Forums - Sales - Everything Global UP! 19th October 2013

PS3 is doing very good in Europe and their advertisement is so great the last months. If Batman, GTA, Diablo 3, Assassin's Creed or whatever else, they have exclusive advertisement for like every important game and always "exclusive on Playstation 3" because of the exclusive stuff they have in the game which sounds as if the whole game would be exclusive. Pretty smart idea.

Looks like 2DS did do something! Last gen consoles holding up well, and Wii U is steady. Vita needs.....a vita....



3Ds is doing amazing. Looks like more or close to all other platforms combined.



PS3 doing really well, should end the year with a bang, number 1 in home console hardware and number 1 overall in software this year.

Edit: You guys are missing the point. I guess it would be more right to say highest sales for a game not coming from a bundle, but I thought most people would understand what he meant

It's not about what Lawlight meant. No one here wants to diminish GTA's sales. Lawlight is known for interpeting things extremely... literally... in certain cases. It seems the favor is now simply being returned.

And of course, Nintendo fans get defensive when people start talking about unbundled sales records, as though, "It was bundled" can diminish the sales success of a game... I don't think I have to spell it out.

In the case of the huge Nintendo games, none of them were really "only bundled a little", if that's what you mean. In the end, you will probably be able to look at GTAV as the second highest selling game of all time anyway, bundles or not. Only surpassed by a game that was bundled with almost every single Wii console available.

It still has a ways to go before its the best selling game. Also it was bundled too, and Wii Sports wasnt bundled in all regions. Mario kart wasnt in every bundle. Just want to put those out there so any excuse why GTA being bundled doesnt count can also be used for other games that sold more. Never understand why people that hate Nintendo go to such great lengths to try to diminish their accomplishments.

My predictions were off for this week. The 360 rise in the week surprised me. The WiiU stayed steady also surprised me a bit.

Hopefully the list on your sig is cut very short



VGC is becoming so lazy with updating their numbers on time....



I wasn't expecting the 2DS to do anything, but I guess it did

GTAV sold 29M so far. Looks like it'll end up being the highest selling unbundled video game out there.


It was bundled with the PS3.


Not bundled for a significant portion of it's shelf life like Wii Sports, Tetris or New Super Mario Bros.

Where are you getting your 29 million from? VGChartz has both at around 23 million. Doubt they are 6 million off so curious what you've seen that shows them to be that far off track

Wow Beyond Two souls is doing pretty badly.

David Cage is going to need to come up with something different to keep hes sub-genre alive.

Really? That's less than a 50 percent drop. That's really fucking good. (EDIT: And by that, I mean "not that bad" - don't know why I exagerated there).


The drop is a bit more than that. But anyways its doing considerably worse than Heavy Rain...I would imagine that this will go down as a failure in the eyes of Sony/Quantic Dream coming off the success of Heavy Rain.
