On the individual charts they do have more and better precense...like usual. The fact a Wii U game manages to break in the top 10 here and there despite that and even Yoshi managed to do it back in October and Xenoblade did over 200k in December.

NPD Sales Results for January 2016
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I think Lego TFA will be huge. I know the LE comes with a Finn figure. I got that preordered and I never buy Lego games. It could be pretty big.
I doubt XB1 is so low, but if is, that's not bad, that's atrocius.
Should mean the second worse month ever, only better than the 77,000 in May 2014 (the month before the pricedrop).
Hence my question, it's also the first Lego game in a long while that I'm not waiting until it's significantly cheaper.
That Gold cover + the fig was just too much to handle for me

People also forget that COD is an international brand, selling like hot cakes almost everywhere, not only in North America.

XB1+PS4+WIU did ~402k last January. XB1 and WIU are below 153k and 48k respectively.
XB1 most definitely had its worst January.

Do we have anything other than intuition confirming that including bundles gives the software split win to Sony? Because all I see is MS winning the software split on shooters almost every month.

Yes.
Microsoft: 23% more Netflix users YoY and the QB footage has been viewed 15.7 million times across all channels on youtube.
Nintendo: Hey so how about SM3DW2 on your iPhone?

Where's MS's PR?
I'm sorry guys, one more.
No, no more.

Both deals are global arrangement. Worldwide sales are difinitively in the PS4's favor for both titles. Both deals also include official bundles, sales of which have been significant, but not reflected in NPD accounting.

Thank the gods!
On the infividual charts they do have more and better precense...like usual. The fact a Wii U game manages to break in the top 10 here and there despite that and even Yoshi managed to do it back in October and Xenoblade did over 200k in December.
Yoshi even beat Uncharted Collection, though that was minus the bundles.
Anyway, the combined chart never tells the whole story, though it's the only story that publishers seem willing to share. Those pre-combined chart days were truly halcyon.
ok

We have the fact that this was the case in November and December.
Ehi, look over there! In the sky!
Is it a bird? Is it an airplane?
No, it's the joke flying over your head!
Jokes aside, for the 100th time: bundles aren't included in software charts

Think it is down on revenue. Which makes sense with price cuts.
Yep. Should have kept the bundle prices under $299.

I am very happy for Rainbow Six. Great game.
Yep. Many games has even reached over a million copies without been in a Top 10 NPD.
Those days were the best. Downloading those excel files or control+F'ing online and see each individual game, ranking, total. XD
Now is like...here's the top 10...bye!
Mmmh...going with 120,000 to 130,000. Maybe he's exaggerating a bit though. Let's see what happens

It takes a while to put together a statement showing how many minutes of Halo 5 have been played and how many people logged into their Hotmail account last month.
EDIT: Hahahahaha, I was not far off it seems.

From what little I've paid attention, he likes to troll and hype up just how terrible the Xbox One is doing whenever possible. Obviously the sales aren't very good though.
