Forums - Sales Discussion - Ghost recon Wildlands #1 selling game in 2017

Wait, isn't it the best selling UBISOFT game of 2017 ?



Around the Network

I think Wildlands it's one of those games that without a few friends to co-op through the missions, it's not all that great and the AI isn't all that helpful, but with a few buddies, it can be a lot of fun.

I know numbers are only to April, but we only have For Honor at 1.63 million across three platforms. Even adding 40% to that number, only brings it up to 2.2 million and it's only been charting worldwide in the top 40's.

That is what Ubisoft is claiming but I'm rather dubious.

It doesn't really gel with what we've gotten from NPD and MC, but I guess Europe could be picking up the slack.

Would Ubi even have access to other companies' sales data in Europe?



This is really a surprise - at least to me.

Maybe the hype for these games passed me by but i could swear both games didn't even have the same hype as Horizon ZD, for example.

I don't believe this for once lol. For Honor died quickly after launch.

GfK is like the NPD of Europe.  Ubisoft would get data from them.

Though you are correct that NPD, Famitsu and Media Create don't agree with this Ubisoft report.

Well, let's see. For Honor was #1 in Feb NPD, and #7 in March. Wildlands was #1 in March. Would Ubi have April NPD yet? If Wildlands stays ahead of other non-new-releases in April then I could see it being #1 overall this year. VGC does have them pretty high in Europe, though neither as high as Horizon... Wildlands charted quite a bit higher than Horizon in NPD, though...

According to NPD Ghost Recon is the best selling game in the US and second is For Honor. 



Also played this game with my friends and it's really fun.

Globally in the United States. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
