No fe numbers. :(

Eh, it sold okay, I guess.

Below 135K (although not significantly) when you include the three SKUs (Birthright + Conquest + Special Edition) together.

A different picture than Chartz would have you believe (Chartz has it at 205,195 for March):

But hey, at least it sold a good deal more than Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam which is more flatlining in its 3rd month, but I digress.

 

Although the biggest Chartz discrepancy this month is probably Division sales.

The Division sold only 1796K units this month in NPD even including all of those bundle sales, but Chartz has it at 2,904,587.

I predicted 120-150K this month including digital for FE.

If is a bit under < 135,000, i guess is easy 150,000 more or less including digital. That was my maximum prediction, very good.

Also, The Division bundle is about 40,000 if the total withouth bundle is >1.75 million.

Geez. How in the world was the Wii U down from February when there were no games that month? March at least had TP:HD and Pokken. I guess there really are no games left that would make people want to buy a Wii U outside of maybe the new Zelda.

Yeah I think it's just the small hardcore on the platform buying the games.  it's not enticing in many new buyers.  

no everything is down from last month because February is simply a bigger hardware month than March.

Even PS4/XB1 are down with The Division, UFC, MLB (PS4) and a 5 week month.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Yeah, bundle software sales are big these days. They aren't included in NPD's software data feed, only the hardware one, but for select titles they make a big difference. 

I'll post it later, too busy at the moment.

1.  Do we have a split for this game.

6. I was really suprised by MLB being on sale for 2 days or so.  How does this compare to last year?

9. No we know why Sony keeps shipping the BO3 bundle. 

 

Thanks BTW!

Considering the CoD bundle is the main PS4 sku at the moment... why exactly are you surprised?
