Great for infamous: SS (thanks The_Infected :-)) and PS4!

Uncharted sold 695,304 according to VGchartz but how did Insiderp came up with the 1 million sold at launch total from their page. Hmmm?

[Eonjay]

They said they sold 1 million through March 28

[No_Limit]

They also said previously that the game has 1 million preorder sold due to their contact with SCE.

http://insiderp.com/news-an...
Courtesy of our close amigo at SCE, as of March 18,2014, the game has 1 million pre-orders globally. This is the first time pre-orders for any next-gen game has reached a million before release.

Like for real do you really think SCE will give an unknown site that was created a few months ago in December the numbers and no other gaming outlets? I let you put 2 and 2 together.

[Eonjay]

@No_Limit:

Honestly who knows... the internet is a very interesting place with lots of claims, insiders, predictions, misunderstandings, and even an Xbox One that is secretly hiding 25 stacked GPUs.

Entertain yourself with the rumors, but only take the official press releases seriously.

[DigitalHope]

VGChartz doesn't take digital into account. At least that's what I have heard.

[NewMonday]

@No_Limit
"according to VGchartz"

they have the same sources as Insiderp ..NON!

@PassiveAttack

they don't take real sales data into account, publishers and retail don't give them information, they just do polls and apply them to consoles in the market and then they get their magic numbers.

[Axios2]

I think you mean "infamous" and not "Uncharted"

TitanFall is over 1.1m in week 2 according to the chart, really moving well (it was over 900k in week 1).

These are retail of course and don't include digital sales

@ Eonjay, It would be huge mistake to ue the first 2 days of a games sales compared to 1 week or 2 worth of sales. All games drop by a large degree, PSU is reporting 67% drop for Infamous (PSU being reputable, Insidedep being a sad hate site). All that being said, games like TF will spike again come Sep when MS triples the number of countries it sell in.

@cozemel, are you having trouble reading the chart provided in the post? It CLEARLY shows TF at 1.1m+

Here's the PSU article for your "delusions"

http://www.psu.com/a022910/...

@Scott, something would be very wromg if a game sold more in 13 countries than in 57.

@Scott #2, Last gen NA and Uk represented 53m 360 sales, say the other 9 countries take it to 60m, that leaves 1/3 more sales

@ Chris..., depends on the attach rate, after digital sales it could be 50%, so the answer to your question would be 800,000 based on last gen

[GarrusVakarian]

TF is doing well, but Infamous SS selling 695,304k in 2 days(it was released March 21st and this is from the week ending March 22nd) is unbelievable. I honestly would not have expected a singleplayer game to do this well.

Take all of these numbers with a grain of salt though, it is VGChartz after all.

[Eonjay]

There are a few ways to look at it.

1. You have to be correct because at over a million units it has an attach rate of over 25% - even if some Xbox Ones are literally attached in the box :)
2. In comparison to Infamous:SS's two day/first week total, it is under-performing because it only sold 225k/day compared to SS's 350k/day.
3. This game is online only so I wouldn't be surprised if it has a ton of digital downloads.

[georgeenoob]

Over 1 million copies of TF sold with 4 million X1's. Now THAT is impressive. Infamous selling around 1 million with 7 million PS4s is good too, but not as impressive.

[cozomel]

@axios2
nice delusions

[cozomel]

@axios

I said it before and i'll say it again, "delusion", its vgcharts and if you dont understand what that means then you're the one with comprehension problems, you're delusional man.

[scott182]

Look at how well Killzone SF sold and it had an even smaller install base.

shooters sell better, it's just how it goes. And third party always sells better on the PS4 worldwide regardless of the game since day 1.

I like that sales matter again for certain people though.

[chrisarsenalsavart]

And how many more copies of TF MICROsOFT would have sold in Japan?

Lol

[scott182]

@Axios

"something would be very wromg if a game sold more in 13 countries than in 57."

Not if those 13 territories make up basically the entire bulk sales for games and systems for MS. The other territories were almost non existent for MS's overall sales figures last gen, could that be why they haven't considered them priority?

But even individual territories PS4 has better 3rd party sales... Look at MGS and Tomb Raider in the US. They look better and sell better on PS4.

[GribbleGrunger]

"Over 1 million copies of TF sold with 4 million X1's. Now THAT is impressive. Infamous selling around 1 million with 7 million PS4s is good too, but not as impressive."

@georgeenoob: I want you to relax for a moment. Sit back and digest what you've just written ... Is that long enough? Now contemplate on how quickly you accept 7 million PS4s sold when it suits your argument. Do you see what I mean? Surely you do. You've just learned your first lessen in honesty, and I'm sure you'll now completely accept the X1 is 3 million behind without question ...

[Evilsnuggle]

@No_Limit
Some of us are stealth trolls and use backhanded language When talking of Sony.

Axios2
Titanfall is selling I don't think it will sell 1 million xbone consoles. Michael Pachter said 500,000 that sounds about right to me.
Why do the xbone fanBoys keep talking about 13 countries vs 57 countries. First off The xbone is being out sold by PS4 in each of the 13 countries That's the xbone fanBoys Are focused on. Number 2 Microsoft is not in 57 because there is a lack of demand in those countries for xbone. Microsoft has 900000 consoles sitting on selves in the USA and U.K. that is enough to supply the 57 countries. The PS4 is in limited supply but they are in 57 countries. The xbone is in full supply and is being discount buy $50-70 . But Microsoft can't supply 57 countries but xbone is over stocked and being discount in the USA and U.K
. I have a bridge to sell You xbone fanBoys Are so delusional it's scary.

player002
Hideo Kojima didn't gimp the xbone version of MGS5: Ground Zeroes . No the xbone hardware is gimped already . The xbone is weak hardware with Esram and a entry level Three year old GPU and slow ram.

Vgchartz is just guessing wait four hey official announcement from SONY , Microsoft or NPD
http://www.gamespot.com/art...

[scott182]

@Axios

Well, the fact is Playstation does much better in the non major territories than Xbox has by far. Plus Sony is starting to take back the major territories as well. I just don't see it making a difference for MS to release in other territories. I guess we will find out.

[Akuma07]

WHAT?! Really?!?!

So you're basically saying that Titanfall has seen a 90% decrease in sales in it's second week. WOW. That's NOT a good thing dude. It basically says most of it's sales are from die hard fanboys.

Compare that to Infamous' 67% decrease LOL

[Sarcasm]

Anybody else notice the massive disparity of MGSV on the PS4 vs the XOne?

[player002]

yes unfortunately its true looks better on ps4 he gimped it no reason why it could not be 1080p 30 fps or 900p 60 fps smh

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah. That can be extended to include PS3/4 Vs 360/One sales.

Metal Gear has traditionally been a PlayStation game though.

[Eonjay]

1. inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4) Sony Computer Entertainment, Action 695,304
2. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS4) Konami Digital Entertainment, Action 433,118
3. Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster (PS3) Square Enix, Role Playing 331,803
4. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS3)
Konami Digital Entertainment, Action
228,431
5. Titanfall (XOne) Electronic Arts, Shooter 208,439

For infamous, thats 347k/day for being onsale for only two days.
Also when all SKU's for Metal Gear are added together, it actually outsold Infamous according to this site.

[BelkingOfSony]

it's lolchartz, infamous obviously sold more, and titanfall obviously sold less.

Victory for PS4! PS4 world domination! Sold almost double what the xbox one sold!
PS4 is future and future is PS4! (i got the hatsune miku virus)

[marloc_x]

you have some hatsune miku dripping..

[frostypants]

I would hope that any reasonably hyped game launched across 4 platforms with a combined install base of over 170 million, would outsell a game released only on a brand new platform with an install base of just over 6 million.

[G20WLY]

Dat 500 PERCENT global PS4 software sales increase! @_@

[bleedsoe9mm]

strong week across the board

[josephayal]

Supreme victory for Sony

[Flamingweazel]

Sony dominates just by having more supply hit stores.

[BG11579]

The top at vgchartz is infamously misleading has for the game has been sold only for 2 days of that week.
Having said that, hell of a good performance from infamous.

[WeAreLegion]

It was a good week for the whole industry.

Any bets on Goat Simulator taking the top spot next week?

(I realize we'll never know, since it's only sold digitally, but humor me.)

Edit: You don't understand N4G. Without the parentheses, I'll get people complaining that we won't know because it's digital. Also, disagrees and debubbling.

[Burrito26a]

It was funny until you put that bit in parentheses.

[TheFallenAngel]

Were there any bundles for infamous? And I'm talking about infamous included at the regular price of the ps4.

[elazz]

I do remember bundles but they were 450 euros and limited. Most people needed to buy both seperate.

[ThePope]

You know I wish they reported digital sales. I have only bought a few games digitally (Titanfall and NBA 2K14) but the other day I had to put a disc in, and it was terrible. I would much rather just Say "Xbox, go to Game X". This has really changed my opinion on digitally purchased games.

I have a feeling all these games had a large digital presence.

[xDHAV0K24x]

amen brother. no need to buy a disc unless it's collector's edition

[cell989]

No thanks, I like my games to be on a tangible medium

[MysticStrummer]

They should report digital sales for sure, but I prefer a disc based copy and probably always will unless digital becomes substantially cheaper.

[curtis92]

Okay, 2,498,948 units total in a week has to be a record for the top 10 in the month of march.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Delirious, Titanfall selling one million its impressive, since only 4 million xbox have been sold.

Cheers!

[shivvy24]

These are just 2 days of infamous ss being out, yep titanfall doing well too

[Hicken]

Keep in mind- though I know you'd rather not- that Titanfall's success is due to being heavily bundled and discounted.

The number alone is impressive, but the reasons for that number take some of the luster away.

[DanManDantheMan]

Heavily bundled? What the heck does that even mean lol?

[Avernus]

Titanfall is an online FPS, the #1 genre on consoles. One would hope it sold a bunch with the amount of hype it got. But you can't take away the success of inFamous especially that it's a SP only game and not a FPS.

[sic_chops]

And 500,000 of those were bundled in for free.

[TristanPR77]

Impressive numbers for Infamous on just 2 days. I'm glad the game is getting the praise it deserve since it's is pretty good.

[UsUcK]

Omg i just had to pause my infamous game to post here. So....well done Sony :)

[MasterCornholio]

Did you do it from your PS4?

;)

[Geobros]

Mario Party is doing well for a 3DS game....

[silkrevolver]

Man, the difference between Ground Zeroes sales on the PS4 and Xbox One is INSANE.

I guess gamers still see MGS as a Playstation game... kind of like Final Fantasy when XIII came out.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I know man that's why I've always said MGS would never sell good on Xbox. Even PS3 version above Xb1. Phantom Pain will be best on PS4 too. Can't wait to play it and even though Ground Zero was short I enjoyed.

[InSpectre]

Big numbers from SONY. I didn't expect to see 3.7 million pieces of software sold this week to Xbox 1.4 million. Even the Vita that everyone says should be taken out to the woodshed sold almost as much as the XBone.

PS3 2,039,084
PS4 1,357,693
PSV 411,784

X360 952,989
XOne 447,657

[sebzhd]

Sony rules until the end of this 8th generation.

[Geekman]

Everything but the original Wii seems to at least be selling decent numbers. But can I ask why you people are still buying the Wii?

[Gardenia]

Not good that MGSV is selling that much. This is not a good way to send out a message that paying 30 for a demo will not be tolerated by gamers. But now we might see more of this in the future

[Bathyj]

Maybe the message being sent was that people didnt want to wait a year and a half to play some Metal Gear Solid.

No ones being duped, people arent idiots, we all know how long the game is and how much it costs. Its up to individuals to decide whether its personally worth it for them. It seems for nearly 3 quarters of a million gamers it was.

I understand your point, you dont want to set a precedent and send the industry in a dangerous direction, but if you really wanted to protect it, we'd all stop buying FPS's for multiplayer and add on map packs.

PS
Im going choose to be hopeful over cynical and hope that Ground Zeros success encourages Kojima to make make the most epic game he can, cos thats what he always does anyway.

[Knushwood Butt]

The global software sales per platform are also worth noting.

PS3 and PS4 selling the most software by a significant margin.

3DS below 360.

[TheRedButterfly]

Vita outsold the PS3? lol I call bull!

[DarXyde]

Well, that's interesting: Despite the small PS4 userbase (relative to PS3), Ground Zeroes on PS4 outsold it. I really expected the PS3 version to sell better given the much larger install base. Could just be that everyone Either way, Konami made out like a bandit with Ground Zeroes considering they very likely weren't out to sell millions on a prologue.

The XBOX One version didn't do bad at all, actually. Assuming word of Ground Zeroes' offerings hit most console owners, the sales of an XBOX One version will likely do better when the Phantom Pain drops. Not as well as PS4 or PS3, but I still expect good numbers.

[urwifeminder]

Great work MS keep that entertainment rolling in.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

PS4 and Nintendo 3DS FTW ! They just can't be stopped.

[frankdrebin72]

i wonder what percentage will trade their copy of infamous s s once they played it twice?
