Why's that?

 

 

Anyway, thought you guys might be interested in this chart. Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live debuted at number 10 and 11 last month. Here is how rhythm genre games have performed in terms of revenue generation in the past. It doesn't look like the trend is going to be broken in any significant way on console.

 

If the x1 won by how much?

What the hell happened to Uncharted? Disaster.


Can't wait for that "Uncharted Collections sells 2 Million" thread in a week or two. Hehe


WW its possible but in the US i expect it to flop more than tomb raider now.

So we have to wait for the next big recession to hit for music games to get big again.... Can't wait. 



I really was not expecting Yoshi to chart that high. Really impressive, and well deserved because it's a great game!

Hardware overall seems pretty low given the circumstances. I thought XBO and PS4 would sell more due to Halo 5 and the pricecut. Wii U did relatively poorly as usual. 3DS did pretty alright I guess. Things should be better across the board next month.

Also looks like Syndicate did kinda meh. Both versions combined selling under NBA 2K16, which launched last month, is surprising to me.

That's easily the most surprising thing this NPD.   I'm surprised because I thought Uncharted was really popular and it would chart really well.



Interesting!

For the wrong reasons!

How can PS4 sales and XB1 sales be that low? I'm just as shocked to see XB1 at 300k as I am to see PS4 below 300k.

One thing we can take away from this, while having big 3rd party LE consoles will give it a huge boost in the month released, it also sucks sales out of the month before.

I'm going to say that results from the price reduction will show in Novemeber with also a good amount of preorders to increase the sales even more.

Even if Zhuge knows the tea/data he won't say it because NPD's gonna hunt his ass like Ellie did during the TLOU Winter Episode. Lol



OK. Pretty sure I have almost exact PS4 number assuming Xb one 305K is pretty much correct to within 1000
Based on NPD PR from the venture beat article:
"Console hardware sales increased by 3 percent over October 2014,” he said. “This was due entirely to [Xbox One and PlayStation 4] generation sales, which rose by 12 percent to offset the 66 percent decrease in hardware sales for last generation consoles.”

PS4+Xbone is 12% up on PS4+Xb one Oct 2014.
Oct 2014 Xb one + PS4 *12% = 553,831-305K (Xb one) = 248,851 for PS4.

Better than the 230K extrapolated from Zhuge's deleted tweet, but not much better. 50K down YoY which is almost 20%. But I am surprised NPD didn't comment that PS4 is down YoY while Xb one is up. So the fact is all hardware is down bar Xb one. But somehow NDP/VB decided to say PS4+Xb one is up YoY. Weird and quite misleading.
