Mortal Kombat X outsold Batman: Arkham Knight without bundles so that means Batman is below 1.25m without bundles but above 1.5m with bundled copies because we know it outsold Batman: Arkham City.


i thought that meant that including bundles it outsold MKX LTD, not just first month. But I dont know  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah you may be right!

I think so, they say 

'Arkham Knight is the second best-selling game of 2015 behind Mortal Kombat X, and first if hardware bundles are included.'

I think they'd say 'biggest launch' or something if it was just first month.

But who knows? Hopefully we'll get numbers from neogaf soon anyway to end all confusion.



hoggin' all the action, I see...

Never underestimate how much MS will push and advertise Gears in the coming month and don't underestimate how big Gears is. Plus its not just a simple remaster as the cutscenes have been completely reworked and a lot of new things have been added but I suppose it is hard to gauge just how big it will be. Obviously it won't be as big as MCC in selling consoles but that was as big as you could get with a remake, but I doubt it will go unnoticed like the gow 3 remaster.

Gears Remaster is absoluyely not a remake, its name tels very well what it is


I said it isn't a simple remaster not that its a remake. Simple remasters usually just get it up to 1080p and 60 frames and add photo mode or something. This does that plus all the cutscenes have been redone as well as the score and team deathmatch and king of the hill have been added to multi with numerous other tweaks thrown into the mix such as spotting etc.

Anyone else surprised about how well Lego Jurassic World is doing? Hot damn

Yeah I am. Its even more surprising since lego games cost $15-20 just 6 months after they release.

Nintendo has killed the Wii U with all the NX releasing next year rumours. It looks like a Sega Saturn with a bit more of support if some games are released both on NX and Wii U (perhaps NX is Wii U backwards compatible).

I think if Nintendo had said the Wii U was going to be their only home console till XMas of 2017 it would have sold more the last 2 months.

"The report revealed that Arkham Knight is the second best-selling game of 2015 behind Mortal Kombat X, and first if hardware bundles are included. Arkham Knight exceeded sales of 2011's Batman: Arkham City. Additionally, the NPD report notes that the PlayStation 4 version of Arkham Knight "had the highest sales for a single SKU across any Batman game since NPD has been tracking the industry."

So basically that means it beat Arkham City on 360. I have no idea how much NPD says Akrham City sold on 360 back then but VGC has it at 681K. However VGC combined Arkham City games for Oct 2011 is only 1.32 million, so it's almost 200K short. I would think at least 100K of that 200K shortfall would go to 360 which would make 360 ~781K. So from NPD we can be pretty sure that PS4 AK > 780K without bundles counted --> Xb one + PC <470K, given AK<MKX LTD (~1.25M). 780K PS4 ~65% of 1.2M. So seems like 65%PS4/35% Xb one +PC is about right. I assume we can almost ignore PC physical sales since the game was totally broken on PC and hardly anyone buys PC games physical anyway so probably <1% is PC.

More support than the Sega Saturn?  Maybe more support than the N64.
