Killzone Shadow Fall has not only managed to impress others with its dazzling next generation graphics, it has also ended up to be the best selling launch exclusive among the two next generation consoles. It outsold Xbox One launch exclusives Ryse, Forza Motorsport 5 and Dead Rising 3 in both of its major markets, EU and NA.

NPD has revealed the sales for the software and hardware in North America and along with it, we have also gotten a rough estimate of the software sales, thanks to a GAF poster, who is well known for leaking NPD sales number each month.

According to him, Shadow Fall sold approximately 270k units in its launch month, which is a lot more than any of the other Xbox One launch exclusives. While it can be argued that PlayStation 4 was out for more than a week before Xbox One in North America, the results in United Kingdom show similar sales success for Shadow Fall, where it managed to stay in the Top 10 for two consecutive weeks after its launch, ahead of any of the Xbox One exclusive.

The Top 10 charts can be seen below(courtesy of GFK Chart-Track), the PlayStation 4 launch exclusive Killzone managed to chart in the Top 10 for two consecutive weeks.

So what do you think of this sales success for Killzone Shadow Fall? Let us know in the comments below.

I don't think anyone would be surprised by this tbh.

on the exclusive side of things it competes with... knack

What does this mean?

I am not suprised at all. FPS games tend to sell more than any other genre.

Killzone, Knack, DR3, Ryse, Forza 5. Thats pretty much the entire exclusive game list, and almost nothing will be added to that in the next 9 months. Titanfall being on 360/PC is going to hurt the boost it would have given Xbone console sales by alot. It just surprises me that after seeing Nintendo have an awesome launch, followed by dismal sales due to a lack of games, that PS4/Xbone are about to take the same road. I guess we will find out soon, but there is absolutely nothing coming out to convince people like me that are just waiting for some games to buy a console. I waited on the Wii U until Wind Waker and had a blast by going back to Pikmin 3,NMSBU,ZombiU, and Wonderful 101, but I don't see that type of backlog being built on the other consoles yet.

Not counting super mario bros wii u/nintendoland then =p.

WTF?

Killzone Shadowfall sold 270k in us in its first month. Novemeber.

Forza Motorsport 5 sold 332k in US in its first month with 1 less week as well.

Those numbers are not correct. Have you missed out on the NPD numbers or something?

         You are comparing NPD numbers and VGC numbers. Don't do that.
