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.


You could say that Tomb Raider is....

Un-Charted.

EDIT: I bought the game!

Need for Speed launch month vs assassins creed second month no?  

 

Hardly surprising.

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.

It's because he had a restraining order about talking about MS, etho was prohibited from talking about anything MS related.

Woo hoo. Fuck you, Kotaku.

So I guess that means the gap is 1M and climbing, again. Pretty impressive in a Halo year. Next month's gap should be pretty good, too.

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.

But it's just one person then, you don't feel the overwhelming weight of others and the general look of disappointment. Like having to go see the headteacher for kicking a football through the window even though "you thought you could play well". 

Looking like a reasonable gap between PS4 and XOne, interesting. Both very very strong, though. And very strong for Fallout too, well deserved! Not so for Tomb Raider...let's not jump to conclusions on that one though.

Tomb Raider continuing to show how awful the deal with Microsoft turned out. Hope it doesn't effect the development of the next installment.

After the best Black Friday ever thread the 1.5M number for PS4 is around but slightly higher then what I expected. Gap between PS4 and Xbox One is bigger then I expected. All around a good month for everything except Tomb Raider, Halo did mediocre but not outright awful if it managed to chart.

Black Ops 3 launch month sales > Any game since 2013
http://charlieintel.com/2015/12/10/call-of-duty-black-ops-3-was-the-best-selling-title-in-the-us-at-retail-for-month-of-november/


Well, we already knew it did better tha Advanced Warfare, which was the bestselling title first month up until now, so this doesn't really mean much.

Actually it took negative three minutes and one post, because the confirmation that your prediction was wrong was posted before you posted your prediction

Also it always amazes me how well Just Dance does. Every year! It's like the gift that keeps on giving, unless you're receiving said gift.
