Forums - Sales Discussion - August 2017 NPD Thread ! Switch Won

Thanks Obama... I mean ethomaz!  

 

Anyway NPD revealed that gta V is the best selling game ever at retail in the US.  It actually achieved this feat before August aswell,  they just never publicised it. What a beast.  

 

The crazy thing is it ain't anywhere near slowing down.  It will breeze past 90m and it will achieve 100m in sales either next year or the year after

It was nice having those NPD #'s for a spell. Ah, well. Back to my GribbleGrunger vigil.

How is he ?  Still alive ?

He's ok. He can't log in to the site though. I told him to contact TruckOsaurus a couple days ago, so hopefully he'll get on it.

The biggest anything ever. I'd love to see current and eventually final figures as to how much revenue it's generated. The last tally is from about 18 months ago.

The only company that could rival GTA in sales would be nintendo but obviously in rockstars case it has an overwhelming advantage

Minecraft?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

How can Nintendo rival GTA? I don't think any of their game ever came close in terms of sales.

Probably a reference to Wii Sports (bundled game).

The wii stuff, Pokemon, if you consider it to be Nintendo. Just do a blank search on VGChartz, and look at a couple of the top games.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Can you show me the flying colors with which PS4/V owners passed the test in Jan & Feb NPD results?

Of course.

This is an article on Fate Extella Link featured in the latest Dengeki Playstation, proving that the sequel is at least for PS4.

 

Therefore, PS4 sales at least were satisfying

Ok but did you read my post at all? Your standard for success on Switch is charting in top 10 selling games on the platform the month after release in NPD (North American market). However the same game did not chart in the top 10 selling games on PS4 or 3DS/Vita combined the month of its release on PS4 & Vita, much less the month after.

Also am I to take it that you will concede that Switch sales were satisfying to publishers as more games are announced for the system, or will you continue actively campaigning against multiplatform development?
