7:1 is quite a gap...

Does anyone have a list of data on ratios in other territories?
All I know is in Germany, PS4/XB1 was 4:1 in 2014 as of the report a few months ago, whereas the LTD PS3/X360 was more like 2:1.

And here are Spain's LTD back in January (stolen from GAF):
Code:
Spain LTD.

NDS: 4.500.000
Wii : 2.800.000
PS3: 2.500.000
PSP: 2.400.000
360: 1.100.000
3DS: 900.000
PSV: 250.000
PS4: 157.000
WiU: 80.000
XBO: 35.000

Europe has always favored Sony, but it seems to be more lop sided this gen.

PS4 actually improved... and well, XB1 under a thousand. Hopefully, whatever they are doing in China will improve their worlwide sales.
 
Yeah my bad, I think they only include HW bundles that include digital copies, not standalone digital copies.

I think many PS+ members went the digital route, because it ends up being cheaper (well at least in NA).
 
The "free" PS+ edition was delayed.

The full version, which is discounted $10 on PS+, has been available since launch.
Right.

So FH2 seems to have sold a bit better in the UK at retail in their respective launch weeks tracked by GfK, but FH2 was available for more days, and DriveClub was discounted digitally for PS+ members. But to be fair, the PS4s install base is bigger. I think DriveClub is selling quite a bit better in other PAL countries though.

Honestly, I expected DC's sales to be worse.

Halo MCC has moved up to #13 on Amazon and it's almost a month from release.

People seem to really want that game...I'm not that jazzed on it :p Although I will likely pick it up, if only in my tradition of owning every Halo game.

I guess it's people with nostalgia for Halo multiplayer, and I've never been into multiplayer.

No doubt Halo MCC will be a hit amongst current XB1 users... the real question will it translate into significant hardware movement? So far no, on the Amazon front. I will check GameStop and Best Buy later this week.
 
There's guaranteed to be a bundle, and that will move hardware. It's the best shot the XB1 has at winning a NPD month. There's also the CoD bundle.
If Sony doesn't have an answer to those, then I think MS takes November.

Sony would need multiple bundles of their own, like LBP and GTAV bundles (both are likely bundles).
 
I have my doubts MS can take a month going forward, until they prove it, or a substantial price cut happens.

I do think they'll take some months at some point though. Because X360 won like 3 straight years toward the end of last gen, and PS3 was able to break that streak.
 
So what do you guys think the npd hardware numbers are going to be?

I think PS4 is going to be in the 320k-380k range and Xbox One 280k-340k.
