Sometimes metacritic do help to sell a game. 93 score is doing wonders

Makeing good games does that :P

Look at some of the Wii U games and their scores ( good critic score = / = good sales).

 

Word of mouth > metacritic score by alot.

It all has to do with makeing a good game first and formost though. People need to be able to see reviews/gameplay videos and go "thats what I want".

Well, sometime there are  games that even being a good game isn't enough like bayo 2 for example.  A game that got good reviews but IMO failed to sales.  There are a lot of factors that determine whether a game sells or not but considering bloodborne comes from a nicle series known for being too difficult for casuals, makes me think that a lot of people bought the game due to high score and hype than just being a soul fan just to know what the fuss is all about.

We still need to know the official numbers though to see if people are buying the game for curiosity or they are the same soul fan jumping to the new game again.

Top 10 hourly:

Playstation gift card 10 #1
Bloodborne PS4 #2
GTA V PS4 #3
Assassin's Creed Unity PS4 #4
Playstation 4 Standard #5
Far Cry 4 PS4 #8
MLB15 the Show 10th anniversary edition PS4 #9

In very happy, and surprised to see, how great comeback the PS brand it's achieving.



I'm not sure if the Assassin's Creed Bundle is a succes or the Master chief bundle is a flop... probabily both imo.



Both MLB 15 SKUs are in the Top 20. I'm interested to see how well the series will sell this year compared to last.



anybody have the data of amazon vs npd meaning final amazon monthly rankings vs npd actual hw sold

this months gap looks pretty big between ps4 and xb1 was it ever this big before and when it was what did npd look like

I predict PS4 to outsell XBO by 1.6 : 1 this NPD.

BloodBorne + Type 0 + PS4 domination will crush the 50$ pricedrop... Just what i think. The people prefer PS4, and now that the games starting to coming, it will hurt the XBO sales by a lot, unreless the price...

"nothing stop this train"



@Ryng_Tolu:
Hahahahaha........................
Best GIF ever.
And to respond you, MCC bundle is a flop. I know 3 people that recently have buyed Unity bundle, not a single one even considered the MCC one.



Looking forward to seeing the next monthly update, should be some movement with X1 and Bloodborne.



MLB: TS coming into play too. If we don't see 400k+ this month I'll eat my imaginary hat. I see the Bloodborne CE is back in stock and at #51 and rising.

I reckon that gap will grow WW by around 300k - 350k just in March alone.

ONLY???

XBO will be super lucky if will sell 300,000 this NPD. Usually XBO market is 60%, but now that cost less than in the other countries, probabily that is become 65% to 70% market. so, XBO will be SUPER FUCKING lucky if will sell 500,000 globally in March (we all know that don't will happen)

PS4 have +1M looked for March... the gap will be in the worst scenario +500,000.

I predict +800,000 gap between XBO and PS4.

PS4: 1,200,000

XBO: 400,000
