Gears of War (X360, 2 weeks to 1 million, LTD 6.07 Million) (Thanks KHFan)

Destiny (PS4, 1 day to 1 million, LTD sales 4.71 million. Not classed as a shooter on VGC, but come on its FPS!)

Titanfall (XB one, 2 weeks to 1 million, LTD sales 2.8 million)

Splatoon (Wii U, ~4 weeks to 1 million)

...

Probably Halo: CE (Xb og)?

Whaddya know? Quite a short list.

Notable new IP shooters that did not sell 1 million within the first month:

Left4Dead (Xb360, ~5 weeks to 1 million arguably it almost sneaks in, LTD sales 3.47 million)

Bioshock (Xb360, 7 weeks to 1 million, LTD sales 2.79 million)

Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3, lots and lots of weeks to 1 million, LTD sales 4.29 million. But it was a launch title)

Borderlands (X360, 7 weeks to 1 million, LTD sales 3.34 million)

*According to VGChartz data, which only has weekly sales info for gen 7 and 8.

Gears of War

You have done a mistake...Splatoon->2 days and 3 weeks,not 4 weeks!:P

Edit: Also,it surpassed 1m not sold 1m...http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1069202

That figure includes more than 476,000 physical and digital units sold in the Americas, more than 368,000 sold in Japan, more than 230,000 sold in Europe and an additional 20,000 sold in Australia and New Zealand,that's 1.1m!:P

What's your intention with this thread...?:P

So, you're using shipped vs. sold through and splitting sales between different platforms?

Dang, I can't believe I missed it. Fixed now. I hope that's my only miss.

Is Splatoon not sold through? I thought it was, of course we'd know (sort of) if VGC got off it's arse and actually posted weekly sales number weekly.

Yes, splitting platforms. One might argue that a fair comparison requires all platforms to be considered, but I was simply interested to see single platform results. But one could also do a check of new IP sales where the install base is between 9 and 10 million, and see how many games crack 1 million in a month.

Oh Lawlight...Always!

Firstly,splatoon numbers are sold through,Nintendo has given a breakdown of the sales and Japan's are the same with Media create numbers+digital,and  I'm sad but not surprised,that you are asking him why he splitted the sales,he does it because splatoon is exclusive...

When you want to compare a game of one platform vs a game which is multiplatform,you are doing it by using the best selling version of the multiplatform,otherwise is unfair for the exclusive or downplaying!

Don't know about you, but if this is correct, it's sort of surprising.

So, it's unfair to the exclusive but not unfair to the game whose sale is split on multiple platforms? Or do you think that people only own 1 console?

And source for sold-through?

Sorry but my questions are valid.

Why have you bolded that insignificant phrase?:P  I'm not implying anything!

Edit:I wanted to see if by the comparison gives prominence to splatoon or not and what he believes about splatoon by doing the comparison!:P
