Aight Titanfall

You did your job

Please, if your gonna complain about this being from Vgchartz.... Save your bubble... We get it, that's why it's under rumor

[christocolus]

Great numbers over all...I think the xbox one hardware sales should be like 4.2 million now and with the launch of Kinect sports rivals i expect a slight increase in hardware sales.

[aceitman]

@christocolus , this is the latest from vg on
XOne 155,106 (+108%)
total sales to date 3,908,818 click the link above it will show you , at the mid section of the page on the right side.

[christocolus]

@aceitman

And your point is?..Its been 10 days since this was compiled.it clearly says week ending 15th..did you even read it or are you just downplaying this like your doing in the other article about titanfall sales figures?

[aceitman]

@christocolus how am I downplaying numbers right in front of are faces , I was telling what is there u don't have to be nasty about it and say im downplaying it , im a member of vg chartz and while it is not perfect to the correct data it is very close. and bundles with games digital or not count towards sales for that week. click on the link and it will show u what I posted . its a match. and so u know I know that digital sales alone are not counted on vg chartz. just bundles.i was just guiding u and replying to ur comment , I posted the story. the fanboys need to stop with the trolling and read if it is posted and im showing whats posted how am I wrong just because its not in your favor it doesn't mean that someone is trolling or downplaying something. game on try to get along theres room for all systems and gamers . and if u think that the x1 will sell 300,000 units in a week it wont happen hopefully it continues to sell well over 100,000 a week but time will tell.

[GribbleGrunger]

@christocolus: So you think MS have sold another 300,000 X1s in 10 days when you're looking at 155,106 for one week WITH a boost from Titanfall? So post Titanfall spike they sold twice as many?!

[morganfell]

Really? Here is something that isn't a rumor. It's hard cold unpleasant fact.

The PS4 has been leading the entire month at the top 4 major games retailers in the US. It has been the top seller at Gamestop, Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy SINCE MARCH 1ST. Only in the past 2 days has the Xbox moved past the PS4 and only at Best Buy. VG Chartz apparently believes Titanfall pushed the X1 past the PS4. It didn't. While it may have increased sales, it did not do so on enough scale to overtake Sony. The only territory in question is the UK. I doubt they sold enough to overtake the PS4 in the EU and the US.

[OnPCP]

People are constantly asking why does the little Xbox fan who makes up these fake sales numbers keep doing it? It should be perfectly clear why from the desperate way Xbox fans cling to these fake sales numbers.

You have Xbox fans willing clinging to the hilariously absurd idea that some kid sitting at home is doing GLOBAL RETAIL TRACKING for both hardware and software. Something that the giant for profit retail sales tracking firms are only able to do once a month and for only single regions like the US or Japan.

Doesn't matter. As long as the little kid Xbox fan at vgchartz keeps pumping out hilariously fake inflated Xbox One sales numbers, Xbox fans will cling to them.

Magic SDK updates.
Hidden graphics hardware just waiting to be unlocked in the Xbox One.
'teh Cloud'
Fake vgchartz sales numbers.

"It's true because I desperately want it to be so"

[Bernlock]

@morganfell

Where are u getting those cold hard facts about the top 4 retailers. Because last time I checked u don't have access to that info do u

[True_Samurai]

@OnPCP

Okay.... Now when the numbers are in favor of sony no one complains. But when one shows that x1 conquers ps4. Now all of a sudden the person who's doing it is a Xbox fanboy? And remember last time when the real numbers were shown it showed that both x and ps4 Were actually higher. From what I've been seeing on N4G PS fanboys cling more than x fans. Get over yourself... Just saying can't be a hypocrite about it

[refocusedman]

Why?

[morganfell]

Then you didn't check very well. The info is always there. Here:

Amazon bestsellers for all of March to date and updated hourly:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/be...

PS4 is the top seller for the month so far with 5 days to go.

Just for comparison, here are the current Amazon bestsellers updated hourly. These numbers affect the overall Monthly total listed above.

http://www.amazon.com/best-...

Walmart: Current bestsellers, updated hourly. I have checked this every day since February. The PS4 has been in number 1 and the PS3 in number 2 every day. So unless the X1 jumped into the top spot and then jumped out while I was asleep then it hasn't changed much. The highest the X1 moved was number 4.

http://www.walmart.com/sear...

Gamestop: Current Bestsellers updated hourly. I have checked this several times a day since the last week of February. The two PS4 bundles have been 1 and 2 and have not moved from those spots.

http://www.gamestop.com/bro...

Bestbuy: Current Bestsellers updated hourly. Only in the last 2 days did the X1 move from 3rd place to 1st.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site...

[Bernlock]

@morganfell

So you are basing your cold hard "facts" on what a best seller lists that u look at "several times a day" and has no actual concrete numbers. O ok that makes perfect sense

[creatchee]

@morganfell

And here is something that also isn't a rumor. It's hard cold unpleasant (at least for you) fact.

No matter how many sales links you post... no matter how many times you point out resolutions and frame rates... no matter how many times you bring up ESRAM... and certainly no matter how many times you degrade and spew your vitriol about a console that you have no interest in ever purchasing, lots of people are buying Xbox Ones. Many more people will buy Xbox Ones in the future. And most, if not all of them are enjoying and will be enjoying their purchases.

I'm sorry if this offends you, but at least you can now carry on your campaign, comfort in the knowledge that everything you say doesn't and won't change anything.

[Evilsnuggle]

Congratulations xbone fans on the most hardware sold worldwide . This is not a surprise to me . I Said repeatedly that xbone would probably out sell PS4 worldwide for 2 weeks. But I also said after Titanfall 360 is released xbone sells will tumble tumble and fall again. PS4 fans should not be surprised this is Microsoft biggest game of the year . Titanfall is the biggest xbone game until halo 5. Now the bad news Titanfall is under performing. I think that Microsoft though it would sale more x1. Than is why the titinfall 360 version delay . Now that Titanfall has launched an didn't sale a million or more xbones now what. It took xbone biggest title next to halo 5 just to barely out sell PS4 for two weeks. Titanfall is the most hyped game of next generation. Every time I look at tv, youtube and the Internet I see a titanfail advertisement. Look how much Money spent on advertising did it take for Microsoft just to barely out sell PS4 . Tons of money on advertisement Price cut, free games and free xbox live just to tie PS4. What is Microsoft going to do now . Xbone doesn’t have A system seller in site until halo 5 . PS4 is still sold out and selling like hotcake . Microsoft is in deep trouble I don't think xbone will sell 8 million in 2014 Microsoft said 10 million but if Titanfall didn't sale over a million xbone what will. It going to be a long hard time until halo 5. PS4 will sell more than 12 million in 2014 xbone won't sell 8 million. PS4 still has The Order this year for the holidays . The Order 1886 will be Sony's biggest game of the year and will sale more than Titanfall no x1. Bookmark this page

[morganfell]

I know people are buying an Xbox. It is just more people are buying PS4s. That's a cold hard fact that you can't accept.

The PS4 ios a more powerful machine. That's another hard fact you can't accept.

And as for sales, if the PS4 is being reported as leading in the EU, with the only questionable territory being the UK (And that is odd because the PS4 has easily beaten the X1 at Amazon UK), and it is repeatedly ahead in the US at the major retailers minus 2 days at one retailer, and it is running unopposed in Japan,well the math is easy at that point. So yes that is factual whether you want to accept it or not. It is fairly difficult for it to obviously lead the largest territory yet by VGChatz magic numbers it trails.

It might be unpleasant for you so just keep clinging to that VGChartz number and watch it get revised again. And again. And again.

The people that do not want to accept reality are those that can't believe Titanfall wasn't the X1 salvation they had been led to believe. That's why the 360 version was delayed. Titanfall didn't pump up the X1 sales like they hoped. Face it, when you can't knock the PS4 out of the top two slots at Gamestop on the day you launch Titanfall, then you are in real trouble.

[Boody-Bandit]

Some of you guys need to take a breath and stop and think. If MS was doing the numbers they were hoping for? Does anyone honestly think they would've reduced themselves to bundling their biggest exclusive this year, TitanFall, with the X1 and than dropping the price a week after launch of said bundle by $50 dollars?

MS, unlike vgchartz, know the real deal. Right now they are reeling and doing everything they can just trying to not let Sony get further and further away from them. That's the reality of the situation. If not we wouldn't have witnessed the fastest price drop in gaming history for a home console.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

This site is never right...ever so why keep posting this worthless spam?

[Rimfro]

@morganfell: You seriously have checked all of those sites multiple times daily, since Feb., to compare console hardware sales? You care THAT much? I can't imagine taking time out of my day just to check that. That's pretty hardcore.

[abzdine]

man only 20000 more consoles worldwide?
I expect PS4 sales to double at least with infamous and MGS release which will place it around 300000 sales if stocks allow it while x1 sales will go back to normal around 70000 worldwide this week.

[Cupid_Viper_3]

First off, let's congratulate MS on managing to edge out the PS4 for this week, on a global scale. A victory is a victory regardless of the margin really. But the Scale of this victory is what isn't ideal for Microsoft.

On that same note though, this is quite close to the scenario I had painted for EA and Microsoft, also to some of the most overzealous Xbox supporters on here (not the regular xbox fans).

Those overzealous fans were going around saying how Titanfall is a system seller, and how it is going to help the XBox One sell close to a million units and close the gap with the PS4. Now that didn`t even come close to happen. in reality, Titanfall only managed to move just 81,000 more Xbox Ones then the normal numbers at 75,000. So 108% more of 75,000 is 81,000, and you add them up and you get 156,000. Meanwhile the PS4 only sold 23,000 less units while still being hard to find.

Now please keep in mind that in Japan alone, since February 22, 2014 up to now, the PS4 has sold some 442,000 units. Now the XBox One has only sold 308,966 units WORLDWIDE since in that same time frame. 79,419 + 74,441 + 155,106 = 308,966 Xbox sold.

So please guys, please be very careful before blowing this out of proportion. PS4 Japan = 442,000 units sold Since Feb 22 vs XBox One worldwide = 309,000 units sold since Feb 22.

These numbers mean that ultimately, Titanfall did very little to help the Xbox One, and you can bet that Microsoft are disappointed. It is not the system seller they were hoping it would be. Matter of fact, I`m thinking that they`ve spent more money in Marketing and securing Titanfall than they will ever get out of the game.

[phinch]

This comment wasn't really thought through was it? at most it would be 4 million now, were your getting that extra 200k from i have no idea

[creatchee]

@morganfell

The PS4 has more hardware-related raw power than the Xbox One. I accept that, just as I have accepted it since the specs were confirmed.

The PS4 is outselling the Xbox One by a considerable margin. I accept that, just as I have since the numbers started coming in.

What I can not and will not accept is that any of those facts should affect my or anybody else's enjoyment of either system. However, there is you and people just like you out there who can't accept that and go on your holy crusades AGAINST something rather than supporting what you bought and believe in. That's not loving what you have - it's hating what you don't. And it's ridiculous.

[D-riders]

Did you say Kinect sports will boost sales. What shit you smoking

[SilentNegotiator]

A game that's supposed to "save" the Xbone and only got it a lousy 20K above Ps4 (and probably won't last a week)? A game that was supposed to be "one of the biggest of the year" barely sold a million on two platforms? A game that MS spent likely dozens of millions to secure as an exclusive only managed a million? A game that supposedly pushed a million Xbones only sold 900K of ITSELF on Xbone (and in reality, only 155K of hardware - gee, what a system seller!)? A game that they spent millions and millions on advertising (thus also buying themselves lots of good reviews, despite the awful AI, lack of modes at launch, being COD with mechs, etc)?

Great job, Microsoft!

[dantesparda]

ok so where does VGCharts even get there numbers from? Cuz i was comparing some Media Create numbers with there Japanese numbers and VGchartz numbers were lower than Media Creates for the PS4 and we all know that VG changes their numbers to match NPDs after they are published. So again where do they get their numbers from?

[LexHazard79]

aceitman,

The charts is from week ending March 15th tho. Its now March 26 so yeah Chris is right in a way! It def probably over 4mil now! I read article and came away with same conclusion on numbers. You can say samething for PS4 or any other product in the charts!

Not starting nothing but 70+ disagrees for something that is true if you thought it out before you clicked away!

[NewMonday]

fuzzy math from VGCarts

Europe+NA numbers for Titanfall=800k

where did the extra 100k come from? the XB1 is not available globally, and no way that Brazil and Australia cover it.

the same for XB1 console numbers about 30k are from supposed "global" sales when the XBi is not available.

also total XB1 numbers for Europ=950k according to VGC, and somehow Brazil and Australia= 500k

about time this site is banned, rumors have sources, VGCharts are nothing but fantasy league numbers, Mods need to act.

[TooHigh2Die]

Week ending of the 15th? So Infamous 2 isnt even factored in yet and when that happends PS4 will dominate match just like it has since launch. Xbone has no chance at this race until they drop the kinect and make a 100$ price cut end of story

[TooHigh2Die]

Week ending of the 15th? So Infamous 2 isnt even factored in yet and when that happens PS4 will dominate match just like it has since launch. Xbone has no chance at this race until they drop the kinect and make a 100$ price cut end of story

[Copen]

The info isn't hard to find IF you're really trying to quote correct up to date sales data. The Xbox One hasn't hit 4 million in sales yet. And this being VG it's not hard to believe this data isn't the most reliable source. Id be willing to bet that up to date figures show the PS4 hardware sales above the Xbox One with the latest release of Infamous SS it's moved hardware for Sony which is selling every unit it can produce anyway without a price cut and packing in the best game MS has to offer for free. They are both selling well that's not up for debate and E3 & PAX will either give MS a boost OR help Sony continue the momentum they have now.

[Copen]

Question is. Is Kinect Sports Rivals going to move consoles and are KSR & Titanfall enough to sustain them till the end of the year?

[RedDevils]

@uberpwnyexpress stop embarrassing yourself to the public man, it's really showing you have a very low IQ here

[DarthZoolu]

@morganfell LMFAO you check sales hourly?! Wtf is wrong with you hahahahahaha what a loser. While you are hitting refresh on your browser I'm playing Dead Rising, Ryse (its great fun on legendary), Project Spark, Killer Instinct, and Titanfall. Everyone of those games are hella FUN! While you play Browser Refresh Madness.

@Rimfro nice call bubble up

[GribbleGrunger]

Here are this weeks numbers:

PS4: 220,349
XB1: 112,513

And this is how you check them before they appear on the main page:

http://www.vgchartz.com/too...

[Alan_Shore]

Next time ps4 will lead the way with 2nd son.

But will interesting to see if titanfall has staying power on the charts.

Titanfall may sell 1 million+ on xbox one alone within weeks.

[Rimfro]

In all honesty, I own both Titanfall and Second Son, and they aren't really major system sellers. These titles aren't going to convince the "average joe" gamer to take the next-gen plunge. The hardware sales bumps will be more on the minor side than the average n4g'r is expecting.

Second Son is easily the most next-gen looking game, and it also feels next-gen by way of some of the unexpected Wii-esque controls. But the animation (particularly his standard jumping animation) and redundant gameplay make much of the game feel antiquated.

Titanfall doesn't really do anything that couldn't have been done on the 360 and PS3, but it is incredibly fun, with extremely well balanced gameplay.

But honestly, if I was on the fence right now, I'd wait for a different game before I'd make the leap. Halo or Uncharted. A true flagship title.

[FITgamer]

According to VGC March 22 global numbers PS4 took that week.

PS4-220,349

Xbox One-112,513

[imt558]

What job? Barely over 1 mil. PC/Xbone. Almost every Xbone fan ( including Microsoft ) expect that Xbone sales will be relaunch of Xbone. Where is it? Where is the almost 1 mil. Xbone numbers? Of course EA/MS didn't reveal sale numbers. So, insiderp's were pretty close.

[alb1899]

You want more?
XONE release is only 13 countries vs 43 of ps4 and the price my friend!

In September XONE will be in 26 more countries we will see what happen.

I thought that x1 will sell more jus in USA and UK so is a big win for x1 even next week they lost the lead.

[MasterCornholio]

@alb1899

Excuses excuses. And the results will still be the same. That is the PS4 will continue to sell more than the Xbox One.

[karl]

honestly im just not impressed by titanfall

the game barely brought the xone to ps4 kinda sales numbers

this numbers have been sustained by ps4 since launch..

this doesnt reduce the sales gap at all.. it just keeps it from growing even larger

soo now what? as always after a "system seller" is launched a few weeks later sales do go down

while ps4 will remain the same...
and the gap will just keep getting bigger

[nypifisel]

Xbox One have already been released in their strongest markets. And they lost even them. Titanfall seemed to have moved some 50.000 new Xbox Ones, which is not a lot. Hardly impressive to outsell a console which is gravely stock deprived. I'd say the end of March will be more interesting.

[ovnipc]

Ppl stop fighting! Who cares who its winning, what matters is that both do good. The more they sell both of them the more better quality games we get for both systems. Makes both companies invest more in making systems better and better games more games. This competition is getting old. We all know ps4 its on top. Both systems are doing great.

[Prime157]

On any comment site you better reword your comment to "infamous" instead instead of "titanfall" next week...

You'll be labeled a fanboy both times.

Or else your fanboy truth comes out if you don't /s

[Aceman18]

I've a question I just added US and Europe sales for TF and I get 800k+ where they getting extra 100k from?

[avengers1978]

Canda, Germany, Spain, etc... You added 2 of 13 countries the XB1 sells in.
Though I still say pretty bad numbers for a game that was so hyped by everyone, and has an 86 metacritc rating.

Plus it really didn't push nearly as many XB1 consoles as everyone thought.

[xxjabberxx]

Can avengers1978 please do a google search and tell us all what countries are in Europe. I may be wrong but I believe Spain and Germany are part of Europe.

[Aceman18]

@avengers

I believe Canada falls under NA on VGC and Germany, Spain are Europe Lol.

My question still stands where the extra for 100k come from?

[avengers1978]

@aceman, I actually did agree with your comment, I was merely saying that there are other places, Brazil, Australia.

Though you guys are right on calling me out for the Spain Germany thing. They are indeed part of Europe.

[Magicite]

Titanfall saved X720, everything else has gone down. Rough month.

[Gamer1982]

Only JUST outsold PS4 that week with titanfall launch. Whats it gonna do after the launch? It's gonna go back to the previous sales with a little boost from titanfall. Sony has infamous for the week of 21st.

[avengers1978]

Q1 almost over we should see some very accurate sales numbers in the next couple weeks, I believe both MS and SONY said 5 million units by the end of Q1... So far Sony surpassed expectations and MS is under by about a million.

[callahan09]

It says a lot that even the sales spike from the Xbox One's biggest system seller yet (and quite possibly the biggest individual system seller it's likely ever to have outside of Halo), which more than doubled the console's sales, it still only sold about the same amount as the PS4.

[Thunderhawkxbox]

If ps4 numbers was high vgchartz would be accurate but Xbox one kicking ps4 ass in 13 countries against 43 countries vgchartz numbers are fake Sony fan boys do make me laugh

[hazeblaze]

A difference of 20k is hardly an ass whooping :-/... especially if it doesn't last.

Assuming that both companies are selling every unit produced (which we know for sure Sony is, not clear whether Microsoft is)... the number of countries is irrelevant. ECON 101.

[Chevalier]

Which of those 13 are they actually beating PS4? NONE. So how will adding more countries help? They are losing in ALL their major markets and you think adding more countries will help? They're going to lose those too.

[avengers1978]

Your one bubble makes complete sense, with the crap your spewing

[hazeblaze]

I think it's enough to consider Titanfall a system seller... unfortunately, it still didn't sell enough systems.

This doesn't even begin to put a dent in the lead the PS4 has... especially if that surge in sales does not continue for the past two weeks!

[Pon4]

Aww look the Pony scrubs butthurting lmfao suck on that

[lifeisgamesok]

X1 is making a strong comeback slowly but surely

And on an interesting note... Some of the best graphics producers Epic Games are announcing new next gen games next year the same time Directx 12 will be available

What's even more interesting is that Microsoft's Lionhead studios created the Global Illumination feature for Unreal Engine 4

http://www.gamasutra.com/vi...

[DanielGearSolid]

1 step forward and 2 steps back

[cell989]

Let's not jump to conclusions too soon, let's see the numbers next week with the release of Infamous SS

[Akuma07]

Considering early reports that the PS4 enjoyed a larger increase due to Infamous than XB1 did as a result of TF. Those numbers will be very interesting.

[OnPCP]

If by 'interesting' you mean fake, then yes they are 'interesting'.

[DarkHeroZX]

OnPCP is looking butthurt lol. Well now that the TF hype is gone and the X1 has no big exclusives until September........

[imt558]

@lifegameOK

Well, you will be suprised :

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Microsoft and his DX12 and Lionhead is late to the party again. Sorry!

[kenshiro100]

A strong comeback...

-snort-

Really, please.

[Prime157]

You do know that's next year and then 8 or so months, right? That's 20 months for dx12.

I know what I'm about to say will cause a fight, but Sony's psnow and project morpheous are set to release before then of now...

...sigh, I'll be overlooked now, as an opinion.

[jessupj]

Arne't you one of the ones on here that kept yelling at sony fans to not automatically believe chartz numbers?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[GW212]

I think you'll see something similar with Infamous in the next release of numbers. That said, it's a good showing for Titanfall. I'm enjoying the game more and more as I play it. Very fun even though I still don't think I'm very good at the game.

Regarding your comments on graphics, I hope you are right that XB1 can close the gap with PS4. Right now, Infamous crushes anything on either console. If XB1 can realize that kind of graphical fidelity by next year, I'd call that a success.

What I really want is a Mass Effect game with gameplay elements from Titanfall, and RPG and graphic elements from Infamous. You listenin' Santa?

[hazeblaze]

Not really that strong of a comeback yet... even if it continued to outsell the PS4 by 20k a week for the next month... that would hardly put a dent in the gap they have.

The bigger issue is that they are not likely to continue outselling the PS4 much, if at all since we already heard reports that the PS4 boost for inFamous was larger than the Xbox's.

[Fireseed]

And yet I'm not having anymore fun with my X1 knowing this...
I love my Xbox but seriously, knowing that more people bought an X1 this week than a PS4 doesn't impact enjoyment at all.

What is everyone's fascination with these numbers?

[DanielGearSolid]

To each his own

[LackaJaKane]

@Fireseed

Competition

Team Sony vs Team Micosoft

Any advantage one has over the other is "Fascinating"

Not sure if your question was rhetorical, or if you were actually looking for an answer..... hopefully you were looking for an answer

[cyclindk]

Does anyone else find all these comments and responses to each other more interesting than these possible sales figures? An examination of human social interaction, if N4G indigenous inhabitants may be called "humans?"

[Prime157]

I do, cyc, especially after reflecting on my participation in them the last few months...

Edit: in all honesty, it has helped me grow... a lot. In the long run, I've grown tired of the ignorance and hate. I've grown to hate my own fandom, whether it is Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, or steam... yes, I hate Microsoft, but I can understand why someone else might love them like I do steam or ps...

[weekev15]

The only reason I check these numbers on occasion is because im a WiiU owner and I really want it to start doing well soon to give publishers a reason to release their games on the console. Think ill stop checking cos it just makes me depressed.

[Priestwithgun]

that's too smart for people who give death and cancer curses to people

[liquidhalos]

Im willing to bet most of these people who bash on about numbers in the rudest way possible arent even on current gen hardware yet. I guess they feel that being rude to gamers on N4G about their preferred hardware is almost as good as actually owning it. Just click ignore on them as they post and your left with a rather clean looking friendly N4g

[ArbitorChief]

XB1 outsold the PS4 this week...
*Grabs Popcorn*

[Ninver]

the few thousands sold will be nullified with ps4 back in stock and I:SS sales lol

[ArbitorChief]

LOL the PS4 out of stock excuse. I've seen PS4s everywhere, there not hard to find at all anymore.

[ltachiUchiha]

ArbitorChief

Well u guys keep saying the XB1 is $100 more as an excuse. U same ppl did not care about the ps3 being $200 more then the 360 when it launched & were claiming victory despite the ps3 surpassing 360 sales lol. So now u want to act as if the ps4 isn't at high demand when it continues to sell out in most of the world. Next u will say bu bu but MS has only been out in a few parts in the world, like its sony's fault that ms cant launch everywhere lol. Come on mate, make up your minds lol.

[H0RSE]

@ltachiUchiha

"Well u guys keep saying the XB1 is $100 more as an excuse."

- The difference between the "PS4 sold out excuse," and the "X1 is $100 more expensive excuse," is that the X1 is factually more expensive than the PS4, regardless where you shop, whereas the PS4 being sold out is not an absolute - some places have it, some places don't, but at all the those places, the X1 is still more expensive.

And he never denied that the PS4 wasn't in high demand, only that it isn't sold out everywhere.

I always go out to eat with my wife on the weekends, and while I'm out, I check Best Buy and Target to see how valid the "sold out everywhere" claim is. For 3 of the past 4 weekends I've gone out, I could have purchased a PS4. And I live in the Philadelphia area, so it's not like I'm out in the sticks where people don't exist...

[nypifisel]

@H0RSE

You can't apply that to the whole market. Where I live it haven't been back in stock since November so, yeah, that's that.

[Illusive_Man]

Playstation 4 has been in Stock on amazon for nearly a month.

[DarkHeroZX]

Arbitor tell that to all the people here in CT still looking for one lol. While I think its getting easier to find I still don't think they are as easy as the X1.

[Dannyh]

I live in Waterbury ct,and you can find ps4 no problem

[mkis007]

Hint...if you want an xbox one go to any costco... I know for a fact that every single store in the Los angeles district(over 45+ stores) has at least 50... they have been 479.99 since we got them, and they now come with forza 5.

Ps4's only come in shipments of 66 and only 4 stores in the district get them. Not exactly as easy to find.

[Majin-vegeta]

*LOL the PS4 out of stock excuse. I've seen PS4s everywhere, there not hard to find at all anymore.

Funny how everyone who says this never ever mentions where and what place.So how about letting the tongue slip so some people can get one who still need it??

[ArbitorChief]

EBGAMES North Sydney, Sydney, Australia there was a sign at the front of the store stating, PS4s are in stock. It was like they were desperate to sell them, now go get them.

[ltachiUchiha]

ArbitorChief

Here in my area u can find XB1's everywhere but ps4's are hard to find. I live in the bay area in California.

[kenshiro100]

@ArbitorChief

Uh..no they're not.

[tuglu_pati]

@Majin-vegeta

PS4 has been available at amazon for the past three days or so.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

[CernaML]

@Itachi

Same here. Went to two different Best Buys in the same day while looking for Ground Zeroes and didn't see any PS4s on the shelf. Unless they hide them in the back or something.

San Fernando Valley

[Flutterby]

@arbitor

Eb have those signs because they rarely have them anymore so when they have them they use a big red sign saying they are in Stock and I can bet you there is a smaller one near it saying limited stock get them fast. You wanna know why I know that ? I work at eb games.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

They just came in stock the week of the 15, maybe to offset XBox One sales due to Titanfall, but certainly to have stock for those of us who want to play inFamous. There were hard to come by in the weeks before. No one had them in Indy.

[Jazz4108]

Gamestop and bestbuy in las vegas both have ps4s in stock. I picked up infamous ss at target in henderson this week and they have ps4s and no xboxones. So take it as you may.

[Prime157]

Grabbing popcorn is so yesterday, you aren't even first post.

[JackVagina]

@ArbitorChief
XB1 outsells PS4 on titanfall week?

Shocker.

[Gamer1982]

1 week (just) with possibly xboxs biggest game of the year? What about the weeks after that when things go back to normal sales wise? You really think they will stay this high? Not a prayer. Week of 21st will be Sonys big game of the season and blow Xbox out the water.. We should compare the week of 21st for Sony to the week of 15th to MS.. Also you got a lot of unsold Xboxes when titanfall came out to shift so that really helped sales..

[Jazz4108]

I believe I read the one outsold ps4 in the uk fo four weeks straight as well. Not that it matters just play the damn games and not the systems as this is old as can be every gen it happens..

[0neShot]

Arbitor simply stated a fact and so many disagrees, you really can tell how blind and unfair the PS4 community is.

[Chevalier]

He's also twisting things. I work at EB and the ONLY time we've had signs for in stock items are the ones that sell out or rarely show up. Our PS4's sell out the day we get them Xbox Ones we've been sold out only once or twice and only when it launched. We all have Xbox Stock kicking around in our stock rooms and will go unsold for months. Only reason we even sold the couple Xbox One standard was because Titanfall bundle was sold out. If you guys think these sales for Xbox One will continue you will be disappointed.

[Datruth187]

Good Job MS & TF well deserved.

[Muerte2494]

Lmao this is VGChartz. I'll wait on something a little more official

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Tbh as much hype and marketing Microsoft put behind Titansfall that's hardly a "system
Seller" or big bombshell as it was made out to be.

Congratz for doing good this time around tho

[Longshot28]

And it only took them a bundle, and two price drops to do it... LOL

[MatriXcian]

Yet Sony still sits comfortably ahead with nearly 7 million sold while Microsoft is still behind the Wii U in total sales. Titanfall really doesnt seem to be the "system seller" it was touted as. A small bump in sales yes but as big as portrayed a huge hell no!

[medziarz]

enjoy your week, Xbox loyalists! ;)

[_FantasmA_]

Awesome. Mico$oft just went from being in third place, to being in third place. If they keep this up, they will surely win third place...again.

[Hicken]

Wait, I don't see any of the usual suspects complaining about people taking these numbers seriously.

Really, though, it's not all that surprising. The question is how long this'll last. With inFamous being out so soon, I'm guessing not very long.

[KakashiHotake]

It's like they say, it's a marathon not a sprint.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Microsoft has never been a marathon runner though, they only had a lead on ps3 but lost that and they have only been behind.

You can't start behind against sony

[DanielGearSolid]

Oh please....

Sony's been saying that since September

http://www.gamespot.com/art...

In fact they been saying it since 2008 with the Ps3

http://www.qj.net/qjnet/pla...

Now MS says it and you agree?

[choujij]

When do you think they will catch up to Wii-U in this "marathon"?

[No_Limit]

Congrat MS and XB1. You guys did great and Titanfall is a beast!!! PS4 not too far behind and also did good. Loving both of my consoles. inFamous should give PS4 a boost this week as well as the $50 price drop effect on the XB1.

XOne 155,106 (+108%), dang, that is impressive!!!

[choujij]

When you really think about it, is it really impressive that Xbone sold 155k when PS4 the previous weeks were selling 155k, and with no big game releases? Especially without one of the magnitude and hype as Titanfall?

IMO, I find it to be quite under-performing all things considered (including the fact the Xbone isn't facing supply constraints). I also think that's the reason for the bundle price drop and delay for the 360 release.

[Speak_da_Truth]

i guess the price cut including titanfall did it for ms but I:SS not included for free and no ps4 price cut sales are coming nextweek then we'll see but kudos Ms

[SlyFamousthe3rd]

Im impressed with the PS4, it managed to stay right up there with the Xbone despite TF being released. It must be worrying for MS to know that with all the hype around TF they only just manged to outsell the PS4. When the numbers for I:SS is released the Juggernaut that is the PS4 will be flexing its muscles.

[T2]

Another week another downvote for lolchartz... Global retail tracking! Lol
Wait for npd

[Hicken]

... but NPD doesn't give global numbers.

Which is why VGChartz' rather poor estimations are what we all use.

If there were another source, then it'd be used. I don't understand why this keeps being brought up. Most sensible people don't take this site for anything more than what it is.

[T2]

No vgchartz is not "what we all use" ... I came here for a laugh. Sony gives their own numbers, NPD gives North America, worldwide can be extrapolated through a variety of these numbers ..
This guy is a fraud, a fake, he has been exposed and proven to be a fraud. to even discuss these numbers is hilarious.

why not just make your own site? Sony self reported numbers / number of weeks on the markets = some ballpark sony sales.
MS - NPD plus made up sales + 20% fanboy bonus = worldwide MS sales.
really not that difficult. the guy isn't even close unless sales are steady or sony and ms gives out actual numbers.

[DoesUs]

Oh VGCharts! The real numbers will be revealed soon ;)

[T2]

one disagree haha , hmmm... either someone lives under a rock or is a member of vgshartz

[Ank666]

Lol

PS4 stocks were tightly held for Infamous SS release
Let the week ending 22 come

That'll tell the real story

[Cupid_Viper_3]

The thing is, we will have to wait for the week ending 29 of March, because the one for 22nd will only have one day of Infamous sales data. inFamous released on the 21st of March.

So it will be week ending 22nd and 29th combine that will give you a good picture of how infamous performed.

[H0RSE]

"That'll tell the real story"

- No, that will just tell the story of a different week...then they'll be another story after that, and so on....

[Father__Merrin]

game of generation and only 23k more?

[Dannyh]

To be fair ps4 is in 52 territorys compared to 13 for Xbox one so if number are true it would be impressive

[Chevalier]

Which of those countries is MS beating Sony? NONE. Your delusional if you think already losing in all their main markets adding countries will close the gap.

[Dannyh]

It's not a matter of winning,have you ever seen the number of PS3 compared to Xbox 360, Sony does sell more then 360 outside of America but its not like ps3 blew away 360 in any other country besides Japan, if Xbox one where out in the same amount of places they would have sold another 1-1.5 million consoles already

[Tedakin]

These stats are 10 days old. If they're accurate I imagine the xbone version is nearly at 1 million now.

[Bundi]

And all in less than half of the global territory

[Hicken]

Here's that BS excuse again.

You see that small difference of 23,000 units? That MIGHT be the difference between what the PS4 gets in those extra countries, and what the XB1 would potentially be missing out on.

MAYBE.

Do you honestly believe that, when you say it? Or are you just trying to console yourself?

[shadyiswin]

if it was 30 countries to 43 then no,even if it was half,but come 13 countries to 52???? and it still outsold? you take away japan and it outsold it by 50,000 alone. If we could do a 13 to 13 comparison im sure the xb1 would be outselling the ps4 2:1

[Horny]

I think it's like 46 countries. 30 of those are probably bringing 2-5k a week. If you took 3 of the biggest territories for each system I still believe PS4 would outsell xb1 (except for this week of titanfall)

[Tedakin]

I love how people say VGchartz is a bunch of crap when it has numbers they don't want to be true. But the second the numbers support their on personal gaming narrative, they're the first ones to throw that VGC link up.

[jimbobbeers]

Its gospel when Sony are ahead, but when MS are ahead its fake. You Sony boys are cringeworthy.

[DigitalAnalog]

It's more embarrassing that you're presenting fake-scenarios in your head. It's a known fact that VGChartz always downplays SONY's sales. Even if SONY's numbers does surpass the MS, it's still classified as under-tracked.

[bamillington]

Is that x1 sold or shipped?

[CernaML]

VGChartz *estimates* sold to customers.

These are not official numbers.

[WilDRangeRrfc]

What I find funny is PS fans saying TF has flopped when it is already at nearly a million,KZSF is at roughly one and a half million and has been out for ages yet that is lauded as a success,double standards on here are ridiculous,and I'm not trolling I'm one of the lucky few that have both consoles,6 games for my PS4 and only TF for X1,it's the best FPS or even game I have ever played,really enjoying Infamous as well,people stop trolling TF it's truly amazing

[NeloAnjelo]

Killzone SF is at 2.1 million.

Let's see what Infamous does.

[choujij]

I've never seen a game get so much coverage and hype. I too am surprised it didn't crack a million.

[GW212]

I have both consoles as well. I don't agree with your comment in that KZ was a launch title whereas Titanfall was touted as a system seller. To compare the sales numbers for those games isn't the right way to look at it. The comparison should be Titanfall and Infamous OR KZ and Ryse. The former two titles were both touted, albeit in slightly different ways due to exclusivity, as system sellers.

I do agree that Titanfall is better than what I thought it would be. I prefer Infamous simply because I like the genre better. Just my opinion. Both are awesome games.

[t-hall785]

The fact that it's 100 bucks more and only available in 15 countries is saying a lot. Hate it or love it.

[shinrock]

I really wish this site would make its minds if Vg is fake or not. X1 does good then its a lie. ps on top its gospel.make upur minds!

[Izzy408]

True story.

[barb_wire]

That Wii U just isn't selling is it.. not gonna lie, if they dropped the price to $249.99 or even better $199.99 I'd buy one in a flash..

[xDHAV0K24x]

bravo msft. not bad for a console in less territories and at a higher price point xD

[cell989]

lol PS4 only dropped sales by 1% the demand is still high

[plasticidolatry]

According to VGCharts PS4/X1 globally (not US only):

March Week 1: 123,702 to 74,441
March Week 2: 132,051 to 155,106 (titanfall week)
March Week 3: (infamous week upcoming)
March Week 4:
Total March: 255,753 to 229,547.

PS4 still ahead globally in March despite supply shortages, price drops, and free Titanfall/Forza bundles.

Week 3 I expect PS4 200-250k and Xbox 100-125k.

I estimate PS4 will sell 700-800k and Xbox 400-500k globally in March.

[shadyiswin]

Of course it's ahead globally lol xbox one is only in 12 other countries to the ps4's 45+ ,not sure why you guys keep making that point,rather than compare sales on fair ground you will look to europe and the best part is....it's selling perfectly fine in europe.

A 2:1 sell rate makes sense when the half of europe do not have the option to purchase the console,in other news the ps4 is outselling the xb1 100% in japan.....it's not nuclear physics the xbox will sell less yet earn more money at the end up day from higher software sales and profit of the console,meanwhile sony is selling off all it's laptop,phone and tablet divisions and gaming studios to waste money on VR b/s,google will own sony with in 15 years.

[plasticidolatry]

"Tier 2" countries are very small markets and already dominated by PS3 and PS4. In some of those "unlaunched" european countries you can already find grey market Xbox Ones readily available.

Xbox launching in those small markets will do almost nothing for their global sales. You'll be very disappointing if you expect some kind of sales surge.

[ColonelRex]

@shadyiswin:

"t's not nuclear physics the xbox will sell less yet earn more money at the end up day from higher software sales "

Except it doesn't have higher software sales than the PS4. Literally every PS4/xbox1 game have all sold better on the PS4 and the PS4 still has the top selling exclusive which is currently Killzone.

[shadyiswin]

haha you dont check other sites do you? xbox one has a higher software sale rate because it has 7-8 exclusives to ps4's 1 ,so sure tomb raider or metal gear sell more on ps4,xb1 gamers are buying more games per system due to awesome exclusives...does it make sense yet how xbox could bring home more money in software and hardware?

[Subaruwrx]

Since this thread is based on VGChartz here is is more up to date info. Week ending March 22nd from VGchartz HW totals have been posted: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz... PS4 leads in the USA and Europe again. Probably due to a combination of increased supply, Infamous Second Son and the new Metal Gear game.

[plasticidolatry]

That's interesting. 220k to 112k, right in the middle of my estimates for that week. That brings the March total to 476,102 to 342,060.

Add a fourth week where PS4 sells ~225k and Xbox sells ~125k and it will be at 700k to 450-500k total.

[shadyiswin]

when xbox one outsells psv4 vgchartz are xbox fanboys and th site is ridiculous.

when ps4 outsells xbox one vgchartz is the bible lol,haha give up xbox blah blah blah.

Truth is if you want a more accurate of how xbox is doing maybe make fair comparisons.

Look in the states how sony is only leading by 150,000 consoles or so. Americans are not like the japanese and we will buy a console or phone no matter where its made. The fact the xbox one is not far behind the mighty ps4 and being $100 more is a testament in itself.

Everyone is quick to go to global sales when the xbox one is not even half of europe,is not in japan at all (not that it matters) but when you see the ps4 doing 400,000 a month and xbox one doing 225,000 you all think it spells doom for microsoft.

Microsoft is doing just fine,not to mention the xbox one software sales crush the ps4's,why?? maybe cause xbox has games

killer instinct,titanfall,plants vs zombies,forza 5,ryse,zoo tycoon,dead rising 3 and next week kinect sports.

Ps4 has knack,killzone and infamous SS.

But you sony faithful will go to the grave how sony is the console for gamers yet they you give no games. Once again sony will give you a lackluster e3 focused on multiplatforms,few indies,the failing vita,the unfordable VR that oculus rift will crush with facebook money and a few trailers for games not coming out anytime soon "uncharted"...

Think of sonys last e3,there big 3 games were knack,killzone and drive club....why were you guys so excited again? lol Every year sony lies at there shows.

Let me know when drive club comes out.
Let me know when your friend came just hop in and help you complete a level.
Let me know when youre ps4 is backwards compatible with the power of "teh cloudz"
let me know when you can quick resume games from stand by (you can on xb1 :p)

http://www.computerandvideo...

sony is full of lies and no games to back it up,and not even any games coming soon! it's incredible,the xbox one will launch in 25 countries in september with a nice japanese exclusive and a halo game to drop in november,if you dont think microsoft will own this holiday you're simple a pony.

[Illusive_Man]

You speak the truth.

[Horny]

I remember hearing the same thing back in 06-07. I'm sure we all know what happened after that. Don't worry once Microsoft gets enough sales from the Hardcore gamers they will stop making or buying exclusives.

The only two next Gen games I enjoyed and would rate 8.0 or better were infamous and titanfall.

Now the reason I love seeing Sony kick ass is because the games will come regardless. Ms won't be able to buy exclusives if their system under performs, therefore they will be forced to make new exclusive and not just stop trying after the first 3 yrs.

[Mugen_mind]

Cnet.com has posted back on March 4 that Sony has sold 6 million PS4 beating Nintendo Wii U's one year lead and doubling Xbox One's sales. Ok I will give Microsoft a pat on the back for moving more systems after lowering their price of the Titanfall bundle by $50 and the release of Titanfall, but that was short lived when Sony dropped Infamous Second Son. They have yet to post numbers on that. They have said when Titanfall dropped in UK Xbox One sales went up 93% but when Sony dropped Infamous SS PS4 sales went up over 100%. EA will never make this mistake with Titanfall 2.

[Shane Kim]

Bububu titanfall was bundled and that doesnt count. That's what bot said about Knack in Japan.

[sebzhd]

Next Week, PS4 rules the world, bye bye M$, forever:
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz...

[ThatBlackDude187]

Ok i'm no xbox fan (actually a nintendo fan) but just because xbox one is rumored to outsell the ps4 everyone said the rumor was false? let the console have its time muthafuckas

[lonewolfjedi]

come on guys its not that serious it's vg charts! thats why its labeled as a rumour.

[Gamerita]

vgchartz is a joke.

[Illusive_Man]

Wonder how this will look if the console keeps selling at $450 at retail. I'm sure MS is monitoring the situation and will probably make $450 the new official price point. Keep Titanfall and Forza in there.

[TBONEJF]

VGCHARTZ BIAS hard ware counts. No fanboy site doesn't have the ACTUAL COUNT of each console only the company themselves do so why bother going there? Their just as bad as everything else

[Geekman]

The position the meter is in suggest denial. Look, Sony fans, I'm a SOny fan just like you, and I don't have an Xbox One, but VG Charts have been more or less approximatley correct, but I guess that's only true when the PS4 is winning.

Anyway, software wise I'm not too surprised. Titanfall is in Number one, Dark Souls 2 is in number 2. (That game gives me gray hairs) and South Park and Pokemon are still doing well. The only thing that surprises me is that Donkey Kong Country is in the top 20. I saw little hype built around that game. Good to see.

[TheStruggleIsReal]

"weekly ending March 15th"
A week before Infamous SS came out. After we get new updated info that also includes the week ending March 21, and the X1 is still ahead then that would be a news story worth talking about. As for now, No its not, because the info is skewed.
