Forums - Sales - Pretty amazing that Xenoblade beat both new releases of Just Cause 3 and Rainbow Six this past week!

You know I feel like people forget that the Wii U basically gets no 3rd party support, and when it does, its not a big game. The PS4/XBO have a lot of big 3rd party games. You guys do realize that people don't have infinite money right? If the Wii U gets like 10 retail games a year of course those 10 retail games,which are mostly exclusives are going to have big sales. While the PS4/XBO gets like 100 retail games, all game sales arent going to be that high.

Edit: My point is, if the Wii U had as many 3rd party games as the PS4/XBO, exclusive sales wouldn't be as high.

How about we wait for the official numbers first? These threads prove to be pointless when we get numbers from NPD.

Then why are you a member here and not on NeoGAF or some kind of NPD sales forum?



In case you haven't noticed, when NPD numbers are released most of the time VGC numbers adjust accordingly. Same with Sony/MS/Ninty shipment statements. VGC numbers have been proven way off too many times. It's a good site for the numbers *after* the adjustments.

Edit: Also, silly question since the estimates posted on VGC are only a part of its appeal. The mods, the discussions that take place and the users are another. I come mostly for certain users, their contribution to discussions, their overall attitude, and the information that they provide.



I just hope it has legs.

I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those games that unfortunately nose dive off the charts after a week or two.

It is that kind of game, but I think it is possible for it to have legs at least until the end of holidays, so 3-4 weeks.

All I'm going to say is having no competition does not mean a Wii U will sell well. Look at Bayo 2, or Windwaker HD. Xeno X is just a sought after title.



You can't stop the Xenotrain!



May I remind everyone that The NPD Group, who track pos data for 95% of the market, have Bayonetta 2 at 185k sold through as of November 2015 but VGChartz have the game at 485k.

now it's 530k, do you have any information if this game is undertracked in europe like some people say.

It's a JRPG in the US. A safe bet is about half of what's reported.

 

This.  I'm surprised so many people are leaping to be happy about these numbers.  I guess they've not followed the saga of VGC tracking JRPG's in the west.
