Wolfenstein: The New Order on PS4 Outsells Xbox One Version in the UK, Xbox 360 Beats PS3

Wolfenstein: The New Order Launched last week, and looks like the PS4 version of the game came on top of the individual format chart provided by the UKIE, placing itself just above the Xbox One version in second place, while the Xbox 360 version dominated the old generation in 4th position, with the PS3 port in 8th. The PC version was ranked 5th.

Makes sense. more ps4's than xones and more 360's than ps3's in the UK.

[Gamer666]

Yep, this article falls in one of two categories...

1) The article was written by a PS4 fanboy pretending to be a "objective gaming journalist"

2) The article was written for a site desperate for advertising hits and knew fanboys would flock to it when made.

I hope it is #2. But, both are pathetic.

[Spotie]

It falls in neither category.

The Article is talking about sales of games in the UK. How is it different from the multiple posts by VG chartz?

At least it's backed up by real numbers.

[Gamer666]

@JMyers
Anyone who knows anything about gaming industry sales knows that:

1) PS4 has outsold Xbox One world wide since day one so how is it news that PS4 sold more units of Wolfenstein than X1?

2) 360 out sold the PS3 in North America and the UK the entire last generation so it is not surprising that sales of a game would be higher on 360.

These two trends have been obvious and very well documented for years on the previous generation and more than obvious this past year in the new generation.

every multiplat everywhere sells better on ps4 than x1.
every multiplat in uk/usa sells better on x360 than ps3.

this is simple truth which probably wont change even in further years.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

You are hallucinating.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Makes sense!

[Nuk]

I like how minecraft separates the generational consoles.

[MasterCornholio]

There are more PS4s sold then Xbox Ones so this makes sense.

[Software_Lover]

.............. Is this really an article?

[MasterCornholio]

Its just informing us that Wolfenstein is selling more on the PS4 than the Xbox One. I dont see any issue with that.

@ger

I'm glad that there's still a market for single player games. Despite what many fanboys are saying this game is selling well even though it doesn't have multiplayer.

[MasterCornholio]

@ThePope

Actually playstation fans buy more software than Xbox fans which means they play more games with their console. I was playing FF14 last night on my PS4 and at the same time I was posting on N4G with my tablet. I can play games and read "good news" on N4G.

[Kribwalker]

I call BS on your thought that PS fans by more software. If you look at console game attach rates, xbox has beatin PS in every generation they have both been around. Bigger user base more software yes. But attach rate is better for xbox consoles

[ThePope]

@master @krib

Krib is right attach rate is one of the most important things to developers and publishers. Because it tells them that if they launch on a system the likelihood of the game getting purchased. The Wii is the ultimate example, it sold 50% more than the 360 or PS3, and yet no one bought games for it. So companies stopped making games for it.

Xbox gamers have historically bought more games for the system than PS gamers.

[Abriael]

Is this really a comment?

[snookiegamer]

Lol ...nice!

[DefenderOfDoom2]

reply to Kribwalker , is your comment saying that original XBOX had bigger attach rate than PS2?
And i think it is fun too see how video games are selling and do not care for XBOX vs SONY debate at all ! As long as studios put out good games for us to play, for all consoles , that is all that should matter !!!

Is this the first time Dualshockers posted individual charts numbers for a retail release? Where was this article when the XB1 version of Titanfall was outselling the X360 version of the same game and infamous:SS for 6 straight weeks now?

[mkis007]

Well The Xbox 1 version of Titanfall was outsold by Infamous second son for April, so I don't know where you're getting those 6 weeks.

Obviously combined sales for Titanfall on 3 platforms (even 2 if you include 360) will be higher than infamous second son.

[No_Limit]

@mkis007,

You can see it in the individual weekly format archive....The XB1 Titanfall individual sku has been outselling inFamosu:SS since the week ending April 12 and outsold the X360 version of Titallfall Sku since April 27th.

A surprisingly good game, good to see it selling well. Goes to show that good games don't need multiplayer.

[Nuk]

I wish there was some kind of nazi killing co op though ;A;

[Immorals]

In the sue happy world we live in, I think Activision would have a field day..

[DefenderOfDoom2]

to Nuknuk , well i think it is good that just focused on the WOLFENSTEIN NEW ORDER campaign first! I think with all the good reviews and sales . I think that they will add some CO-OP down the line so people will not trade in their copy. CHEERS to maybe getting some STORY DLC and CO-OP DLC in the near future! off topic/
I wish i had a few more bubbles to post with!

[Volkama]

Kinda strange to see it selling well to be honest. I don't think it's a result of the quality or the pull of the IP. More a sign that a relatively heavy advertising blitz is a powerful tool.

That's not to say the game lacks quality.

[Illusive_Man]

I'd like to see the sales numbers based on install base factored in.

[GameDev1]

Would you also like the annual financial report for Bethesda Softworks from 2000, their partners report, your reading glasses and a cup of tea??

[Volkama]

As you're getting them in, I'll take a cup of tea as well please.

[Belasco]

I care just enough to comment and complain that this isn't news.

[Nightcyberspud]

In other news water is wet...

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Well first of all , to me it is cool too see this chart , but my only complaint is where are the unit's sold numbers! but still, it is good see this list , so it is all good to me !

[Predaking77]

Well, no surprise. PS4 is outselling the X1 everywhere so there is going to me more sales of the PS4 version.

[Keregan]

Makes sens since the ps4 has no games

[horndog]

What?! You mean to tell me that the console with a larger install base outsold the console with the smaller install base for the same game? How the f*** does that work? Now that is newsworthy. Can anyone she'd some light on this mystery?

Abrial what an awesome find.
