Regardless of how many times this has been pointed out to you, even again just withing the last 10 posts. You seem to just keep ignoring it. NPD does not track bundled sales. VGC does. Every white PS4 destiny bundle counts also counts as a destiny sale for the PS4. That is why vgc has destiny on the PS4 selling better. That is also why NPD has grand theft auto selling better on the XB1, cause it was bundled with the PS4. That is why TLoU doesn't even make the NPD top ten. And you keep hammerrimg on these attach rates numbers. And going as far as doing an MS PR stunt grouping XBOX to validate your claim. Why don't you focus on this gen sales, cause believe me that is what publishers are focusing on. Starting this year the older gen consoles will get even less support than they did last year. Just look at it, Evolve, The witcher, Batman are all current gen exclusive. And there will be more. A publisher about to make a game will look at the attach rates IN RELATION TO INSTALL BASE. What kinds picture do you think that paints when the Dev in question is going current gen only? |
Well then I'm all mixed up, there are so many different rules for different regions and sales chartz. I honestly thought only the official UK and Japan chartz tracked bundles. I have heard many times that VG does not track bundles unless it comes with a hard copy of the game, becuase they don't track digital codes. Well now I know that bundles are counted on VG, Uk, and Japan Chartz.
For example I remeber Madden and Destiny specifically, people said awesome sales and that doesn't even include the bundles. Or when it showed ps4 on top for Maddden I heard some XB1 fans say bundles were taking away from total hardware sales. Why would that matter if bundles are counted. Overall it's just a mistunderstanding on my part.
