PlayStation 4 Sales Jump 106% On The Back Of InFamous: Second Son

Following last week’s claims of a 96% spike in sales of Xbox One thanks to Titanfall, MCV are reporting that PS4 gained an extra 106% in sales thanks to InFamous: Second Son.

As I pointed out seven days ago, we do not know what the sales of the Xbox One were the week before, and indeed the sales of the PS4 last week, so a percentage sales increase is rather useless. PS4 sales were said to have rose 74% during the Titanfall launch, so this is another 104% on top of that which is, uhm, lots.

Both consoles are suffering shortages, however Sony released some more stock in the UK which is bound to have helped. Amazon has finally got some consoles for sale including the InFamous bundle.

To summarise, lots of consoles being sold which is a good thing.

    • Yeah I don’t have the Internet in the new flat so no Sky Player. No Sky Player means no football. No football and no Internet means Good story line completed by 6pm on Sunday (and I didn’t play any on Saturday)

  3. PS4 is on fire. Long may it continue. Greatness arrived :-)

    • It will, especially as there are some good releases in the next couple of months.

  4. I’m 27% happier about this news than I was about the news about the XB One, but last week that figure was down 67% from the week before so I’m still at a net loss. It’s good to know that the percentages are on the up though, I’m 100% sure that’s good news.

  5. How can a console thats supposedly sold out everywhere increase 106%?, strange

    • Wasn’t sold out in Game in Brighton, I bought one last Thursday. I contributed to a statistic, yessss!

      • you must’ve got the last one!

        Seriously though, i hope you enjoy your purchase. aint nothing like that brand new console straight out the box feeling, a once every 6-8 year moment of unbridled joy, unless its broken

  6. Delsin is beyond annoying. Just wanna give him a slap! Apart from that, loving it so far!

    • What dude, I think Delsin is cool, young hip, IDGAF attitude that’s your typical kid on the road just no beanie hat just tattooes

  7. Shuhei Yoshidas penis rose 52% upon hearing the news. Apparently…

    • Made me chuckle, I’ll give you that.

    • From what angle was the starting point though?……

  8. Statistics are like women:Mirrors of the purest virtue and truth, or whores to use as one pleases (Theodor Billroth).

    I cannot argue with that….
