This is an amazing result for the first full month of my NPD predicting tool !

Tool result for april : 1) PS4 : 716.6 points/day (1.0) ; 2) NS : 359.3 points/day (0.50) ; 3) XBO : 242.8 points/day (0.34)
NPD Results : 1) PS4 : 326k (1.0) ; 2) NS : 171k (0.52) ; 3) XBO : 134k (0.41)

I was not expecting to be that close. Well, it may be pure luck well but this is an encouraging start.

Here is the thread for those who might be interested :

Wow, well done sir! I think XBO was likely inflated due to Walmart. Walmart’s bestsellers list is whack. I really think something’s not right with that page. I’ve seen so many odd things about it that I don’t even check it anymore.

Nintendo readjusted 2017 switch shipments forecast from 10, to 14, then to 15. Seems Nintendo is being conservative in their forecasts.
But is very hard to see these 20 million...
This pokemon game might be a huge system seller, and Nintendo might be planning other huge things or deals.

God of sales! Huge PS4 domination despite its already large install base. Maybe Detroit can keep the momentum in May.

It was a great month for the PS4, and decent for the Switch.Im especially happy that God Of War and DK was the best sellers.Both those games deserve that.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I thought DK was a may release.

I think the software sales tracking went up to May 5th and DKTF released May 4th.

It was a early May release, if im not mistaken.And by the looks of it, NPD got the initial sales of that game.

 

"Top sellers were God of War, Far Cry 5, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze."

So yeah, per the same thread. Labo missed retailer expectations by a wide margin. That's not good.

Given its performance in other countries, it's not surprising.  I do hate this 5 days after BS for releasing the SW charts, now.  Though, I'm guessing the order they're listed in the OP is their rank.

Also have to chuckle at this post.  "I don't think it's fair to judge Labo until its fourth holiday."

That should a huge system seller on switch imo, first great 2d platformer on the system. switch should get a boost in may i think from DK. probably got a light boost in april.

Its going to push some units, but I personally think its going to be as big as Kirby in terms of convincing people to jump abord.TF is a better game than Kirby, but its still a port, and a significant number of people already played the game, and it dosent have the impact a new game has.
