U should update ur numbers.
October NPD is Sunset >  Bayonetta > Driveclub
VGC numbers are: 200k Driveclub > 150k Bayonetta > 140k Sunset

But that was a given. After Horizon 2 was overtracked here for the US by over 50k, Driveclub would be the same, too
I think they will get adjusted soon

 

Edit:
Driveclaub is <70k units October in the US. Thats more than 130k units overtracked. Its hard for VGC to track low seller, but thats really a very bad quote. And this is makes ur topic kind of useless. Driveclub will not even outsell Forza Horizon 2 in Retail. Its already way behind in US and UK and semms to have zero legs in the rest of Europe

Yeap... I need to update the table with real numbers... NPD order is without bundles too.

I will hold the table for while because I don't have anything accurate to change the data... waiting some data from GAF after 19th Nov.

Week 1 will be 250~300k instead 364k with the NPD data (bundle included).

More than twice as many consoles sold so won't be surprised if DC does indeed outsell the much better game

Much better game is subjective and DC is also better game in his way other than this Multiplayer issues which can sovled soon. DC deserves the sales its going to get because of its beautiful track design, good handling and soon weather which is a next gen immersion.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

For a complete view you can look at the graph below:

 

DriveClub is tracking ahead Forza but I think it will overtake Forza 5 lifetime soon.

If DC really is tracking better than Forza 5, then I'm very impressed. Considering that Forza 5 was bundled for free for most of 2014.

Based VGC

To be fair VGC was overtracking DC by a lot and the numbers now is way lower than what it was... and DC is trakking~300k ahead Forza 5 in the same timeframe.

lol i can't believe a new ip that came out as bad as it did (great game now) outsold a mainline game in a well established franchise

LOL I cant believe you cant beli3ve ;)

PS4 is 1st place by over 10 million. I hope we have established that. That means that their games will sell at a higher margin......by default.

Besides it hasn't happened yet....can we at least wait till it happens before you guys brag?



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
