Microsoft PR:

"The unmatched lineup of games available on Xbox One continues to generate a strong response from gamers as seen through global Xbox Live engagement and exclusive game sales. Compared to February 2015, exclusive Xbox One U.S. game sales drove a 49 percent increase and the total number of hours spent gaming on Xbox One worldwide rose 93 percent. Earlier this week, we launched the Xbox One ‘Tom Clancy’s The Division’ Bundle to coincide with Ubisoft’s release of ‘Tom Clancy’s The Division’ and looking ahead to this spring, fans can look forward to the upcoming release of the highly-anticipated ‘Quantum Break,’ launching on both Xbox One and Windows 10 on April 5, as well as the built-for-Windows 10 visual showcase, ‘Forza Motorsport 6: Apex.’ We are truly grateful to our fans for choosing to play the greatest games lineup in Xbox history across Windows 10 devices, and are excited to share more in the coming months on our full lineup of holiday exclusives as well as new innovations, features and experiences coming to Xbox One, Windows 10 and Xbox Live.”Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing, Microsoft

 

SIGH...

They are really going to keep up the "The Best Line-Up in Xbox History" ridiculous PR arent they?

Well done.



Wouldn't it be undertracked then if VGC has it around 50k lower than what the actual physical sales were?

Or is that the joke? :p



the biggest thing to take from this NPD is Microsoft pushing Windows in their Xbox PR. I really do wonder if they'll ever make an Xbox Two. I can see a full shift to Windows PC.

Fire emblem is undertracked. 

 

eff Grub is on fire on twitter with NPD infos

-Naruto outsold SFV on the PS4
-Farcry Primal is outselling FC4 when aligning launches
-Counting all Sku's Fire Emblem was #3

I think you mis read Jeff Grub. On a sku basis VGC has FE at #1 for the month, whereas NPD has it at number 3. VGC has FE at 300K, but it sold less than SFV on NPD and SFV only sold >200K. Which suggests FE sold well below 300K. Therefore FE is overtracked on VGC. 

If Naruto is #1 for a single sku the sales difference with Xb one must be pretty big. Great result for Naruto on PS4. I hope it has great legs.

 

7. Street Fighter V (PS4) > 200k
8. Minecraft (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)
9. Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (3DS)

 

This month:

Street Fighter V (PS4) > 200k
Fire Emblem Fates (3DS) > 351k (without digital sales);

I think you are getting confused with the 2 VERSIONS of FE FATES!

The top one ONLY counts Birthright

While the bottom one counts BOTH Birthright AND Conquest

Basically FE FATES Sold more than SFV <---- Unless NPD doesn't count digital or bundle sales for SFV. If it did and it managed to reach over 400k. Then YES! It beats Fe Fates. 

 

 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Thats scary good...



Good work ZhugeEX
This the first Nintendo NDP PR for how many months?
Perhaps Microsoft will be better served by following Nintendo's lead and not saying anything cause what they do say is just embarassing

Bro... 


Fire Emblem quite over tracked it would seem.

 

 

VGC has it at 300k and it did 350k+ retail

?? How? It sold less than SFV according to NPD. Did SFV sell >350K? Seems unlikely.

That just counts Birthright, dude.

Birthright+Conquest did over 350k, and that was just for the physical versions.
