France 2020 sales are out:

Switch 1.445M
PS4 294k
PS5 165k
XBS 86k
XB1 78k
3DS 29k

2013 had PS4 240k, XB1 130k. So a decline of 75k or 31% for PS5 over PS4 and a decline of 52k or 40% for XBS over XB1 debut.

Now we have an update; from Spain, France, Japan, US and UK total after 2 months of global release (so Japan is 0 for both PS4 and XB1):

PS4 3.03M
PS5 2.90M
XB1 2.37M
XBS 1.96M

Hitman 3 surpasses its predecessor to claim No.1 | UK Boxed Charts | GamesIndustry.biz

Quote
Hitman 3 has taken No.1 in the UK boxed charts, with launch sales up 17% over its predecessor. The PS5 version of the game was by far the dominant edition, accounting for 49% of sales. The Xbox version accounted for 27%, while the PS4 version made up 25%.
Quote
Some new PS5 consoles were released in the market last week, which had a positive impact on a few titles. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is up 142%, jumping from No.12 to No.5, Demon's Souls re-enters the charts at No.35 with a 166% sales increase, and there were sales bumps for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (up 56% and driven by the PlayStation version) and Assassin's Creed Valhalla (up 7%, but with the PS5 version up 174%). In total, PS5 game sales increased 279% week-on-week.
Impressive week for PS5. 17% bump for Hitman 3 isn't crazy considering Hitman 2 didn't debut that well (<15k). Using numbers on Era for Animal Crossing, looks like about 14k physical debut for Hitman.

A somewhat decent week in Japan for PS5 stock, lets see if this holds or if it was a one-off

I don't know where this 3.9mil number came from, I don't remember seeing it around the time.

So XB1 and PS4 were a lot closer than it seemed. And I guess XBS was about half a mil down on XB1 shipment numbers, which is about what I was expecting.


This is incredibly dumb, only based on games that appear in the top 30 retail sales charts.

Apparently MS announced the 3m number and had 3.9m in their financial earnings.

Aye.
There was an Era thread, of course.  ::)

Hm, not sure why the 3.9mil figure escaped my mind.

PS4 launched with 4.5mil. XB1 launched strong just behind PS4 with 3.9mil due to selling out, but then early in 2014 demand fell away while PS4 stayed strong. This lead to the gap increasing to the more like 2:1 we see today.

This gen we have PS out in a stronger lead, with PS5 matching PS4's 4.5mil but XBS at ~3.4mil. However, demand for xbox is staying stronger this time round and they will continue to sell pretty much everything they ship, so they might maintain a closer gap.

since covid started bascially all the consoles have been sold out.   i don't know how long this will last but xbox will be a beneficiary of this and will continue to sell out for a long time.

Switch is just unreal. PS5 though, that's pretty good. In fact if it was a 26k baseline each week and it maintained that all year then we'd be saying its doing a lot better than PS4.

It has now also overtaken PS4 launch week with about 4 weeks still to go. PS4 had a few elevated weeks after launch, but if PS5 keeps these numbers up it should actually be ahead of PS4 in Japan when you align for the global launch date. And that would be hilarious, pretty much all that doom posting and articles dunking on PS5 when it might actually be seeing growth. We'll see though, this could well just be a high week and it could plummet back down next week.

I would love for people to be wrong.  ;D


Also a PS4 game in the top 10.  Poor Switch's 99% reign is done.  :'(
