Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Does anyone know why it's taking so long for the Database to update? Does it usually take a few days, or did something happen around here that I should have noticed?

Notes for March 15, 2014

  • Ghosts has almost caught up with NSMBU, thanks to its being the #1 game on two consoles and appearing on the third.
  • There are now 15 million-seller games for Gen 8 consoles. Of these, five are Wii U exclusive, two are PS4 exclusive, one is One exclusive, and seven are on multiple Gen 8 consoles.
  • Titanfall should easily be the 16th million seller, appearing at the #18 spot its first week, ahead of Wind Waker HD and Ryse. However, it is competing with a few other shooters, like Ghosts, BF4, and Shadow Fall ahead of it, which might potentially hurt its short-term sales.
  • With Titanfall, EA has a quarter of the top 5 spots, even while ignoring the Wii U. This suggests that both EA is a publisher of hit games and that the Wii U is the least relevant of the three consoles.
  • Currently, out of these top 20 games, 11.95 million PS4 games have been sold, as well as 9.85 million Xone games and 12.54 Wii U games. PS4 owners are the least likely to buy exclusives based on this data. Furthermore, in all likelihood, the release of Infamous: Second Son will let the PS4 overtake the Wii U by the end of the month, especially since the exclusive Wind Waker HD is in a perilous position, and may soon be overtaken by a game such as Ryse as well as Infamous.
  • Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, is not likely to ever enter this list. It'll have legs, but it's currently at only half the bottom games' sales. However, Wii U owners need not fret. The only Wii U exclusive in short-term risk of falling out of the top 20 is Wind Waker HD, and Mario Kart 8, an easy multi-milion seller is on the way.

Huge Titanfall sales, incredibly performance from a new IP!

Wait, you aren't putting Handheld titles in with this, Salnax?

...And why didn't I bring this up before?

No, just console sales.

Because honestly, a list where you had 10 3DS exclusives at the top would be boring.

Considering how promising the PS4 is supposed to be, that should work itself out soon enough.

I was just wondering, it doesn't really matter.

It was bundled in Japan.

Just a quick reminder for people to follow this (and also a fairly shameless tag), it's a great thread which requires a fair bit of work, and I appreciate it!

Nice Titanfall debut though. I wonder where Infamous will slot in?
