The First[Place] of Us.

I'll see myself out.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Well, they you have it. Wow.

Holy crap. Where did that come from?

PS4 #1, no surprise.

Offset by digital perhaps?

[Kusagari]

The only chance Microsoft has to top Sony in sales is the Master Chief Collection. I doubt it will give the Xbox One enough momentum to topple the PS4 though.

No way it gives the Bone enough momentum to top PS4 during November. It's going to be really interesting to see the first true Black Friday, since they were both barely a week or so old last year, for the systems.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Will we see actual numbers this month? We already knew PS4 would be number 1.

Incredible for TLOU to place #1 after just a few days on the market. But also expected, we want numbers!

we see them most months, cryptic or otherwise, the leakers just usually wait a few hours to do it.

 

[megabytecr]

Well deserved TLOUR, enjoying it a lot!!

PS software more than half of total SW, wow!!

C´mon Ninty, you can do it...

 

[Suzushiiro]

TLoU at #1 isn't surprising considering it was pretty much the only big retail release last month.

 

[AgentP]

Well, damn. Why in July in particular?

It's been heavily discounted on XB1 for months, it was $19.99 on XB1 at amazon for a long time. I presume they are courting TF buyers in prep for this fall.

 

[Raptor]

GO THE LAST OF US GOOOOO!!!1

 

[BokehKing]

How many days was the Last of Us even out in July?

 

[vinnygambini]

Already done. WiiU ~81k.

I thought it was 83k? Not that it matters anyway.

 

[Raist]

It's 5 minutes too much.

Ahahah ... I know :asd: Just kidding.

 

[FireCloud]

Congrats Sony.

Interesting that TLoU:R was only out a couple of days in July. Good for ND and those that didn't get to play it on the PS3.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Nintendo hardware must have been pretty bad, if they didn't offered real numbers...

 

[Blanquito]

Well, damn. Why in July in particular?

Not sure, but I speculate that it's because CoD Ghosts has been selling better on PS4 than XBO the previous months (see past sales threads) and they wanted to bump the sales. Who knows?

 

[Jomjom]

Microsoft also released a statement, but it was even less specific than Nintendo.

“Xbox One continues to sell at a strong and steady pace following the release of the $399 console in June, when month-to-month sales more than doubled,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “We continued to see this momentum in July.”​

strong and steady

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

 

[gigantor21]

Well, they you have it. Wow.

W-when did they make this one!? :O

Not sure, but I speculate that it's because CoD Ghosts has been selling better on PS4 than XBO the previous months (see past sales threads) and they wanted to bump the sales. Who knows?

Huh, interesting. I ask because COD games usually take a long ass time to get around $20 AFAIK.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Holy crap. Where did that come from?

.

Naughty Dog

 

[Ape]

Microsoft PR got a stability update.

 

[Stillmatic]

XB1 pulling a #1 with COD! Would love to see numbers on TLOU. ND done a great job with it, so well deserved!

 

[Chobel]

Should add this as well to OP.



So 4 months in a row with no proper PR.....

Dat momentum...

Microsoft PR got a stability update.

LMAO!!!

 

[BY2K]

Wow, Mario Kart got legs.

 

[prag16]

Ugly.

Yeah, thought they might have a chance at eking out a slightly better hold than that, closer to 90-100.

 

[DryvBy]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

 

[valkillmore]

Microsoft PR got a stability update.

Goddamn

 

[benny_a]

How many days was the Last of Us even out in July?

It's release date was July 29th. You have to ask Aquamarine or someone that kept count what that means in NPD tracking period.

 

[Caoz]

See that Sony? Bring AAA games to the PS4. They will get to the top of the charts.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Grand Theft Auto V HD will do really well.

I'm now thinking there's no way it (combined SKUs) won't be number one when it comes out (November?). I guess there's more of an appetite for remastered games than I thought.

 

[mjontrix]

I thought it was 83k? Not that it matters anyway.

If they can get more momentum and break 100k monthly it would be a good start.

 

[Kyoufu]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

December when PS4 was heavily supply constrained.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Already done. WiiU ~81k.

Dat momentum....

 

[Morfeo]

Software sales down year over year means what?

 

[shwimpy]

Titanfall hasn't charted in the top since the $399 sku and UFC fell completely off the map. Not good for EA.

 

[coolasj19]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

Like, December? Supply shortages, y'know?

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Or was that just hype around MK8?

 

[prwxv3]

Microsoft PR got a stability update.

my sides

 

[Kathian]

Offset by digital perhaps?

I don't think the new consoles have created such an additional focus on digital that the market has changed by such a large amount in a year.

More likely down to the fewer releases; can't really see momentum building behind software revenues outside of individual big releases. The market is going to be a lot less diverse.

 

[Sami+]

Surprised TLOU is #1 and Watch Dogs on all platforms is only #4.

More remasters coming :/

Awesome! I hope Demon's Souls comes next!

 

[NavyPharaoh]

It's interesting how the ps3 version of watch dogs outsold the xb1 version.

Just as interesting is the xb1 version of ghosts leads all platforms.

 

[stryke]

TLOU was out for 3 days not 5 but your point still stands

Tracking period ended on August 2nd.

 

[icespide]

didn't realize NPDs were today! damn TLOU

 

[onQ123]

The only chance Microsoft has to top Sony in sales is the Master Chief Collection. I doubt it will give the Xbox One enough momentum to topple the PS4 though.

They should have a chance with the Bundles.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

If i remember right last year dec .

 

[ghst]

last july, the last of us, minecraft and an american football game made up the top three.

this july, the last of us, minecraft and a football game made up the top three.

and people say this industry is spinning its wheels.

 

[Creamium]

Really glad for TLOU, well deserved once again. Even as a remaster, it's not surprising to see it at the top. How did the TR13 remaster do on PS4? I think we're going to see even more of them if the sales are this good

 

[bananafactory]

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

I think in December it did, due to some big sales and the PS4 being sold out everywhere.

That's the last time I recall it happening

 

[SwiftDeath]

So they are saying that sales doubled month-to-month again? Can't we calculate the numbers then?

That would suggest XB1 sold 394,000 units in July which they didn't else they would be singing it from the rooftops

They're clearly referring to the doubling of sales that happened in June

Has the Xbox One beat the PS4 at all yet? If so, which month?

December 2013 by about 50k during heavy PS4 shortages

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Well, they you have it. Wow.

what the fuck!
