It does when it's a system's crown jewel like Uncharted. Halo 5 disappointed, but it has limited appeal outside NA, and launched to a platform with only 15M install base.

UC4 is going to launch to a WW audience, to an install base of close to 40M when it releases. This is common sense.

And I suggested you stop posting because you are spewing bullshit that makes no sense, not because of the one comment I quoted.

Stop, take a deep breath, and gather your thoughts before you type.

Or you can also calm down and think for a second.

Because Jak was a staple, and it didn't do better than SMS.

Medal of Honor was a staple and it didn't come close to Halo.

I also wonder if any Wrpg on the PS2 beat Fable.

It can work, it can happen, that does not guarantee that install base WILL mean higher sales. I mean uncharted Collection did meh until ti was discounted and heavily bundled.

 

[killroy87]

I'm legit surprised Battlefront didn't beat Fallout. I know Fallout is huge and everything, but the hype surrounding BF was huuuuuuge. I wonder how close they were, and if the middling reactions damaged it.

 

[Loudninja]

Ahhhhh that would do it.

Damn we have analyze tweets now.

 

[Occam]

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

And that's why you don't run a company.

 

[SDCowboy]

Do we know how the WiiU did, yet?

 

[Vena]

So everything I've gathered in as of so far is... PS4: ~1.5, X1: ~1.3, and WiiU: ~1/X in the limit as X -> 0.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Well we'll see but that seems doubtful. Halo 5 is probably likely heading to 2 million WW already despite the slower sales. Correct if wrong.

...........

I'm laughing so hard tears are coming out of my eyes.

 

[Primethius]

Well we'll see but that seems doubtful. Halo 5 is probably likely heading to 2 million WW already despite the slower sales. Correct if wrong.

Wait, are you talking about WW LTD?

Cause UC's going to body that shit free.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

It should have said "hundreds of copies sold."

 

[Bluenoser]

Timespliters, Medal of Honor, Half-Life, Red Faction, Tribes, 007, SWBF

of the games I just listed, a lot of them were not released on Xbox with some or all installments, the ones that did usually did not sell well in comparison tot he PS2 by a margin of which the Xbox version may as well be a niche title. Some were pretty much remembered for being ont he PS2, a lot of these series had games that sold millions..On the PS2 with I think maybe 2 exceptions.

of course I'm talking about installments during the active years of the PS2 and Xbox.

Now with a line-up such as this, none of these games reached the levels close to Halo other than, and anybody correct me if i am wrong, Metal of Honor Frontline was the closest a game got to the lowest selling Halo Xbox title. And Xbox had just as many choices as the PS2 pretty much.

This is similar for the PS2, With Sly, Ratchet, and Jak, along with other PS2 favortie multiplats such as TY the tiger, Rayman 2, Spyro, Crash, and Tak, the closest that PS2 got to coming to the sales of SMS was the first Jak game.

Are you still going on about this? You are literally comparing the strongest performing games on other consoles to the less popular games on PS2. Why not compare top games to top games? How about Gran Turismo, or Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy X, etc. You are just shitposting now. All of this has dick all to do with 2015 NPD sales.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Do we know how the WiiU did, yet?

The only deal with Nintendo we've heard so far is that 1.2 million Amiibos were sold in November, taking the units sold to 11 million in the US.

 

[evilr]

Knew all the positive Xbox One articles today was controlled damage report due to NPD results. There ya go.

 

[opticalmace]

So everything I've gathered in as of so far is... PS4: ~1.5, X1: ~1.3, and WiiU: ~1/X in limit as X -> 0.

infinite wii u sales confirmed.

 

[Cyclone]

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.

Where are people getting Halo 5's numbers from? We don't even know. just that Halo hardware+software did $400 mil in 7 days.

 

[allan-bh]

And that's why you don't run a company.

I'm talking about Microsoft, not that EA should agree.

 

[jmaine_ph]

So maybe Aaron included the Wii U?

 

[DR2K]

RotTR is a bomb not seen since The Order.

Yeah, but Tomb Raider will sell on PC and PS4. Multiplat is not in the cards for the order.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Yeah, maybe its 3M with wii u as well

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

Not sure where to post this, so screw it:

Btw, Zhuge is pretty much reliable at this point. He doesn't talk out of his ass.

We have zero other sources for China, he may or may not have credibility I am new so I don't know but China? We haven't even got vagueness from any even remote official source, and we don't have any numbers for the other 2? Not even snip it from random retailer? I think China is out of the question for awhile.

But everywhere else yeas no problem.

 

[Oneself]

I feel like whoever signed that Tomb Raider deal on SE's end is not going to have a Merry Christmas.

No worries, it will do good next year.

 

[Welfare]

Ahhhhh that would do it.

What % of the US is Canada usually at now?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Over 3m number should include WiiU, maybe Greenberg just forgot about it.

He explicitly said PS4 and XOne. He had enough characters left over to put '& WiiU' but didn't.

Everyone's just purposefully tweeting things to rile GAF up.

 

[Mark5130]

Major bummer over RotTR not charting.

Also, is this the first time since Minecraft's release that it didn't chart?

 

[Mahonay]

Over 3m number should include WiiU, maybe Greenberg just forgot about it.

So like most people then.

 

[Aceofspades]

The Greenberg tweet is wrong guys.

Spin master is trying to lump WiiU sales with Xbox!

 

[RayearthRob]

Ps4 is gonna smash 100 milion, in fact 150m more likely at this point.

Next year will be the biggest year ever for PlayStation and you can´t do nothing about it.

Oooohh please... there must be something that we can do!

ahahhahaha

 

[Bgamer90]

Knew all the positive Xbox One articles today was controlled damage report due to NPD results. There ya go.

Sarcasm?

 

[Steverulez]

They should make a deal for Titanfall 2.

The amount that would cost is astronomical I suspect. They should continue with their current plan, they'll end up spending millions on these deals and not really get much of a benefit from them.

 

[Primethius]

Where are people getting Halo 5's numbers from? We don't even know. just that Halo hardware+software did $400 mil in 7 days.

We do actually.

935k w/ bundles.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Is anyone really surprised that CoD sold more on X1? The brand has been associated with Xbox for so many years. It's probably why MS had no issue with Sony getting the marketing.

Of course we have no idea if bundles would make up the difference.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I love these threads, great comedy from those emotionally invested in their purchase. This gen has been settled for well over a year now, looking forward to even more focus on the games next time around assuming lessons have been learnt.

Hoping both these can still go strong and Nintendo serves up better with the NX, we're getting some pretty good games at the moment.

I know right. It's kind of funny. The wars make the thread interesting at least I suppose.

 

[Frozenprince]

For me, it's a shit attitude like you said when you do a third-party game become an exclusive (even 1 year) whereas the first game was multiplat and the licence has peaked with the PlayStation gamers ...

And don't lose your mind, I don't even like the Street Fighter 5 exclusive (console exclusive) for PS4 because there are, any doubts, many SF gamers on Xbox One, especially if you release a game multiplat (Street Fighter 4 on PS3/360) and don't release the sequel then ...

So, yes I hope it will bomb on PS4 next year, next time, don't play with gamers Square Enix, don't ignore a community because of "MS's check"

And I hope for PS4 gamers that Tomb Raider will be at 40$/€ max with all the DLCs !

I mean, you have to factor in that the exclusivity deal with Sony for SF5 basically only happened because Capcom needed Sony to FUND THE GAME.

 

[vcc]

What % of the US is Canada usually at now?

~10%.

 

[Mokubba]

They somehow shipped a million so I would assume so.

Great for Type-0.
Hopefully we see another Type game.

Edit: Is Greenberg counting digital XBO's?

LOL

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

In other notes, well deserved for Black Ops 3. It's the best Call of Duty game this generation.

 

[allan-bh]

I'm legit surprised Battlefront didn't beat Fallout. I know Fallout is huge and everything, but the hype surrounding BF was huuuuuuge. I wonder how close they were, and if the middling reactions damaged it.

I didn't see the numbers yet but I'm feeling that Battlefront is the flop (relative speaking) of the year, or maybe the second flop because Halo 5 sold bad.

 

[Alebrije]

Do we know how the WiiU did, yet?

Some say like 250,000 but also want confirmation

 

[Miles X]

Sarcasm?

No he really is that terrible lol.

 

[Gskyace]

Not sure where to post this, so screw it:

Btw, Zhuge is pretty much reliable at this point. He doesn't talk out of his ass.

This data is not accurate.
I don't intend to confirm or deny it, but this is not the data to trust.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Edit ... ehh not really relevant imo

 

[Javin98]

We need NPD_George to give us the numbers! Him or creamsugar, depends on who prepares their dishes faster. Cream likes his pies nice and sweet, though.

 

[Raist]

Well we'll see but that seems doubtful. Halo 5 is probably likely heading to 2 million WW already despite the slower sales. Correct if wrong.

UC4 is going to obliterate Halo 5 in terms of sale, that's a given.

 

[singhr1]

Knew all the positive Xbox One articles today was controlled damage report due to NPD results. There ya go.

LOLOLOL. Can't believe people think this way. Two Xbox articles and one PS4 article. One from interviews weeks ago. "Damage control" Man you people

 

[TheJoRu]

Spin master is trying to lump WiiU sales with Xbox!

It's part of Microsoft's unprecedented partnership with Nintendo. It began with Minecraft, it ends with world domination.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[killroy87]

I didn't see the numbers yet but I'm feeling that Battlefront is the flop (relative speaking) of the year, or maybe the second flop because Halo 5 sold bad.

BF will have looong legs though. Star Wars isn't going anywhere for a good long time.

Syndicate is easily the high budget disappointment of the fall. And a real shame, too.

 

[kuroshiki]

Yeah, but Tomb Raider will sell on PC and PS4. Multiplat is not in the cards for the order.

Not sure how well ROTR will sell after 1 year late on PS4, and undetermined release date on PC. (Early march?)

No matter how you look at this Square enix made really, really bad deal.

 

[evilr]

Anyway guys it doesn't count because its preseas-
wait...

 

[Welfare]

That 11 million number in the original Gamesbeat article was referring to Amiibo sales.

 

[Asd202]

Haha.
