Notes

  • Congrats CoD: Ghosts, on reaching 4 million copies sold! And congrats Super Mario 3D World on 2 million copies sold! Other milestones include Madden NFL 25 reaching a million in North America alone.
  • This week's main "event" waqs Infamous: Second Son overtaking Madden NFL 25 worldwide. Otherwise, the Top 20 remained the same.
  • Titanfall is within 100,000 sales of overtaking CoD Ghosts for the Xbone. It will then be the #1 game on the platform. Oddly though, Titanfall's success seems to also be improving Ghost's sales by lifting the Xbox boat, and Titanfall is starting to lose a bit of steam.
  • The latest FIFA World Cup games, which are 7th gen exclusive, might be stealing sales from the PS4 and One in Europe. 70,000 of these World Cup games were sold this week worldwide; imagine if half of that went into FIFA 14 for the 8th gen platforms.
  • Kinect Sports Rivals seems to have flopped, unless legs prove to be great. Ground Zeroes is only selling about 20,000 a week on 8th gen systems, meaning it probably won't overtake Wind Waker HD before the big guns arrive in late May.
  • Speaking of Big Guns, USA pre-order data on this site suggests that Watch Dogs has already "sold" about half a million copies on the PS4/One. This would make it the #19 game of the generation already in North America, a month from release, in the same neighborhood as Wind Waker HD. Thus, it's reasonable to assume that even with last gen versions competing, Watch Dogs will manage to get in the Top 20 worldwide Week 1, even assuming pre-orders slow significantly.
  • Mario Kart 8 is harder to gauge. Its pre-orders are much lower, but are increasing rapidly, and at current rate will be around 250,000 to 300,000 in the USA by launch. However, Nintendo games are notoriously low on pre-orders. Still, these numbers would put it around Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's North American sales.
  • I'm waiting for Japan to become more interesting on the console front before doing a comparison there. If you want me to make one now, feel free to ask. Likewise, I can also expand either the Worldwide OR the Regional Numbers if requested, but NOT BOTH AT ONCE! It'd be either the Top 30 games worldwide and 10 per region or 20 worldwide and 12 to 15 per region, depending on whether Japan is included. The Worldwide Table has been modified to incorporate the Top 30 Worldwide! The rest of these notes will focus on the bottom 10!
  • The bottom 10 games range from a bit over half a million to just under 900,000 sales. Half of them are exclusive (3 for the Wii U, 2 for the One) and half are multiplatform, for either just the PS4 and One or all three platforms.
  • With Ground Zeroes and Western-developed Square Enix games, this finally puts some Japanese 3rd parties in the Top List, albeit only by turning the Top 20 into a Top 30. The other "winner" from this expansion is Ubisoft, which now has three spots rather than just one for Assassin's Creed 4.
  • Four of these bottom 10 games are 2014 titles, while only one, ZombiU, is a 2012 title. Expect these 2014 titles to rise or remain stable in the short term and ZombiU to fall.
  • Nintendo remains in command of 30% of games on the list, publishing a total of 9 of the 30 games.
  • Ground Zeroes is practically a PlayStation exclusive, with over four times as many PS4 sales as Xbone sales.
  • The Top 30 games of the generation have sold a bit over 44 million copies worldwide.
  • Over 14 million of these are published by Nintendo for the Wii U, but the only other big publisher for that platform is Ubisoft, with over 1 million sales on the Wii U between its three titles, including the exclusive ZombiU.
  • Off the Wii U, Electronic Arts dominates, with a bit over half of third party sales on the PS4 and Xbone. For example, EA's four multiplatform titles on the PS4 (Madden, FIFA, Need for Speed, and Battlefield) have sold a combined 5.17 million, compared to the 6.86 million sold by every other third party represented here, including Ubisoft and Activision, combined.
  • On the Xbone, EA games actually DO outnumber the rest of third party support combined, thanks in large part to the presence of the massive Titanfall.
  • Rayman Legends is the #31 game, with about half a million sales.
