Nice guy Phil really fucked up the sales for Tomb Raider with his super honesty. 😆

Do you think there is chance the game comes out sooner on PS4 if the numbers don't get better during the holidays?

No. It's a contract, if MS says Square can't release it before a year, then they can't.

I'll say it again: CoD numbers seem awfully low, considering we know it sold substantially more than both Ghosts and Advanced Warfare. Oh well, guess we just have to wait for NPD. Maybe it's because of digital though...

Yeah, it will be digital. We know that PS4 owners buy far more games digitally and COD is very popular in the US, so at least 35% - 45% of digital sales are not counted.

Thats some stacked logic there. :)



I'm not quite sure how PS4 goes up week on week and Xb one goes down week on week when the previous week had a significant PS4 bundle releasing, and this week MS had a significant bundle releasing and a less significant than it should have been exclusive game releasing.

 

Also 7 Nov chart looks odd:

PlatformWeekly (change)Total
XOne 148,367 (+8%) 8,652,277
PS4 129,272 (+82%) 9,539,061

So on the week the BO3 bundle drops PS4 sells a lot less than XB one, and Xb one sells more the week after Halo 5 than the week of Halo 5, when all the Halo 5 bundle pre-orders would have been added on to actual Xb one sales on that week.

Halo 5 only has a 50% week on week drop in USA and UK. Being the two biggest Halo countries, this is good for Halo 5 legs. Combining to ~111K this should translate into about 150K global if RoW outside USA and UK sells in relative proportion to week 2.

We know that Starcraft sold at least 1 million in it's first weekend.



Also :-o at FO4 week 1 on Xb one > Halo 5 LTD after 3 weeks in the UK. I do hope digital sales reverses that.

In the USA Xb one FO4 LTD after 2 weeks is likely to be ahead of Halo 5 LTD. This may be the first time ever that a Fallout game outsells a main sequence Halo game on Xbox.

Which was really good considering it laucnhed the same day as two other AAA games and is likely to be near the 2 mil mark, overall pretty good for the franchise.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

Tomb Raider did much worse than I thought it would. I'm impressed.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
