Can't wait for the day NPD starts tracking digital sales, though that might be a while...
Last year it was the 7th best selling game of the year in NPD. It's very big.

Until Dawn?
i wish. but it was lucky to chart in August considering its release date. September was too much for it
PS4 sold something like 550,000 last Sept. Even with MS being up and Sony going down, that is a huge in-between for potential sales.
Came out the 15th.

Seems perfectly plausible. Sony sales were still more then MS but less than last year...and MS had gains from last year but still not enough to beat Sony. I am guessing the numbers are likely very close to each other.

Well done 2K.
Also suppressed Destiny sold more on X1, I guess most PS4 Destiny players just bought the DLC.

Neither did the NHL deal... Wierd.
September 15th.
Yeah
Microsoft not saying "we won" = Sony did.
Hey maybe Wii U won, did you think of that smart guy?

Want to see that MGS platform split and of course hardware sales.

Xbox's PR mentioned Holiday Line up? I guess the PS4 won.

It's not when you consider that PS4 sold 538k units last september.

New thread worthy? I wonder if Sony is making bank on digital sales.

Not surprising PS4 would be down. Destiny released last September. Interesting that the One saw a bump though.

Im curious if we include hardware bundle if Destiny outsold MGSV

TTK digital baby
Sony's quote in this article says the PS4 led retail sales of Taken King but the NPD data in the OP has Xbox One leading...?
Edit: Oh, bundles?
I'm surprised the PlayStation platforms sold the least given the Saga Bundle sku.
Bundles.

Going to guess the majority of the hardware down is from PS4. Last year was pretty amazing for it

Including the bundle though, they specifically mentioned that in the quote
The NPD doesn't include the bundle.piccio_ssl

bundle copies are not count in npd

Sony including bundle. NPD not
They're including the bundle most likely.
Yes bundles and digital sales.

Bundles don't get counted in the main sku.
On Steam it did 400K to MGS5's 750K.
Warner is also a strong publisher.
I wouldn't be shocked if the difference is a couple hundred thousand.

So PS4 won, PS4 is also dominating software ratios by a fair bit it seems.

Sony will be looking to beat that Sept 2014 number next year with Destiny *2*
Yes, next month will be interesting.
And then the month after.....and after....and after....

Yeah people were underestimating Max. Its pretty much yet another win for WB this year, as long as the budget wasn't too crazy

Did not expect PS4 to sell as much as last year because we had destiny last year .
Also i expect software sales going to keep dropping YOY unless we get some DD info .

Not necessarily. It says hardware sales are down, but the majority of that is going to be the decline of the PS360. Could be that the current gen machines are actually selling better than they were a year ago, but just not enough to make up the sharp decline.

Depends on how many kids are buying on them compared to the WiiU.
On the basis that Avalanche has neither shuttered nor laid off half their staff, I'm guessing that Warner was pleased enough to make a sequel even if it's not going to be their biggest hit in the last few years by a long shot.

Both PS4 and Xbone do a pretty damn poor job of moving family friendly software tbh
