inFAMOUS: Second Tops UK Sales Charts; Metal Gear Solid V PS4 Sells Three Times as Much as Xbox One

inFAMOUS: Second Son launched last Friday, and predictably enough it came up on top of last week’s sales charts for the US, released today by GFK Chart-Track. Second Ranker is Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, that sold almost three times as many copies on PS4 than on Xbox One. Titanfall holds strong at number three.

[MightyNoX]

Install base + power of the playstation brand + social media exposing which is the superior version. Not unexpected.

[sak500]

Shows 2 things:

1. ps4 owners desperate for any game on ps4 even paying for glorified demo.
2. second son not having a stay and play value like TF.

[Ricegum]

Haha, desperate troll.

Nice edit with that demo bit by the way, you just look sad.

[razrye]

Can say the same about xbox owners desperate for any game on the xbox.

[jessupj]

Your desperate, pathetic trolling shows 2 things:

1. Your butt is incredibly hurt.
2. Your tears are delicious.

http://static.gamespot.com/...

I'm going to keep posting that link every time someone says 'teh PS4 haz no gamez' until you realise how utterly stupid you look.

I'm guessing it's going to be a while...

[Ezz2013]

your comment Shows 2 things:

1.The hypocrisy is pretty strong here
last gen when ps3 was beating the hell out of xbox in exclusives
xbox fans: ""exclusives don't matter and who cares about exclusives it's all about 3rd party games""
and since ps4 is beating xbox on all fronts
you guys run back to exclusives matter again
even though this won't end well for you just like every gen so far
but now you guys are saying ps4 owners don't have games to play even though it have tons of games exclusives and 3rd party games
(same thing you guys said with ps3 early days)

2.TF dropped 73% in sales and getting beat by Infamous SS and MGS and you guys said it's a ""system seller""
after looking at this chart
it wouldn't shock me if it drop from the chart after few weeks

[Mr_Luke]

Shows 1 thing:

1. Desperate troll

[Why o why]

Dem tears de sah.......

Fortified with sodium

...and as bitter as an ex wife

Take a bow sak, take a bow. You have personified butthurtness tenfold

[abzdine]

TF? the exact same game on 360 that you guys glorify and call next gen? can you please remind me the resolution of that thing? i heard it was no next gen like.

[Rockstar]

"Shows 2 things:

1. ps4 owners desperate for any game on ps4 even paying for glorified demo.
2. second son not having a stay and play value like TF."

Those are some delicious tears

[ger2396]

Shows one thing: Xbox brand is synonymous with shooters. Without them there would be on Xbox.

[kayoss]

Xbox owners are so desperate that they're making TitanFall into the second coming of jesus. News flash, its a call of duty game with mech and super high jump hacks. You choose a gun and you try to get as many kills. Start new match and repeat. Oh yeah forgot, try to get into a mech without getting killed. Anything else?

[Hicken]

So, what I can't understand is: why can a user make comments like this on a regular basis and yet(wow, look at the stuff this guy got Well Said bubbles for on the second page of comments)...

Holy crap, he's gotta have a couple of accounts bubbling this one up. 9 comments in a row that are obvious trolling comments but got Well Said? And they say this is a Sony fanboy site...

Anyway, I'm curious to see what this means for hardware sales, both in the UK and elsewhere. I don't think Titanfall's influence helped the XB1 surpass the PS4 in worldwide sales for the past few weeks, but now I wonder if inFamous is gonna help retake that ground the Xbox made up.

[Cuzzo63]

Omg really. We can name 100 things that makes ps4 the to go to system. I'm pro Sony but that does not make me hate xb1. I like TF. I think it's fun. But a single player campaign would make it that much better. Both systems basically have the same games with the exception of a few exclusives. Replay value? There is none without the internet... I think Infamous is still playable if the Internet bill doesn't get paid... anyway. U mad? Or really really mad...

[kopicha]

try harder sak lol

[CJDUNCAN]

Has Metal gear ever been a big game on the XBOX platform? It's always had a bigger Playstation base.

[abzdine]

MGS2: substance has been released on xbox, but xbox platforms never got any exclusive MGS.
PSP is the one with most exclusive MGS games.

[FATAL1TY]

winner = PS4

1080p MGS GZ + 1080p open world infamous second son

R.I.P xbox 720p

[Slevon]

This ^ I missed out on playing all of the previous metal gears and I figure if I was to start, Ground Zero is not the best place for me.

[nicksetzer1]

http://www.amazon.com/gp/be...
.
.
Global sales for 2014 vs the daily/weekly sales being put up .... titanfall is quite a bit ahead and that is with much fewer consoles. MGS just like tomb raider does better on ps4 most likely because xb1 has plenty of new (and full) retail games to play. When the full game comes out it will be a it closer I would guess.

[Ratty]

@Slevon

As much as I love GZ, you're right it isn't. GZ is mainly targeted at people who are already fans. I'd start with MGS3 or even MGS1 if you don't mind the dated graphics and mechanics. But MGS3 will do as it's chronologically the first in the series.

Basically it goes like this

MGS3 -> Peace Walker -> MGSV -> MGS1 -> MGS2 -> MGS4

I omitted MPO and MG1, MG2 because the latter two aren't considered completely canon anymore and MPO, while canon, is really more of a side story (with awful controls.)

[GameSpawn]

@One_Eyed_Wizard

If you have a GameCube there was also Twin Snakes (a port of MGS1).

I've never owned the original Metal Gear Solid from PS1, but I did borrow and play a friend's copy long ago. I just never got around to getting the game myself, until Twin Snakes came out on the GameCube. I enjoyed the update to the graphics despite the few small changes since it was on a Nintendo console.

I have MGS2 and MGS3 on the PS2 and also MGS4 and the HD collection (MGS2+Substance, MGS3, MGS:PW) on the PS3.

I really enjoyed the mythos of the Metal Gear series and had the most fun with Peace Walker because of how the game was setup and also the sort of meta game in the form of Mother Base management.

MGS2 I liked up to the Very Hard difficulty and additional Substance content which made the game impossibly hard. I did get all the dog tags and complete every difficulty on the PS2, but I couldn't bare to put myself through that Fatman hell of a boss fight again on the PS3 HD remake (seriously Fatman on Very Hard is an ass - Vamp is just barely beatable, but still easier than Fatman).

As far as playing chronologically, it really isn't needed to be that strict. As long as you play games in groups.

[MGS3 -> Peace Walker -> MGSV] -> [MGS1 -> MGS2] -> MGS4

The two sets I partitioned off are interchangeable without ruining anything or spoiling any of the plot. Big Boss isn't mentioned very much in MGS1 and MGS2, so having the back story from MGS3, MGS:PW, and MGS5 won't add too much other then some lineage for the "three" Snakes and also some origin for Ocelot and the influence Big Boss had on him.

[hkgamer]

surprised about MGS tbh.

PS4 version selling more than PS3 version. I guess a big majority of MGS fans have moved onto next gen already. Or it could jsut be PS4 owners desperate for a new game.
360 and X1 is obvious why sales were lower. just most fans buy it on PS.

I'm impressed with the overall sales of MGSV though, but I am guessing all version would drop of the top10 next week.

[mkis007]

I was skeptical too until i started playing Ground zeroes on my ps4... a lot of cool things there. But now infamous will take up my time.

[Orange Juice]

"Or it could jsut be PS4 owners desperate for a new game."

Maybe if you wish this to yourself every night after mom puts you to bed then it will come true. For now though, you are lying and obviously bitter.

[HeWhoWalks]

The notion that PS4 fans are "desperate" for games exposes a serious lack of knowledge in this field. In fact, didn't we hear the same nonsense towards the PS3? How did that turn out?

[Snookies12]

@HeWhoWalks - It's said about the Vita as well, that it has no games. I find that statement quite hilarious. I don't own a PS4, but even I can see it has a rather good selection of games already. Not to mention its library is only going to grow as time goes on.

[Ratty]

I'm glad to see MGSV doing well despite all the bad publicity and misinformation surrounding it. I can't speak for the rest of the hardcore MGS fanbase but I did move onto nextgen rather fast. Other fans I know are waiting to get their PS4 before buying GZ.

It definitely wasn't desperation anyway ;p

[HammerKong]

a game which is just new and got relased 2 days back and is a sequel of an amzing series ,a game which is open world and may appeal to bigger form of audience ,my reasons looks more viable than your,sorry buddy but your reasons are little fanboyish ,but "better social features"i dont get it, i have heard twitch is on both consoles right?,oh i forged i'am having it on both ps4 and xbox one,but hum can any body tell me what is better on my ps4?,i must check soon never noticed it before,any body here?.

[lelo]

"inFAMOUS: Second Tops UK Sales Charts"

Not surprising. It's one of the most anticipated games for the PS4.

"Metal Gear Solid V PS4 Sells Three Times as Much as Xbox One"

Not surprising either. PS4 install base, PS4 has the better version, most MGS fans own a Playstation and the crappie port Konami did with the X1 version justify those sales. The only surprise here is that the X1 version sold as much as it did. Konami deserved zero sales from the X1 version.

[THamm]

Xbox fans were the ones calling it a demo, soon enough just like Wii fans, they'll only buy first party. Titanfall might as well been first party since it sold out, since MS didn't have anything ready. Sad but this is the way I see it's heading

[Evilsnuggle]

Here we go again. @@ eye rolling

http://static.gamespot.com/...

lelo

"The only surprise here is that the X1 version sold as much as it did. Konami deserved zero sales from the X1 version."

There is no sabotage Of xbone. It's just weaker hardware than PS4. That equals less performance lower resolution and less stable frame-rates on xbone than PS4.

Hideo Kojima is not holding back the xbone. No the xbones weak hardware is with it’s low end GPU and slow ram and bottlenecking Esram is the problem.

JoseV76
Your a xbone fanBoy stealth Troll

[ThePope]

You know I played it on the X1 and beat in 80 min.

Though I'm sure I didn't have as much fun as the people who played it on PS4. I mean because we all know Polys, and resolution = fun.

Could someone please tell how great it was on PS4, I can try and live vicariously through you.

While ppl on this thread are catching all sorts of hell for saying it. But outside of Second Son, the PS4 has had few releases. Sorry, I'm not hating on the system, but its the truth.

[Hicken]

The funny thing is: the XB1 has had fewer releases. It is an undeniable FACT that the PS4 has more games, so why do you Xbox boys keep perpetuating this BS?

The PS4 has had few releases? And how many has the XB1 had?

You say you're not hating, but every time you make a comment like this, that's exactly what you're doing. What you're saying isn't at all the truth. It's bull.

[ThePope]

@Hicken

I would ask you this; How many AAA releases have come to the PS4 since the beginning of the year?

I'm not saying nothing has launched on the PS4, what I'm saying is that the big AAA experiences people buy $4-500 consoles for are not there. NOW with the launch of Infamous it has a big AAA release.

The X1 has launched Titanfall, PvZ:GW, and to a lesser degree Peggle.

Garden Warfare could have been a mess but was instead awesome. Titanfall is bringing far more to the table than most games since it has extreme replayabililty.

[Christopher]

@ThePope: Wow, that's some very specific requirement for games on PS4 you ask for.

" How many AAA releases have come to the PS4 since the beginning of the year? "

Well, it looks like the same number as XBO? Thief + one exclusive (Titanfall on XBO and Second Son on PS4).

So, what was the point of that question?

[Snookies12]

@ThePope - Plants vs. Zombies is a "AAA" game?

[djplonker]

@Thepope

neither of them are console exclusives and are available on 360 and pc...

-.-

[Clunkyd]

@ThePope

He's just mad because his precious TitanFall game isn't getting any attention anymore. It's sad because the game really isn't exclusive to Xbone.

Funny, How an incomplete game is AAA

[Ratty]

It's all a matter of taste. I'd rather play inFamous than Titanfall. Besides, I really see absolutely no game that interest me on X1 except for the multiplatforms (which all run better on PS4 anyway.)

[Magicite]

If this trend continues, there is a high probability, that some multiplatform games might become Playstation exclusives (like in PS2 times).

[Back-to-Back]

The real crime here is a shitty Final Fantasy game outselling dark Souls 2. Come on UK brothers buy DKS2.

[ocelot07]

Believe me I would but am sitting here like a idiot waiting for the PC version.

[djplonker]

I bought both ff13-3 and dark souls 2!

Also ff10 hd and mgsv(ps4)

I don't have the time to play them though XD

[showtimefolks]

the advertisement firm sony chose for ps4 use to be with MS/Epic games for gears of war and Goggle so now its showing how great they are working on ps4

MGS is a series that will always sell a lot better on PlayStation consoles, but i am glad more people will get to play it now.

Infamous 2nd son well its an excellent game so very well deserved

sony is on a huge roll, i believe this E3 will be huge and both sony and MS have to show up in a big way. MS have already said they E3 conference will be about games(will wait to see it before i believe it)

sony needs to show some firepower to really deliver a huge knockout punch

[mmc-007]

why is CoD:ghost & battlefield 4 selling better on the PS4. also because is sells better on the Playstation brand?

[showtimefolks]

mmc-007

well more games will sell better on ps4 because of bigger install base, last gen it was xbox360 now it has shifted to ps4.

I was just talking about MGS series which in general people associate with sony's console. But like i said i am glad more gamers world wide will get to experience MGS5

IMO in a perfect world all 3rd party games are available on ps4,xbox one and wiiu. Where the system will differentiate are what the console makers offer as exclusive games from their 1st and 2nd party studios. But as we have seen with Titanfall that won't be the case

[mcstorm]

I think this was to be expected as MSG is a bigger name on Sony's console and the PS4 has higher sales in the UK too as well as infamous and MGS being new games this week.

What will be interesting is who stats in the top 10 the longest. For me I think TitanFall will have the longer legs because its a FPS game. But that said good to see all 3 games doing well.

Looking forward to getting MSG but im getting through my other games before picking this up.

[Jdoki]

And TF is multiplat, and will get a huge bump in sales once the 360 version releases (if it ever releases)

[hkgamer]

Probably the safer option to buy Ground Zeroes second hand when most people will be trading it in soon.

[beebap]

Any hardcore fan of metal gear will not be trading in.It a game that you can back to. Try out different ways also if you bought the first batch of the game you will get special content in phantom pain.

[Kribwalker]

I'm gonna rent it this weekend. No point in paying $35 in canada when I can rent it for $6 and at the place I go to I get a second game for free if I want

[Ratty]

Lol no way I'm trading it in. Ever.

@Kribwalker

That's not a bad idea either. I also live in Canada but last I checked the prices were the same as the US on the PS Store.

[mcstorm]

@Jdoki I agree that it will have a bump when the 360 version comes out but not out for a few weeks yet plus MSG is Multi Plat.

@hkgamer I agree I think there will be a lot of trade ins of the game soon but ill still grab a new copy don't tend to buy pre owned as I like to support the developers.

O and on the 18 disagrees what's that about?

[Goku781]

Playstation all day, everyday.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Or...no day, ever.

[Nekroo91]

so enjoy your lower quality multi platform games...ah.

Butthurt

[R3ddBuddah]

Did you run out of VCR tapes?

[candy_mafia]

Infamous deserves to sell, sell....sell!

So does Titanfall, and awesome news on MGS too!

It's official, I'm totally in love with next gen!! :)

[SynestheticRoar]

Infamous bitches. I got the collectors edition it's awesome. Tell your friends.

[LoveSpuds]

So I told my friends at work today that SynestheticRoar has the collectors edition of Infamous, they weren't all that impressed chief.....weird no?

I was happy for you anyway ;)

[Qwagy UK]

It's a bit unfair to highlight the fact that PS4 Sells Three Times as Much as Xbox One as there are many more PS4's around I'm sure that the sales would be even if the xbone had as many units around, may be slightly less as users who own both systems would go for the PS4 version for obvious reasons.

[Ricegum]

But you've also got to take into account that MGS, just like Final Fantasy, Resident Evil etc will always sell more on PlayStation consoles as traditionally they are considered PS games in many parts of the world.

[Jdoki]

@Qwagy

There's not 3 times the number of PS4's out there than XB1's, even allowing for people who own both. MGS just seems more popular on Playstation than XB1.

[Why o why]

You must also remember that playstation owners don't buy games apparently. ..that was the mantra chanted by some factions

[kayoss]

The only games that will ever sell well on the xbox one are FPS games. Thats what Xbox owners needs. Because they dont know how to play any other games.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

.......so i guess i have been playing RPGS, action adventure, platforms, and RTS games wrong my whole life!!

ZOMG it cant be!

[Chevalier]

Did you think it was unfair when they kept bring up 360 sales for 3rd party games in the U.S.? Losing is losing so yeah it's not Sony's problem that MS Xbone sales are shitty. 'Obvious' reasons are Xbone sales suck overall and deserve the low sales for all the 720 P releases.

[No_Limit]

there are more PS3 in UK to sell MGS Demo to than on the XB1 plus it associated with the PS brand more than the XB brand. Not surprising at all. I am glad infamous is at the top as I am really enjoying the game and glad Titanfall got a steady hold. Good times for gamers on all consoles.

LOL, the stealth disagrees. So Which part of my statement is incorrect? Keep em' coming folks. :-)

[Flutterby]

Maybe cos you are wrong ? What's the ps3 got to do with it ? And considering it's a "demo" as people keep putting it why did it beat the xbone savior titanfall ?

[No_Limit]

my bad, I meant PS4 instead of PS3, a typo. Good catch. It beats Titanfall because it is a newer release and it is on 4 platforms vs 2. The gamers, including myself, that are complaining about MGS and understand that it is basically a demo and not worth $30 are in forums and message boards like this so the majority of the folks that didn't know or care about such issues will buy it because of the name.

[hkgamer]

call it whatever you like demo, prologue, DLC. only thing we know is that this game content would probably not get released with phantom pain.

is it over priced? yes it is.

Is the game short? yes it is.

I am slightly dissapointed in the title for other reasons though.

- No codec conversations.
- No Boss Fight.
- Not really a proper ending to the game.
- Cutscenes from story mission has been shown in trailers, not much new content.

Well, back on topic. I guess your stealth disagrees were either your PS3 typo or you typing MGS Demo. Not really agrreing with why you got these stealth disagrees though.

[ArbitorChief]

Seeing MGS:GZ sell well has me worried about this generation...

[christian hour]

I was worried about MGS:GZ's myself, until I got my hands on it a few weeks back. It's actually very enjoyable, I almost hated myself for letting my displeasure with Kiefer and my fear that MGS was being changed for the worst get in the way.

But Hey, I can be a pessimist too, watch this :)

"Seeing XBone sell, at all, has me worried about this generation..."

See, it's easy to spout biased bullcrap :) Competition is healthy for the industry!

[ArbitorChief]

I'm worried because people are buying $30 Demos. I feel like these retail demos will become like DLC last generation. Abused by publishers.

[Baka-akaB]

Calling it a demo ad neauseum wont change the fact that people buying dont feel it is one .

Sure the price and all could lead to other and worse forray , but good luck to other tying it without the strength of the MGS brand ...

[christian hour]

I'll agree its a demo when you show me a single demo that gives that much content, I've paid 60 euro for full games that gave me less hours, content and replayability than that. If you want to start a witch hunt, then aim your sights on Activision and the COD franchise. 60 euro expansion packs with little to no improvement engine wise.

[THamm]

@christian hour

True, everyone calling it a demo are missing out. The game is simply awesome and I've spent more time on it than any game I've bought in the past year. You don't hear much people who have played it complaining. Media just jealous of MGS.

[hkgamer]

Be worried. its probably going happen more often.
Well that or early access anyway.

[saint_seya]

I didnt see you that worried when forza 5 came with less than half of the content of previous games, and you still played full price for a game that was actually a remade hd game with less content...
OT: this is just simple proof of what is the people choosing this time in UK # hint PS4

[Geobros]

Its normal to have great sale numbers as it has Master Sword easter egg in the game.....:P

[G20WLY]

Maybe they should have stuck Delsin's beanie hat on Donkey Kong in DK:TF... ;P

[Geobros]

Haha!!!! Its true that Samus aircraft didnt help so much TF's sales, lol!!

[saimcheeda]

As for infamous theres no surprise as it was expected to be on top. So it was advantage PS4 this week!

[Bathyj]

Damn. While metal gear selling three times as much in ps4 is not in itself surprising, it is in the same week ps4 gamers had infamous to buy. Must be good software numbers all round.

[Abriael]

Considering that Kojima was basically "in your face" with what version was technically better, it's not THAT surprising. Bet combined with the length of the game a lot of Xbox One users passed on the game.

I know I would have, especially if planning to buy a PS4 as well at a later time.

[Ko_Uraki]

Titanfall is #3 after a -73% drop? Impressive.

[TristanPR77]

Not impressive at all. Such a big drop in just it's second week is a bad sign. The game was supposed to be the xbone Savior.

[mediate-this]

Okay genius what spot should titanfall be right now? After two major releases being mgs:gz and if:ss two big releases and you think titanfall should be number one still? Third is still good after that, in two weeks we shall see where these games are in the top ten, then will be a better sign. Cause if tf was number one, then if:ss n mgs:gz would not sell as good, i have both systems i bought if:ss and T.F .

Only people calling tf the xb1 saviour are fanboys and fanboy journalists. I have never heard a gamer call it that, tf is selling great, whats the problem? Is it suppose to sell to the whole install base? If tf sells 1.5 mill just on xbox thats a massive success but it will definitely do that for sure.

[kayoss]

Did it break any records?? Microsoft like to tout record breaking achievements.

[Ezz2013]

yes, it did break records :

*the biggest drop in gaming history*

[sebzhd]

OMG, in your face M$.
Hey Kojima, you know where you put MGS6 exclusive now, a real full PS4 version not downgrade because of the poor hardware xone.

[Fishy Fingers]

If anythings holding back the PS4 version wouldn't it be the last gen systems.

Also, even outselling by 3:1 why would you make it exclusive and lose 25% of your sales?

This is no place for common sense.

[hkgamer]

you mean in your face Sony,
MS just stole 27% potential sales from a game that could have been a sony exclusive.

[kayoss]

EA is probably kicking themself in that butt right now seeing how well software are selling on the PS4. If they released Titanfall on the PS4 and PS3, they would be rolling in money. They could have taken over COD throne.

[ananas]

because on x1 we have what to play...:)

sorry i dont want buy tutorial ... :)

[Applejack]

So why don't you go ahead and play it instead of stealth trolling? That'd be great for all of us... :)

[ananas]

i just saying true... :)

[kayoss]

I bet he got bored. Becasue we all know Xbox users dont know how to play any other type of games except for FPS.
Xbox Daily routine
8am-11am: play Titanfall
11:30am-12pm:
Take a break and go on internet to troll
12pm:
MOM! my friends and I would like some Totinos pizza rolls and a glass of milk.
1pm-4pm:
Play titanfall.

[WayneKerr]

00-000

[cfc78]

Wow!!! where are all the defenders of titanfall today i didn't see them having a problem crucifying me over a comment i made yesterday, for those who twisted my comment i do not hate titanfall, i don't want titanfall to be exactly like cod ,i don't hate xbox or microsoft either as i have an xb1 and an xb360 and i could go on but i won't. on topic list looks as expected bit surprised though about 2 and 3 but i guess people make their own decisions on what they like.

[OiNioB]

Playing Titanfall,

only Reason there's so many defenders is because there's double the haters, you must have noticed this by now,

600+ negative(mostly troll)reviews on metacritic lol

[jimbobbeers]

Too busy playing PvZ and Titanfall. No care for MGS, its a rip off.

Well done to Infamous, however, I feel it may drop off massively.

[Hellsvacancy]

"No care for MGS" yep, MGS didn't sell ANY copies did it?

[jimbobbeers]

I said I don't care for MGS. What an irrelevant and pointless post.

[Applejack]

It's ironic because downplaying MGS by saying it is a rip off and saying Infamous will drop off massively because Titanfall did isn't very necessary or relevant is it?

[jimbobbeers]

Course its relevant. Infamous will be below Titanfall next week for instance, come back to me then.

[infectedaztec]

Well said Jim Bobbers.

I will never buy the MG game unless theres a serious price drop. Does anyone remember the 'half a game' stick Titanfall was getting? Now MGS sells loads with an hour long game.

Should I buy PVZ or Titanfall..... I'm a big BF fan and PVZ appeals to me more than Titanfall but there is the hype around it to consider.

I will of course get 100% disagrees but for me, PVZ looks like the most fun exclusive on either platform....am I right (genuine question)?

[T2]

too busy playing a free mobile app game to care about next gen? wow thats good thing for you, hope you got pvz free just like on the android store.

[R3ddBuddah]

"What an irrelevant and pointless post."

Then why did you both posting?

[OiNioB]

Well Deserved for infamous

not so much for metal gear, no matter what side of the next gen war your on

[urwifeminder]

Good for infamous but if you are starved for games anything new that comes out will do well.

[Bathyj]

Pretty much sums up Microsoft's whole 1st party philosophy.

Treat em mean, keep em keen

[urwifeminder]

Wow bubble man you can spread your knowledge on me any day.

[jay2]

Titan who? Call of duty mastermind's game beating by a SP only game and a rip of demo, says it all really. It would have been interesting to see if at least 1 of the 2 games came out on the same day as TF if TF would have got any time at 1.

[OiNioB]

"It would have been interesting."

Only to overly attached fans,

because games can't simple all sell/do well in this problematic industry, that would be devastating

[jay2]

No, to see if because the main guy Vince did a COD game if that info would be enough for a new series with a bit of competition to be top. Last week it had none so if it wasn't time they'd be some serous issues so I was expecting top and 3rd this week, what I'm saying is if MGS or Infamous or both came out a week early what it beat either or both the games then. would it have been 1.2 or 3 it it has something/s to fight against on day one, which it didn't.

[Father__Merrin]

its all over

[Visiblemarc]

If these numbers are indicative if a trend (I believe they are) then MS must have a very strong showing of exclusives at E3 or momentum will send them into a spiral, for sure.

[mhunterjr]

There are a number of factors that would lead to this. Ps4 has a higher install base, core PS users are likely bigger MGS fans, the PS version is superior.

The biggest reason I didn't purchase it is because I don't feel it's worth the money. I'm content to play the other recent releases on xb1. I'm sure many xb1 users felt this way.

[infectedaztec]

Nail on the head my friend.

If I'm buying a game today it will be Titanfall or PVZ. MGS never appealed to me BUT all the hype would have swayed my interest. I will not however support their shameless exploitation of MGS starved gamers.

[T2]

wow another pvz comment... just laughable. am i seriously missing something or are you referring to the free mobile game plants vs. zombies? you would BUY a free mobile game but wouldn't pay for mgs?? LOL

personally i would wait for mgs gz to hit ps plus or get a sale on there, but at least I am reasonable...

[mhunterjr]

@joecanada

PVZ: Garden Warfare is a 3rd person, class based, multiplayer shooter... A spin off of the mobile game. When you make ignorant comments like this one, you look silly.

[Realplaya]

The question is will Second Son be top game next week?

Also will their first day sales be more than Mario Kart 8 when it drops?

[True_Samurai]

And at the end Titanfall still sold more :-) plus second son JUST came out of course it's gonna be on top but after this week there will be many returns happening

[Bobets]

TitanFALLS?XD

just kidding Infamous SS does great as expected and Titanfall seems to drop off pretty big -73% but its normal its just the fanboys overhyping this shit like it will magically dissolve ps4 sales lead.

[kenshiro100]

Sure...whatever you say. I predict Ryse is gonna end up in the bargain bin before that happens.

[GTgamer]

I have 6.4 million reasons and counting why you salty lmao of course TF sold more its on PC and Xbox :/ its gonna be soooooo funny when TF2 gets announced for PS4 and watch you Xbox fans jump and say Halo is Better I promise its gonna happen.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

right just like when TF2 comes out on ps4 and all the now haters are going to all of a sudden love Titanfall?

sadly hypocrits are all over this community

[Xsilver]

"right just like when TF2 comes out on ps4 and all the now haters are going to all of a sudden love Titanfall? "

Shit I wont that's a promise :/

[GTgamer]

@TRD4L1fe
Hypocrites please TF was gonna be on PS4 before MS did what they did but did that stop Xbox fans from trying to hold TF over Sony fans head like it was a first party exclusive so if people like TF2 on PS4(especially if its bigger improvement than TF1) then what's so hypocritical about that its not like their saying they love TF1.

@Xsilva
I Second That.

[gnothe1]

I bought MG on the PS4 just to have a reason to use the system...I only played about 2 minutes(looks gorgeous)but all my friends wanna play is titanfall an madden an neither have the PS4....but I might really get into it tonight.....not interested in infamous second AT ALL....never liked the other 2...

[ger2396]

Why did you buy it? Impulse purchase?

[Clarence]

Stop lying.

[gnothe1]

got no reason to lie fool...go check my news feed on both systems....gnothe1 on PSN an Gno the 1 on xbl...that's what you guys do...I have NO NEED TO LIE....I guess I would be lying if I said my systems were hooked to a sony 850A 4k tv also...lmao

[Clarence]

Nice name drop but stop lying!

[gnothe1]

I gave you BOTH gamer tags for you to check for yourself which you wouldn't an you still have the audacity to call me a liar..lol...like a true sony fanboy..lol

[LexHazard79]

I dont why the fanboys are making such commotion, Metal Gear fanbase is bigger than TF. Its been established since 80s Titanfall is new IP trying to find its way to the gamers! You guys act like this is some huge Triumph!!

I always assumed that both Infamous and Metal Gear would dk better do to fact that you also have single player mode and are already popular in their own right!

BTW- Infamous is one of the best looking games I have ever seen and cant wait to play it!

[corvusmd]

This isn't surprising at all, XB1 owners are still playing TF as evidenced by the fact that it's still number 3 on the list, and like Phil Harrison said last week, TF gets played an average of 5 hours a day....XB1 owners don't have time to play MGS (I bought it, but have spent a total of MAYBE 20 minutes playing it). PS4 owners on the other hand were in the middle of a little games drought and looking for a game to play when these two came a long....these sales aren't really that surprising at all.

[Bobets]

LOL!!!!!! ahahahahaahaha!!! them tears! I love it this is why I love this gen because its the xb1 fanboys turn to make all sorts of BS theory to explain why PS4 dominates their favorite console.

[kenshiro100]

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Btw, Playstation fans are not in the middle of a 'game drought' as you so claim.

That's just your poor man argument speaking.

[GTgamer]

Lmao PS4 has more games than Xone fact and PS4 gamers get free games every month and we have free to play's and the better version all multiplatform games so that imaginery drought in your head needs to go away but hey whatever makes sleep at night and its funny you say PS4 has no games but all you guys talk about is Titanfall so apparently you only have one Game (•ิ_•ิ).

[Clarence]

Lol the sales have fallen off for titanfall. Face it, titanfall was not the system seller that EA and M$ thought it would be.
As far as games go, xbone launch games were supposed to be on the 360, but Sony forced them M$ to move th to the xbone. Which explains why their 720-900p.

It's cool though go ahead and keep being mad. It's quite comical.

[DeadManMMX]

I have both I bought the PS4 one because it just felt right. I was a bit tempted to try it out for that body snatchers mission I might still if the price drops. Many years ago I started my Metal Gear journey with MGS Solid on Ps1 and it felt weird playing the hd collection on my 360. Just like it would feel weird playing a online first person shooter of any kind on my ps3 or ps4.

[NeloAnjelo]

I'm happy for Infamous and Suckert Punch. Well deserved for a great game.

[mcarsehat]

more people won ps4's so how does stuff like this constitute as news every day?

[Hicken]

More people don't "won" three times more PS4s, though.

And the big news is that the XB1's big seller, Titanfall, had a massive dropoff in sales AND was beaten by both inFamous and the "ripoff demo" called Ground Zeroes.

[poboy993]

I have always preferred playing Metal Gear on a Sony when provided.

[TristanPR77]

Wow Infamous track is just 3 days since it released on Friday. If Infamous was released on Tuesday they would have surpassed killzone.

Ground Zero proves that PS4 have a bigger installed based than xbone and that people do care about quality, resolution, visuals and performance.

Titanfall - 73 drop was totally unexpected, it is a big drop so early, it is a bad sign.

[Sadist3]

You people need to get a life. The day I start caring about which company sold more is the day I actually am getting paid by that company. You idiots are boasting about which system sold more, but yet they're not even paying your dumb ass

[TheStruggleIsReal]

Anybody find it hilarious that the Last Of Us is still in the list despite it coming out over 9 months ago LOL
A testament to how good the game is I guess.

[FinalomegaS]

system bundle?

greatest hits discount game?

what is really left to play on the PS3 that has enough media advert, think this game is the one.

think those reasons would answer your question with the new system out.

[HumanatPlay]

Just beat infamous second son in a day...thats never happened to me before with an open world game. It was surprisingly a non-stop super hero ride from the moment i got the 1st power. Great lead, nice supporting characters and I love the villain. Was just a great run and that was only on good play through. Now for evil :)

[urwifeminder]

Sony buying their own stock again hey helps drive sales I guess.

[Bobets]

HAHAHAHA this is some new shit! whats next sony hi jacking the titanfall shipment thus titanfall sales dropping -73%.

[urwifeminder]

No need to use foul language , such bad manners.

[saint_seya]

Have you been swiming on the sea today? i ask because you look so salty!!
Hahaha those salty tears, its really killing you right?i mean to see sony consoles-software selling the most.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Well most true MGS fans will only play it on a PlayStation console. Xbox fans don't know much about MGS. And has anyone noticed how hard it is to find Ground Zeroes on PS4 ?

[patrik23]

Good job SONY! Demolishing competition

[Lordofrankness]

ps4: exclusives
killzone
knack
infamous

XB! exclusives:
TITANFALL
DEAD RISING 3
RYSE
PLANTS VS ZOMBIES (timed exclusive)
FORZA
KINEXT SPORTS (APRIL)

as a owner of both and a pc player first im hoping sony gets some games coming. im worried about their $$ situation. selling divisions and losing a ton of talent in the executive section and development section. plus the MORPHEUS headset? its a coin flip IMO im not going to spend up to 300$ for a headset. then the camera, then another 250 for a vita

PS4: 399
vita:249
Ps4 camera:69 (not even full 1080p BTW)
Morpheus: (rumored 249)
ps tv (rumor 2014/2015)

that is $966 w out tax to get the full playstation experience?

and we rip on MS for making us pay 499?

[Baka-akaB]

The camera isnt even at 69 .

The vita isnt even a ps4 accessory but its own console . Or did you do bs math too adding a , gba ds or 3ds to the cost of a wii , gc and wii u just because they have features on each other ?

ps TV is basically a non portable vita/ps2/1 (and 3?) streaming machine , wtf is it even doing in your list ?

Didnt feel like adding a mobile phone or tablet to the cost while you're at it ?

Not calling you a fanboy or anything , but that's a lot of work for some fudged maths .

To have a similar gaming experience than an XB1 , you just pay 399 period . or even drop in the camera if you care about the motion angle . Doesnt change much .

Only reason you could leave out extra costs for XB1 , like VR solutions or an handheld console tie , is because it's missing for now . it wouldnt cost any less

ps : Also if you are going to count stuff plant vs zombie where is the ps4 indie exclu equivalent ?

And if you are counting games from april , where are the missing ps4 exclusives ? Such as FFXIV ?

[MatriXcian]

WOW, your fanboyism is definitely showing. You seem to have left out several games on the Playstation side to try and prove a point but in doing so just proved your idiocy. What about warframe, DCUO, or Blacklight Retribution ? Or how about dont starve, Outlast or Final Fantasy speaking of that you forgot to mention Resogun a release game that was free for plus members that smashed everything the Xbone had to offer at the time? Im sure youll come back with but but those are on the pc as well and ill come back with well so is Titanfall dumbass.

I have never gotten a chance to play any of the games in the metal gear series unfortunately and I dont believe GZ would be the place to start. I'm assuming many other xbox owners are in the same boat. I will be buying my friends ps3 after DS2 comes out for pc and he wont need it anymore, is MGS4 an alright place to start the series?

[KonsoruMasuta]

Get the MGS: Legacy collection. It's $50 but has 5 games in one bundle. That's all you need to get started.

[JoseV76]

@The infected, no not Xbox troll dummy, I have both systems and a pc, I just choose more wisely then you in what games to purchase or rent!

[mcarsehat]

OWN* it was a spelling mistake, use your brain after i didn't and the sentence might have made more sense.

yeah more people OWN ps4's so infamous was bound to sell more, the same with a game so cheap, yet MOST people don't know why, they will buy MGS: GZ and be shocked at how short it is. Most of the consumers don't go on sites like this. They buy the games when they buy them, they don't read reviews and news all the time.

[noctis_lumia]

metal gear will always be a playstation brand
ppl should start dealing with it

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Damn only after a few days that it's been out?? Wow very impressive indeed

[Pancit_Canton]

New Meme.

Titanfall -73%

[MatriXcian]

Lmfao to the fanboys saying Playstation 4 has no games. Looks to me like the Xbone has no games http://static.gamespot.com/...

[kewlkat007]

I'm more concerned about ground zero selling so much.. A fn Demo..and people will complain about dlc..and what should be free..this generation I tell ya

[Ninver]

great numbers for the ps4 and Infamous. MGS has always been prefered on ps systems so no surprise there.

[RobLoPR]

Metal Gear Solid should've been #1... since the $30 price tag since 1 month ago...

[kingPoS]

I'll get disagrees for saying so but I don't care, so I'll say it anyway. Playstation is the platform where you can enjoy most Metal Gear games.

Metal Gear Solid PS1
Metal Gear Solid VR missions PS1
Metal Gear Acid PSP
Metal Gear Acid 2 PSP
Metal Gear Solid portable Ops PSP
Metal Gear Online PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3

Gateway MT6706 2008

[Geekman]

Am I supposed to be surprised?

[Father Murder X]

why is this in the xbox section?

[S2Killinit]

damn. good numbers.

[idontcare]

of course it's selling well ... it's the first big game for PS4 and it's an established franchise.

can't wait for Mario Kart 8!
