Year To Date

Far Cry 5
God of War 2018
Marvel's Spider-Man
Monster Hunter: World
NBA 2K19
Madden NFL 19^
Grand Theft Auto V
Call of Duty: WWII^
Dragon Ball: Fighterz

-------------------------------------------------------- My Thoughts

In just 3 weeks of sales and Spiderman becomes the 3rd best selling game of the year.
It apparently beat out NBA 2K19 by a HUGE margin.

Also dispite DQ11 being on PC/PS4... and not a nintendo console (3ds or Switch) (for NPD), it MORE than doubled DQIX sales.
So thats good news, future DQ will probably keep coming to the west and release on playstation and PC.

in just 3 weeks, thats really very impressive! Spiderman and God of War are the perfect team ^^

And great for Dragon Quest Xi - its the best JRPG after Persona 5 in the last years. The next big JRPG is Kingdom Hearts 3 in january

Seems very impressive on Spider-Man part and a pretty big boost for PS4 HW.

Nice to see how happy the people are about the Spiderman game :) Call of Duty and the PS4 bundles with Red Dead Redemption 2 will continue to push the PlayStation 4 hard. For us players a dream-year :)

It indeed does it, even my wife that doesn't want to play any game (even when I choose thinking of her) wanted to play it.

Now now, we already know that there can be absolutely no discussion of Labo until after the Christmas holiday. Because all of a sudden for no reason whatsoever parents are going to be lined up in stores across the nation just hoping to get that cardboard as a gift for little Timmy. It's going to be pandemonium, mayhem, something we haven't seen since Tickle Me Elmo. A product that has barely registered in the great consumer consciousness for the 6 months it has been on the market is just going become the top toy to buy despite requiring to have a 300 dollar device to operate it.

I honestly wonder if the people spewing that nonsense actually spent 5 seconds to even think about just how bonkers that notion was.

It makes me really wonder why they said they expect 80% of its yearly sales to occur in Q4. That's way too specific to be just PR talk so either they are going to start marketing it like crazy or they were crazy for thinking it 

Or they will be giving a major discount or forcing bundles.
