Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2015 NPD Thread! Hardware and software in OP!

So it looks like the Xbox One only took one month away from the PS4 this whole year, October (correct me if I'm wrong) even with their "Bext Xbox line up ever"

Poor Tomb Raider, that game doesn't deserve the treatment it got (sales wise) The PS4 version can't come out soon enough.

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.


Well yes multiple people is worst.

Most were expecting YOY down for November on X1 because MS PR were only about 22% growth for BF.

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.

*Insert Ba Dum Tss Meme*


Haha they've finally achieved what they sent out to do.  Make an uncharted game!  That pun is too good :D

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

Pssh, semantics. I had the thread open for about 20 minutes doing nothing and then by the time I'd posted it time had moved on so I was left looking like a muppet. Best to stand by the muppetry than be weak and edit the predictions though. 

I'm just not very good at predicting alright? Bring back 2011. I can do 2011!

Edit: Here's an actual disapproving picture of Flye from 2011 for Teeqoz!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

XBO also won April. So two of the eleven months this year they've won.

Anyone got the month by month NPD sales for this year?



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

I was wondering what was up with all the damage controlling Xbox One articles in the gaming press today. Not that the system needed it, but they came on a little stronger than usual. I figured they were trying to counter this news in advance.



And has anybody noticed how close madden is to being dethroned as the top selling holiday sports title.

NBA 2k right on its heals and next up is FIFA. That used to be tiny in the US but it's freaking huge now. I wonder if it can topple madden in its home territory soon? This battle kinda reminds me of Playstation vs xbox. The PS being Fifa and the XB being Madden.

I'm assuming that's a selfie from 2011? <3
