Forums - Gaming Discussion - 2018 Worldwide Software Top 50 after 9 months

Very strong Sony lead, but on X-mas this is bound to change with 3rd party blockbuster and Nintendo inputs.



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

2 PS4 exclusives at the top. Damn...



Great result for PS4, also the Switch is punching way above its weight with software sales



Considering how much digital sales have increased on ps4 and xbox in the last few years, I honestly think this chart is pretty worthless.



God of War and Spider-Man are both beasts! Overall very strong months for Playstation software!

The God of War number 1, thats really cool :) And Spider-Man will easily reach the 10 million in the next months.

Can't wait to see the end of year! Didn't realize how fast Spider-man would overtake God of War! It's definitely happened by now. RDR2 will be the best seller of the year obviously.

oh yes, thats sure - Red Dead Redemption 2 will be number 1 in the Year 2018 (sales figures).



Captain explosion. Was there any need to quote the entire chart? It just clutters the thread. To answer your question these are sales for 2018 only.



spiderman has almost the same numbers as god of war with only 4 weeks, amazing spiderman



Amazing that nearly half of all Switch owners have Super Mario Odyssey; I wonder if this proportion will be higher with Smash Ultimate?

I meant to do this after 6 months but forgot so I'll do it after 9 months instead. Obviously with many big games out the last 3 months it will change dramatically but lets take a look after 9 months. Total software by console first followed by the top 50. If you want to view the top 100 on VGchartz click this link. It updates every time a new week of sales is tracked. http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2018/Global/
