I'm enjoying the game, so i'm happy to see it get this level of success. Let's hope it's the Assassins Creed 1 of the series.

Dat free online.

 

[Squire]

I like how that's a perfect 50/50 split between Sony and MS.

 

[Nightengale]

That 10% difference for both generations.

 

[Putty]

What does that mean?

Really?

 

[AusRoachman]

So many second hand copies.

[Custard Trout]

That's terrible news.

FFS. If US numbers look like this, stop doing cross-gen developers. Nobody's interested, clearly.

 

[Mpl90]

What does that mean?

More than 388,000 units sold at launch in UK

 

[funkystudent]

Xb1 holding its own!
Also Old Gen is dead!

But I bet Destinys legs are about as short as its story campaign. Word of mouth is not kind and thats a death sentence for a online game.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I regret contributing to the sales :c I sold my copy merely days after launch

 

[Vashetti]

PS3 owners (of the frequently-buying-games market) moved on very quickly.

 

[Nightengale]

Dat free online.

That terrible controller.

 

[Nick_crx]

Looks like destiny could be breaking a few more records

Ie most traded in game and most second hand games sold on ebay

 

[KingSnake]

UK is marketing heaven.

Spoiler

the rest of the world will follow

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Awesome^^ I am loving it, and I am always happy to see new IPs do well^^ The split is closer between PS4 and Xbox1 than Watch Dogs was, correct? Hmmmm.... I wonder what that means about the gap between them sales wise... has Xbox1 been doing better in UK since may?

Edit: Good answer to my question^^

First-person shooters tend to fare better for Xbox than open-world games when it comes to platform splits.

 

[Kysen]

Hopefully devs get it in their heads that cross gen is a waste of time. I expect last gen AC to bomb. Same with borderlands. Now we just need hardware news.

 

[Quentyn]

All the Xbox 360 and PS3 owners are obviously waiting for Borderlands the Presequel.

 

[Vashetti]

More than 388,000 units sold at launch in UK

Therefore, PS4 version sold at least 178,480 copies.

Edit:

XB1: 139,680
360: 54,320
PS3: 15,520

PS3 figure is shocking.

 

[RedAssedApe]

fun game. gg bungie

 

[Infernal Monkey]

So many second hand copies.

Destiny will be the new FIFA in pre-owned bins everywhere.

[LicenceToK1ll]

Hopefully cross-gen wil soon come to an end with that 82/18 split between current and last-gen

 

[Zushin]

Does this include bundles?

Edit: Thanks Saty

 

[Griffin]

This is why as a Scottish person I'm voting yes this Thursday.

 

[Saty]

The PlayStation 4 version took a 46 per cent share of the sales (this figure includes sales of new fixed hardware bundles in both black and white). Xbox One took 36 per cent, Xbox 360 14 per cent and PlayStation 3 four per cent.

How much was Watch Dogs week one?

 

[fedexpeon]

I am more interest in the percentage split.
Does that mean that majority of the core audience moved to next-gen?
But with 18% out of 380k, that is pretty decent for a downport, which shouldn't cost that much.

Oh, that makes sense then. Thank you, sir^^

 

[Panajev2001a]

FFS. If US numbers look like this, stop doing cross-gen developers. Nobody's interested, clearly.

... and give up 20% of sales? No way .

 

[dolemite]

What does that mean?

PS3 is dead.

 

[Rixa]

Iam the one who is seeking, either price drops for new game or cheap used one. Thanks for reminding to check Ebay.co.uk

 

[Black Republican]

only 4% on PS3? wtf

PS3 version will of taken a chunk though given its Bungie's first stab on the machine.

 

[Ramrock]

Xb1 holding its own!

Not for too long.
It will go down from here on. See Watch Dogs.
The marketing campaign will take care of it.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

What does that mean?

It's the sales split.

FFS. If US numbers look like this, stop doing cross-gen developers. Nobody's interested, clearly.

I completely agree. Stop letting last generation hold back the ambition and potential of new releases.

 

[Vashetti]

PS3 is dead.

It's collapsed.

I think Sony will kill it off quicker than they held onto the PS2.

 

[Lucifon]

Really interesting figures with the current gen vs last gen split - pretty telling numbers!

 

[Putty]

Still loving it 8) Only opinion that matters to me, is my own.

 

[RdN]

Nice percentage for the Xbox One. And it's also good to see that the older consoles didn't sell much... The sooner we move away from cross gen games, the better.

Dat exclusive marketing, money lost I guess.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Does this include the Destiny copies that were sold as part of a bundle? if so I thought the PS4 would have a bigger lead over Xbox One on launch week.

 

[MrCookiepants]

RIP last gen.

How much is MGS V going to sell next year on 360? 3 copies?

 

[Jigorath]

PS3 owners (of the frequently-buying-games market) moved on very quickly.

Well 360 owners were more satisfied than PS3 owners.

 

[Seanspeed]

I haven't seen any of the marketing material for Destiny on TV or anything. How clear are they making it that this is also available on 360/PS3?

 

[Striek]

No surprise. We all got burned by some slick marketing from Acti, Bungie and Sony here. Can't blame UKers for this one.

That is a very impressive XBOneS4 ratio, MS will be happy, the 330 quid bundles doing work.
