NPD says NBA 2K16 sold a bit more than 1.1 million physically, sooooooo..... I mean, I know that these numbers are global, but do you honestly believe it sold a lot outside of the US?

Sure, it looks a bit undertracked, because US numbers aren't actually at 1.1 million, but the game hardly sold something like 3 million first week or whatever. It probably sold like 1.5 million physically.


Actually, I think this game sells well in Europe and Latin America, NBA is the second most popular sport in most places after football.

And, sure, I can concede that they overshipped by 100% (I doubt it, but you guys seem sure about it), it still doesn't excuse the pitiful state of these chartz. I mean, they even have concrete NPD numbers (thanks Boutros and others, I didn't know them before) and still make a 50% error at best. After being late over a month.


It doesn't mean that they overshipped by 100% though. It means that the initial shipment is meant to last more than just one week.

 

EDIT: at least in the UK, using UK charts we can work out that NBA 2K sold more than 15k but less than 30k all platforms combined. I know there's a lot more in Europe than just the UK, but it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest European market, and the fact that even there it sells so little should tell us that it didn't exactly sell huge numbers in Europe.
