Final Fantasy XV still legging it out in the US. That's my boy! Hopefully the drop for Persona 5 won't be anywhere near as harsh in Europe since the opening was much smaller...

Them Zelda legs!!!! And nice seeing UC4 as #2 that is actually pretty surprising! Wow HZD still hovering in the top 20! Very nice! Persona 5 expected drop and deserves more sales.....such a great game!

Wow so many weird games to have higher than they should be. Also BotW has left HZD in the dust with its sales HZD is finished while BotW will keep selling years from now

I'd hardly call it finished. It's just finished at full price. It will recieve a nice boost to it's legs when they drop it to $40, and another nice boost when they drop it to $20, and another nice boost if they release a GOTY edition bundled with the planned singleplayer DLC. BoTW will stay at full price alot longer because Nintendo is basically the only publisher out there that can get away with staying at full price for many months. 

Yea but then they are making way less profit on each sell, so in a profit comparison it is finished.

So "milestones" for U.S. this week...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NS) hits 1 million in the U.S. alone.
1-2 Switch hits 100k
Forza Horizon is 3/4th of the way to 1 million this week.

The forecast for next week looks like:
Persona 5 will hit 250k next week.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PS4) is going to hit 2.5 million
Super Bomberman R is going to hit 100k

Another interesting note, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for the Switch outsold both of the debuts (Yooka-Laylee and Stardew Valley) combined.

If you combined totals for IPs for the same game on different platforms, the top 5 would be
The Legend of Zelda (81,989)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands (45,212)
Yooka-Laylee (40,595)
Grand Theft Auto V (29,606)
Persona 5 (27,920 + > 7,630)

Since I don't have the Pro numbers for Persona 5 on the PS3, I can't tell whether it would be 4th of 5th overall.

I suspect most sales of Yooka-Laylee will be on the Switch considering that is where most old school RARE fans are at.

Ps4 #1 in software by quite a wide margin. It's really increasing the gap over the xb1 this year.



Oneeee-Chan!!! on 15 May 2017

Zelda won again.

You've been absent from this site for a good while. The site has gone through times when numbers were regularly two months late, so what can be witnessed right now honestly constitutes improvement.

Well that would be one of the reasons I didn't feel particularly compelled to hurry back. I suppose having software alone is better than both coming together as late as the hardware.

Like getting your soup or salad before the entree instead of with it.

Kinda of a shame they are getting shafted with a later release date then. I'm sure there are actual reasons for the delay but real nice start to them loyal fans.
