70% of Call of Duty: Vanguard's UK launch physical sales were on PlayStation platforms

For me personally owning both a PS5 and XSX I can tell you I passed on COD this year because Halo is coming and currently playing Forza Horizon 5 and willing to bet money Halo has a lot to do with lack of sales on Xbox for COD

UK GAF strikes again

Likely the result of the Series S existing and selling a considerable amount of consoles.

And? Were you expecting %50/50? Did you guys suck at solving math problems at high school?

And are you sucked at English on high school?
That explains the split. We can close the thread now.

They will never show actual copies sold. Just percentage. UK physical chart serves no purpose apart from PS fanboys using it to start console wars with Xbox fanboys.

Yes we did it guys! We won! I dont know about you, but this is a major win for me personally. Im so happy my favorite brand has the most physical copies sold, i will cry less at night now. Hopefully this puts xbox out of buisiness, and the green rats will have no where to hide
In case it wan’t obvious…/s

Also there is an offer on the dash for 6000 points when purchased digitally, combine this with getting your key from CDkeys and it's a lot cheaper than retail.

Its funny that we are bringing this useless thread, when there is a big game is getting released on xbox today.
I will say this for last time. physical games % sales are useless. Unless you have actual data numbers, those % means shit.
Also, how the hell did ps5, surpass ps4? especialy ps5 having ps5DE. This proves that those numbers are shit.

Yep, got that. I love that microsoft does that. Though its baffling, i bought the premium edition of forza horizon 5 but bc i pre ordered it too early im not elligible for the 5,000 points. Plus you have to rent or buy a racing movie too? Like mother fucker, i just spent 100 bucks on your game, throw me a bone

~100k
The percents is what we need to get the actual units.
Cold War was ~130k at retail.
So this one is ~100k.

As I refunded battlefield and riders republic (stupid game wouldn't work) I ended up buying this digitally on Xbox to tide me over till halo lands, as I quite fancied another multiplayer game, I'm burnt out on gears 5 now, loved that game though, but after 67+ days playtime, I need a new multiplayer game.

I sadly couldn't get into it, I was mad excited for it.
I'll try the early ea access out, maybe it will convince me to give it another go, but even then I will probably talk myself out of it with halo out two weeks later.
So Series percentage went up & the loss of ground was all on Xbox One end.

there are lots of problems with the beta. but the core gameplay is fun, at least more engaging. so would assume it will be good next year

I wonder what the split is for digital purchases.

Cheers, those black ops cold war numbers are pretty interesting.
in those numbers, Xbox digital sales covers the physical sales gap.
If Ubisoft had a yearly franchise, i would find it interesting cause they give rev splits per platform holders still but yeah this is still interesting to see how the UK physical market is shifting.

Just saying I can see where some Xbox players passed on COD in favor of waiting for Halo on top of lopsided console sales numbers

But we have actual copies sold.

Yeah hopefully, maybe next year would be a better time to jump in, I had this really annoying flickering on series X on a certain part of the map.

Yeap... Xbox combined had ~28k sales more than PS combined at launch for Cold War.

Xbox Series S has no disc drive.
Over 50% of all Series consoles sold in the UK are Series S
For the PS5 digital edition, that share is around 15%
just wondering about the source of those percentages?
I just looked at the amazon review counts for each console and it does look about those numbers: more series s reviews and x and about a 4:! ratio for the ps5 disc edition.

This doesn't entirely explain the sales gap though. The PS5 disc to XSX ratio is somewhere around 2.5:1. But COD sales are 4:1.

At launch it was around 20-30% (depend of the retail) of DE... we have new estimates?
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition stock far lower than standard PS5, sources say
Sony's £450 PlayStation 5 sold out fast when pre-orders opened last week. But pre-orders for the £360 PlayStation 5 Dig…
