so we can decide if 96% increase is good?

Because when you reach near a monopoly companies start taking liberties. e.g coke is very rarely offered by franchise restaurants (it's almost always pepsi) despite them carrying their other products. Why? because it's too damn expensive.
That's the sort of complaency their talking about.
They want more profit that doesn't necessarily mean selling more
Clearly you don't.
Thank you!
