Fallout: New Vegas did 1.01m so 70% increase would be 1.717m for Fallout 4.


It has fine print that says in the same relative days, so its hard to draw anything from it.

"Adjusting for days within the data month"

 

Anyways it was said that XB1 was similar to last years NPD so 1.25m seems like the best estimate.

So halo 5 beat splatoon in the end.

Tomb raider will be a future case study. one of the worst exclusive deals in history and the exclusivity is only one of the reasons it bombed.

Just Dance. OMFG just look at that wii version go! With the Wii U coming in second. Beast.






How long since the last time we heard about it so early.

And Hitman on WiiU would be a blast =p

Yeesh ethomaz permabanned.

Maybe it'll be in Microsoft's PR LOL

WOW, Mods be crazy here.

So PS4 did above 1.35M apparently.

Must have been a straw that broke the camel's back. Because as posts go the reference for the permaban is pretty mild, and I'm rather surprised it earned him a permaban. Still criticising mods in a non-mod related thread is a punishable offence and if its a repeat offence then perhaps if warnings contiue to go unheeded firm action is required.

So on that note. A there is no more undeserving game to have the best launch under a licened IP than SWBF. “EA’s Star Wars: Battlefront had the best first month sales for any Star Wars game, exceeding Star Wars: Force Unleashed by 21 percent,” I mean we are talking some prety great Star Wars games in the whole history of Star Wars video games. And this one completely lacks a SP campaign which makes it a never buy from me.

AC wasn't released this month.. Not entirely surprising. Only thing that makes it a bit of a shocker is that we're talking about a racing game in the US that isn't called Mario kart

So how undertracked is the PS4? 1m? more?

VGChartz has the PS4 at 29m as of November 21st while Sony have confirmed 30.2m as of November 22nd, now add Black Friday (week) undertracking and yeah, well over 1 million undertracked.


Yes.



Looks like PS4 and XB1 both did great.



poklane said:
XB1 confirmed to be up YOY

So XB1>1240k


Best November but not best month? X1 under 1290k then.

Yeh, those are too high. (It's not the Wii era anymore buddy :P )

Wow I couldn't even go like 10 minutes without several people shooting down my hopes and dreams.

Still! Very very strong PS4 figures in particular so can't complain.

It actually took 30s and one post to confirm it.
