if Xbox lose December some heads are going to roll.

why would heads roll ? Even if Ps4 did 2 million and Xbox did 1.5 would that still not be enough ?

 

[Aceofspades]

Wut?

Why?

Microsoft and Sony are both doing great.

I honestly don't get posts like this. Is it a meme or is the sarcasm meter broken here?

when you look at it from a grander scales of WW sales, Sony is doing great, Microsoft not so much. also losing your biggest market to Sony is seriously bad thing.

 

[Raist]

Ubi has never been close to EA or Activision in size.

Wait, as a company?
They have more employees than either of these 2 dude.

 

[Yabberwocky]

It's great to see both consoles doing so well! I'm glad poor Syndicate charted, at least.

No one would believe the old gen number

I'm guessing 20k.

 

[Bluenoser]

No one would believe the old gen number

<75k combined.

US launch month

Tomb Raider [All Formats] - 644,000
Rise of the Tomb Raider [All Formats] - 200,000 (-69%)

Bonus

Tomb Raider [Xbox 360] - 348,000
Rise of the Tomb Raider [All Formats] - 200,000 (-43%)

UK first week launch

(100%)

Tomb Raider [ALL Formats] - 206,500
Rise of the Tomb Raider [All Formats] - 44,000 (-79%)

Bonus

Tomb Raider [Xbox 360] - 103,000
Rise of the Tomb Raider [Xbox One] - 37,400 (-64%)
Rise of the Tomb Raider [All Formats] - 44,000 (-57%)

Edit: When I was doing this comparison I though that CosmicQueso was referring to Rise of the Tomb Raider when he said 200,000.

Please don't pay attention to this until we have the confirmed number.

This Tomb Raider situation has to be one of the top 5 biggest fuckups of the generation.

360 must have not done that well at its bargain bin price.

 

[allan-bh]

The assumption that digital purchases are governed by the same factors on both so a bigger install base would mean proportionately more sales.

Bigger install base means more digital sales, not bigger rate of digital x retail.

If Black Ops III sold 20% digital on PS4, could also sold 20% on Xbox One.

 

[WordsintheWater]

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

If this isn't a joke did I dream the exclusive games that I put in my PS4 console?

 

[sense]

No one would believe the old gen number

less than 10k is my wild guess

 

[RayearthRob]

Happy for the market.

I hope Wii U numbers are good too!

 

[Dead Prince]

it's all about being on top of everything.

 

[Bgamer90]

For Tomb Raider? Only thing that would surprise me is if NBA Live 16 did better.

 

[KurtSloane]

This is childish, XOne done well, this doesn't represent reality.

PS4 is outselling it 2:1 globally, it is soundly beating the X1.

MS on their beat day never reached that, nowhere near it.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Wonder what this means for the TR franchise. I hope the Lara Croft series continues since I like that one.

 

[TrebuchetGames]

Uh it shrank 3 times this year, and Sony Slowly gained slowly. Doesn't matter who you are a fan of it's contested until Sony can land the final blow.

It shrank twice didnt it?

Once in April by 13k and 28K in Halo month. But where it counted, Sony made big gaps in the months that mattered. Not sure what being a fan of any console is, the evidence is there. The final blow... thats a pointless statement, when is the final blow, when the consoles are no longer available.

So that means Sony have won 9 months this year and the gap has grown by 621k in what was last gen a massive market for Xbox. I see a non contest at the moment and it would take a massive price cut (and remember XBO was selling less consoles even when it was cheaper than PS4).

Crapgamer? Mooch?.....is that you?

 

[Kill3r7]

360 greater than WiiU?

 

[joecanada]

I remember people saying CoD was going to go down this year. Glad to see people were wrong.

I was actually expecting battlefront to beat it, but when they released the stripped down version and it didn't review well, I knew it wouldn't.

BOPS3 still has nothing to brag about though with their absolutely shit servers, lag, hit detection....

In other news, I am kind of surprised at all the "good job Halo" posts for charting... I mean wasn't charting a given? Wouldn't Halo be a complete lock for top spot or top 3 normally? I don't see it as a big result for them.... maybe I am out of touch.

75k

 

[Kyoufu]

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

MS isn't going to get (m)any more AAA exclusives from here on out unless they fully fund them from the ground up.

No 3rd party in their right mind would go ahead with an exclusivity deal at this point unless Microsoft pay their asking price, which is going to be far too expensive now.

 

[Primethius]

If this isn't a joke did I dream the exclusive games that I put in my PS4 console?

Probably wasn't a game that fit this criteria:

 

[Kagari]

Out of curiosity, was SE happy with the LTD numbers? Here's hoping for some more Type-improved FFs.

They somehow shipped a million so I would assume so.

 

[shinobi602]

Close to 200K for Rise of the Tomb Raider? Jesus christ.

 

[mangochutney]

watch microsoft.

$249 Flash deal until january. then until february. and then official price drop to $249 after. it'll be 2014 all over again

I don't think MS will be unhappy with 1.5m versus 1.25m if that ratio continues.

 

[Mahonay]

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

Uh what? AAA multiplatform games sold extremely well on PS4, the games that make up the majority of the market. No one is buying the PS4 just for indies. Sony has next year lined up with plenty of AAA exclusives.

 

[Kralamoonard]

holy shit lmao

 

[freefornow]

Pretty big drop off's...

I hope people actually buy it when it comes to PC/PS4.

Yeah, you guys are in for a real treat. It' a gem.

 

[ryan299]

I Dont think 343 killed halo it was bungie. Destiny is a innovation over halo. And In the end the only people capable of killing halo was the people who made halo

Bungie started the downfall but 343 continued. They knew people hated Reach but they went even further with it in 4, then had the MCC problems. And then 5 has the worse story in the series, with a marketing campaign dedicated to something that isn't even a main focus of the story.

343 did the damage. Destiny really has nothing to do with it.

 

[opticalmace]

quoting myself for new page ...

Give it.... maybe 5-6 hours.

 

[Chobel]

I wonder what Chobel thinks of the awful PS4 bundle Sony had in November.

It was another wrong opinion :/

 

[allan-bh]

No one would believe the old gen number

Less than 15k

 

[3rdamention]

Yeah, Aaron Greenberg. He's the salt of the Earth. Except maybe more salty.

He hasn't tweeted one time today

Yes!
The second one. Perfect!

Give it.... maybe 5-6 hours.

ok thanks

I am waiting anxiously for MS PR. I imagine it will be a Lovecraftian twisting of words and numbers the likes of which we have never seen.

 

[Mister Megative]

It was another wrong opinion :/

That new avatar is my favorite.

 

[GamerJM]

Great numbers on the PS4/X1's part. It seems like we're starting to see a shift to more holiday-focused holiday numbers.

Not surprised at Tomb Raider though.

 

[Kralamoonard]

No one would believe the old gen number

~60K?

Holy shit.

 

[xxracerxx]

Wonder what this means for the TR franchise. I hope the Lara Croft series continues since I like that one.

I think we will see RotTR on PS4/PC sooner than what they said. They will also not do exclusive deals for the next game.

 

[Pancake Mix]

I wonder how the date for TR was picked. Crazy.

This is a personal guess and I know nothing but I imagine Square Enix wanted it out as fast as possible so they can release it on PC and PS4 while it still looks as visually impressive as possible. Xbox One is a close #2 in the US but far lower in other Western markets as well as Japan.

If Microsoft paid the whole budget I don't know how bad this actually is for Square Enix, but it's still hugely disappointing. Lara Croft is one of gaming's most iconic characters.

 

[Cess007]

The Artisan avatar being used by other people is confusing @_@!

Edit. LOL Chobel, man, you really need to stop making those bets

(gif by Kyonashi)

holy shit. That's real?

 

[vinnygambini]

They somehow shipped a million so I would assume so.

They did mention TYPE-O in their IR presentation being satisfied with the results so I would assume so as well; TR is a huge bummer honestly.

 

[freefornow]

PS4 is outselling it 2:1 globally, it is soundly beating the X1.

MS on their beat day never reached that, nowhere near it.

Edit: I dun goofed!
