[xHeavYx]

Interesting, PS4 sales up and Xbox One sales down in MS' territory

[GraveLord]

PS4 got a big shipment this week. Looks like demand is still limited by supply somewhat.

[xHeavYx]

Yes, also interesting that Sony somehow manages to sell more units even though supplies are more limited

[Eonjay]

@GraveLord

Exactly.

[Bathyj]

Heavy

Exactly.

[amiga-man]

Not looking good for M$, they can't allow this to continue to lose America would be a huge blow but other than releasing a kinectless xboxone to get the price down I'm not sure what they can do.

Even that won't make up for the lack of power in the xbox so may not change things that much.

[badboy776]

This is the only way Microsoft can sell there console. By getting in Bed with

McDonald's
Doritos
NFL
etc...........

And Now Promotional agreements with Machinima & Youtube. Everytime You guys post Sales numbers you need to also Factor in How much Money Microsoft is actually losing/Spending on Marketing.

[GusBricker]

Xbox One has sold less consoles, but has higher software sales and they're in trouble? Really?

[amiga-man]

@GusBricker
Xbox One has sold less consoles

In a country they dominated last gen, that is not good no matter how you try and slice it.

[FlunkinMonkey]

Truefan? Edonus? Kayle?

You starting to understand how supply and demand works now, yes?

[live2play]

Yea because when sony tells you. Without a preorder you will not fnd one because supply is limited so get one now fast!
EVERYONE regards it as truth

Buy when another certain company was having stock shortags everyone claimed they were only doing it to creat false demand

You guys are pathetic

And before you get all fired up. I am not saying sony is lying. Im saying you people are hypocrites

[blackbeld]

@live2play

And I'm saying you're immature.

Playstation dominates #dealwithit

[Stedron]

No they didn't

[Axios2]

I always laugh at thought of North America as MS territory.

From 1996 to 2001 the PS1 sold exceptionally well in NA, Sony owned NA.

From 2001 to 2007 the PS3 sold 3 times as many Xbox's, Sony owned NA again.

From 2008 to 2014 Sony lost it's dominance, so now according to the fanboys, NA is MS territory, lol

Sony = 11 years of NA dominance
MS = 7 years of NA dominance

Today The PS4 hasn't come close to selling like the old 3 to 1 ratio in NA, or 5 to 1 in the world.

Average:
PS4...490k per week into 53 countries
X1....380k per week into 13 countries @ $100 more

[xHeavYx]

You forgot to mention that the PS4 is the only console sold out everywhere

[FITgamer]

I don't see why you always try to use the consoles per country averages. It would make sense if they were all getting supplied with an equal amount of consoles, but they aren't so it isn't accurate.

[BG11579]

Didn't MS sold 3.9 million Xbox One?
Because when I had the NA and the EU they don't get close to 3 millions...
Are they selling in other countries that we don't know?

[Bowzabub]

You also forgot to mention that people weren't struggling to pay their mortgages in those years that PS dominated like that. US is finally starting to make a comeback and it will take some time no doubt, but those 3:1 numbers may very well be coming back sooner than later buddy.

[saint_seya]

So your week average is worlwide interesting, i thought that Ps4 released a week later on europe, guess is good to avoid pointing that if you are a MS fanboy :)

[Axios2]

@ saint

Never forget

Sony CHOSE to put 100% of their effort into launching in North America first, because it's the largest market on earth.

You wouldn't wan't to see a US average, but if you insist:

US average
PS4...226k per week
X1....234k per week @ $100 more

[Beastforlifenoob]

Get this through your head noobs. The best gaming company in the world is undoubtedly Sony. Thats why i have been loyal 100% since PS1

PS1 raped n64 (Both by using CD's and shear sales)

PS2 murderd the XBX classic and Gamecube (SALES)

PS3 faced a 90(0) steep climb and still again proved to release the BEST first party and third party support against the wii and 360 (sales did not beast because again steep climb for sony)

PS4 is destroying

Also the argument that sony shipped to 53 countries and xbx sold to 13 is crazy because if i have 100,000 units of a device produced I can only sell 100,000 units even if is ship it to 120 countries. Its just that ill ship less to every country BUT I WILL STILL SELL 100,000 units.

[H0RSE]

@Heavy

It isn't sold out everywhere... I was just at Target over the weekend, and the guy had like 3 in stock, and like 8 X1's.

[dantesparda]

@MylittlePony/horsie

Sup, coward, i see you're dumb enough to think anecdotal experience is valid, try again kid

[H0RSE]

@dantesparda

I don't "think" anything, I don't care if others think it is valid. There approval doesn't change facts.

Oh, and thanks for this awesome nugget of maturity and adulthood you sent me via PM, under a different username of course:

"Faggot ass fuck, suck some more dick, you bitch ass nigga and stop sweating companies you pathetic ass nigga/dumb ass fuck. Later bitch!"

Keep on keepin it classy...

[fonger08]

@HORSE wow... just wow. That sounds like the same 13yr old rant I got on Battlefield last night... good times.

[Shnazzyone]

Wow.. only 60k, it's gonna take a while for ps4 to overtake wii U's numbers at this rate.

[Eonjay]

Well, the 9% increase is either an increase in demand or an increase in stock. And sense there were no big releases, I think its fair to say its an increase in stock for the PS4. For the Xbox One we know there is stock so it represents a 20% decrease in demand week over week.

[izumo_lee]

So that Xboxone sales lead in December was short lived. All the PS4 needs to do to expand on that half a million lead is to stay in stock.

[T2]

very true... the stock debate is about to be ended through january and february... Sony will continue to sell through their stock throughout february.....
supply and demand.

[pyramidshead]

Reading your comment and smirking at all the people back in the comment section raving on about Xb1 winning the december NPD and they're all going to be eating some seriously delicious crowy crow.

January NPD is going to be a satisfying blood bath.

[sebzhd]

Incredible PS4. She rules over one in US!!!
Just imagine 22 january, withe PS4 launch in Japan.
PS4 as PS2, PS1, rules until the end of the gen. Sorry and bye bye M$.

[Seraphemz]

I am a huge SONY supporter. But i wouldnt want M$ to go anywhere, they are making SONY push farther and try harder. And I win on that end.

With no M$, why would SONY try hard to keep my business?

[sebzhd]

Nintendo and smartphones are enough. M$ is useless in console video games. worst exclusives in the last gen, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz...
no more. Please new CEO, sell xbox to another.

[PeaSFor]

competition is always good.

[DivineAssault]

M$ doesnt own any territory as it stands right now.. I doubt theres much they can do to mess with Sony now... I must admit that M$ humbled them & made em learn they can get their butts whipped but im sure they took it as a lesson.. Now lets all hope that PS4 isnt held back by devs trying to cater to the LCD

[searcam01]

Sorry, did not mean to disagree.

[GotEnder]

i was worried that forced parity would be problem. after cod ghosts was 720p on xbox1 and 1080p on ps4 i stopped worrying.

[GusBricker]

I'm actually shocked that Forza, Ryse and Dead Rising 3 have all outsold Killzone in America.

[mhunterjr]

Why surprised about Forza? Not that these titles go head to head, but Forza has consistently outsold killzone. it has a bigger fan base.

Also Launching along side bf4 and cod doesnt do killzone any favors

[GusBricker]

No reason really. I put it in because it was 1 of the 3 major retail exclusives for the Xbox One.

[Ricegum]

You're getting a little desperate now, I can smell it.

[GusBricker]

Desperate? Naw, more like I didn't think the Xbox One would have the attach rate that it does.

[DevilishSix]

Why would you be shocked that Forza, Ryse, and Dead Rising ousold Killzone in America? Killzone launched along side BF4 and COD Ghosts so the fps genre was saturated at launch on the PS4.

[christocolus]

I guess the hype is over.Exclusive ip is what will push sales of both consoles from this point onwards.

@eonjay

Yeah i agree. Some exceptional multiplats will definitly move a few consoles but not as much as exclusives will.

The launch hype has died down and its obvious this decline in sales isnt just in the us its also hapening in the uk. Alot of gamers are still playing their ps3 and 360s and dont see the need to upgrade,until they start moving over we wont see huge monthly sales figures anymore like we saw at launch period. may be till black friday and the holliday season(dec).

Exclusives play a far more vital role than multiplats in console sales.

[Eonjay]

Nope. The top selling game on both platforms is still... you guessed it COD. Exclusives are nice, but the real system sellers are all multiplats. I can't believe that GTA 5 sold 32 million, but yeah, thats another multiplat utterly destroying all exclusives.

[fonger08]

I can't believe someone finally said this... you sir deserve a bubble and virtual high-five. I've been saying this for years, games like Infamous, Uncharted, Pikmin, God of War, Gears of War, while fantastic games and sell really well for 1st party titles, typically don't push consoles out the door like COD or GTA. While arguments can be made for the Marios, Gran Turismos, or Halos for spiking console demand... they are usually the exception more than the rule.

[No9]

Mulitplats will sell consoles, exclusives will sell the console tied to it, the more exclusives a console has, the more attractive it becomes.

Why would you buy a console where multiplats are the same, but exclusives are weaker? huh, XBOX360?

[urwifeminder]

Numbers are rather abysmal for all times are tough I guess.

[WeAreLegion]

O_o

[MRMagoo123]

I wouldnt worry about wifebender, he only accepts news thats good about xbone anything else is just bad news.

[roland82]

The ps vita is all but dead

[Sayburr]

Now last week's XBO win makes sense to me. There just wasn't enough PS4s in the market place for Sony to outsell Microsoft. The PS4 increase is not because of a specific game, so it seems to me like it is a result of pent up demand.

[DC777]

5k people are still buying Wii. Pull the plug already...

[Metallox]

And buy a Wii U.

[Dehnus]

3k people are still buying the PS Vita! Pull the plug already!

[captainexplosion]

Last week more Vitas were sold in Europe than WiiUs and the Vita has more than doubled lifetime WiiUs sales in Europe. Last week in Japan the Vita sold more than twice the amount of WiiUs and Wii's combined.

[Dehnus]

@CaptainExplosion and Disagreers:
Funny how a jab at Nintendo is more allowed than a wisecracking jab back at Sony.

Lovely place N4G these days ;).

[Tito08]

And there's nothing wrong with Nintendo getting more jabs than Sony, and don't pretend as if you Nintendo fanboys doesn't do the same exact thing to other consoles, get with the times fanboy.

[Bowzabub]

That 5k was new nursing homes have been built.

[NeloAnjelo]

Sony stock = BONE Crushed

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

100k unit difference in a generation where each system will sell an estimated 100 MILLION units somehow equals that the Xbox isn't selling well?

It's looks like it's fine to me.

[captainexplosion]

Its funny you mention the 100K USA difference yet cite the 100M WORLDWIDE estimate. Shouldnt your use the Worldwide sales figure that has the PS4 comfortably in the lead with a 50% advantage even with supply constraints and not yet releasing in Japan?

The 360 destroyed the PS3 in America 43M to 26M and in the UK the 360 outsold the PS3 8.8M to 5.8M. Yet the PS3 outsold the 360 in global sales. If the XBone is losing in territories it easily won last gen, territories it is in stock but the PS4 is still hard to find, how will the 360 do in territories that the PS3 easily won in like Japan, Australia, and the rest of Europe?

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

You're talking about "winning".

I'm talking about it selling well.

[MRMagoo123]

@Djustin

No, you are spinning and twisting facts to make things seem better for the Xbone.

[pyramidshead]

Nice +9 for PS4 there. What's with Xbone's -13?

[mediate-this]

I dont understand the circl jerk over one selling more then another, one will sell better then the other, there not going to be deadlocked, if ps4 sells to 2-3 mil more then xbone but there still selling good, i dont see the big deal. Sony did a good job woth everything sp they deserve the sales, but xbox is great too, they just need to earn the gamers back.

[Cupid_Viper_3]

You know, I'm right there with you on that. I don't get the circle jerk thing myself. I'm more of a triangle or trapeze jerk kinda guy tbh. Anything with angles I can tolerate.

I have had it with these effing circle jerks!

[Hicken]

But PS4 isn't gonna sell just a few million more. It will have done that by the end of this year, at the current rate. That will become a bigger and bigger deal as the generation wears on. Generally speaking, the console that sells the most is the "winner," and the winner has pretty heavy influence on the industry.

Remember the 360 parity clause?

The circle jerk is also due to the jerk attitude xbox fans have had for the whole past generation. You know full well how you and yours have acted. What's transpiring now is simply the backlash from that.

It'd be nice if folks speed acting like Sony fans should suddenly be so much more mature than xbox fans were to them all this time.

The constant whining about it is really pretty sad.

[DanielGearSolid]

To put it simply if the X1 doesn't absolutely destroy the Ps4 in the US the gap will keep growing

360 had to sell almost 15mil more units in the US, just to keep up with Ps3 worldwide

[6DEAD6END6]

PS4 sales up

http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attach...

[Whiskeyjacked87]

I'm trying to find @Truefan1 and @georgeenoob anyone see them? I'm excited to see what nonsense they can make up I'm defense of X1.

[Minipandaninja]

I do the same thing lol I always try to guess which article they will be trolling. Those guys are funny XD

[doolin_dalton]

Maybe they'll show up as soon as the people who hated VGChartz for the past 7 years show up. You know, the people who said things like:

"VGCharts is run by some fat kid who lives in his parent's basement"

"He was banned on NeoGaf for making up fake numbers"

Funny how so many people are now here in defense of VGChartz. I guess they've suddenly become 100% accurate over the past few months.

[Clarence]

Actually the PS4 numbers are much higher, seeing as these numbers are from vgchartz.

Vgchartz has proven to be full of $h!t when it comes to Playstation. The facts is last gen they under tracked PS3 numbers. They are surely under tracking PS4 numbers as well.

Last gen M$ had that year head start, vgchartz could make numbers all day. Now it's a toe to toe race. It's much harder to cover up the a$$ kicking that Sony is putting on M$ this gen.

Vgchartz has never been %100 accurate.

[Whiskeyjacked87]

Adding @Doolin_dalton to my mental list of Xbox fanboys who's comments I'm going to read just to get a laugh.

[PressStart14]

lol wii is still selling wonder whos still buying it

[Clarence]

Anybody seen georgreenoob and trufan1

[SoulSercher620]

I think I saw them hiding in the corners of the internet shaking in fear of the PlayStation Domination.

[dwlwoolers]

Ah comeone layoff on the ps Vita hate. The ps4 is doin awesome and I love every minute of it. Being a Vita owner and knowing that the ps4 gives it so much support make me giddy. Life only gets better as a PS Fan. PLAYSTATION DOMINATION has a good ring to it. We have to be careful though ps fans because the North Koreans love the Xbox1. There's a market that can decide who wins the console war, theyr such an open minded people with huge wallets, consistent electricity, and some of the best internet in the world.

[mediate-this]

All im saying is sales ae good to degree, but the triangle jerk is sometimes over done, i got both i support both. Just liked it better when this site was about the games.

[Stedron]

When was that??? I have been coming to this site for years and I never remember it being about games

[Hicken]

You haven't even been on this site a whole year. It definitely wasn't just about the games when you joined last April, so unless this is a new account, you're talking out of your rear.

Even then, you'd still be wrong, as this site was full of trolls and xbox fanboys even before I joined. Ask anybody who's actually been around that long, and they'll tell you the console wars have pretty much always been slice and well here. It's only now that xbox is on the short end of the graphics, sales, and PR stick that people like you wasn't to complain. I'll bet you weren't campaigning for peace with your old account.

What goes around comes around. Xbox fans talked a lot of trash and moved a lot of goalposts last gen while the 360 had various leads over the PS3. Those chickens have come home to roost, now that the PS4 holds significant advantages in every possible way.

You've got two choices. You can leave and find some place to soothe your bruised ego. Or you can follow the advice given in the immortal words of Adam Orth: deal with it.

[mediate-this]

Dude ive been visiting this site for a long long time. I just made a profile for the first eight to ten months ago i think. Way back this site was good, this site was actually funny, now it's just same ole dribble.

@above

Campaigning for peace? Just annoying hear you guys talk about the same stuff day in day out. Im all about the games, i play micro and sony and nintendo, i dont have a favourite. Plastic is plastic, i just can not comprehend how people hate on plastic.

Yeah im campaigning alright, i just want to talk about games, sure game sales grow the industry, but beating off to that is whack, atleast get playboy. Lol

[TristanPR77]

Very limited supply and the Ps4 still manages to sell more than xbone that is available everywhere, interesting.

[KevinCubes]

WiiU has the definitive gaming experience guys c'mon I heard it can perform 16k resolutions.

[Mr_Luke]

PS4 +9%, Xbone -13%. And it's USA. I guess Sony is conquering all the markets.
