It's including all SKUs, withouth the bundle.

USA was never big for Uncharted, and digital sales should be big for this one.

 

It's easy a big success Worldwide even with a non massive launch in USA at retail.

I think I'm gravely underestimating digital sales at this point. It's probably well above 20%.

According to EA, the actual avg. is 25% as for March 2016. Was at 20% in September 2015, and they expect to break 40% in 2018.

How much was UC3 first month?

1. God of War III - 1100k
2. Last of Us - 985k
3. God of War II - 833k
4. Uncharted 3 - 700k

Im confused. How is it not even close but not 1 MILL?

Doom beat Doom 3 on PC which sold like 380k.

So number 2 is more than 380k.

That's all I can give you guys.

Probably around 900k - 950k? A 200k difference wouldn't be close.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Yeah, ZhugeEX says the main reason is the decline of last gen consoles and handhelds.

The ASP of next gen HW was actually up this month, slightly. 

But Last gen & portable spend was down.

 

Hardware sales dollar sales decreased by 10 percent overall, the majority of the decline in sales stemmed from portables, down $7.3MM and 7th generation hardware, down $5MM. Eighth generation hardware unit sales were stable, but dollar sales decreased by 2 percent or $3MM due to a decrease in average price for these consoles.

So XBO+PS4+WiiU is roughly 333k.

With the PS4 being over 200k and the XBO over 100k, and the Wii U presumably also selling at least a few dozen units I guess.

Yes. Hardware sales were basically flat.

Many forget to read the fine print

No digital is a given, I mean this is a NPD thread...

Obviously it was a NPD prediction. Without bundles nor digital. Duh. We'll see but I think the game sold over 1 million counting bundles and digital. Digital being 20-30% of total sales currently on average.

I personnaly  bought the game digitaly like probably many others...

Surprised to see Battleborn at #4, not particularly great, but I was honestly expecting quite a bit worse, like a lot worse.

Also, I guess Xbox One is just barely over 100k according to Zhuge's tweet? PS4 may have even outsold Xbox One 2:1, or been damn close.

Uncharted 4 sales are decent if not a tad disappointing, but about what I expected given the somewhat lackluster 2.7m first week.

XBO is over 100K, but
