[Eonjay]

First week after price drop? I was expecting a little more from Xbox One this week. They have banners hanging from the ceiling at the door when you walk into GameStop advertising the drop. Whats up?

[Nitrowolf2]

Yea, I'll be honest I thought the X1 would lead (not by much) a week or so in the us after the price drop, not the other way around. Just shows that price wasn't a major factor like everyone was making it out to be. This was also pretty known considering that the X1 been on sale for a while now before the official price drop/model drop

[NextLevel]

Price is only part of the problem. The Xbox One has an image problem. The hardware, mainly the GPU is weak sauce in comparison to the PS4. So the games output in weird resolutions like 792p, the general public knows the PS4 has better performing multiplats, look at the software numbers. My 11 year old cousin knows about the Xbox One's resolution problems, he just knows the PS4 is better. It's common knowledge. People bought their 65 inch TVs cause they want to use them and enjoy viewing content in the highest resolution possible, which is why the don't even sell 720p TVs anymore. The Xbox One also came out the gate claiming watching TV is the future, the general public knows this and didn't like it.

The image problem the Xbox One has, is that the PS4 is better. I don't expect this to change.

[Death]

It's VGCharts...

[Sabo]

This doesn't take into account pre orders for the white PS4 bundle also, I think.... Which is also doing pretty well on Amazon.

It will be interesting, though, to see how far off these numbers are when the NPD arrives.

Those Vita sales are not too good, I hope they are seriously considering that PS4/Vita bundle.

[torchic]

@Death

tbf VGChartz tend to exaggerate Microsoft numbers so.....

and, as with all "new console" releases the numbers drop off after the first week...

if these numbers are correct then wow. but Microsoft deserve this, they've mismanaged Xbox since the advent of Kinect on 360. it's been downhill ever since while Sony were working 24/7 to improve the PlayStation brand.

[bouzebbal]

first there has been no price drop! they removed kinect obviously the price goes down with it.

well looks like PS4 is in for a victory for the sixth time.

i know VGchartz isn't a reliable source but still...x1 numbers might be lower than this as a matter of fact

[Dolf045]

If the drop had hit with a killer game I could see sales improving, but we're not really at "killer app" levels with either console yet.

I expected a bump in sales from people who were considering buying last month holding off until now, but I'm not at all surprised it hasn't taken a major jump.

[pornflakes]

@ NextLevel

65 inch for only 1920x1080p ?? LOOOOOOL

65 inch is way to huge for such a low resolution.. for 65 inch you need 4k TVS....

[URNightmare]

If this is the first week after a couple of weeks of "people waiting for the cheaper sku" then this is not a good sign for Xbox One at all. I honestly thought it was going to outsell the PS4 at least for the first week specially in the US.

[NextLevel]

@pornflakes

You just proved my point. If 1080p suffers on such a large TV, what does roughly half the pixels at 792p look like?

[MysticStrummer]

@pornflakes - It also has to do with how far a person sits from their TV.

OT - I'm as big a PS guy as many here but I'm also surprised by these numbers. I thought XB1 would get enough of a boost to get a small win for at least a week or so.

"Just shows that price wasn't a major factor like everyone was making it out to be."

Isn't this the closest PS4 and XB1 have been in the weekly numbers? I don't remember and don't have sufficient interest to look it up, but if so then the price drop and/or diskinect was definitely a major factor, just not enough to give XB1 the win. The numbers, nebulous as they are coming from vgchartz, are very close. Of course history says the real PS numbers are probably higher and real XB numbers are probably lower, so there's that.

[ramiuk1]

problem is you can get the one with kinect in uk for £15 more than non kinect version.
cex and game have loads preowned and there being sold for £300 with kinect which is £100 less than new and £50 less than non kinect bundle and they both offer a years warranty.

also the titanfall kinect bundle can be bought for £369 so an extra £19 for a game and kinect.

not sure price difference in US but its insulting in uk,specially as im sure MS said it costs voer £100 to make kinect 2.0.

[morganfell]

More lies from VGchartz. Have they been paying attention? Yes and they still lie. Look at Amazon where the Xbox is doing worse than any month to date. It isn't even in the top 50. It is also doing worse at Best Buy. It is pretty much in the same spot as always at Gamestop.

Nice job N4G. Letting these made up numbers be published on your site when they are universally banned is doing wonders for your reputation among the rest of the game community. And you wonder why this place is seen as a 12 and below site.

[GribbleGrunger]

As a member of VGC, I suggest people totally ignore these numbers until we get official confirmation. I've now completely run out of patience with this site; although the forums still have some great posters.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@Death

Oh, now it's "It's VGChartz...". Was that were you stand last gen?

@On topic

Yes, it's VGChartz and why this crap hasn't been banned from here years ago as they were showed multiple times "adjusting" their numbers is beyond me... Still, this is what we had been saying here again and again, only to be called out fanboys or anti-MS or whatever. PRICE ISN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM. It's as simple as that. In fact, if I were a betting man, I would say the XB1 numbers are way too high, I doubt the sales bump was that big, simply because other sales track forms (Amazon and Gamespot) don't point at enough demand for a significative bump, also the bump come alone from people that hold off for a month (and those weren't that many to begin with). Had this came with some expected game
release, things would had been different, but as it is lowering the price/unbundling Kinect solves nothing.

But hey, it's VGChartz, they can just undertrack the next weeks or so if they need "adjusting" (seriously N4G, get a grip).

[ThanatosDMC]

Great. This crap again. I've been marking it down but i guess they pay n4g somehow?

OT: Who owns n4g? Great guy. Thank you for this hilarious website.

[mikeslemonade]

Same old bitching about VGC.. They inflate X1 and deflate PS4. We all know that but are you seriously going to wait one month for bragging rights. I get to brag now! PS4 beat X1 once again during the "price drop". That's the last nail in the coffin for X1.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

its gotten to the point now where people who bought the XB1 are already giving up and getting PS4s. Its total domination.

[Neonridr]

is it cool to use words like "weak sauce"?? I just can't bring myself to saying that word without feeling like I dropped a few IQ points typing out the characters..

[NextLevel]

Why would you expect more? They sold 77,000 last month, 115,000 the month before and still got outsold when Titanfall released and everyone created incentive to buy it. The general public just doesn't want it, they want the PS4.

[choujij]

Titanfall should have been the big eye opener to many, as it was to me. Despite how hyped that game was, Xbone was outsold that month in it's strongest market. And that's on top of the incentives that Microsoft and retailers were throwing at people.

The fact is, there is no miracle that will "save" the Xbone. It's going to under-perform in sales and graphics this gen, whether people accept that or not. And the sooner we move past that, the sooner we can enjoy what each of the systems have to offer.

[kickerz]

Whatever, so 38 000 people that just bought an xb1 are not "general public" do u even know what your saying.

[Neonridr]

pretty sure they want both. Otherwise 4.5 million people wouldn't own XB1's.

[FITgamer]

It's VGC, just have to wait until NPD. They also adjust the PS4 numbers down 300k.

[elazz]

Which is weird since the PS4 numbers were only overtracked by around 40-50k throughout the whole month of May while being undertracked during all the others. But the best we can do is wait for official numbers from Sony

[MysticStrummer]

Many times, PS numbers actually have to be adjusted up, not down on vgchartz. They tend to underestimate PS numbers and overestimate XB's.

[Wikkid666]

Wasn't a full week of sales for the new sku.

[lelo]

There was no price drop. It's quite simply a different X1 SKU without Kinect at $399. X1 with Kinect is still $499. I don't understand why people insist it's a price drop.

As for a Kinectless X1 at $399, it's to expensive. They should have released the Kinectless X1 at most $349 (or take a hit and release it at $299).
Microsoft has to do the same thing Sony did last gen with the PS3. Take a hit and sell the X1 at a cheaper price if they want to win back their market share... but what the hell do I know.

[Eonjay]

They consider it a price drop because Kinect was never mandatory and because it wasn't available at that price before.

[joydestroy]

i agree. if M$ wants to get back on track, they need an actual price drop. i think $349 for a Kinect-less Xbone sounds like a good price. then consumers would have a hard decision to make.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

People can access it for less money then what was required before. What we call it makes no difference.

And 299 is just out of reality for now. You do know they are already selling at a loss in both kinected and unkinected prices, right? I agree 349 would had been better, but I don't know if they can afford it.

PS3 in fact needed to take a hit in order to remain competitive, probably a bigger hit than either PS4 or XB1 are taking right now (neither are sold at a profit), but that was PS3, the successor to a very profitable brand, around 2007 before recession hitted hard and with plenty of happy shareholders... I don't think XB1 is even close to the status to take more loss (and the market in general isn't in that status, PS4 would be having problems right now if it needed a desperate price drop)... I mean, sure, MS as a company can back that up, they have the checks ready, but the Xbox Division is already the investors' headache (some want it gone for crying out loud) and it probably would do more harm than good to just bleed even more money with no warranties (said before, saying it again: it's not just the price).

[Jury]

Umm why are people taking these numbers seriously? They are no more accurate than our own guesses

Virtual Guess Charts

[Magicite]

This summer will be really bad for X1.
It may get boosts in September when they release it in more countries and launch exclusives like Forza Horizon 2, but I dont expect anything spectacular.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

If u look at front page of vgchartz http://www.vgchartz.com Xbox one sold more it has to be some mistake and as Xbox fan I don't think Xbox one will do as good as Xbox 360 unless Microsoft drop the price as soon as possible otherwise they gonna lose against ps4 Microsoft done so much public damage to Xbox one and I hope Phil spencer do something about ASAP

[Eonjay]

That might not be a "mistake". The understanding is that the PS4 sold more in the US, but the Xbox One may have sold more in Canada or Mexico. North America vs USA.

[IcicleTrepan]

in Canada,

PS4 = $449.99
XB1 + Kinect = $499.99 and includes at least one game.
XB1 - Kinect = $399.99

So for people where price is a factor or getting a game bundled in is a factor, XB1 probably sells better here than in the USA where the PS4 is $399.99

[aceitman]

not even in Canada x1 is doing good even with a cheaper price tag or bundle checked here http://www.amazon.ca/gp/bes...
x1 399$ is at the 89 spot on amazon Canada and the titanfall bundle is at 74 and the ps4 with a higher price tag is at 21. even the wii u is at 23 beating out x1.

[sgtGanGreen]

As you can see xbox one sale +70% and ps4 -8%
Guess price didn't make a difference huh?

[Shnazzyone]

Wow, something interesting. Wii U now has more global units worldwide than ps4. by like 4 million units. Is that right? how come I didn't hear anything about that? Maybe because it's vgchartz.

[Ju]

No. 8M PS4 vs 6M WiiU ?

[DLConspiracy]

Still for a company that had a really bad image problem to be "on par" with the leading console isn't really a bad thing. That means they are cleaning up their act a bit. Viva la games.

[xDHAV0K24x]

Not a price drop. New sku...smh

[Spotie]

So you're saying it's the same price as WITH the Kinect?

[showtimefolks]

good all around, it will be very interesting to see how many people will hold on from buy a ps4 because they want the white one

i know on amazon ps4 white is one of the top selling items since E3

[avengers1978]

It's VGCharts just vote it down and move on... I can't believe the site hasn't been banned from N4G

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

If this is true, we may have reached parity between the platforms. Maybe now games will truly drive game sales instead of RROD, console bans, sitting on shelves, and price drops. I think this is good news for gamers.

[Bigpappy]

Its not about price but power. If M$ wants to match PS4 in sales, it needs to convince the core gamers that X1 is not underpowered compare to PS4. They are direct competitors, not like the wii.

Having said that, I expect that with the new SDK and the freeing of more band with, when not using Kinect, the resolution difference with be significantly reduced or eliminated and we will start to see evidence of this by the end of summer and in time for the big fall release. But matching PS4 sales will be a huge undertaking.

Reading some of the comments here makes me wonder if some people are really taking this console war thing just a bit to seriously. So what if the numbers are wrong? Why are they that important that you need to vent their anger and frustration to the point of almost tears and insult the people who approve the RUMOR is immature. Has this now become the most important aspect of gaming. Not even bragging about having better games anymore, it is now about 'the hardware I picked is selling way better that the one you picked, and VGChartz is spoiling my erection by saying Xbox isn't getting beat 4:1'.

Some of you really need to take a break from gaming and re-evaluate what is important in your lives.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

PS4 still has the lead!? after the price drop of the One surprising!!!

[XiYakushijuAkeginuXi]

Yeah I was a little surprised too

[aceitman]

looks like kinectless xbox one is not enough to take ps4 , the numbers for global are coming soon showing x1 at 60,000 and ps4 at 96,000 and wiiu at 64,000. x1 got beat by wiiu on global sales is not good for ms at launch week for kinectless x1. and if the amazon charts show any indication of the sales for the next week it will not be a good week for ms.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Well i'm pretty sure PS4 sold even more since VG chartz constantly under tracks PS4 sales while they over track X1 sales.

[aceitman]

@MrSwankSinatra I totally agree with u , there is some fishy stuff going on at vgchartz for some reason they boosted the 360 1.5 million , and they just lowered ps4 totals , but it seems to me that they are giving x1 more total numbers than they should ps4 has moved at least 120,000 a week but they have it as if it only sold 50,000 a week on totals but x1 seems to be higher as total sales x1 by vgchartz sold 300,000 in a month. weird but I take there numbers with a grain of salt and just as an high low estimate .knowing they boost and undercut certain consoles numbers.

[XiYakushijuAkeginuXi]

Boycott the mods who do not remove this site

[Clarence]

I agree.
http://www.dualshockers.com...
This is not good for M$. I think gamers still don't trust M$ yet. It's going to be a uphill battle for M$ this gen.

Yesterday they had the xbone beating the PS4 by a 1000.

[vivid83]

I don't think its a trust issue anymore I think has to do with no 1 year headstart but I could be wrong

[Shnazzyone]

did you notice wii U is still leading globally by totals? According to them Wii U has 25 million while ps4 has 21 million. When did that happen?!

[Gamer1982]

initial surge will die down too..

[majorkilljoy]

i don't trust vg charts lets wait for the npd numbers for june.

[DLConspiracy]

Agreed. Still 70% increase isn't a bad sign even for VGchartz

[leemo19]

Can't wait for NPD to show the actual numbers, so Vgchartz can continue their incorrect numbers streak.

[XiYakushijuAkeginuXi]

And the mods continually ignore our request to have them removed from this site

[leemo19]

Yep, whats the point of down voting a site on here if the mods continue to ignore the votes.

[Drekken]

Go to vgchartz home page and scroll down. They have N4G links. You usually don't kick someone out of your bed that is making you happy(rich).

[AceBlazer13]

Who was it saying PS4 is only gonna win 2 more months out of the remaining six? Sure it was some idiot. The first week should show the highest sales for the kinectless SKU so XB1 is gonna lose till the next savior arrives I guess, what's next on the list Xbox fanboys? SSO, Horizon? What?

http://img842.imageshack.us...

I know its VG chartz, and btw it's sad how accurate that board has been so far, by the end of the month Kinectless SKU should be crossed off.

[torchic]

think it was truefan1

[Knushwood Butt]

lol

[DLConspiracy]

Hey is there going to be cake and party hats for the party tonight? The celebration party for the demise of Xbox? I can't wait to celebrate gaming by picking my favorite corporation to side with.

[Axios2]

Now that the price is the same the sales are within 2%

Interestingly, the same source shows X1 selling better in North America, looks like Canada and Mexico more than made up the 2%

[Yaay4me]

not really. first of all this is VGcharts. secondly, this is the built up demand from people who waited for a whole month to get the cheaper SKU. after this week, xbone number will go down. Fact is, xbox has never been able to generate the same demand as Playstation when all else is equal. (look at last generation, PS3 was way more expensive and they still outsold 360 in the end with a whole year less time in the market). Lastly, this is just the U.S., imagine what the difference is like in the rest of the world.

[JMyers]

Anything to justify the numbers right Axios? Whatever makes you guys sleep...

Anyways, these numbers should be higher given the X1 drop right? And we know that VG over tracks on many occasion. So logically we can conclude that the X1 numbers may be lower.

MS may win a few months in 2014, with The MC Collection. But I don't see them keeping it up consistently... Despite losing Kinect.

[SoulSercher620]

Spin master right here ya'll

[LOL_WUT]

Congrats to MK8 for taking the top spot even though this is VG . ;)

[Neonridr]

even if you say it's off by a certain +/- no way it didn't outsell Watch Dogs on the PS4.

[TheFallenAngel]

First of all vgchartz. They are notorious for under tracking ps4 and over tracking xbone. But I was expecting a huge spike on sales for xbone.

[True_Samurai]

Sure sure /s. VG also claimed ms only sold 81m 360s but announced 84m weeks ago

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

Edit: BTW I'm surprised how no one one noticed when VG knocked off 200k on Wii U Sales. But hey it's VG right?

[Sabo]

Yeah, pretty much every NPD that comes out shows that VG over tracks X1 by a pretty decent amount... And notoriously under tracks PS4. People aren't making this stuff up.

[Yaay4me]

they under track Playstation products, and over track Microsoft products, its a fact.

[sovkhan]

84 m shipped to retailers not sold :)

[medziarz]

DA-DA-DA-DA-DAAAAAAMINATION.

Another battle for the Righteous DAAMINATOR.

Oh, and it looks like VGC has made some corrections by decreasing the total number of PS4s sold. It was over 8M last time I checked.

[cfc83]

Uk prices - standalone xb1 is 350

xb1 with kinect and titanfal is 370. This works out cheaper.

The 350 without kinect seems to be doing alright on amazon. This to me indicates that british people put privacy before price.

[KillerByte23]

For Xbox One it will probably go up when

- The console is released in more countries later this year, remember the Xbox One has only been released in 13 countries compared to 40+ for the Playstation 4

- When Halo Master Chief collection is released to the public

We don't know who is the winner of June until June's NPD is releases later in the month

[InTheLab]

Releasing in more countries won't help them in the states which is what this chart is. Th en second thing is that X box doesn't do well outside the Us and UK so world wide numbers won't leap that much.

[larrysdirtydrawss]

the reason xone is not released in those other countries is because consoles don't sell well in them,why else wouldn't they be there yet instead of taking their sweet time... the bulk of xbox sales comes from the 13 countries they're already released in,same goes for sony(not including japan). those other countries represent percentage points to overall sales.

[greenyboi]

Has nobody got anything better to do than argue about sales. You know like play games i honestly don't know how half of you find time to play games with your constant bitching and moaning .stop worrying about how well your preferred system is selling and play some games

[GW212]

... says the guy bitching and moaning.

Why don't you go play some games?

[greenyboi]

I check this site twice a day to keep up with gaming news(mainly bullshit fanboy opinion pieces)in talking about everytime i click a article its the same people arguing about the same shit. And i have been playing just started my first play through of the last of us 😃

[uth11]

Not really surprising, PS4 has been consistently outselling Xbox One in the Amazon best sellers list since the price drop.

But VGchartz numbers aren't trusted.

[MysticStrummer]

Yeah I've noticed those Amazon numbers as well. After E3, XB1 games climbed up the list while the console stayed pretty much in the same spot, including the disKinected version. It doesn't mean everything, but it certainly doesn't mean nothing either. Amazon has consistently shown PS4 outselling XB1 and the rest of the sales numbers reflect that same trend, so to ignore Amazon numbers now is silly.

[KakashiHotake]

Well the sales are pretty neck and neck all things considered.

[MysticStrummer]

"All things considered" should include the history of vgchartz, which shows a consistent tendency to overestimate XB numbers and underestimate PS numbers.

[Manic2014]

Price is still a issue in europe for xbox one they should reduce it to 349 euros.

[Goku781]

The power of Playstation compels the world despite Xbox One price drop bundle and advertisements everywhere. It will not be denied!

[xDHAV0K24x]

*vomits* go away

[D-riders]

Either way in America it should be a bigger difference. People were waiting on price drop and they went and got a system.i don't care if it 300 they lost me Last gen. I owned 17 Xbox 360s. So I'll never buy another ms hardware product

[True_Samurai]

17 Xbox 360s????

65" u need 4k?
what a load of tosh.

im sat playhing my ps4 on a 1080p projector and it looks amazing at 14/15ft away

[SilentNegotiator]

Week 3 and the ps4 version of Watch Dogs is still ahead of MK8 in total US sales. Wow.

[btk]

VGChartz warming up to pretend that Xbone is going to lead next week's sales...
On the main page XBone sales is more than PS4 on N America.
Guess they don't learn do they?

[aaronjohnson05]

Yall are some graphics whores. That's all yall talk about is that 1080p shit or who has the better graphics or the rain that's coming down on the ps4 version looks better. The xbox plays and looks just fine on my 60 inch tv. Yall gamers ain't never satisfied even when the graphics start looking more realistic when the next gen arrives. Yall still going to complain and bitch and cry like little babies that's why yall fanboys make me sick. I expect that from kids but yall adults acting like is very sad. I'm a proud owner of a xbox one and wii u and thinking about a ps4 which makes me a anti fanboy.

[GW212]

Do you feel better now?

Instead of bitching on some random gaming site, why don't you take your own advice and go play some games?

[feraldrgn]

Pretty impressive for the PS4 to still outsell the Xbone even when Gamestop's been all about promoting the heck out of MS' console.

Imagine if Gamestop put as much effort into promoting the PS4?

[MRMagoo123]

LOL exactly , pretty much any shop I go into the xbone has way more advertisement space yet still loses in sales. If sony put as much effort into there advertisements with retailers they would be even further ahead I can imagine.

[jnemesh]

So many advocates of the Xbox who refuse to see what is in front of their faces. Xbox's lower price is NOT moving units! Cross "Official Price Drop" and "Kinectless Xbox" off the chalkboard! What's left? "Sunset Overhype" and "Halo"...things are looking grim for Microsoft's underpowered, ill conceived, poorly designed console!

[jnemesh]

oops, wrong thread...

[Dorwrath]

Oh look its that time in the month when all the wannabe shareholders flood N4G and grace us with their words of wisdom lol

[kwandar]

Interesting that MarioCart is taking a big lead in software sales over Watchdogs on PS4.

Don't have Watchdogs. Is Watchdogs selling fewer as it hasn't lived up to expectations on PS4, or is MarioCart doing better because there is so much pent up demand?

[SilentNegotiator]

Watch Dogs Ps4: 853,084 total sold in US
MK8: 617,951 total sold in US

[kwandar]

You are combining two platforms. I'm looking specifically at PS4 vs Wii U, which have a comparable hardware numbers in the market.

If you increase the install base by including platforms outside of PS4, you'd certainly see more sales - but a poor basis for analysis.

I'd have expected the sales would be closer.

[kwandar]

Sorry - I was looking at weekly sales, not 3 week sales.

I recall that being a bit warped because MarioCart was only there for 2 days of the first week - but I may be off there.

[SilentNegotiator]

It was a 3 day difference.

[LetoAtreides82]

He isn't combining two platforms. Watch Dogs on PS4 sold 1.79 million as of June 7th worldwide, 0.87 million of that is from North America. Mario Kart 8 has done 1.4 million units as of June 7th worldwide, 0.58 million of that is from North America.

Now if you were to combine all the platforms Watch Dogs has sold 3.92 million units as of June 7th worldwide, 2.04 million of that from North America. Mario Kart 8 is chump change in comparison.

[Gemmol]

lets be serious now, mario kart have long legs, games like these sell big in the begining then drop off, how you think Mario Kart wii sold over 34 million, if you think back it probably sold 1 million first week or less.....this why Sony 1st party and Xbox 1st party can't keep up, cause they sell just like third party, they sell a bunch early on and the legs fall off......I still cant believe you got happy of comparing sales with mario kart so early lol, lets see what excuse you say when we compare mario kart sales next year with watch dogs

[MerRoids]

If we are going to compare, look at Sonys offerings as a total compared to the xbox one and 360 totals. Microsoft still wins guys.

[Loadedklip]

Incredible how often people need to express that VGchartz isn't to be trusted or LOL VGchartz.

Look ... it's an estimate just like NPD itself is an estimate (no really ... NPD is an estimate as well. Not sure how many of you guys know that).

But it's an estimate that comes weekly to give you an ... "idea" of how things are going.

Is it 100% accurate? No of course not.

But if they say a game sold a million can you more or less believe them? ... yea ... you can as they are USUALLY in the ballpark.

But if you don't like VGchartz, then stop posting in the articles and giving it hits. All you are doing is helping them.

[cruzngta]

Pitiful... even after the price drop you would think there would have been an initial rush of sales. PS4 is clearly in the driver seat and isnt going to have to look back anytime soon if ever this gen. It would be bad if MS pulls the plug on XB1 if this keeps up.

[Flames76]

This is wrong the sale numbers are already in the PS4 was at 42,000 and the Xbox One was at 43,000.The X1 outsold everything in america last week.Sorry but you fail sony fanboy.Wow i know sony is in trouble going bankrupt next year but these false articles are just getting pathetic

[poor_cus_of_games]

Butthurt much kid? Let's see a link to them numbers.

[Yaay4me]

I bet you the xbone numbers are inflated as always. then NPD is gonna come out and you realize it wasn't even close.

[cell989]

no way!! even after the xbone price drop they still didnt get first place?!!! wow just wow

[HollywoodLA]

VChartz are irrelevant trash. The imbecile who runs that site has admitted, on numerous occasions, that his numbers are consistently inaccurate. Not that you need to be told that -- considering they change their numbers daily.

Wait for OFFICIAL numbers and stop propagating that inaccurate website. Much like mind reading, psychics, and the supposed 'god' -- it too should not be take seriously, or consumed without a heaping kegger of salt.

Mariocart 8

REALLY? Come on...

[Lumbo]

Yay,

more fantasy numbers to argue about :)

[HollywoodLA]

Exactly. VGBullshit.

[welly300]

I think it might be other way ps4 lower and xbox1 is much higher when official numbers come out.

[BlackTar187]

based on what exactly?

[MRMagoo123]

hope and dreams probably lol

[welly300]

When this gen started all my mates at work was all sony now in the last few weeks the ones with a ps4 also have a x1. So in my opinion yes I think the numbers could swing the other way.

[cyclindk]

With how quickly Microsoft have been to react to consumer reaction post-launch, i would'nt put it past them to make an ACTUAL price drop happen before or right at the holidays. 50.00 at least for both SKUs.

This might be enough, but at this point perhaps too much damage has been done, guess we will see in the months to come.

@morganfell

You are drunk. your comment shows you are a kid.
can you point out any site that track video game sales weekly?

We know VG chartz is not an accurate source but their numbers are a bit close and they always edit these numbers when NPD and other tracking sites reveal their numbers.

Also, if NPD decided to be releasing weekly sales as quickly as possible, they might be wrong.

[eferreira]

truefan1 and georgenoob where are you?

[LightDiego]

I'm surprised about the Xbox 360 numbers, don't want to start a discussion or anything like that, but PS3 has more exclusive games to be released in the future, like Persona 5.

[alti]

"If we build it, they will come."

Sorry Microsoft, but somebody else built it better.

[TBONEJF]

I don't like VG CHARTZ BIAS blog site they can't keep track of sales from hardware and software accurate. I only read from SONY/MS/NINTENDO on how many hard ware themselves. that includes software as well

[Father__Merrin]

God be praised!!!

[larrysdirtydrawss]

if ms gave away xone for free,ps4 would still have higher numbers

[reploid]

As an owner of both platforms (and thinking of getting a wii u just for mario kart which is awesome), I want both consoles to perform well. Having said that, this so called console wars was over at e3 2013. MS will trail behind this entire generation, Don Mattrick developed the wrong console to lead. Phil Spencer's job is to shorten the gap by any means possible, and try to move on to the next gen as fast as he can without pulling a sega. This will never be said to the public, but I bet thats what was said to him when he took the job. Xbox one has many strengths, and I do not regret purchasing it with kinect. Heck, I even own a media remote. My wife loves the live fit thing, and it owns as a netflix machine and controlling my TV. I do however purchase multiplats for my ps4, and will only buy exclusives for the one. Things will get better in the future with DX12 a bit, and MS will have to invest heavily on first/second party titles to stay at second place and not behind the wii u, which is a win for everyone. I hope they purchase Crytek and Sony purchases Capcom for even more awesome all around.

[Mugen_mind]

Like I stated before: I'm sick of everyone calling the $399 Xbox One a price cut when it's a downgrade because they took out kinect. It would have been better if Microsoft give it a bigger hard drive like 720gb or 1tb hdd for $399 since it not removable. I know I will be getting a lot of dislike but I don't care because a kinect less system is just a way to justify a higher priced kinect when they add new kinect games and appt. or features in the future.

[S2Killinit]

I think I read Mystic Strummer calling it "Dis-Kinected" which i thought was pretty clever. kudos to him.

[SoulSercher620]

Still PlayStation domination even after Kinect-less SKU

[DoggyBiscuit]

What love most bout VgChartz is how they make up #'s

[CervantesPR]

what did i tell you last time??? xbox one is fuc** i tell you, not even a $100 pricedrop did anything, PS4 is simply the king hate on that all you want but its the truth disagree but this generation is a wrap the king is back to ruling the kingdom

[Jack_Reacher]

So many people moaning about this site been a joke.
But still your all here.
Find somewhere else its really simple. Tho apparently not. I agree with Gribble there are some great posters here. god knows why they are still here tho.

Anyway. nice to see the same old argument about VGC.

. . . . .next!

[ballsohard2013]

interesting... I have a Ps4 and am planning to get at an X1. Glad i waited cause its gonna save me $100. And i'm still gonna wait somemore (maybe bday in Sept) because both the lineups for both systems are just awful for this 1st year. I might just pick up an X1 when I purchase GTA5 and madden 15.. that will be the $100 or so i saved on bum ass kinect lol.

Im guessing X1 will be good for the major online games like Call of Duty and i think im gonna trust Rockstar (GTA5) will and Kojima (Metal gear) will be able to make an optimized game on both X1 and Ps4, but the heavy multiplayer part will have a better eexperience with Microsoft. In all honesty when it comes to Sony Online... Xbox Live totally blows them out the water. I remember when sony was offline for damn near a month+ a few years ago and I bought an online game (socom 4)... i was super pissed especially because i buy most of my games to play online. PS4 is down too much. Even with me paying for an online subscription.

But with that said Im a true gamer so regardless i will own both systems cause theres gonna be benefits to both soon and will probably get a Wii U for my chic.

[MSBAUSTX]

Forget the next gen systems. Is anyone else laughing that last generation Wii almost sold as much as Vita LOL!
