Chart is revenue based. I wouldn't be surprised if Crash sold more units than Spla2n.

BotW gonna be topping the 2017 chart pretty soon, can it do it before Destiny 2 or CoD release? I also wonder if the current Nintendo trifecta can remain in the Top 10 before the end of the year (with Odyssey taking the place of Spla2n or MK8D).

Lol @ Arms > Tekken.

Splatoon 2 actually ended up selling more

“Nintendo’s Splatoon 2 was the best-selling title of the month,” said Piscatella.

He's basing that on revenue.

Excellent for Sony and Nintendo.

So happy that the Switch is doing well in North America and also dominating the competition in Japan. Easily my favorite console in a very long time.



Hi

Could someone summarize what went down in this thread for me? Thanks.

We had a leak and instead of thanking said leaker for the numbers we crave every month people decided to go against his wishes with the numbers and argue with him and give their unwanted opinion. So we likely wont see anymore leaks for a while which is a damn shame.

A new person showed up. The new person said they had the numbers but rather "confirm" than leak.

Slightly later they "leaked" the numbers with one request. Not to tell Neogaf.  Hoping to "mitigate" the damage from leaking. IE the less people to know the better.

Ethomaz leaked the numbers to Neogaf. Then a lot of arguing over whether that made him a jerk or not.

Huh... Seems sort of minor. Thanks for the info! :)

Great for Nintendo, its impresive to see that Switch has 3 games in top 10 best selling games in US.

Cumulative YTD for each year on PS4 would be appreciated

I can do that.

The PS4 has as of March managed to make 2017 its best year so far, selling more in the first seven months of the year than it did in the first eight months of the year in the previous three years. To keep that lead going into the holidays, it will need to sell at least 807k in the Aug.-Oct. period, an average of 269k per month. It's certainly possible, with Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Destiny 2, and GT Sport being some high-profile releases between now and Halloween that could help boost sales. Destiny 1 was a massive system-seller that gave the PS4 it's best non-holiday month to date, with a whopping 538k sold in Sept. 2014. Will Destiny 2 have anywhere near that hardware-pushing prowess?

I think Destiny 2 is going to have less of an impact than the first if there isn't a slim bundle to go with that too expensive pro bundle. Even with a slim bundle, no way it gets to 538k, but it would likely be up yoy by quite a bit.



Dont't want to read all the posts in this thread. Could just somebody answer my question if Crash Bandicoot numbers have already been posted or will be posted soon?

Thanks shadow, that is very much appreciated. It's quite incredible that it managed to have an increase so far in cumulative this year considering that the previous 2 years where dipping below the year previous by the mid of the year (even though they had started better, and it inverted the order this year). It'll be a hard battle but as you said it's possible with 3 strong SW, I hope GT Sport return the strenght of the franchise and that Destiny haven't lost most of its appeal. On UC LL I don't think it will push much, but as a game I'll certainly play it.

Considering previous years HW sales and what SW pushed that, what would be your month forecast for the next 3?
