Yeah, can't see it happening. Although, i don't know if it even matters at this point.

Looks like software sales fell ~30% YoY in June.

Not great, but then not unexpected due to a lower number of new releases at retail this month.

Last year Batman sold 1.1 million.

OverWatch sold 420k and is the best selling game in June, so this was expect...

 

EDIT: Wait is this including digital or retail only?

Physical Software sales fell from $345.5 million in June 2015 NPD to $240.0 million in June 2016 NPD. That's a decline of -30.5%.

Last June the #1 seller Batman: Arkham Knight sold 1.32 million physical units including digital copies in hardware bundles.

 

This June the #1 seller Overwatch sold 423K physical copies on consoles and a lot of PC physical sales (considering how dead the PC retail market is, >75K PC physical for a second month release is a lot).

Agreed...even Wii U software is dead in the market, down -29% YOY in June from its already anemic levels.

 

There's just nothing left for it.

.....wait, maybe i'm missing something.

Creamsugar posted that Batman sold >1.1 million at retail last year, withouth bundle.

He also posted bundle sold 121k.

This mean that digital sales for Batman were < 100k ? Maybe i'm reading this wrong...

 

Also, OverWatch at >498k PC+Console, looks like my +500k prediction was spot on! :D

The 1.32 million figure for Batman: Arkham Knight is comprised of PS4 physical, XBO physical, console bundle sales, and PC physical.

 

It doesn't include PSN or XBL or Steam digital sales.
