Complacent? They are basically launching a whole new format with PSVR and have a big refresh to the PS4 family, let's not forget thier line up would have massive titles in it like gt and a massive new ip from the makers of kill zone if they were to rush thier teams to ship games. People are so short sighted at times, they will have sunk a ton into PSVR and ps pro and would've had some really mega titles this winter if not for allowing the teams time to polish the games.I suppose I'm just projecting. I have had a ps4 since launch and swore off the Xbone since launch, but it really feels like Sony are more than a little complacent recently. Whether or not the average consumer feels as I do -especially given Sony's aggressive pricing strategies- is another matter entirely. It would be nice to see Sony and Microsoft duke it out some more, because it seems like Sony have already decided they've won and it's only MS putting any effort in.
And?

Bruno, or anyone else in the know, what's the highest first week sales for a racing game this gen?
Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but I just don't see this viewpoint at all. They're the first console manufacturer to jump in with virtual reality, and they're putting out PS4 Pro in a couple of months. Meanwhile, both of their competitors are twiddling their thumbs, telling us how great their new consoles will be, without showing anything of meaningful substance.
I can understand if none of what Sony's got coming out appeals to you, but to insinuate they're sitting doing nothing is insane. They're doing more than the competition -- despite being on top.
I'm a huge Granturismo fan but I so wish Horizon gets similar sales numbers, PG deserve much more than that.

Like all console exclusive IPs competing with an established leader Forza is always "on the wrong platform".I'm a huge Granturismo fan but I so wish Horizon gets similar sales numbers, PG deserve much more than that.
Oh my, Recore just bombed to the bottom of the charts. Holy crap. What's the LTD at, something like ~7k, if that?
Sad to see, I'm having so much fun with Recore

PS4 sales up 380% on back of £149 bundles
Sonys PlayStation 4 has returned to the top of the weekly UK hardware race following a number of cut-price bundles.
Sales of the console climbed 380 per cent week-on-week, thanks to a 359 per cent boost to original PS4 sales, according to GfK hardware figures for the week ending October 1st obtained by MCV. Overall PS4 sales were 55 per cent higher than Xbox One.
However, sales of Microsofts machine fell by just 16 per cent, which is impressive considering the 989 per cent spike it enjoyed the previous week.
And Xbox One S sales remained 24 per cent higher than PS4 Slim, although PS4 claimed an overall market share of 57 per cent.
The PS4 sales spike followed widespread deals by several retailers, including Tesco, GAME, Argos and ShopTo, offering an original non-slim PS4 and a copy of either FIFA 17 or LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens for just £149 - £110 short of the RRP.
This was almost certainly an attempt to clear stock of the older machines ahead of efforts to shift the slim console in the run-up to Christmas, and before of the release of the PS4 Pro on November 10th.

Xbox Slim Showing Damn Legs.Overall a very good hold for Microsoft.
But this clearly explains that , the console with lowest price will always come first in sales, irrespective of the brand!!
Tell that to Nintendo when there were Wii U firesales.
What you call firesales was still too expensive for what the WiiU offers to non diehards Nintendo fans. I would have one by now if firesales really happened.
I mean, £99 should have worked really. I don't think they'll get lower.
I think we figured it was 5-6k first week.A little bird told me that Record sold >5k on X1 at retail, does that matches with you guys' calculations?
Trying to see if this source has been giving me legit numbers for this and other titles...

I have no words for the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 17, that's a crazy launch, by far the best in the series on a single console. Most of PlayStation 3 users have finally moved to PlayStation 4.
Note that Fifa figures are the combined total of Fifa 17 + Fifa 17 Deluxe Edition.
I feel bad for Pro Evolution Soccer.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, what was usually cited as the reason to never buy one?Indeed, I've seen many that swore to never buy it falling one by one.

FIFA 17 (-79%) dominates the All Formats Chart at No1 for a second week, ahead of 2Ks Mafia III which lands at No2 with the biggest ever launch in the series.
Debut week sales for Mafia III are up 58.7% compared to the launch of Mafia II, although the previous release managed to chart at No1 when it came out over six years ago. Forza Horizon 3 (-71%) makes way, slipping one place to No3, while Grand Theft Auto V (-1%) jumps up 6 places to No4, still enjoying the benefits of a retailer promotion. Rocket League (-18%) is still proving popular, up 3 places to No5, while Bioshock: The Collection (-43%) and XCom 2 (-40%) both slide two places to Nos 6 and 7 respectively. Take 2 however can comfort themselves with the fact that they have 4 titles in the Top 10. It would have been 5, but NBA 2K17 (-50%) drops from No9 to No15 this week. Only 3 other new releases make the Top 40 Paper Mario: Color Splash is new for Wii U at No14, Ride 2 starts its engines at No20 and Warhammer: The End Times Vermintide squeaks in at No34. Next week FIFA 17 will be up against Gears of War 4
