Sales look poor to me considering SO is the single most advertised game on TV atm, just like FH2 was before it.
There's been more ads for SO than COD:AW.

First week.

I wonder if people will finally accept that big shooter franchises skew higher, percentage wise, on microsoft platforms now.
I also who argue that single player and open worlds nearly always skew higher on Sony platforms.

Why is it a surprise? The XB1 version had marketing deal.
I'd argue destiny has been more successful on PS4.

Exclusive marketing on the platform with a higher user base is going to do that.

The fact that it took a marketing deal with Sony just to bring it in line with the average proves the point, if anything.

Percentage wise.
Id argue a higher percentage of the install base bought destiny on Xbox one than on PS4
It should not be surprising that ps4 has top game sales for multiplats and ps4 exclusives as there is a greater install base on that console vs the other.. It would be better to compare ps4+ps3 vs Xb1+Xbox360 for COD and other games as well.
Some of these comments on this forum... Lets try to think big picture next time ok?

why exactly? How does that prove or disprove your quoted point in any meaningful way? isnt the ps360 gap more than a couple of million consoles?
ThoughtsOfSpeaking

Its the premier shooter franchise?
Unlike destiny, people have a history of playing it with certain people?
Xbox live is still seen as far more reliable than PSN?
The Xbox controllers are seen as far more better for shooters?
It has a offline campaign?
It a franchise that was created by the makers of one of microsofts biggest exclusives this year?

I'm also sure BF4 sold way better on PS4 too.
Isn't it pretty much neck and neck in the UK between XB1 and PS4 tho

do you have any data to back this up?, im interested to see it.

No, I don't recall there being any data. Only active concurrent users are available on uh that Battlefield online thing.
Edit: I guess there's this http://bf4central.com/2014/05/battlefield-4-sells-7-million-2-still-playing/

Last time we got any data, im sure there is a similar percentage between the 2 in the UK as the US.
The PS4 is like 25% ahead.
The number of consoles sold disparity between ps3 and xbox360 doesn't mean anything. Last Gen xbox360 was the COD console of choice. Thus, when making comparisons and general statements, one cannot forget that the last ten install base is what about 80mil per each console? I do not know the exact number, but it is far greater than any current Gen console install base.
ThoughtsOfSpeaking

That doesn't include users not connected to the internet though does it?
Which has nothing to do with last gen to current gen migration, which is what you were responding to.
There may be less x1s than ps4s(400k difference?) but there are far less ps3s than 360 in the UK. So adding them together makes no sense. 360 is at 9mil and PS3 a few million behind which kinda skews the results don't you think?
What about the fact that even with a similar deal with Microsoft, Xbox One version couldn't outsell PS4 version?
I'd say it's clearly down to the obvious reason that the Xbox audience has always been heavily skewed towards shooters... ridiculously so in fact. I don't recall there ever being a similarly heavy skew for the Playstation audience in any one game type's direction being apparent in gens past (Could be wrong of course).
It's not really surprising that a higher percentage of Xbox owners would gravitate towards shooters in my view.

So, this means it shouldn't be that higher than Ghosts' initial launch, right? And this despite launching on both old and current gen at the same time, one more day tracked, and the Day Zero Edition...
...but we need to see digital sales.

Fighting games and Japanese action/adventure games (including FF) skewed higher on Playstation. At the beginning of the gen, racing games did as well. PES also did aberrantly well on PS3 compared to 360.
The first comment/remark I responded to was the one made about people leaving Xbox brand, with the ps4 and Xbox one sales for COD as proof for that statement. Which is ridiculous statement to make.
See my first post...post 65. Thus last few statements basically call out his comment as fanboyish.
Yeah, I thought it might be a bit more spread out there.

EA access means comparing EA games is pointless.

10% discount to buy from online store, early access so the game is just there.
Needed the support of NetMums obviously.

With the digital prices in the UK i doubt it even makes up 10% of the sales.

I agree for later week's figures but those buying on day one with EA Access and pre-loaded are going to be a significant number.
Digging through old threads, we have the following week 1 numbers estimates:
Destiny 400k
WNO 82k
TF 125k
So CoD:AW ~690k
That's way lower than the first week figure for Ghosts, which we know AW outsold... so either Ghosts was overestimated, and some of these three titles were underestimated.

I have revised our Call of Duty: Ghosts estimate and it was pretty spot on.
(100%)
[Week 45] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 775,000 / NEW
[Week 46] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 186,000 / 961,000 (-76%)
[Week 47] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 156,240 / 1,117,240 (-16%)
[Week 48] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 207,799 / 1,325,039 (+33%)
[Week 49] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 211,955 / 1,536,994 (+2%)
[Week 50] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 167,444 / 1,704,438 (-21%)
[Week 51] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 179,165 / 1,883,603 (+7%)
[Week 52] CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 136,165 / 2,019,768 (-24%)
According to Chart-Track, Call of Duty: Ghosts sold 1,991,994 units in 2013. We were off by only 28,000 units.
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/gta-...ct-of-2013-call-of-duty-falls-to-no-5/0126323
Thanks to MCV magazine we later learn that Destiny did around 417,100 (95%) units. Maybe Titanfall was a bit underestimated.
Again, mind as well add Sweden's week 44, since we won't be seeing Week 45 until next week.

I will have to try this farming simulator for myself, pity I will be too busy with so many other games, but I may find a quiet morning or two one day after the steam sales at Xmas. It sounds amazing always wanted to run my own farm and now I can do so without getting up at 4 am to feed the chickens.

I update Swedish, Finnish, Australian and New Zealand charts during the weekend. They aren't a week behind.

Interesting week. AW seems to be suffering from Ghosts failures or just general franchise fatigue. SO's drop is actually pretty good, as 2nd week percentage drops are often in the mid-70's to low-80's range. Does depend on what Week 1 sales were for it to be truly good but certainly doesn't seem bad at least in the UK
Glad to see Shadow of Mordor holding somewhat on the charts. It's a pretty great first effort by monolith
