Except Smash? We just heard 4-7 of the top software SKUs were Smash Wii U /3DS and Pokemon OR/AS.

Interesting, thanks. It would be very surprising if they did that really (next-gen only) and I can't really them doing it but it would definitely get a big adoption for next-gen next holiday if they did.
Even so Smash Bros. is in great official top 10 as well.

Interesting stuff. Pokemon & Smash did quite well.

$299 Halo bundle, next-gen only COD and MS might hit 2m in December. Well, maybe.
I would love to know the total with special edition and bundle.
It's one of the main reasons why many publishers continue to love the PS/Xbox ecosystems even as iOS and PC boom and even as development costs continue to rise: the tastes of PS/Xbox consumers are very predictable. Businesses like reliability.
250k not counting digital is pretty good for that game.
Wondering this as well, as far as updated through December goes.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Cream could you comment on Bayonetta 2 please?
Or anyone else for that matter
I'm really happy for it; I thought it would of sold less than Japan's 150k LTD so I'm pleasantly surprised it sold much more!

Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors numbers would be very interesting. Hopefully they both have some good legs.
You know, going back to Nintendo... I actually do think Nintendo isn't doing enough with their IPs. I mean, right now is the era of '80s and '90s nostalgia in mass media and merchandise and the era where video games in particular are big business. Nintendo, being a major player in video games during the '80s and '90s, should be making bank in mass media and merchandise. In addition, there has yet to be decent successful adaptations of video games in film, which is the predominant media for the success of other nostalgic '80s and '90s properties. I think there is a great opportunity for Nintendo in particular to expand in terms of mass media and merchandise by following a model similar to what other companies like Marvel, Hasbro, and LEGO have done in regards to mass media and merchandise. Nintendo can still be primarily focused on their console and handheld video game business as well as their card game business and Amiibo, but they would do well licensing their properties to companies like LEGO and Funko who benefit from making toys with pop culture licenses. Heck, having a LEGO Nintendo line would have the added benefit of letting TT Games make video games for the Wii U and 3DS based on the LEGO Nintendo line and published by Nintendo. If Nintendo can do that, they'd likely be somewhat successful and keep their IPs in the minds of people for when they launch their next systems.

Any Bayo 2 numbers yet?
Edit: Guess not?
Edit: Guess not?
After 14 months:
Wii: 7.4m
PS4: 6.7m
XBO: 6.2m
PS2: 5.3m
Next month, the PS2 (at 7.3m) will finally cross streams with the PS4 (and the Xbox One again).
PS2 holds the record for home consoles* second December for at least another generation with 1.95 million. Wii did 1.35m.
*Overall best second December is GBA with 2.1m.
Yeah nobody should be crying or justifying their consoles sales. Both are better then the PS2 but behind the Wii. Not a lot of justifiable shit talking to be had.
But there is no Banderas gifs, or new members to the Knack brigade. No chalkboards either. You can go ahead and circle Xbox holliday premotions 2014.
But this is all in good fun. PS4 is dominating worldwide, and Xbox is doing really well for itself. And this good for all of us.
Possible. Halo V and CoD next gen exclusive is a powerful combination.
A lot 360 players are jump in.

For USA or WW?
Out of curiosity, where do you get your resources? Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question or asking something that you cannot answer.
Not happening.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, Toad is the 3rd highest opening for a Wii U game in the US this year... yeh, over DKC & Hyrule. Crazy right?
USA
It still has a ways to go though. 250K US + 130K from JP thus far is still far shy of 1M. 500K probably is likely including the rest of the world though.

250K for Toad is beyond what I imagined. So happy to see it sell!!!
I believe in $299 price, but not with Halo 5.
