Its even crazier to think CoD Black Ops II entered top10 when you remember these charts are by revenue and no one bought this game anywhere close to full price (I assume)

GameStop sells it for under $30 but digital is $50.

 

[McMoneyman]

Wonder how much Persona 5 has sold worldwide now?

 

[sam12]

Shame about the Xbox game listings. Only one exclusive. Their audience has really dwindled to those appreciating only a few set genres.

 

[mas8705]

To think that had MK8D waited, we would have had a JRPG at the top. Still though, kudos to Persona 5 for a successful launch.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Listen. It's ok to like Nintendo and give them credit where it's due.

But discontinuing NES Classic was stupid. It's a money printer. Hell when they first launched it a lot of scalpers got their hands on it.

I wouldn't be shocked if more scalpers got to it when they announced it would be ceasing production. This thing is like one of the perfect gifts to get someone.

Next time you can bet your ass I'll be there for SNES Classic day one.

Doubt it was making that much to be honest. $60 msrp, retail is making a chunk of that, 3rd Parties get licensing fee's, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, etc...how much is really left per unit. My guess is that's why it was discontinued since it wasn't adding a lot to their bottom line.

 

[Dabanton]

I think the game was still pricey, digitally at least.

 

[Hero]

Best top three of an NPD in years, in my opinion.

Great to see Horizon, Persona, and NieR do awesome.

Hilarious to see NES Classic at number two hardware in units sold.

CoD BLOPS 2 making number 10 is crazy.

i thought it didn't make much money off each unit or something

 

[De_Legend]

GOTY at number 2, freaking awesome!

 

[aadiboy]

Six to seven to eight to nine ten
Persona 5 has made it to the top ten!

 

[AquaWateria]

Nintendo is eating some lunch.

Mario kart sales in two days is amazing.

 

[silva1991]

No waifu wars. That's why it's segregated out into its own thread.

That wasn't my intent.

Sorry regardless.

 

[FelipeMGM]

What? Thats even crazier to me lmao

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

But I have no doubts people heard it was being ceased and went out and bought shitloads of them.

Exactly. If they were plentiful they wouldn't have sold nearly as many, especially in a month like April. Nobody would be talking about the NES classic at this point if they were everywhere.

 

[Ashtar]

Yep
If wasn't for FIFA and Madden Ubi would beat EA as the biggest 3rd party

No..... just no, Ubi soft got outperformed by wb last year, maybe if you take away FIFA madden and star wars then they would beat EA
Top 3 is crazy no way did I think persona would be 2 or that Zelda would be 3

 

[RootCause]

I will during Black Friday

You're good man.

How does GTA5 keep charting.

Are you ready for balls to wall action and micheal bay set pieces for Re8...you should be Xp

-______- it's going to be the Fast & Furious of video games.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Darkest timeline confirmed

 

[sam12]

i thought it didn't make much money off each unit or something

It probably doesn't but people don't understand it

 

[DR2K]

Way to go Persona 5. What fucking alternative universe are we in?

 

[Achtung Englander]

How does GTA5 keep charting.

everytime a console is sold to a new buyer, guess which game gets bought pretty early on ?

 

[aBarreras]

i would be pissed if i were ubisoft then,

if a company like EA with so poor selection of games is beating Ubisoft that has tried to make games for every kind of gamer, then something is wrong with the industry

 

[Hero]

Hey, nice to see you again, welcome back!

Since you mention it, what is the attachment ratio for GTA V to PS4s +XB1s per month? Is it really near 100%?

 

[NolbertoS]

Top three are without digital sales.

Return of the mack, baby.

Edit: NES Classic did #2 for hardware?? WHAT

For a nostalgia 30 year old console, surprising ir sold more than PS4 and Xbox One. I'm betting Nintendo brings back the NES Classic at a future date. Nintendo would own #1 and #2 for several months

 

[theprodigy]

What was Persona 4's MSRP anyway?

 

[The Elite]

Really happy to see MLB The Show up there with the big boys.

 

[olimpia84]

A console from the 80s is the second best selling console of the month, wow

 

[added_time]

That is actually a very diverse selection of games in the top 20. Great to see.

 

[Narpas Sword0]

This is about as interesting as this has been for a long time

 

[Kill3r7]

MLB is probably the most slept on sports game in history. Consistently sells great and never has massive hype. So fun to play

MLB is probably closer to NHL saleswise than FIFA, NBA or Madden.

 

[Jeff Freecss]

Mat is on a plane right now and I am off to sleep in 20 mins guys. Mat will most likely answer most questions in several hours and I will answer questions tomorrow - so bear with us

COD BO II is classified as Xbox 360 game irrespective that it can now be played on an XBO, that is why it did not chart on the top 10 XBO

Thanks for the explanation! I wonder how many 360 backward compatible games would be in the Xbox One Top 10 if counted as Xbox One games.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

What was Persona 4's MSRP anyway?

E: Whoops, read that as Persona 5. I don't remember what P4 MSRP was.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Holy shit Persona!!

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

That's panther.

That's Panther

Oh? Y'all mean basic sis with the brown hair who was a judge mental goodie too shoes who had stuff to say about the true queen on campus until she finally decided to break free and had to apologize to ...yes...the true queen?

Yeah...Miss me 💅🏾

Spoiler

Of course I know that's panther...she just should of been named queen first rather than Makoto but I low key like her too so.... 😂😂

 

[Jawmuncher]

Oh capcom want's 2 million sales not 1.5 million.

 

[Dynomutt]

Nintendo made GAF NPD fun again just like they did gaming with the Switch. A clone of a 34 year old console checking the young ones.

 

[Achtung Englander]

Hey, nice to see you again, welcome back!

Since you mention it, what is the attachment ratio for GTA V to PS4s +XB1s per month? Is it really near 100%?

It is an evergreen title that has an attach rate, just on physical alone, of 4/5

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Good grief.

 

[FelipeMGM]

$50?

That was base price for PS2 games right?

 

[Chris1]

Holy fuck at BO2

lol

 

[darkside31337]

MLB is probably closer to NHL saleswise than FIFA, NBA or Madden.

I mean it kind of has to be? The other sports games are either based on much more popular sports and/or on many more platforms. The numbers the shows puts up is kind of impressive given the context. It definitely flies under the radar more than other sports games for whatever reason

 

[LordBaztion]

WTH is Black Ops 2 doing there?

 

[Kill3r7]

Holy fuck at BO2

lol

Since the BC announcement it has consistently been one of the top 5 most popular X1 games. It is doing really well. At times it is even more popular than BLOPS3.

Baseball is a much bigger sport in the US than soccer or even basketball. I chuck it up to it being an exclusive and the sport not being popular amongst gamers.

 

[Achtung Englander]

I cannot say. We cannot differentiate 360 and One buyer from the Xbox Store, so the platform classification of sale follows the platform classification of game

 

[Boke1879]

So with GTAV being a consistent seller.

Do you guys think RDR2 will be the next game to match THAT success?

 

[Error]

incredibly surreal seeing a SMT title in the top 3.

Franchise has a grown a shitload in the west.

 

[samar11]

I get what you're trying to say and I agree as it's still within the first two months of the consoles launch.

But Switch doesn't look to be slowing down in this first year. Nintendo clearly has a steady stream of first party content to keep people interested and it's looking like it's working. They are selling all they are making.

I think it would do a lot better then WiiU(that was a disaster) but reading things like 'nintendo back on top is' like what is that suppose to mean?
Anyway its funny considering its only being in the market for a couple of months.

Didn't WiiU have good few months on release?

Anyway I think I'll leave this thread before I get tortured by Nintendo fanboys lol.

I don't know what's better, it charting top 10 or it charting higher than infinite warfare.. LOL
