Isn't this about 10 times last gen?

Astronomical growth on this front.
Not shipping units with a comedically low amount of storage has to have helped. Now if 16GB flagship phones with no sdcard support would stop existing... :-|

I blame Forza Horizon 2 not charting due to its stupid commercials that showed no gameplay at all.

And terrible music choice.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
How does Smash sell that many, but not hardware not even come to half it's sales? Damn.

Anyone that wants a 3DS at this point pretty much has one. The only sizable sales-bump it is going see from here on out is during the holidays and the month the new 3DS is released.

Why do that to yourself.

Enjoy the game. Be happy it was released. Just, just... let it go.
It's just not fair. Dangan Ronpa deserves better :(
Retail is down, though much of that is likely due to the digital boom.
New releases are getting 25-30% or so digitally on the new boxes.
If I read what Akan Sharr said correctly then digital is one third of total sales which still puts it below last year's retail only revenue.

Why is it that bundled software isn't calculated into figures? Is that info reserved for investors only, or are they just not important?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Whats up with people talking about Forza Horizon 2 not being on the list. Didn't it release on Sept 30th? So how can it be on the list.

As great as smash numbers are still pretty damn bad for 3DS hw. They really should have launched N3DS in US too this year. Holiday season is going to be ugly.

Pretty damning.

Ok this made me laugh.

We are not even one year into this Gen and we have no clue what the xbone numbers are.

Not sure what is laughworthy. If they are not able to recover in 2014 with a lack of software competition than it is only going to get worse from here. MS best chance is to reverse the trend this year so that they can go into next year with some momentum. Sony's 2015 lineup is looking dangerous and will make it really difficult for MS to bounce back in America let alone anywhere else in the world.

Damn, this thread goes fast.

Anyway, great number for Smash 3DS, I'm curious to see how the Wii U Version will do by comparison.

And is it me or is the first time in a while Minecraft doesn't chart?

welp....yeah thats bad

Yeah really is. Game sales are generally HEAVILY frontloaded and it's not like we are even talking about 1 day's worth of sales here. I would imagine past day 5, sales would have dropped way down already.

MS can't be happy with the performance of FH2. I really do think F5 negatively affected it. Feedback for that game seemed to get real negative real fast.
 
I was one of those that got the white Destiny bundle and im ever so glad i did as it was a right bargain at £349 with destiny and ps+ for a month. Well done Sony.

Yikes.

Nintendo's next handheld is going to perform horrendously if Nintendo isn't able to entice the masses to buy it and play on it over their phones.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Nintendo should have had a Smash Bros ready for Wii U launch. That series is Nintendo's best shot at bringing in core.

Stunned at Hyrule Warriors numbers, but man does that game deserve it. My surprise of the year.
 
Not sure why people are surprised Destiny Xbox sold more than Destiny PS4. It doesn't count digital sales, and Destiny PS4 digital sales were huge. Also doesn't count peopel that got Destiny with the PS4 bundle.
 
True but did people actually think that even the standalone sales would do better on the Xbox One?

Yeah, people aren't realizing that the PS4 has had greater numbers than the XbO, yet standalone still sold more on the XbO. Sure you can argue 'Well that doesn't include bundled', but how many PS4 owners bought another PS4..?

Not sure why people are surprised Destiny Xbox sold more than Destiny PS4. It doesn't count digital sales, and Destiny PS4 digital sales were huge. Also doesn't count peopel that got Destiny with the PS4 bundle.

Do you have numbers for this?
