USA physical sales of Detroit: Become Human are underperforming against Heavy Rain, but outperforming against Beyond: Two Souls.
Given that digital sales of Detroit: Become Human are larger than any of the PS3 iterations, I would say it's a decent success.
It's no God of War, but Quantic Dream has never reached large physical sell-through.

If you’re in the market for a PlayStation 4 Pro this summer, you may struggle to track one down in the United States right now. While consoles can be found, the system is definitely in short supply, with many online anecdotes indicating that stock is running dry around the country. We had a quick look online, and couldn’t find a console at Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy – although some stores are still taking pre-orders for the limited edition Spider-Man unit.
I wonder if people started preparing for Spider Man release or is it some kind of God of War after effect.
PS4 Pro outsold Xbox One X this month by more than 30K. It's an interesting phenomenon to see PS4 Pro having an overall stronger presence in the USA market, even if it appears to be less marketed and weaker.
Theres no way Mario Tennis outsold Overwatch.Strange to see Mario Tennis Aces at the top.
Generally speaking Xbox is more competitive in the second half of the year and during the holiday months.October 2016 was the last time Xbox One won a month. December 2017 was the last time Xbox One beat PS4.
That's interesting, thanks for the info! A follow up question, do you know how much of the monthly sales does the XBX and PS4 Pro represent? I was hoping when the Pro was released that it was going to be a big chunk of it, but IIRC at least in the japanese weekly sales, it's never more than ~25% or so.
I'm guessing the thread is just about monthly sells. Not the whole sells of the game, I mean even GTV made around $95,000,000.
Oh… yeah, maybe I need a note in the OP about what NPD is. It’s a group that tracks game sales in North America and releases a report roughly every month. Some sales channels aren’t covered.
The chart is only for June in North America.
The point is that Wii sales did not take away from Xbox or PlayStation sales. Either the Wii sale was to someone who would never buy an Xbox or PlayStation(like grandma looking for some exercise), someone looking specifically to Play Nintendo games, or someone who bought the Wii as a second console. Nintendo's strategy was to go after a different market, so it is puzzling when I hear push back for pointing out the fact that they were successful at it.It seems like arbitrary mental gymnastics when -- in reality -- they are competing with one another directly. When one console "sidesteps" it often leads to it being crushed, but on rare occasions it can surge ahead of the competition and become very successful. It doesn't make it any more or less of a console.
People acted like the underpowered Wii was anything new. Heck, that move wasn't even new for Nintendo: both the NES and Game Boy were very underpowered compared to the competition. Were the TurboGrafix-16 and the Genesis the only two "directly competing" consoles in the late 80s 'cause the NES don't count 'cause Nintendo was still stuck in 8-bit? Was the Game Boy not "directly competing" with the Game Gear, Lynx, and Neo Geo Pocket (r.i.p.) because it had a monochrome screen instead of a color one?
This sounds like a hoity-toity justification for 2008-era "filthy Wii-playing casuals" nonsense.
