Sunset Overdrive did pretty bad considering all the factors.
Forza Horizon 2 did ok since it outsold Driveclub and the racing genre is in the decline atm.
Halo MCC did good, and will continue to do good with the install base of the XB1 increasing. |
It did? Can't find any evidence of that.
DC and DH2 released before the onslaught of games, still not at the best time. SO and even worse LBP3 got stuck right in the middle of the big hitters. At least they both have bundles to get some copies out there.

There are tidbits of evidence.
Vgchartz says Forza Horizon 2 is .73m. and Driveclub at .67m. However in the NPD thread Driveclub was found to be 150k overtracked.

That makes first month Forza Horizon 2 with a few days at 120k, and Driveclub with whole month at 50k. With the only evidence we have then Forza Horizon 2 outsold Driveclub.

That's not really evidence. Europe has the bulk of the sales, and the digital version was a lot cheaper, especially in Europe. If it only sold 50K the servers would have been fine... The only evidence I see is that DC is nr 1 in the psn charts.

Very rough estimate could be by trophy rarity and the leaderboards, I found someone who recently reached lvl 50 at position 5081, trophy for level 50 is at 0.8%, makes it over 630k total entries. I guess the .67m is not far off. Btw FH2 is at 0.49m according to Vgchartz, I guess you added the 360 version?

NPD is evidence. You have no evidence for Europe sales. There will rarely be any evidence for digital sales. It did only sell 50k in US, via NPD. That means it is 150k overtracked, putting it near the X1 version alone.
Leaderboards put FH2 at 760k so with that number it outsold your 630k number. But I do not like using Leaderboards.
