They overtook the Wii U already in the UK.

Curious software sales though.

Edit: I know its VG but its still interesting to see the numbers.

TomShoe3811d ago (Edited 3811d ago )

I can already tell people are going to come into this article, trying to spin these numbers in their favor.

PS4 Fans: "PS4 is winning in Xbox One land! More like Xbox DONE."

Xbox Fans: "Xbox is closer than you thought and because Microsoft has more supply they're going to overtake Sony. Sony stretched too thin."

This isn't my opinion, this is just what I've seen from other threads when it comes to numbers coming out. This is also VG, so always take these numbers with a grain of salt.

G20WLY3811d ago (Edited 3811d ago )

True, but what do Nintendo fans say, Tom?

To me these figures (forgetting their questionable accuracy due to the source) show a thriving games industry in the UK. :)

JokesOnYou3811d ago (Edited 3811d ago )

Nah, what I've heard for weeks now is you cannot find ps4 anywhere, clearly you can although it's limited even more so than the X1 here in the states if online retail is the example....while understanding without allocations of known quantities we can't make hard judgements since again using Amazon for example a sellout of 40-50 in a few hours isn't better than a sellout of 200 in a day especially if the 40-50 resupply isn't for a few days.

Either way sales look great for both IF vgchartz is close something I of course have said would be the case regardless of how crazy some have said I was for even thinking it....seems even the post E3 doubters are generally taken a step back from their wild claims, lol reality is nice.

Eonjay3811d ago (Edited 3811d ago )

Wii U sales are not overlooked. It only sold 6,887 units this sample week. The lifetime sales are in fact the lifetime sales. Yes, PS4 and Xbox One have already passed lifetime sales of Wii U in the UK. The are on track to do the same thing in the US within a couple of months.

Software sales include FiFA 2014 which was packaged in with Xbox One consoles.

abzdine3811d ago

interesting numbers, just hoped PS4 wasn'r out of stock immediately.

Smoey3811d ago

IF Sony manage to keep a steady flow of PS4's into the UK then they will maintain dominance (this time round).

wiiuniverse3811d ago

ouch, mario dropped exponentially.

shivvy243811d ago

Got to play multiplayer today, damn its really up there with the big names

DragonPs43811d ago

Killzone is a big name, usually does just about as good as battlefield numbers on playstation. Even better at times.

johndoe112113811d ago

Yes it is and it really disturbs me how the multiplayer is overlooked by the review sites. I was a major cod player before I played the shadowfall mp. I haven't looked at ghosts since.

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.

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

Vengeance1138189d ago

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

Cacabunga189d ago

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

189d ago
Notellin188d ago (Edited 188d ago )

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

Rimeskeem189d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos189d ago (Edited 189d 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.

1Victor189d 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.

ChasterMies188d ago

“Sadly”?

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

Shane Kim188d ago

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

Mr_cheese188d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto188d ago

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

GoodGuy09189d 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.

Flawlessmic189d 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.

blackbeld189d 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.

Rynxie189d 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.

Lightning77189d ago

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

Sharky231188d ago

@Lightning77

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

thorstein189d 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_Bomb189d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

LiViNgLeGaCY188d ago

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.

1Victor379d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar379d ago

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

jznrpg379d ago

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

badz149379d 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!

Vengeance1138379d 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 Kim379d ago

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

VersusDMC379d 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?

Vengeance1138379d ago

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

solideagle379d 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.

Phoenix76379d 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

REDGUM379d ago

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

thesoftware730379d ago (Edited 379d 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.

blacktiger379d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca379d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal379d ago

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

Imalwaysright379d ago

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

Wow, crazy isn't it? The draw distance is vastly improved, the background textures too and there's ZERO shimmer now. And the replays are night and day!

EIDT: @below, Haha I didn't notice that!

IRetrouk457d ago

Yeah, theres a massive improvment all round, Looks amazing with the time of day transitions too, me and a couple online buddies jumped on earlier to try it out lol, did you notice the beach full of seals?

closed_account456d ago

That coastline looks amazing and I can only imagine it in VR! Looks like an entirely new course as far as scenery goes.

IRetrouk456d ago

Yeah, those views are going to be crazy when we are "there" can't wait!

PureBlood456d ago

Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol

GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!

Deathdeliverer456d ago

I got my confirmation and date (22nd) showing for the charging station. The headset itself has been in “shipped-processing” status since last Friday. I’m like dang can I see the date? I was in the first round of preorders. Whenever it does get here, I’m ready. Going to go update everything and try to get over this cold.

PureBlood456d ago

Wish you better, bud, fingers crossed for your order too.

@S2Killinit - Thank you!

IRetrouk456d ago

I care👊🏻, mine is still saying prep for shipping😔

PureBlood456d ago

Thanks man 👊

Word of advice: be ready for the impromptu jig that happens when that email drops, it can be embarrassing..

DaReapa456d ago

Just got my second shipping confirmation email as well.

S2Killinit456d ago

Man i caant wait. One day left!

Flawlessmic456d ago

I know you and a lot of people are excited for VR but dont sleep on sophy, sophy is the real game changer here!

After giving sophy a run last night, i can safely say the actual racing in future GT's is going to be Fu***** amazing!!!

even on intermediate on some tracks the AI was coming back at me on my waiting for me to slip, attacking the space if i left the door open for them, honestly felt like i was racing against people and not some very limited AI that once i passed them they may as well have been eliminated from the race like GT ai normally is.

pump it up to expert and its a real challenge to stay ahead, the next level up from expert man the AI kicked my ass, like badly.

i remember when sophy was first annouced all the nay sayers said its a pipe dream and we will never see it implemented and here we are a yr later and sophy is being tested in game for us to try out and is every good as whats been promised.

VR plus racing against sophy and wowww your not gonna feal like your actually racing for real anywhere else outside of gt.

sophy will change the game in gt8

S2Killinit456d ago

Hm I didnt realize it was like that. I didnt even know why there was so much hype about it. But thanknyou for explaining that. I mean I get it now.

But I’ll be seeing it in action tomorrow! Woot woot.

Flawlessmic456d ago

It's only for a limited time and only has 4 races but I encourage you and everyone else try it and see the difference compared to the normal Ai.

Sophy has slipped completely under the radar in this latest uodate
