@Janedoe I really doubt it with Halo 5. I am betting the game they are using as a benchmark is Gears of War remastered, and they are using bundle numbers and digital in a battle against Physical releases.


why?
npd numbers are a fact

if you doubt the numbers from insiders, feel free to buy the salesreport yourself for $30.000

if they would use gears of war and bundle sales, uncharted collection would be in the top 10 aswell
and that game is clearly not playable on the xb1

Why do I get the feeling MS are using world wide numbers and Digital to beat out US games physical numbers in their PR. I'm fairly sure that without doing that Destiny taken King, The Witcher 3,, MGS5 and Batman replace whatever their PR kicks out by technicality. There comes a time when you don't believe a word after so many lies and half truths.

I know in business and politics, it is commonly said that the truth matters far less than the perception of the truth. I have some shocking news for you politicians and Corporate guys.

it's already confirmed, that the pr is correct and halo 5 is in the top 12 for december npd and top 13 for 2015 npd

december
#11 Just Cause 3
#12 Halo 5

2015
#11 we don't know
#12 we don't know
#13 Halo 5


also MGS and Destiny TKK sold way way less than Halo
Batman is probably ahead
The Witcher could be ahead, or could be be below.

Here are the TOP 100 for 2015 in the UK as example


Metal Gear is behind Halo5
Destiny TKK is way behind Halo 5


 

 

Destiny TKK is really just a big DLC drop, so most of its sales are digital. Which is not tracked by NPD.

It doesn't include hardware bundles but it includes special editions like amiibo bundles (e.g. Mario Party 10 + Mario amiibo Bundle).

Thanks! Yeah I was referring to hardware bundles.

So all the 3DS games that had a bundle with the console were: Zelda MM, Xenoblade 3D and AC HHD or am I missing some?

No digital either. Splatoon has 849k, we know it did 140k bundle (the new one) so its 989k without bundle in Dec and the original bundle in may. Also i think Splatoon had over 120k digital? I forgot

What did WiiU do according to NPD last year just wondering?



LipeJJ on 15 January 2016

Yokai Watch didn't flop after all. Will be interesting to see how its legs will fare.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Would really like some Vita LTD for software and hardware but alas. Really curious how Trials of Cold Steel did and want to see if P4G is actually doing as well as VGC thinks.
