I don't think it's damage control, the digital share for QB should definitely be a by higher than normal. Hell it came with all the Alan Wakes & QB Win10.

Not expecting it to be huge difference but I mean hard to say the digital split will fall in line with "normal" splits.

As for the bundle part, I doubt the bundles really took away from many sales. Digital I buy though.

The physical version also came with Alan Wake -- and even beyond the pre-order period, unlike digital -- so I'd be surprised that a W10 version of a game that satisfies that tiny slice of the market that has a capable PC and an Xbox One will have a significant enough impact on sales to change the story much.

But nevertheless, let's say it went from 20% to 30% of the digital share. Even 40%, let's be generous. It changes the magnitude of the bomb, but not the fact that the only Microsoft tentpole release of the whole first half of the year bombed.

I mean you're right it's equally as funny when Sony boys use that excuse when an Xbox sku of a game outsells the PS4 counterpart. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Or is this somehow different? Lmao.

WOW...

 

[demigod]

Sony boys? lol. That's cute junior.

I'm hot boy.

 

[Tapejara]

not sure what the final NPD number is (versus my data), but it's the fastest selling Ratchet yet.

Add the crazy digital share in and we definitely are way ahead of any other Ratchet game's first 3 weeks.

Congrats . Really glad the game is doing well!

Fantastic, Ratchet getting the sales he deserves. Ratchet is definitely one of the most underrated series in gaming.

[Loris146]

At the same time, this is not a red alert for console gaming. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are still trending 40 percent higher than the cumulative sales after the same 30-month period compared to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

No it's way less than i expect.... at least in the TOP TEN. Maybe numbers are still strong?

Well, ya .

I'm just saying the digital split should definitely be higher than normal.

Still though, you're totally right in that it just makes it a slightlyless bomb haha

You must be talking about the call of duty bundle...I'll let that sink in for awhile and hopefully you understand why that's not at all comparable to the likes of Quantum break.

I'll let you take a second and actually think of the other cases that this applies to. You're on the internet. Perhaps do some research maybe.

 

[Kysen]

Well at least DS3 did well, From we need a new AC or BB2..

Sony not commenting suggests PS4 lost this month. Though they should be pretty darn happy with the software performance on their system.

Ratchet & Clank is the big surprise here. The game is a PS4 exclusive, and it rose right to the top of the charts unlike any game in the series ever has.

“Ratchet & Clank had the best launch of any game in the Ratchet & Clank franchise when adjusting for the number of days sold in the data month, with sales recapturing success not seen for the franchise since the height of the PlayStation 2 era,” said Callahan.

“The launch of Dark Souls III marked the strongest launch in the franchise’s history,” said Callahan. “Sales for Dark Souls III nearly doubled that of its predecessor, Dark Souls II, when adjusted for days in the market.
