[SilentNegotiator]

Looks like the Kinectless Xbone only went so far in catching them up to Ps4.

[randomass171]

Nice to see all of the current generation hardware outselling the previous generation stuff, even Vita and Wii U. I also like how XB1 and Wii U are making decent numbers in spite of PS4's monumental success. This is definitely a solid generation for everyone. :)

[SilentNegotiator]

Wii U is quickly heading back to it's pre-MK8 sales. They're going to need more than the occasional first party title and bought exclusive to keep decent numbers.

[LOL_WUT]

*WiiU 53,294 (-22%)*

Yep it's been on a decline they need a steady release of games to keep the momentum going just look at UFC's numbers. Releasing an exclusive every 3 to 4 months isn't going to improve Nintendo's current situation but then again its VG... ;)

[amiga-man]

What I find amazing is that everytime I look a what VGchartz is guessing at they always have the PS4 at a lower minus score than the xone, today the xone is plus the PS4 -3, but even when they have both minus scores the PS4 always has the biggest Minus.

Strange that a hardware selling so much better has never shown the higher trend but it VGchartz so i'm not surprised

[mikeslemonade]

VGC is good enough stop the nonsensical bashing.

The only thing I that doesn't make sense is they have the 360 and PS3 tied. How can that be when the PS3 has been outselling the 360 for over one year on a weekly basis.

82.4 mil for both of them. Don't let the 360 win.. Buy them PS3s!

[GiggMan]

So everything is at a decline (-) except Xbox hardware... -_-

[Spookshow]

EA Sports UFC is 65 - 70 on metacritic and yet 280 000 people boughh it on PS4 and 180 000 on Xbone? I guess they must really be desperate to play something new on their consoles.

No good games I can think of already available there that you can't play on PS3/X360.

[NewMonday]

I thought people would stop with VGCartz after the repeated fails and being off target by almost 100% from the last NPD numbers.

[morganfell]

@Silent,

It didn't go as far as vgchartz wants to mislead you to believe. The X1 has actually slid everywhere except for Walmart in the US and Amazon in the UK. Everywhere else it is far worse than before. Yet vgchartz keeps lying and n4g with no scruples and their hand out for payola keeps allowing them to publish stories. Stories that have proven to be inaccurate every single time.

I wonder how much vgchartz pays n4g. What is the price of integrity these days?

@NewMonday,

I contacted the staff months ago about this matter and Cat said there was a new format coming that would allow us more control to deal with stories that are pure FUD. It hasn't happened and honestly I do not think it will happen.

[3-4-5]

And they get 2nd sales from MK8 during holiday push along with smash brothers, which together will continue to help wii U console sales.

As long as more good games are on their way, it adds to the total collection of games worth getting and makes it more appealing to buy.

[randomass171]

I don't really remember Wii U making 50k+ each week though. That was what Wii U was selling across each month pre-MK8, if not even less than that. There's definitely some declination, but it's not as steep as the prior boosts the console got, probably because of the new bundle.

edit: I'm noticing a lot of disagrees on my first comment. In case there's any confusion, I'm just glad that all of the present generation consoles are outselling their previous generation counterparts. PS4 is outselling PS3 (though that's a given lol), XB1 is outselling 360, Wii U is outselling Wii, and Vita outsold PSP.

[HeWhoWalks]

Not really. It's still 25k behind it. It caught them up, for now, in the US, but elsewhere has had no impact at all.

I can only assume that people didn't truly take it as a "price cut". It's more of a removal of the Kinect (the one major thing that helped differentiate it from the PS4).

[mhunterjr]

I dunno, it looks like a pretty significant jump, especially considering there are a number of regions that still can't get an xb1 officially. I doubt it will ever 'catch' up to Sony's overall sales, but clearly, the added options are having a positive effect on their performance in the 'race'

[lfc_4eva]

I think xbox just needs to start selling in very similar numbers to the PS4. Then developers will be more willing to commit to making XB1 games and trying to get the best out of the system. So seeing % rising for XB1 is a step in the right direction. Yes they are small % rises, but it was highly unlikely to achieve a massive boost.

[Gunners14]

It worked in the u.s in some way

but it was never gonna outsell ps4 globally....

and who cares about sales anyway??

was the wii the best console last gen??

[Utalkin2me]

Whats do you consider best console? The Wii offered something for the whole family to enjoy and play and have fun with. And that was one of the reasons why it was so successful. On top of bringing the family together to play and have fun, it had some nice hardcore titles to complement it.

Sure it was not on par to graphics of the PS3 or Xbox 360. But it didn't need to be or want to be. It was about bringing the family together for fun. Thats the first time i have ever seen my dad play a video game and play games with me. And i enjoyed every minute of it, thanks to the Wii.

[NextLevel]

I'm not sure why people are disagreeing. According to Vgchartz (which overtracks the Xbox) the PS4 outsold the Kinectless Xbox One is the USA aswell, which says alot.
http://n4g.com/news/1541388...

On the US Amazon (right now) the PS4 is 8th and the Kinectless Xbox One is 49th. Amazon is also far more accurate than Vgchartz.
http://www.amazon.com/best-...

On CA Amazon the PS4 is 12th and the Kinectless Xbox One is again 49th.
http://www.amazon.ca/Best-S...

Again more accurate than Vgchartz.

[Ulf]

Amazon trends go up and down hourly. Telling us what the numbers are when you posted is almost a completely useless anecdote.

[kenshiro100]

Ulf, PS4 is still in the top ten while the XB1 is at 43.

Microsoft's strategy isn't working very well.

[Kavorklestein]

Amazon? LOL I don't know a SINGLE person who has ACTUALLY bought a console off of Amazon. I know that some people do, but most of my friends and family shop at actual stores WAY before they'd wanna waste money on shipping.
Amazon is about as trustworthy as a poll on facbook about which console is better. Sure, you'll get some data concerning the topic, but that's only gonna penetrate so much of the actual buying audience in the first place.

IN MY Experience, the same people who pre-order games just for the sake of pre-ordering, are the ones who might trust Amazon's orders like the Holy Bible.

There's way more factors at play than a simple "Who's top 10 on Amazon?" scenario.

But there's no point in discussing anything logical with you, you just do and say whatever you want regardless, like most of us gamers do.. So just realize that until we get a few years into the console "race" that numbers are more for show than actual principle. Remember how big of a gap the 360 had at the beginning? Let's just wait and see, and quit stroking your E-boner to a sales chart.

[NullPointer]

^Kavorklestein

Perhaps this picture from Amazon's Distribution Center represents a more significant sample size than you not personally knowing "a SINGLE person who has ACTUALLY bought a console off of Amazon."

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

[MysticStrummer]

@Kavorklestein - I don't know a SINGLE person who wants an XB1. Therefore no one has purchased one.

Wow that was easy!

I personally don't use Amazon much, but I know people who buy all kinds of things from there, including electronics such as consoles.

[Boody-Bandit]

"Amazon trends go up and down hourly."

Yet the PS4 hovers at or above 10.

Meanwhile the X1 hovers at or below 40 and sometimes dips below 50.

vgchartz is ran by an MS diehard that has been banned at many gaming forums and always over tracks MS products and usually (not always) under tracks Sony products.

They under tracked the PS4 nearly 2 to 1 according to NPD yet here they remain.

morganfell is right. N4G and vgchartz more than likely has some type of a deal. Their website is nothing but fanboy fodder which is always marked down from doubtful to no way. Yet here they remain.

I guarantee when NPD numbers are released Sony will be out in front by a much bigger margin than vgchartz is claiming yet again. MS needs to dig deeper and offer much better incentives or the gap is going to continue to widen.

[avengers1978]

As I always say it's VGCharts, just down vote and move on.

[MysticStrummer]

You're wasting your time with the down vote. Go to the vgchartz homepage and you'll find that N4G has a fairly prominent presence.

The best thing to do is just ignore the site when it shows up here, but that won't happen because people love to argue over the numbers no matter how many times they turn out to be way off.

[Magicite]

WiiU needs MK8 level game every month or even more often to go for a big numbers.

[troylazlow]

Xbox One up 71% Global Sales

[MysticStrummer]

XB1 sold 71k, a gain of 14%...

…according to vgchartz, which means we don't know what the hell really happened.

[troylazlow]

My bad, I was looking at software sales being up 71%

[showtimefolks]

I asked a Ptacher once what he thought about VGChartz(yeh yeh i know Ptacher is an idiot and all but he knows more than us)

He said something very interesting, well he explained with an interesting theory:

VGChartz isn't good if you want current up to date 100% correct Data, VGChartz is a site you can go to and see games that came last year and get 100% accurate date. Their first posting is just that a guess posting, but over time when more info on NPD is released. Than VGChartz will update to a more accurate number

so yes they are not right all the time upfront, but these guys do put an effort in and they keep updating to reflect the right numbers in the end

on topic:

its nice to see every console doing well

[frostypants]

It's not difficult to get the correct data later on. Anyone can do that.

[ITPython]

Oh look, PS3/PS4 negative percentage again. What a massively unpredictable gigantic surprise! And oh, XB1/360 in the positive yet again. I am shocked... absolutely shocked! /s

The saddest part is even with incredibly padded numbers for MS (and/or deflated numbers for Sony), XB1/360 still can't beat PS4/PS3. Just goes to show how insanely far behind the sales are in comparison that a biased website known to create fake sales numbers still can't falsify numbers higher than the competition. It must be REALLY bad for the XB1/360. And the month of June should have been MS's time to shine with the cheaper XB1, and it should have beat the PS4 every week. Yet even with low numbers for Sony and insanely high numbers for MS, it still didn't beat it. WOW. XB2 confirmed in 2015.

Everybody needs to make sure they vote down this site. Click on the vgchartz.com + link right below "Read full story" and vote 'WTF' on story quality, and 'No' under liking the website. VGCharts needs to be exiled permanently from the gaming community. And if anybody is up to it, summon your botnet and DDOS the site for as long as possible. It needs to be removed from the internet.

[air1]

O-o

It just means that the ps4 sold slightly better the month before... Considering that now you can get a xb1 for 399 I would hope they get a positive compared to the month before...

You post is what's sad.. I stopped reading at " insanely far behind"

I wonder what digitalraptor has to say about this! Lol

[Half_Minute_Hero]

tl;dr

go away, python.

[showtimefolks]

Wolfenstein: The New Order less than 1 million damn, the game is so good. Its excellent

i thought by now it would have reached 2-3 million

[Yetter]

Sort of. If you go check out the site the XB1 is outselling the PS4 in the US and the XB1 still has its worldwide release in Sept

[k3rn3ll]

Actually a 14% jump over last week with no new games out and all other consoles trending down. Id say that is a good sign. If this report holds up which isnt always the case

[Concertoine]

Those Xbone numbers are not BAD, but they needed to be higher given the price drop. That's not accounting for typical vgchartz shenanigans.

I find it strange that the week after the price drop more xbox ones were sold than the week where the price drop debuted.

[randomass171]

That's an interesting observation. Makes me wish we had day by day sales figures. You know how Mario Kart sold like gangbusters in its first weekend? I'd like to see on which particular day it sold the most.

[Sayburr]

Wow, look at the difference between PS4 and XBO in Watchdogs sales... PS4 sold over twice as many copies.

Even last gen has more copies going to Sony than Microsoft, whereas the "normal" last gen was Microsoft selling more than Sony.

This shift will make more and more companies making the PS4 the primary development system, mostly opposite from Last Gen.

[mhunterjr]

Well, Sony had a marketing deal in place for this games, so no surprises there...

[Sayburr]

Ahhh, I didn't think about that...

[TheFallenAngel]

They also have been lowering ps4's global sales. It's been selling on average 100k a week yet it's been at 8.2million for the past 2 months.

[SpinalRemains138]

You caught that too?

Lol. He did the same thing last Gen. He had 360 ahead of PS3 by 2 million for 6 years. It might still be like that now.

[Underworld]

It hasn't been two months but it has been stuck at around that number for a few weeks now. VGC isn't perfect but I think they're pretty close most times though.

[n4rc]

Hard to tell with digital sales not included.. Perhaps more Xbox owners buy digital vs ps4? I know I did but that would be hard to tell without info from ms/sony

[Yetter]

Im an XB1 owner and I buy all digital games. I know I'm not alone

[Sayburr]

Yeah, all of my games are digital... I just don't have that many at the moment, but Watch Dogs is one of them.

[Half_Minute_Hero]

Well...doesn't the PS4 have almost twice as many consoles sold?? So.............by powers of deduction.....

[Axios2]

Well done

Looks like X1 has around 75% of PS4 sales utilizing less than 20% of PS4 Countries (72 Countries vs 13)

@ Silenttroll, why would they do that when last gen they only represented 65 - 70%?

@ Randomass171, you'll have to excuse the haters, the fact that the X1 is doing better than the 360, and that the X1 is only in 13 Countries vs the 360's 40+, really, really bothers them, lol.

Silenttroll, 44m in NA, almost 9 in UK, 1.7 in Japan, Germany/France less than 7m that's 61m, almost 25m short, or 30%

@ Jmac53, I agree, it will still hold a much larger percentage of the fanbase given the number of Countries it's in.

[SilentNegotiator]

Those 13 countries will probably represent 90-95% of Xbone's sales.
Give up the tired countries excuse already.

You know that they won't be able to deter their own sales by announcing a new cheaper SKU a month previous and then get a boost every week, right? They probably won't be selling 75% of Ps4 in those regions very often.

And you're certainly in no position to call anyone a troll.

[troylazlow]

it's almost 6x more countries.

Also the X1 is up 71% in Global sales since the new Xbox went on sale.

[iDadio]

Spin it troy spin it

[ziggurcat]

@ troy:

irrelevant - in the countries that both systems are available, PS4 is outselling xbox.

[SilentNegotiator]

http://www.vgchartz.com/ana...
(Yeah, yeah, whine about it being VGChartz, but they just steal the official numbers for totals in the long run anyway)

Xbox 360 only sold ~8.5m (Gee, that's about 10%) outside of NA, Japan, and EU. Granted, Xbone has a few more EU regions to launch in, but they're already in their biggest regions, which are their biggest by a mile.

[jmac53]

Sorry to tell you but the X1 releasing in the rest of the countries is not going to change things. At that point I guess you will have to find another excuse.

[corvusmd]

VGCHartz....nuff said...but being as it's all we have to go on for the moment....based on this RUMOR (and how much VGChartz was fact last time):

Nice there's starting to be more competition again. MS is doing well in the territories that it's in, it's weak spots are in Europe and Japan still...where it has little to no presence. Releasing in more of those countries won't instantly close the gap or anything, but not being there for 8 months and counting, plus being at $100 more for those 7-8 months....the competition is much closer than it appears at first glance....more to the point....look how well the X1 version (alone) of Titanfall is STILL doing. ...and you can't even throw around the "it's the only game to get" excuse, because X1 still has a higher games attach rate than any other new gen console at the moment. I actually just started paying it again after the latest update...I almost forgot how much I love that game (esp now that I don't have to do the Gooser challenge the hard way anymore...I got my Goose emblem).

It's still a long gen, but if these numbers are any indication whatsoever...it's about to get real competitive in this b...which is only great news for gamers.

[BlackTar187]

You're seriously looking at Xbox in regions that hold like stated above 90%-95% of the systems sold last gen.

Adding 5%-10% is nothing like Axio, Georgenoob and POG pretend it to be.

@Edit.

I can think of zero reasoning behind disagreeing with fact.

Also how amazing can a game be that you've already stopped playing and forgot about until you played it again even though the game is less then 1/2 a year old?

How amazing can it be?

[user7402931]

ps4 is killin it

[RichardDawkins]

Those numbers hold no indication whatsoever. It's VG.

[objectivePSfan]

why is vgchartz still posted on this site? They've proven time and time again that their numbers are 100% made up.

[60FramesPerSecond]

why do gamers care so much about sales? really? if xb1 was selling amazingly, why should we care? unless one system is selling horibly and will affect games, its all good

[fonger08]

Summer boredom? I love these articles, everyone becomes an expert on statistics. It's entertaining and a good break from my job... staring at actual statistics.

[drjonesjnr]

I think someone is a little butt hurt that no matter what Microsoft do they just can't catch up to Sony lmao

[60FramesPerSecond]

yes. because i care so much about sales for the xb1, which i dont own

[MysticStrummer]

The sales fixation, and the pixel fixation for that matter, both started last generation. Back then those subjects were fun to talk about, but now… not so much, for some odd reason.

[Flutterby]

Yeh I can't put my finger on it but it might be because ps4 is ahead in every category and stuff lol. It's almost like the xbone fans don't like taking what they gave, some even flat out deny it , though all it takes is 5 mins to bring up thread after thread of how much better the 360 is because it gets an extra 4fps in COD, yet they see to all pretend it started this gen.

[uth11]

Because the best selling system can look forward to the most support, and forward momentum, in theory.

Plus there's a psychological effect of being on the winning team

[60FramesPerSecond]

yeah. i guess so. i dont really care who wins much though. i want an xb1 this year for excluisves, but ps4 deserves to win sales. plus morpheus needs a massive user base

[tgunzz]

@uth11, so what team are those on that own both consoles/

[Half_Minute_Hero]

Winning team, huh? That's the pathetic part. That sony fantrolls act like they are in the sales olympics witht heir country on the line or something...

[uth11]

@tgunzz - no team, because they typically don't have a stake in one winning.

@Half_Minute_Hero - the dynamics at work are really no different than with sports fans or politics.

[Metallox]

Good sales = more games. Look at Wii U for example. Software sales are not good, third party companies pass publishing games for the console, that's understandable. But now look at XONE and PS4 sales, they are at least selling decently, which is enough to get more games, so this discussion of "which console is selling better" it's extremely pointless for me, they are all selling enough after all.

[n4rc]

Its so true.. Its like calling apple a failure since they are 2nd in computer and phone sales..

If you rake it 10 billion, it doesn't make you a failure if someone else makes 11 billion.

[kenshiro100]

You seem to care, since you're here.

[drjonesjnr]

Wow the ps4 is still killing it. And look at software sales more or less double than they are on xbone.
so the kinectless xbone didn't make much difference then.
well done Sony well deserved.
better look next gen Microsoft

[henriquecopes]

More let the facts, in this xone 13países ps4 and 40, are 27 more markets, it does count

[Flutterby]

What does that sentence even mean?

[Spotie]

Make sure you say, "But this is VGChartz, and they're not really reliable," or the Xbox fanboys will think you only complain about the site when the PS4 isn't winning on a given chart.

I really don't understand, though. Seriously, the ONLY people that ever thought that way were Xbox fans, and that was for most of last gen. Everybody else routinely pointed out how the site undertracked the PS3 and overtracked the 360.

That hasn't changed. In fact, users frequently call for the site to be banned from submission here on N4G because of its inaccuracy, which is something that didn't happen as much- if at all- last generation. There is no one with a shred of sense who treats this site as if their numbers are exact.

That said, that doesn't mean we can't use VGChartz to get an estimate of what these consoles are doing, sales-wise. All it takes is keeping in mind their historical accuracy- or lack thereof- and biases.

Which, really, is what everybody with good sense does, anyway.

No need to complain about how the site is wrong every time; we all know that. Vote it down and move on, if you don't want to see it here. Other people wanna talk about the numbers, accurate or not. If you're really that disinterested, don't even bother clicking on the article in the first place, and then you won't be affected by the fake numbers.

There's also no need to try and point out Sony hypocrites because, well, there aren't any, in regards to this site. Even the worst Sony fanboy knows not to believe in the numbers. Therefore, every comment made is based on the "If X, then Y" model that says, "If these numbers are true, then..."

Right now, if these numbers are true, then dropping the Kinect hasn't done nearly what it should have. And that's a bad sign. It doesn't spell doom, but it DOES hint that the XB1 will have a ridiculously hard time bridging the gap between itself and the PS4. After all, it still needs to surpass the Wii U.

And even that system seems to be having trouble as, if these numbers are to be believed, Mario Kart's effect is already wearing off some. Frankly, I don't think the other titles- barring some out-of-left-field surprise- are gonna be able to do what MK8 could do.

That doesn't mean either of these two systems will fail, or that they won't have any games that appeal to people. But I DO think it's unlikely that, at the current rate, either will be able to catch the PS4.

@maniac: Prove it. Any of what you just said. Prove I'm the biggest hypocrite. Prove I was moving goalposts. Prove that I've called the VGChartz owner a rabid Xbox fanboy. Prove that I'm wrong about that. Prove that I said every year would be Sony's year. Prove that any of those years wasn't.

You talk lots and lots of shit with NOTHING to back it up. Stop following me around saying nothing worth reading, especially if all you've got is your own biased bullshit to spread.

Is VGChartz reliable? No.
Have most Sony fans believed in the numbers? No.
Was the site owner banned from NeoGAF for his biased, faked numbers? Yes.

The saddest part is that your strongest argument is about me having a previous account. So? Did I hide it? I still post the same factual comments you and other Xbox fanboy trolls can't stand.

Go ahead, prove anything you've said with links. Prove anything I've said wrong right now. If you can't do that, shut up and leave me the hell alone. Nobody wants notifications that some ignorant fanboy keeps responding with comments that aren't even relevant.

[jmac53]

Exactly, there are statistics and then there are damn lies. You need to interpret the numbers based on bias/inaccuracies.

[maniacmayhem]

"There's also no need to try and point out Sony hypocrites because, well, there aren't any, in regards to this site."

I just seriously fell on the ground laughing when I read this part. Especially when you where just exposed not long ago of being the biggest sony hypocrite, not to mention how you were routinely caught moving goal posts when you were using your Hicken account.

I also remember you saying that VGChartz was created by a known rabid xbox fanboy and it is not to be trusted at all because they always and only overtrack the xbox. Another convenient excuse you and others used to downplay the 360's success. You all used it so much that you can't go back on it and have to still bring it up even when the PS4 is clearly winning.

I love how you are so concerned with the X1 sales especially when last gen you spent every year saying that this would be the year Sony closes the gap or saying play games, not sales.

[Flutterby]

How do you have any bubbles at all maniacmayhem, all you seem to do is stalk people you suspect are Sony fanboys and try to catch them out , but little do you know all you do is show everyone you are one of the fanboys needing to be called out. Try adding something for a change rather than going on a crusade for justice to xbone fantards everywhere.

[Illusive_Man]

The PS4 base is nearly double the X1 base, it should be nearly doubled in software sales.

[Geekman]

Every time these charts pop up I shake my head at the people buying an original Wii.

[Half_Minute_Hero]

And me at those buying a PSP.

[RoboticusRex]

Is that right? I thought xboxone and ps4 were closer in sales. But that's almost 2:1

[Ninver]

don't forget the x1 sales are most certainly inflated. the gap is alot wider.

[Ninver]

ps4 is at the helm. true gamers should own a ps4. keep up the good sales sony. to my fellow gamers, let's support consumer satisfaction for the remainder of this gen.

[Gunners14]

its not up to you to declare what makes a gamer a true gamer you fool....

a true gamer loves games end of no matter which console they have

[Ninver]

why the butt hurt tho? FACT: a true gamer plays on a sony console with the most GOTY awarded games in the history of the industry.

[Flutterby]

A gamer to me is someone who wants games to be the best they can be on any given device , a gamer imo doesn't support a company that tries to ruin gaming for everyone ,a gamer should stand up to bad companies trying to destroy what we love, anyone buying an xbone, that knew what MS tried to pull should not be classed as a gamer they should be classed as a fool. I can understand uninformed people buying one because they probably loved the 360, but if you knew what they tried you should say no to them.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Glad to see the wii u selling this much per week now, instead of per every two weeks/ per month.

[AD705]

For the love of god can we please stop bringing up VGCHARTZ? It's a website that makes up bullshit estimates that end up getting disproven the moment a legit sales chart comes out.

[dantesparda]

I think N4G has a deal with them or something. So no matter how much people want it off, it just wont happen

[Father__Merrin]

I thought xbox1 will beat ps4 to smithereens once price cut is in effect?

first wait till titanfall, then wait till e3, then wait till price drop, next is wait till direct X 12

Microsoft needs to do something fast

[Ninver]

don't forget wait for GC14

wait for TGS14

etc etc

lmao

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

@Ninver TGS? LOL that made me laugh :)

[Back-to-Back]

This will be the bots next go-to excuse

"Just wait till halo 5 launches"

[Rob_Ko]

why so many people still buy last gen consoles?
ffs people don't hold back gaming

[Sayburr]

My oldest daughter just bought a 360 for her daughters. They are cheap and so are the games. Plus, there is one heck of a catalog (in addition to all of the games I don't play anymore for free, and the free Kinect).

Casual gamers enjoy last gen...

[MysticStrummer]

Because they're cheaper?

It's not hard to figure out.

[Gunners14]

Wii u has the best exclusives so far yet its not selling..

Nintendo always lag a generation behind and unless they get 3rd parties and the ps4/x1 multiplats on board they will always be behind in terms of library of games just like the wii and gamecube were..

Weekly sales down for every console except the Xbox One and Xbox 360. Interesting.

[JeffGUNZ]

VGC this morning showing Xbox One was leading America this Week = VGC is flawed and skewed. They favor MS. http://n4g.com/news/1541388...

VGC showing PS4 ahead wordwide and hardly any mention of skewed results and everyone praising Sony.

It's fine to favor one console over another, but how about we try and stop the double standards?

"Those Xbone numbers are not BAD, but they needed to be higher given the price drop. That's not accounting for typical vgchartz shenanigans"
"It's been selling on average 100k a week yet it's been at 8.2million for the past 2 months"
"don't forget the x1 sales are most certainly inflated. the gap is alot wider."
"This site is pathetic. Ps4 has outsold X1 every single week this year and somehow the sales gap got narrower"

^^^
From THIS comment section. And if this idea really flew over your head; maybe people have less reason to complain about a skewing when it doesn't have as much of an effect on the results? A skew resulting in a tiny lead is worth more of a mention than a skew that still leads to a considerable gap.

Um...it doesn't matter if this is VG Chartz or not. Microsoft's price-cut isn't working.

And no one was really praising the numbers because everyone knows the numbers are fake anyway.

This site is pathetic. Ps4 has outsold X1 every single week this year and somehow the sales gap got narrower. Same with last gen, the ps3 sales lead was nearly 2 million less than a year ago and has outsold it every week since but yet somehow the overall sales are at an even tie now. Either their in Microsoft's wallet or these idiots can't use a calculator

[Halcyon14]

So if the X1 were to actually outsell the PS4 I imagine you would be awfully depressed.

Here's a shocker... I actually like my XB1 better than my PS4. Yet I buy PS4 game versions over the XB1 versions, typically, because the rez is higher, and the framerate is the same. I buy XB1 if they're equal or better there, though -- the controller and feel of the system is just better. Sadly, this mostly amounts to crossplat indie games, and only a few big titles.

I think a lot of gamers feel the same. XB1 is quieter, the controller is my favorite controller of all time (2nd fav being DS3), the online service is better... but MS will likely never overcome the rez gap -- thus enlightened gamers will favor the PS4 when all things are equal, outside of rez. That's gonna happen. It just is.

MS needs some rockin' games to make their console the preferred device. Without it, they are just never gonna catch up. I actually hope they do it -- mostly because the more fierce the competition.. the better for me, as a gamer.

With regards to this week.. good job MS. Keep it fierce.

Looks like the $399 SKU really helped since X1 beat PS4 in the USA.

[plasticidolatry]

PS4 was announced 7 million as of April 6 2014. It's now July 1 2014, nearly 3 months later. Assuming PS4 sold 400-500k each month, it's about 8.2-8.5 million right now.

As usual, VGChartz is likely undertracking PS4 by about 100k.

[sadfeet]

Fake numbers. Get over it.

[wodan]

MS have been silent about the Xbone sales we all know why.

[Goku781]

Yeah, they are falling back like the Decepticons trying to live to fight another day.

[vivid83]

haha comment of the day

[sk8ofmnd]

This is for all the fanboys saying ps4 gamers dont buy games! Ahhh ha take that!!

[Spookshow]

Wow! I can't believe people actually play those UFC games... or is it because their new consoles got nothing compelling to play other than some games also available on last gen consoles but with better textures?

[LOL_WUT]

It's called variety and choice and it all stems from a combination of great 1st/3rd party games something you wouldn't know. ;)

[Spookshow]

I just didn't realize there was such a big audience for those games, no need to lose it.

PS4/XBone not having any killer games out (that can't be played on PS3/X360) is fact to me.

[sk8ofmnd]

Lol pretty much dood. 7 or 9 million sold. I guess I good portion of those are either ufc fans or kids that are gonna grow up to be ass kickers. Like the t shirts that say what ive learned from gaming... these little dudes are learning how to make that ass tap out!

[urwifeminder]

Glad Ms and ninty are getting some world love they deserve it great games out atm.

[Emanno]

It's the Vita that really needs boosting on sales.

[Letthewookiewin]

X1 keeps falling behind even though people can obtain it cheaper though not at a value. Everyone constantly bashes VGcharts but they have been really close the last several months.

[Flames76]

Wow the PS4 in 57 countrys sold 96,000 and the X1 in 13 countrys sold 71,000.Thats crazy damn fine job microsoft thats just insane.Glad to see second week in a row the X1 outsold the PS4 in america looks like the Xbox took back its throne

[btk]

Uhmmm... No
Just VGC fake numbers... like the March, April XBone "outselling" the PS4.
And what's up with the # of countries theory? The rest is miniscule ito sales.

[Revengeance]

PS4 on top as usual. The XB1 even with the dis-Kinected SKU will be left behind in the dust.

All the gamers are flocking to the PS4, because it has better tech AND better games.

[S2Killinit]

I love how on VGCharts, no matter how good Playstation does, it never gets a positive trend. the trend is always negative, irrespective of how much more than last month they sold. lol
