NPD Sales Results for November 2015 [Up3: Combined Hardware For PS4 + XB1 + Wii U]

Call of Duty sales trend in the US at retail:
*Note: digital sales are increased in the recent years.
21% digital share for Black Ops 3 would put it on par with Modern Warfare 2. It was probably pretty close (within 500k) even if the digital share was on the lower side of things for current gen.

The reason I think Microsoft is going to get those two games is because they aren't the biggest franchises in gaming. Fallout is way bigger than either one of those and Microsoft managed to secure a marketing deal for that.
Zhuge said on his twitter that Forza doesn't sell at well. Numbers are bolstered by bundles.
Here.
He has access to numbers right?
~20% is the actual trend. So, yeah. They should be pretty close.
Call of duty decline is true, but is not SO big Like many people believe.
2 weeks later. Sales were really bad.

Oh god the heat map burns my eyes!

But we dont have any LTD figures for Dark Souls?
That makes me really sad. I realize that they are successful for From but I wish more people played them. Always sucks seeing fantastic games go unplayed by so many.

did we ever get figures for the CoD split including bundles? Just saw a BLOPSIII ad and made me realize I stopped looking at this thread after the console sales leak, so I never found out.
I think it sold more on ps4 including bundles.

The only PR I remember Dark Souls getting was that it had hit 2.3 million worldwide after roughly 2 years. That number included all version (though obviously not PC digital, not that I recall).

I think if the ps4 box says VR ready in big bold letters that should be enough. At which point they would just need the headset.
Btw i was the one that predicted there might be a premium ps4 that will have the external box built in that could play the current and future games at better resolutions and frame rates. Current ps4 owners can just buy the standalone box for the better performance. I believe they will provide options. Sony will probably split the costs so people can gradually upgrade to VR rather than having to make a big investment up front. They need to obviously make buying the external box attractive and they can say something like 4k movie playback support, games that play and look even better. I look at it as an ipad vs ipad air or 3DS vs new 3ds and many disagree with this comparison for various reasons but I believe it can be done if marketed correctly.

I know this is an NPD thread, but Amazon UK really has some good bundles this year. Star Wars BF, UC: NDC and Fallout 4 for 299. Don't think I have ever seen such a deal. That's like 200 for the console!

Yup. Should reach a LTD between 3-4 million.

Japan + US is only 1m or so right? The game must be doing gangbusters in Europe if so.
You do know the breakout box has no performance boost for the PS4, right?
I saw you posted something similar in one of the PSVR threads, and you're very wrong.
The breakout box serves two purposes:
1. 3D binaural sound processing
2. De-barreling the output from the PS4 to the HMD so that it appears as a single image on a local TV for audience viewing or participation in asynchronous gameplay.
Reprojection is, according to a PSVR dev presentation, a lightweight GPU compute task and is not handled by the box.
At most you could say the box provides performance assistance since 3D sound processing is pretty heavy, and also dealing with the image processing is 'lightening the load' on the console.
All this has been posted on Gaf in a variety of threads on PSVR, so you probably stop passing off misinformation as fact.

what about NDC bundle?
Btw any retail insider given any insight on current sales of PS4 and XBO in last few days.
Still says Dec 25th for the UC collection bundle.
Right now the $349 COD bundle and the $299 BF bundle are it.
Edit: They just changed to Not Available from Amazon, and list other sellers for UC bundle.
Looks like they won't get more any time soon...
Interesting, makes me wonder if another "main" type bundle is inc for 2016...
So I can't find certain numbers. Maybe you guys can help me out here.
Do we have LTD numbers, all consoles combined, (worldwide, or at least NA) for MGSV and Halo 5?
Guess that's they reason why Amazon got restocked so quickly with SW:BF and not with the Uncharted bundle.

Seems like Sony wants to push the Star Wars BF bundle now and not the Uncharted bundle.
Guess that's they reason why Amazon got restocked so quickly with SW:BF and not with the Uncharted bundle.
Halo 5 sold > 1,300,000 in USA, and >250,000 in UK.
Metal Gear sold under 1 million in USA, over 600k in Japan, and has shipped 5 million WW by end of September.
Thank you! You rock ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What are the exact sales for BOPSIII on each platform? Just saw the banned --- website, and PS4 has almost twice as much sales. They're not usually that reliable, but in generally they're not off by more than 25%. I thought the difference would be 1:1 or maybe a 10-15%. Right now PS4 has it at 6.98 and X1 at 3.70. That's treading mighty close to 2:1. Can an insider help me out here?

Smart, considering the movie and all.
Yes, then again, they're bleeding some money with that copy of the game for $299.99. Uncharted Collection = $0.
$349.99 and Sony is breaking even I assume, BOIII price.

That's an MP only game. You need to pay 50$ to play the game. They're brushing it off.

My guess is that BO3 500gb bundle they announce recently will be Sony's Q1/Q2 bundles for next year. Those are the prime seasons for CoD DLC packs, and Sony's got the 30-day deal this time. They probably want to maximize the sales potential of that deal with that bundle. Helps that BO3 has been moving so well.

I would assume the Uncharted Bundle is going to be phased out, or no longer produced, to be replaced with Call of Duty and Star Wars Bundles. They have milked the Uncharted Bundle for a while now.
We don't have exact numbers for anything else than US, UK(?) and Japan, but with how PS4 and Xbox One total sales are ~2:1 worldwide, why would you expect Black Ops to be 1:1 or with such a low difference (10-15%)? Or are you talking US only expectation?
In the US, retail only, the sales split including bundle copies is PS4 52.5%, XBO 47.5%. Worldwide will obviously have much more skewed sales in favour of PS4.

Because of how dominant COD was with 360 last gen. I thought the tide would take longer. :\

As long as it sells and Uncharted 4 is coming it would not make sense to stop it.
I added a question, if your expectation was for US only, because I wasn't sure after re-reading your post. Your expectation is bang on if it's US only, but obviously way off if worldwide.

Well, with bundles, the tide already turned towards the PS4 in the US (this was surprising to me personally). Given that this is probably the market where the sales were closest, I don't think it's unlikely that the gap is quite wide in WW terms. BO3 has done roughly 220k on PS4 in Japan alone and I'm sure it's pulled a similar performance in other countries relatively major countries around the world. So the gap, while not 2:1, has got to be considerable none the less.
Edit: Disregard this if you were talking about US only.
Bingo.
It'll be out until at least Feb/March I would imagine
Has there been any talk of a SFV bundle in Feb?

But if even 1% of PS4's population buys the PS.VR, thats 300,000 units sold. That would close the worldwide gap right there.

Nope. I think they won't have one stateside. With UC4 in March, Sony will probably just shift to making that bundle a focus, if there is one.
PS4 version will probably hit 10m sales by years end, retail and digital.
