If I've learnt anything from over a year of reading these threads, almost all of you overestimate game sales rather than underestimating them.

I think that's true, Gears and Halo have been drifting out of the mass market for a while, they obviously still have fans, but they can't compete with COD. There'll be a certain amount of Xbox owners who played these series in the past and won't go back no matter what and a fair number of people who played them socially on the 360 but won't now because they or their friends now play on the PS4.Nah, man. Those guys would probably buy Black Ops 3 and GTAV instead. I'm dead serious, BTW.
I mean we just had OneS sale up 900% in UK, number one console in September, I thought all these new owners need something to play.
They can't all buy it for cheap UHD Bluray alone right?
I was expecting Aragami here, I am really sad (but they did well on digital )

Are you talking about PS4 and Steam sales overall or just Steam? 30,000 is not bad for a $19.99 title that wasn't marketed much and came during the blockbuster months.
I am speaking about the retail numbers, because Aragami Ps4 is at shops too.
I get the horrible feeling that this is about as good as it's going to get for VR.
About VR: No numbers known yet, but I'll say that having 5 of them charting in top 20 (even if between 10th to 20th) is quite more than what I was expecting in UK. We'll have to see how it goes in the next few weeks.
Just as a general showing for VR in the charts, I think it'll be very front-loaded. PSVR is the best shot that tech has at becoming mainstream, yet we know how good Sony is at 'supporting' their peripherals (EyeToy, Move). I'm worried that this might be the best it gets. Happy to be proven wrong though.
Really surprised to see the warm reception VR has gotten. Haven't seen any marketing for it.
I just assume it's half way since then I have a higher chance of being close.Till more data is available, assume high instead of low.
There was no way GOW4 was going to make 120K in its first week, 80 - 90K probably. It also pains me to see the PSVR games aren't doing so well. I feel like some game won't have the staying power until the second batch arrives (Nov 4th for some retailers).
The fact that DQB got beat by the PS3 version of Fifa 17 after 3 weeks is just sad. The game clearly isn't what people want from a Dragon Quest game. Also, FYI the Vita version is pretty good and I'll be getting that one.
Now we come to the funniest of them all, Skylanders Imaginators pretty much bombed. It goes to show that exclusivity isn't the best solution for games like this. The Crash Starter Pack should have been available to every platform, no one was down for stuff like that. I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons Disney Infinity failed.

Wat. Seeing as DQB outsold DQVII, what exactly do people want from a Dragon Quest game then?
Don't do this. You clearly know I was talking about DQ10. If DQ10 charts below what DQB did, then I'll apologize (If I'm still here and remember).
Then why did it open with better numbers than Dragon Quest VII 3DS and Dragon Quest Heroes?

It's true that being 15th in this kind of week (with several new releases) increase the chances of the game doing better numbers than usual for that position, but taking UK and trying to extrapolate so much for the whole West seems...extremely premature. We have to see how much it actually did in UK first of course, but I fear Builders has low chances of outselling DQVII / Heroes in the West. Looking at Amazon US, for example, even when you consider VR titles in the mix, it never reached the top 20, and it has already fallen off a cliff (almost 80th right now). I know you've been in a singular mood lately ("lately") about Japanese third parties going all out on PS4 and ignoring NX (a bit exaggerating...but you did the same by stating VR will have better support than NX, eh), but let's try to be more rational here.
Actually, I'm pretty interested to see how it places and what numbers it does in France, the best country for the franchise by far.
Don't do this. You clearly know I was talking about DQ10. If DQ10 charts below what DQB did, then I'll apologize (If I'm still here and remember).
Instead of one big release with lots of fanfare, it had two 'eh' releases where it got overshadowed by something else. That's one game whose sales have been properly scuppered as a result.
Makes you wonder how the inevitable third installment is going to fare now.

Gears of War 4 has the greatest revenue per player of any Microsoft Studios game in history.Looking at entry numbers doing in the region of judgement numbers is.....
Wonder what kind of PR we will get from MS if any.
I wonder if MS regrets purchasing gears.

The Last of Us 2 selling better than Uncharted 4 wouldn't surprise me.
I was expecting Builders to do good but never expected even Heroes did better than DQ7.
Maybe with those buyer there are users that have sold the fat for the slim.I mean we just had OneS sale up 900% in UK, number one console in September, I thought all these new owners need something to play.

I'll stick with 115k but can't shake this feeling its sub 100k and slipped to just another largish game. Not that sub 100 is bad on its own.
.
Wouldn't be shocked Gears 4 being just either side of 100k though, so like 90-105. That wouldn't be that bad. It's the 5th Gears game really and second game by another other dev team and things move on. Same deal with Halo 5 second game by 343, I wasn't that surprised with the drop as its been through the mill and passed to other dev teams.
Bruno do you have any guestimate on how many units of PSVR might have been supplied to UK based on the chart? 10k?
It would be nearly impossible since it didn't come with any games. You could pick up a headset and just buy digitally.
Wat. Seeing as DQB outsold DQVII, what exactly do people want from a Dragon Quest game then?
Although Digital is growing but still 77% people prefer buying a retail copy.. Plus i just asked for his guestimate as he process so much data so his opinion is quite sound mostly.

Why?
At the end of the day they still need a few major AAA exclusives. Halo and Gears were very good to them last gen and have been respectable this gen. If anything the trend seems to suggest that exclusives/first party titles have not sold as great this gen. Currently Halo5 and UC4 are the best selling exclusives on either console and will probably continue to be for the remainder of this gen unless GT or TLOU2 surprises us all.
TLOU sequel selling more than Uncharted 4 would not be a surprise at all. I think Spider-Man and God of War have a chance to as well. Not sure about GT.
I think God of War will be the best selling in its series like UC4.
Edit: Damn you Bruno!!! I started to writte the post before you posted it, lol.

How is the hype for Battlefield 1? I can't gauge if it is in the same level as Star Wars Battlefront, lower or higher. It should easily have a much bigger launch than Battlefield 4 but I don't know if it will be able to match than of Battlefield 3.
