The highest selling game this month for Nintendo was Pokken Tournament and that couldn't even sell 35K. Every other Nintendo title (including Star Fox Zero + Star Fox Guard, new release Disney Art Academy, Bravely Second: End Layer, Super Smash Bros......not a SINGLE Nintendo title could beat that incredibly small 35K threshold.

Star Fox Zero really should have done better than it has.

Nintendo had a WEAK month....-38% from last month and -29% year over year.

Ratchet didn't collapse in its second month but it also didn't do the best, either. The threshold for the Top 10 is 80K and Ratchet & Clank definitely sold below that but not significantly.

Come on Ryng_Tolu, if you're going to quote me on NeoGAF please say "From Aquamarine on Gamrconnect / VG Chartz."

Do not just say "Software is up."

And I corrected Overwatch, it's:
"3. Overwatch (PS4 > XBO > PC) : 361K for consoles, 50-100K for retail PC (Diablo 3 sold 550K at launch in Sept. 2013)"

Maybe he doesn't want to get banned from GAF.

Welfare did quote you properly though. At least he has the balls to do it...

If people can't even fucking say my name and where this data comes from then I don't want it on NeoGAF. Screw them and their stupid bans. I'm not some mindless machine that just spits out data. Damn...it's depressing. I can see why others like CosmicQueso don't bother with it.

Whatever. I'm going to work.

Damn, House just confirmed NEO, said it will be higher price and will sell alongside PS4 through lifecycle. (won't be shown at E3 as well)

Well, guess my theory was wrong. Don't like the sound of this...

Where'd you get those UC3 numbers from? Thought it did 700k first month?

Grand Theft Auto V (PS4 > XBO > 360 > PS3 > PC) is just the ranking of the physical retail sales.

I don't think Aquamarine has access to digital sales numbers.

??

I'm not talking about GTAV. I'm talking about Overwatch.

I don't understand what is leading people to believe that Overwatch had a significantly stronger than average digital performance (on console).

Overwatch is a multiplayer only title.

Also woohoo, we got R&C figures (ballpark). Imma go with ~70k, which gives us somewhere along the lines of 290k in its first two months combined (depending a bit on the precise numbers for April).

Thanks for the numbers Aqua. It's much appreciated that you actually take such efforts to shed more light on a subject that has been kept very secret lately (game sales).



Ryng on 10 June 2016

Aqua, i get it...

I just forgot to mention you, now i did it.

Is happen even with Zhuge, but is not that now i'm worry to quote it, one time GAF locked my thread because i metioned it.

Next time i will quote you all times.

So PS4 almost 2:1 X1 and also PS4 is almost over everything else combined, strong numbers relative to others, but 207k with UC4 isn't that impressive for me (just 25+ YOY growth isn't that high)

Ok, so just conjecture? The only evidence we have that Overwatch would have performed better than average with digital is that Overwatch was ahead of DOOM onUS PSN last month.

Sounds like people are disappointed with Overwatch console sales and are going the digital damage control route.

Withouth bundle.

Aqua posted a year ago a comment where she said that including bundle Uncharted 3 did 838,000 unit first month, if i remember correctly... Am i right Aqua?



Mazzy on 10 June 2016

So Uncharted 4 had the largest ad campaign in PlayStation history, and yet performed under TLoU and Halo 5 and just barely performed above UC3 including bundles.

Interesting...

I dout this person will accept it without making a very farfetched explanation
