Yeah I don't know why people think #8 is good for a Halo game.

The place didn't say much for me but below NFS outch.

 

[def sim]

That's too bad about Tomb Raider. I hope they find some success on the PC this coming Spring.

 

[ArmGunar]

Glad for PS4 and One sales !
Glad for this industry, the home consoles and physic games

Glad for Tomb Raider bomb, exclusive third-parties are the cancer of this industry, especially when you ignore the historic fanbase of the licence. Hope it will bomb next year on PS4.

Glad for Rocket League, the PS+ offer allows the game to be well-known and it ranks very well on PS Store charts in US/EU, very happy for the devs

 

[Bgamer90]

He is talking about hardware, apparently less than 100K.

Ah okay. That isn't surprising to me at all. Both current gen consoles are great prices with many free games. Really no point in spending hundreds of dollars on last gen now.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yes you can read it in any major outlet site like IGN.

I'm on phone now

Okay, no problem. Thanks again!

 

[allan-bh]

Yeah I don't know why people think #8 is good for a Halo game.

Considering launch sales is good. I'm guessing sold more than 600k, plus bundles.

 

[Xando]

The real question is if the GotY candidate The Order 1886 has sold more than RotTR. The European half year data would suggest so.

The order sold >100k in germany alone. I'd assume TR will not come anywhere close to it until the other 2 versions release.

 

[outunderthestars]

Thread is moving really fast: any numbers for Fallout 4 yet?

 

[shinobi602]

Sony was smart, release their games Jan thru Sept. Let the 3rd parties have the Holidays. No pressure just get a good partner and bundle. So the "BEST" games don't mean shit to the people who want to buy them, they chose mulitplats.

Sony play this shit right.

Big thanks to all our fans who helped us have biggest Nov ever on #XboxOne in US, 1st party game sales up 72% this holiday.

 

[Welfare]

Does anyone have comprehensive data on best november sales?

IIRC the Wii did 2Msomething in its best year. Not sure about the 360 though.

Best 360 November (2011) was 1.7 million.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I stopped because we have ~200k now. Why quote it now? Also, it was less off the mark than the figure from a banned source that I won't repeat that was posted here.

Because you keep typing it out like it was fact when he said he was joking an hour ago.

 

[Pezus]

Can ANYONE give me a scoop on Nathan Drake Collection sales (with bundles)?

 

[Mahonay]

Well that's a pretty shit attitude to have

 

[Frozenprince]

Chalk me up as surprised TPP didn't chart, either. I figured Konami would at least make a token effort for a holiday push of their last console game, thought it could at least beat out a freaking Just Dance title.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

RotTR is a bomb not seen since The Order.

At least Order was a bomb well deserved. ROTR is something like the Saturn as a a video game story: great initial plan, misread the market, sudden worst market changes become reality, internal fighting and aloofness leading to no adaptation, releases pretty much DOA in Western markets.

And years later, people will realize what a gem they missed out on but it's too late to save it from it's immediate fate. Didn't think this'd happen 20+ years later, yet here we are.

And it's actually kind of ironically fitting given the very first TR was supposed to be a Saturn exclusive.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Since no one posted this.

Looks like XB1 is ~1.35m or so.

360 did 1.7m in 2011. PS3 never sold a million.

Install base does not translate to a game selling high. I have no idea how one can argue it does, I jsut gave an example of how the PS2 install base didn't beat Halo or Gamecube yet had popular games in the FPS and platforming genre.

You said install base has nothing to do with it, which simply can't be true. If a marketing campaign convinces 5% of a given base to buy a game, then install base matters. Games can obviously sell more on less popular platforms, but to say that hardware numbers don't matter is just silly, no matter how many examples you can come up with involving Halo (a series with an absolutely ridiculous attach rate at one time) versus third party titles or one of Sony's now dead or almost dead franchises. That's called cherry picking, by the way.

 

[hawk2025]

Didn't get a response --


Do we know first month sales of:

Until Dawn
Uncharted Collection

 

[v1ncelis]

They got Killer Instinct Season 3 in March, Quantum Break in April... Recore is allegedly due in Spring (probably late Spring if manages that, although unlikely)

Probably see Scalebound knocked over to early 2017 if I'm honest.

Beginning of 2016 indeed looks great. Quantum Break alone will keep me busy for a while. Not to mention Horizon 3 and Gears 4 for holidays. 2016 might be the most balanced, game release wise, year for MS.

 

[Ramirez]

Yeah I don't know why people think #8 is good for a Halo game.

It's the only exclusive game in the top 10, on the 2nd most popular console, how is it a bad thing exactly?

 

[Rymuth]

It shouldn't. We will probably see the PC/PS4 version of RotTR sooner than expected I would hope.

Doubt it, going by this poster~

Indeed...

 

[neurosyphilis]

COD fans don't give a damn, they're sticking to their Xbox's. They'll wait on that DLC.

Anyways congrats PlayStation.

 

[Bluenoser]

No, you cherry picked specific examples to make your point. Something anyone can do. You should have taken my advice.

Didn't you use Super Mario Sunshine as an example? It sold around 6.3 million. Halo: Combat Evolved has sold 5 million

There are 7 PS2 games that dwarf both of those. Enough.

 

[Neuromancer]

[Tomb Raider] launched in a very crowded window, but it has done well. A lot of people bought both Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider. At the same time we know a lot of people may have bought Tomb Raider and wait on Fallout or bought Fallout and waited on Tomb Raider.

 

[jelly]

It's funny when Phil Spencer says they won't be doing deals like Tomb Raider again. A case of no, I'm breaking up with you first!

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Well that's a pretty shit attitude to have

Bitter? Its pretty stupid though I agree.

 

[somecrazymember]

Sorry but why is there 'xbox minimum' in the title? i dont get it :s

 

[black070]

Well, hopeully next years 'greatest line-up in Xhox history' will fare better.

 

[Loudninja]

Didn't get a response --


Do we know first month sales of:

Until Dawn
Uncharted Collection

I think over 300k for UC

 

[allan-bh]

It's funny when Phil Spencer says they won't be doing deals like Tomb Raider again. A case of no, I'm breaking up with you first!

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Probably wasn't a game that fit this criteria:

I lold

PSN top sellers:

US



EU

No WWE 😦 I eh damn sure don't sell as much anymore.

GTA still killing it though, that's awesome. Wolfenstein wow

~60K?

Holy shit.

Damn

 

[Chris1]

It's funny when Phil Spencer says they won't be doing deals like Tomb Raider again. A case of no, I'm breaking up with you first!

But that's not what he said at all

 

[get2sammyb]

It's amazing how PS4 is selling like this with no exclusives. Sony will just cater to Indies while Nintendo and MS have AAA exclusives.

Tick it off your NPD bingo sheet!

 

[Steverulez]

Sorry but why is there 'xbox minimum' in the title? i dont get it :s

We know it did 1.23m last year and this year it is up year-on-year, which means we know it sold a minimum of over 1.23 as it did more than that

 

[Toki767]

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

That'll really kill the franchise.

 

[opticalmace]

Sorry but why is there 'xbox minimum' in the title? i dont get it :s

We don't know the exact XB1 number but we know what the lower limit is, i.e. the minimum.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Because you keep typing it out like it was fact when he said he was joking an hour ago.

First of all I stopped after we got ~200k, you should too, and secondly....

Context is king.

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/675093706156953600

He was responding to someone who asked if the game had sold over a million.

Last post I'm going to make to you about this, drop it.

 

[Ōkami]

PS4 should've surpassed 10m sold too.

Interesting that there wouldn't be any PR for that.

US sales of the PS4 should be higher than worldwide shipments of WiiU by the end of the year.

 

[Welfare]

Is Halo 5's first November bigger or smaller than Halo 3's first November (378k)?

 

[Kralamoonard]

Damn

Nvm

 

[Bgamer90]

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

Timed exclusivity? No way.

I could see a marketing and/or DLC deal though.

 

[maximrace]

Such a console war in here, a quite embarrassing read so far. PS4 and Xbox One have seemingly had great months, good to see and not surprising considering the great BF-deals both of them had. Interested in seeing how Wii U fared. Lack of Nintendo PR thus far isn't encouraging.

Yeah I share your sentiment. I'm glad both did great. X1 selling less than Ps4 doesn't mean it was bad. It had great sales too, all those doom posts aren't needed

 

[DangerMouse]

Even though so many third party exclusives haven't charted I wonder what makes TR such a big deal ?

S-E's stupidity of taking a franchise that for decades has sold way more on PS and PC and doing that with it is obviously why it's such a big deal compared to other games.

 

[somecrazymember]

We know it did 1.23m last year and this year it is up year-on-year, which means we know it sold a minimum of over 1.23 as it did more than that

ah like that, ok thanks.

 

[Asd202]

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

I don't think EA is that stupid. PS4 is where they can grow the franchise.

 

[Kagari]

Kagari, ~200k for ROTR is on X360/Xbone or just Xbone?

Both.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

That'll really kill the franchise.

maybe stagger significantly
shooter fans do align with xbox more

 

[Somnia]

Aaron Greenberg @aarongreenberg
Congrats to my friends over @PlayStation on great NPD sales in Nov, gamers bought over 3M #XboxOne & #PS4 consoles in one month. Wow!

Glad to see this.
