Pretty rough comparison.

1. PS4 was out a week longer so obviously KZ sales should be higher.
2. KZ is an FPS which does not sit on the same playing field as any other type of game.
3. Xbox One(according to the gaming media, whether you like it or not) has a better variety of exclusive games taking away sales from each other also.

Yeah, but the fact that Killzone has outsold Battlefield and is right on CoD's heels is pretty damn impressive.

Just checked VGChartz and it shows 790k. That seems pretty decent to me. Keep in mind that doesn't include digital downloads.

Just as a comparison CoD Ghosts has sold 1.02m on PS4, 840k on XBone (that is quite surprising actually). Battlefield 4 has sold 780k on PS4 and 640k on XBone.

So yeah, I stick by my point that I don't think Killzone is struggling in sales. It has outsold next gen Battlefield on both consoles, although obviously not combined. Offering the mp for free for a weekend doesn't mean shit Pete.

It says they want to grab some of the Ghosts and BF4 people during the holidays. Since it's an SCEA game this was an easy decision.

The lack of after launch sales numbers suggest a high number of those KZ sales came from the bundles. Curious how many people bought it just to get a PS4 due to low supply.

This "argument" is moot for several reasons.
Amazon was the most notable retailer to offer "bundles". I'm not even sure anyone else had them. I know Gamestop had a lame post launch bundle that was in-store only with Knack and an extra controller.
But I digress. Amazon had bundles for EVERY launch title. So people had just as much of an option to order a Battlefield, NFS or Knack bundle as they did a Killzone bundle.
They also offered bundles for the XBone. So what was your point again?

I definitely think they're doing that. But you also asked why I thought it would be so surprising that Kz sold like shit.

No they didn't.

Yes the fucking did. They had Knack, Battlefield, Kz, NFS, CoD, NBA 2k and even a Watchdogs bundle. Hell, I should know because I had a Watchdogs and Bf 4 bundle pre ordered but canceled the Bf one and when Watchdogs was delayed that turned into just the console.
I am 100% sure of this.
Back me up on this This Swarley, Handle and whomever else pre ordered from Amazon.

I know for sure they had a BF4, Madden, and Knack bundle.

I know for a fact Amazon had no CoD PS4 bundle. I looked all over for it.

Oh, my mistake, that was the ONE launch game they didn't offer as a bundle.

I accept your apology.

I accept your apology.

Your argument still couldn't be more wrong.

In case you get in this argument with others and don't want to look stupid, there was no 2K14, Just Dance 4, Injustice, LEGO: Marvels, etc. bundles on Amazon either. Do your research before you start insulting people, it's a bad look.

PS4 launch has boosted PS Vita sales, Sony suggests

PlayStation 4′s launch has had a positive impact on PS Vita sales, according to Sony.


MCV reports that Sony has flagged a 68% in PS Vita sales for the week after PS4 launched, then rising a further 65% the week after that.

In a statement, senior product manager Ben Law said, “PS Vita sales wise we are continuing to see strong week-on-week growth since our latest campaign kicked in. The new TV advert went live this week and we’ve already seen amazing feedback from PS4 owners on the Remote Play feature, and the success of Tearaway highlights what an great proposition PS Vita is, either as a stand-alone device or as the perfect companion to PS4.”

PS Vita has been bigged up by Sony as a companion device for PS4, and has bundled the handheld with Media Molecule’s critically-acclaimed platformer Tearaway.
