Weekly Notes:

  • FIFA overtook Nintendo Land this week. FIFA will likely overtake Battlefield 4 sooner or later, while Nintendo Land will fall further behind as Watch Dogs rises.
  • Mario Kart is now in the Top 10 worldwide, overtaking Killzone, so give it some cheers I guess.
  • In North America and Europe, Watch Dogs showed the most growth in the Top 10, actually overtaking Battlefield and Black Flag in Europe. Watch Dogs is now the #3 game of the gen in Europe.
  • In Japan, Mario Kart 8 is the #4 game of the gen.
  • It will be interesting to see how quickly MK8 overakes SM3DW in various regions and worldwide.
  • Sorry again for this week's late update. It's not been a great week.

 

Please alert me of any errors I've made. This thread will be updated about once a week, after new numbers come in.

Enjoy!



Love and tolerate.

Wow, I didn't think Mario Bros U sold more than Cod for the 8th gen! Cool thread!

Also, maybe you should put in N/A for the games that aren't avaliable on other consoles?



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Nice list, but going forward it's going to be completely dominated by multiplatform games and many from the same series.

That was a good suggestion, so I made the edit.

Also, I alternatively might just black out the squares if I can get my spreadsheet program and VGChartz to cooperate.

Brilliant idea for a thread. Subscribed.

I'll probably abandon this thread after Holiday 2014 if it looks like it's going to become boring, though no sooner than that rough date. For now, the results are interesting, and I'm eager to see what pops up. Not to mention that in the short term, there can be only so many games in the same series.

Incidentally, I considered making an equivalent handheld thread, but due to the lack of multiplatform handheld titles, it quickly became a 3DS exclusive list with a couple of Vita games thrown in. So that was the opposite problem.



Love and tolerate.

Congrats to New Super Bundle Bros U! Its success makes my stomach feel really weird.

It was bundled. It's not allowed to count.

OT: Really nice thread, Salnax. I hope you're able to keep this up to date for awhile.

Thanks!

And putting Nintendo Land near the top and Knack on the list made me feel weird. But that's bundling!



Love and tolerate.

Tagging for later! Nice thread.
