You can make the argument but we have nothing to go on until Uncharted 4 comes out.

PS2 being number one had best selling FPS games that didin't come near Halo 1 and 2.

So long as UC4 increases in sales in the first month over UC3, it should out do Halo 5's launch month. Halo 5 didn't exactly pull crazy, unbeatable numbers.

 

[therealbigrich]

Wut?

sarcasm lol

 

[00ich]

Good for Fallout.

Tomb Raider really shouldn't have been given a November release. Too crowded and it's not a big enough franchise to go against the others.

It'll make it's money back at different price points.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time it this if I recall correctly.

 

[Silent Chief]

Wait how many sales of TR were on the 360?

That's the real question, because the only winners here are the 360 owners.

 

[Hoje0308]

From where?

He's probably been taken by a joke that Zhuge tweeted. The desperate and dim alike have failed to notice how obvious it was.

 

[mikey1123]

I'm sorry but jobs need to be lost over the Tomb Raider deal. Who set that release date is the first to go.

 

[reKon]

Maybe if UC4 sucks then TR will have a chance....

[graywolf323]

very impressive by Fallout 4, really expected Star Wars to take #2 behind CoD

also PS4 winning in November? wonder how close it was

 

[Kralamoonard]

Just to remind people to consider digital + bundled sales which are not included on BOIII's NPD sales. Also, digital sales may me more prominent here considering it was the best selling title on the PS Store.

And this is only U.S. WW is a different picture ofc.

 

[WordsintheWater]

PS2 being number one had best selling FPS games that didin't come near Halo 1 and 2.

Those FPS games weren't as popular as Halo or nearly as good. Uncharted is pretty damn popular, it's associated with the Sony brand in a big way just like Halo is to Microsoft.

 

[Trey]

One day somebody is going to write a book on how 343 killed the Halo series. lol

hot takes are in season, it seems.

 

[Fat4all]

TR at 200k?

Jesus.

 

[Sarobi]

I'm not that surprised by Black Ops 3 selling better on Xbox One. It'll take a little more time for PlayStation's partnership to take affect (First DLC + all that eSports stuff). I'm surprised by Fallout 4 selling better on PS4, though.

 

[DieH@rd]

In the madness, the monthly ranking on Amazon was updated for December:

#3: PS4 BF bundle
#12: PS4 UC bundle
#15: WiiU Mario Kart 8 bundle
#32: XB1 GeoW bundle

Not sure it's completely fixed yet, but that's where we're at for now.

PS4 is a beast™

 

[Katana_Strikes]

That's also why F4 sold more on ps4

Not necessarily. Without numbers we can't say yet. FO even with MS bundles could have still been behind the PS4.

 

[Nirolak]

Just to recap:

1. Activision Blizzard
2. Bethesda
3. Electronic Arts
4. Electronic Arts
5. Take-Two
6. Electronic Arts
7. Electronic Arts
8. Microsoft
9. Ubisoft
10. Ubisoft

Bethesda and Microsoft release titles like this about once every three years. It wouldn't be uncommon for their spots to go to Activision or Take-Two.

 

[YuriLowell]

I remember people saying CoD was going to go down this year. Glad to see people were wrong.

Black Ops is seen as the premier series now.

 

[anexanhume]

You remember how much Skyrim did, right? It was like 11 million in November 2011.

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

So did Rock band die or something?

Also what happened to Skylanders? Did Disney Infinity Flop even with Starwars? Was Lego Dimensions Reconfirmed as a bad idea? Amiibo increasing or decline yoy?

Also what about Tony Hawk 5? the sales were massive for that at this store i was at this one time recently at some point.

 

[Loudninja]

I like to know Uncharted collection sales.

 

[Concept17]

Wish we could know the bundle split on PS4. How many BF4, UC, CoD, etc...

 

[Guymelef]

lose the <, replace with =

Both platforms?

 

[KurtSloane]

Closer to 200k actually.

How so?

1.23 and >1.5 million is not closer to 200k.

Stop making numbers up, even if PS4 was a flat 1.5 it would be 270k which is closer to 300k.

 

[ryan299]

A year from now, when the PS4 version of Tomb Raider releases, do you think it will crack the top 10?

No and it would be stupid of them to release the game in the fall after this debacle. The fall is just too crowded

 

[RexNovis]

Never forget.

LMFAO at this! How the hell did he even come to that conclusion? Like what possible logic could there be to that statement?

 

[Pancake Mix]

Re-posting from the other page because you're throwing names out but not comprehending his tweet.

More than 1 million tombs were raided on Xbox One this November.

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/675091109723394049

There are 9 tombs in the game, so 1 million divided by 9 would be 111k, but it's over that, so expect a bit higher.

The game did sub Type-0 numbers in the US, thanks Kagari for the 200k info there.

 

[kadotsu]

Can't wait for the TW101 vs ... uh, whatever their Xbox game was called again graphs.

[reKon]

I'm not glad. I need my friends to play Borderlands Collection and Uncharted 4 MP with me!

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4)
Fallout 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

^^ that's... odd.

Kudoz to Sony.

Bundles, breh.

I wouldn't be surprised if XB1 > PS4 with bundles.

The audience has been on Xbox for a while now.

I need receipts.

 

[Josman]

Every game selling better on PS4 (when you include digital and bundles) must be what really hurts Microsoft, as the profit comes from software.

But yeah, this proves exclusives don't drive console sales and that Halo isn't what it used to be.

 

[Silent Chief]

What's FF VII being episodic has to do with TR?

Isn't Tomb Raider an episodic series from SE? Is there another one?

 

[Radec]

I'm not that surprised by Black Ops 3 selling better on Xbox One. It'll take a little more time for PlayStation's partnership to take affect (First DLC + all that eSports stuff). I'm surprised by Fallout 4 selling better on PS4, though.

Don't be surprised. That's not the total numbers. Destiny sold more software on Xbone before. But counting Bundles, PS4 won. By a lot.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

Sounds like it's time for Squeenix to make a sequel to Type-0 HD to cash in on the obviously bigger franchise. Rise of the Cinque, let's go.

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

Install abse has nothing to do with software sales it's common sense, actually think about it for a second, how many FPS games that were best selling ont he PS2 beat Halo 1 or 2?

How many of the POPULAR PS2 platforms beat SMS in sales on the Gamecube which was third?

 

[viHuGi]

So it looks like:

PS4 > 1.5 million
Xbox One = 1.23-1.30 million

Correct?

Yes.

 

[gregor7777]

Incredible sales for both consoles.

Xbox One is over 1.23m.

What?

 

[nib95]

Which is still pretty bad.

Don't want to get you in trouble or anything, but I know you have some contacts with SE. What is the internal response from SE regarding TR's sales? Also, is there any exit strategy or clause to get out of the mess, in order to attempt to re-invigorate sales, perhaps releasing other versions sooner, or anything like that?

 

[Boke1879]

I like to know Uncharted collection sales.

Me too. Although it doesn't need to be said that's including bundles since no doubt they make up the bulk of them.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Anyone willing to take me up on an avatar bet for Tomb Raider? I think it won't chart..

I'll take you up on that. Tomb Raider will definitely chart, but it'll be at or near the bottom.

Looks like I won this bet. I'll be going on a flight momentarily and won't be able to make an avatar. Can anyone make a Trump one?

 

[Asd202]

Isn't Tomb Raider an episodic series from SE? Is there another one?

I think you mixed Life is Strange with Tomb Raider

 

[Toki767]

What?

He's forgetting the 90% digital on Microsoft platforms.

Spoiler

Even though all signs point to PSN having higher digital sales.

Jesus, I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, given the large presence of sports titles and other annualized franchises.

 

[Zombie James]

Hard to feel bad for Square over Tomb Raider. The exclusivity deal was idiotic and then they decided to launch on the same day as Fallout 4. The outcome was obvious.

 

[therealbigrich]

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

 

[Kyoufu]

I wonder what Chobel thinks of the awful PS4 bundle Sony had in November.

 

[Gurish]

Wonder how close CoD was. I doubt the PS4 CoD bundle moved all that much.

Are you kidding? PS4 sold like crazy, of course the COD bundle moved lots of consoles, what else did it do? you think it just sat there on the shelf? lol

I bet COD on PS4 sold more, just like FO4 on XB1.
