Looks like Breath of the Wild has a much stronger association with the console in the west -
at the very least NA - than Japan.

Hey Mat. Don't have have a very interesting question, but was wondering
How do you think Mario and Rabbids is going to do? Charming looking game buts it's a Strategy game and don't know if that would have a big effect.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I'm here to contribute the monthly tradition of asking what is the new Tom Clancy Game about and how come I don't see anyone talking about it yet it sales so well.

Is Tekken 7 the biggest drop in a month for a game they debuted at the # 1?
You would be correct that strategy games have historically struggled on consoles.

Splatoon #1!! YESSSS!
This right here is such a fantastic sentence:
- "The launch of Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch, and month 2 sales of Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy drove software gains"
Never expected to see something like that again. A Nintendo 3rd person shooter and a 90s mascot remaster drove the industry this month.

The Zodiac Age top 5 is a great result, especially since there isn't much value in that Remaster at all unlike the Crash Trilogy -- which by the way is still doing amazingly.

How did Xbox do? Almost no talk of it in there other than the software chart

Surprised by FF. Seems to have done well.
I'm guessing the comments in the OP mean PS4 was indeed up YoY. Good stuff.

off topic but my favorite thing about when the game tells you the stages is when Marina does this animation while completely shitting on Pearl

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Can you tell us if Persona 5 has been seeing any activity lately or have sales stalled?
Thanks in advance.
Pikmin, Halo Wars, everything else.
It's rare that I don't see a new Switch go out with at least BotW at our store. It's going to be "that game" a new owner gets for at least a couple of years.
Awesome to see Splatoon 2 top the charts. It seems safe to say that it's the next big thing for Nintendo and they've been doing a good job on capitalizing on its hype.

why would a game that's not a RPG contribute to resurgence of RPGs?

It's crazy looking back at the reception when Splatoon 1 was first shown off, and devs must be shooting themselves in the foot seeing a port of SF2 up there

So happy to see Splatoon 2 top charts. Game is the tits.
Nintendo has come a long way since the Wii U debacle and I am loving that they are back on top. Switch is an amazing console.

The difference in revs in the lower part of the chart is very slim.
Not a dumb question at all!
Strategy games have been tough on console. But, if one is going to break that mold and sell at outlier levels, it's this one.
To be honest, I just don't know.
It's classified as an RPG. letitgo.gif

Woot bought Splatoon and Crash (for a dollar thanks amazon)
I am so out of touch as a gamer now.
What the hell are people doing in GTA online for 2yrs straight that would be considered fun that people still buy an outdated product?
Then again, I fell asleep waiting at the loading screen. I believe my game is still loading from years ago.
Did they fix this issue yet?

Because it IS an RPG lol.
Is Fallout considered an RPG?
lol you don't need an NPD guy to tell you these kind of games have no leg.
Out of curiosity, just from a category revenue comparison perspective, are loot shooter RPGs/shooter MMORPGs a la Destiny/The Division/Borderlands counted as shooters or RPGs?
Similarly, is Diablo categorized as an action game or an RPG?

I'm curious how BotW compares to GTAV on an individual SKU basis right now. Obviously it doesn't stand much of a chance against GTAV on a multiplatform basis, but I do wonder if we're seeing a similar "it's the game almost everyone buys with their new Switch" effect that we see with GTAV and new PS4/Xbox One owners.
