PS4 vs Xbox One - US Launch Sales Comparison

"The 8th generation has heated up in the last few weeks with the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PlayStation 4 hit US shelves on November 15, followed by the Xbox One a week later on November 22.

The PlayStation 4 managed to sell 984,212 in the first 48 hours in the US, while there were 732,569 Xbox One's sold. The PlayStation 4 outsold the Xbox One by about one third.

There were 2,255,864 games sold for the PlayStation 4. That would put the attach ratio at 2.29 games sold for every console sold. There was also 1,885,427 games sold for the Xbox One. That would put the attach ratio at 2.57 games sold for every console sold. That figure is slightly higher than the PlayStation 4."

xbox one looks like they are wining the console wars we have 3 xbox one

trunkswd3786d ago

In the US sales are pretty even and it is anyone's game at this point.

aviator1893786d ago

I agree.
Marketing will play a huge role in the states.
And constant supply in the first few months.

Biggest3786d ago

Are you guys drunk? How are sales even when PS4 sold close to twice as many on launch?

MeknSence3786d ago (Edited 3786d ago )

There gonna believe what they want to believe. As we know (as a fact), this is only base on U.S. Therefore, why didn't they include Canada? Or U.K? So in that case, it's no way Xbox has similar or close units sold compare to what the PS4 sold. Plus for what has been reported, they are plenty of Xbox still available, but no PS4 available.

Don't worry, I ain't hating, just stating the facts!

At Pope, how is Xbox "winning"? Calculate the software total and then units separately. You'll see who's winning!

JokesOnYou3786d ago (Edited 3786d ago )

Yes X1 had 1 mil in 24hrs for 13 countries but that was all their 1st stock shipment spread out with the majority in the US, still you can launch in 100 countries but if you only ship 1 mil then that's all you can sell for launch plus so when sony announced 2 mil a few days later that is a cumulative total with more time for including a 2nd launch in other Europe. Now while a week more time on the market is irrelevant in the long run its still a significant difference when comparing launch sales just a few weeks after launch.

What it looks like is that sony had a initial larger stock than micro and they rightfully planned the lions share for the US then the rest for Euro but now they are facing supply shortages given more markets they are released in now. While micro was spread thin from the start due to launching in more markets even though like sony the lions share went to the US still with less initial stock and more markets at launch obviously it contributed to lower headline making numbers but it seems they are now getting more resupply stock in the US to even out or win the US market:

As of 10:30 PM Pacific Time 12/06/13
Now it's sold out again but not before it reached the #1 best seller on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/best-...

Also it's X1 is #12 while ps4 is dropped to #75 on the best sellers list of 2013 due to essentially lack of any significant re-supply allocations, I assume:

Yeah, lol...I'm left scratching my head over that last bit.

Veritas57843786d ago

I know right??...that figure is only for US n ps4 still have the lead...now lets put europe numbers...

my family as xbox one i have one and my mother as one and my brother in law has one oh i for got my Cousins have 8 xbox ones too so we have a good team wind titan fall comes out

avengers19783786d ago

200,000 more PS4s sold than XB1s in NA alone... How exactly is Xbox winning the console war, and you have 3 GTFO

trunkswd3786d ago

Second week sales in the US were much bigger for the Xbox One than the PS4. 307,000 for the Xbox One vs 87,000 for the PS4. However, both consoles are supply constrained and just about every console shipped will sell out within a few days. The true test is next year once they supply can match the demand.

OhhWerd3786d ago

@ biggest

Do you know math? Twice as many? Lmao

PSNrandom153786d ago

Lol I know xbots have selective memory and forget fast but the xbox 360 was outselling the ps3 2-1. So even if the sales are "even" that is a huge victory for sony as it is gaining back market share. Hell even if the dbox outsells the ps4 1.5-1 it still good for sony. But we know that the sales are not "even".

trunkswd3786d ago

Each generation is a reset. Being #1 the gen before doesn't mean anything. The PS2 is the bestselling console of all time, so everyone expected the PS3 to continue that trend. However, that did not happen. The 8th gen has just started and anyone could take it. Though I don't expect the PS4 or X1 to outsell each other by more than like 20m lifetime.

razrye3786d ago

How? Sony are selling double the numbers.

curtis923786d ago (Edited 3786d ago )

Not trying to stir anything up, just guiding some misguided people here, PS4 in NA the past week was all but nonexistent in stock due to supply being emphasized in the UK. So bulk of what PS4 has sold in NA is from the first 48 hours. Compared to XB1 with 2 weeks of sales. To say it's even is a gross oversimplification.

S2Killinit3786d ago

true. There is no PS4's anywhere right now. although, i think Best Buy is bringing a new batch on Sat or Sun

TheEvilGeneral3786d ago (Edited 3786d ago )

Don't guide anyone with that logic. How is it any different saying the XBOX is in short supply cause its been splitting its supply all around the world for the last 2 weeks, thus US sales could be better?

The playstation had a week of sales with no competitors and only in one region.

The XBOX had brand new competition buzz it had to fight as well a release in 13 countries.

The only place the PS4 has a clear, mile head advantage is in these forums, everywhere else its no better than the competition....

deno3786d ago

Who cares let's all play videogames.🎮🙌

Pogmathoin3786d ago (Edited 3786d ago )

Damn that shlt, lets fight over petty numbers! Games are for losers, sales numbers are for winners!! Hell yeah!.... Ahhh whatever, hope theres a Fallout 4 reveal, might go back and play Skyrim.... Gotta new laptop, finally get to play mods.... That morroblivion trailer looked incredible. Happy gaming Deno, that is what its about. Let the fanboys duke it out over numbers. Apparently they all work at games stores and have pictures of X1's gathering dust... But strangely not one of them has a smartphone with a camera.... Odd, I always thought Kingthrash was tech savvy....

parentsbasement3786d ago

Is one selling more than the other?....yes....does that mean the other one is doing poorly?......no.....

trunkswd3786d ago

Basically. They are both selling amazingly well.

ltachiUchiha3786d ago

Didnt the ps4 sell 1million+ in 24 hours in NA? It only has stopped selling because it was all sold out.

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer155d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138155d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Cacabunga155d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

155d ago
Notellin155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem155d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor155d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies155d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim154d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese154d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto154d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

GoodGuy09155d ago

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic155d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld155d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie155d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77155d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231154d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein155d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.

P_Bomb155d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

I hear ya bud. We're due for a revival.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor346d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar346d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg345d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149345d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138346d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim345d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC345d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138345d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle345d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76345d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger345d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca345d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal345d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright345d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
