Notes for March 15, 2014

• Ghosts has almost caught up with NSMBU, thanks to its being the #1 game on two consoles and appearing on the third.
• There are now 15 million-seller games for Gen 8 consoles. Of these, five are Wii U exclusive, two are PS4 exclusive, one is One exclusive, and seven are on multiple Gen 8 consoles.
• Titanfall should easily be the 16th million seller, appearing at the #18 spot its first week, ahead of Wind Waker HD and Ryse. However, it is competing with a few other shooters, like Ghosts, BF4, and Shadow Fall ahead of it, which might potentially hurt its short-term sales.
• With Titanfall, EA has a quarter of the top 5 spots, even while ignoring the Wii U. This suggests that both EA is a publisher of hit games and that the Wii U is the least relevant of the three consoles.
• Currently, out of these top 20 games, 11.95 million PS4 games have been sold, as well as 9.85 million Xone games and 12.54 Wii U games. PS4 owners are the least likely to buy exclusives based on this data. Furthermore, in all likelihood, the release of Infamous: Second Son will let the PS4 overtake the Wii U by the end of the month, especially since the exclusive Wind Waker HD is in a perilous position, and may soon be overtaken by a game such as Ryse as well as Infamous.
• Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, is not likely to ever enter this list. It'll have legs, but it's currently at only half the bottom games' sales. However, Wii U owners need not fret. The only Wii U exclusive in short-term risk of falling out of the top 20 is Wind Waker HD, and Mario Kart 8, an easy multi-milion seller is on the way.
