Quote from: Legend on Jul 31, 2015, 11:45 PMI've heard that range from various sources. Pretty sure most recently was a GDC talk about sales. I'll see if I can find it publicly.

Okay, thanks. The problem with the MCV article I cited is that it's more than 1 year old and the study only looked at one region. It does give us a good idea of the physical/digital split in the US considering the similarities, but it tells us nothing about the other regions.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 31, 2015, 11:34 PMI buy 99.9% of all my games physically when I have the option. The only time I opted for digital was Driveclub.

Digital makes up 10% to 20% of a game's sales on consoles. That's better than last gen, but it's still not a huge amount for most games.

Same for me, driveclub because it was so much cheaper and also dragon age because Amazon iced up my order and I didn't want to wait a few days.

I buy everything digital on ps4 and PSV. It's a lot cheaper for me

PS4 celebrates six months on top in the UK - MCV

Meaning the PS4 has won each month in the UK this year, including April where the XBO marginally outsold the PS4 in the US. Also, the only time the XBO beat the PS4 in the UK was in November 2014. However, the PS4 outsold the XBO the next month and won the holiday season. I think the UK is PS4's for the taking, so the US is the only market where the XBO has a chance (albeit very slim) of taking the lead.

I want to see when Xbox One will cross 2m in UK... that will say how much the gap growed and the time difference between them.

In a quiet week 'Lego Jurassic World' (-14%) retakes No1 six weeks after it knocked 'The Elder Scrolls Online' off top spot.

Last week's No1 'Rory McIlroy PGA Tour' (-46%) slips down the leaderboard to No4, behind 'Batman: Arkham Knight' (-8%), up one place to No2 and 'GTA V' (+23%) up two places to No3 (benefiting from a promotion on the PS4 GTA V hardware bundle). Promotions, in particular across PS4 hardware bundles, give many titles a boost this week with 'FIFA 15' (+90%) jumping from No10 to No5, 'The Elder Scrolls Online' (+89%) up from No9 to No6 and 'Battlefield Hardline' up from No13 to No7 (+148%).
'F1 2015' (-8%) and 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' (-4%) miss out on the promotion party slipping 4 and 3 places respectively to No8 and No9. PS4 exclusives 'God of War III: Remastered' (+79%), 'The Order: 1886' (+406%) and 'Bloodborne' (+148%) enjoy strong sales increases thanks to PS4 hardware bundle promotions with 'God of War III: Remastered' re-entering the Top 10 at No10.

Awesome for PS4!!!
Splatoon you are going down but at least you are still selling well in France and Germany.

PS4 tearing it up in the UK. That's a lot of big boosts, can anyone find what these promotions were?

ethomaz · Aug 03, 2015, 02:27 PM

Thank you Legend! I was gonna do it when I got home so that saves a job :

I voted 1-2mil because there's a lot of rare fans out there and it's got insane value. I'd buy it if I had an XB1.

Ps4 dominating the UK.

Japan sales tomorrow. Can't wait!
