RIP SFV, it was nice seeing you joke around the world with Blanka Ono-san

 

[ethomaz]

I mean in general. Obviously PC isn't counted in that chart

My estimate for WW sales was over 500k with NPD ~200k.
PC account for ~130k (SteamSpy).

Now I'm inclined to say WW sales is well over 500k... 600-700k to be fair.

PS4 ~550k
PC ~130k

And NPD is missing SFV bundles I guess.

SFV bomba worldwide confirm. Take that L Capcom. Put content in your game nexttime.

Look at my estimates... pretty solid sales.

 

[krioto]

we're not interested in these 'sales' numbers - where are the MAU figures?

 

[JeffGrubb]

My bad. Made a mistake with Lego Marvel Avengers. Corrected:

Software:

1. Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4, 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Vita)

 

[Welfare]

^ Well then that settles that!

Hey, is the VentureBeat article right on Lego? Zhuge has the PS4 version being the top seller, so just want to make sure.

 

[Boke1879]

Street Fighter IV debuted at 849,000 copies.

After 10 years of no new Street Fighter. SF4 had the luxury of that thirst. SFV not so much. Which is why you see them now pretty much going the service model route with this game. Wouldn't be shocked if they offered a f2p version soon. They should have done that to begin with imo.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Awakening opened at 180k including digital. 117 was retail, and if Fates tripled that it sits at 351k retail sold.

At least 351k, since they said more than triple

 

[Warxard]

Birthright > Conquest, numbers don't lie

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Zhuge told me on Twitter there is a mistake with Lego...

The real best selling version of Lego was the PS4 version, not the 360.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I wonder how Capcom will come away from this.

(A) "We shouldn't have released the game before all the content was ready to go"

or the more likely scenario....

(B) "Oh, we should have made SFV a mobile game, duh!"

 

[Regiruler]

Maybe one day Capcom can make a fighting game that can sell as well as Naruto.

I still don't understand how ninja storm does so well. It's such a one trick pony.
Clash of Ninja didn't die for this.

FE did better than I expected, I suppose.

 

[CLEEK]

Never would have imagined Fire Emblem release outselling a new Street Fighter release

I would never have imagined a new Street Fighter game launching without single player content!

[viHuGi]

NX needs to come to stop 3DS and Wii U terrible performance...

Digital age isn't helping SW either.

 

[theprodigy]

Awakening opened at 180k including digital. 117 was retail, and if Fates tripled that it sits at 351k retail sold.

Yeah but is that including bundles or not? because if it isn't that's 95k x 3 not 117k x 3

 

[mrmickfran]

surprised to see one FE version in top 10. i didn't think it would chart even if you combined both.



they count pokemon separate and those games are much more similar to each other when it comes to paired versions.

Didn't know that they counted Pokemon separately.

Yep. For Pokémon I could understand the reasoning, but even on Smash Bros they combined Wii U and 3DS. So it seems to be on a case by case basis.

Combined would've been higher of course, but individual is amazing anyway considering is Fire Emblem.

I can't even imagine how the numbers would be if they combined them.

Three pages and no one has said "Naruto beat SFV? I can't believe it."

 

[SpotAnime]

Wow, that's a hell of an achievement. Fire Emblem went from being persona non grata a few years ago to quickly becoming an A-tier franchise for Nintendo.

Well, not only is it a great game, but also a hell of a value. So much game there. Hopefully people are picking it up not just for its quantity but it's quality.

 

[Chase17]

New format idea:

NPD sales results for (insert month/year here) PS: Bundles not counted. Ever.

Why are only Playstation bundles not counted? Why not Microsoft's?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Omnistalgic]

Glad to see SFV charted. I really hope the game survives the rocky start.

The force is strong...I believe it will rebound

Naruto beat SFV?

Man Capcom, you sure do fucking suck, lol.

No one to blame but themselves. They wanted to get it out before the tourneys at the expense of the game. Hope it was worth the tradeoff.

Naruto games are awesome! Dunno why people keep giving them shade, that anime is very successful in the west and this is the game ending the series story wise. Its kinda a big deal to fans, I’m heavily into fighters, but i’m still gonna buy it event though it’s not a super deep system.

SFV bomba worldwide confirm. Take that L Capcom. Put content in your game nexttime.

Don’t hate son, we’re a growing community, SFV is just starting off slow you hear! I’m keeping the faith alive! this will be a Driveclub story in a year

 

[Obliterator]

SFV may end up being the biggest bomb of 2016 in comparison to its predecessor.

 

[CosmicQueso]

New format idea:

NPD results for (insert month here) PS: Bundles not counted. Ever.

You forgot digital.

I'm tempted to go with a Naruto avatar this month. Maybe go back to Minato.

Legit surprised by Naruto. Biggest Naruto launch month in the US since beginning of last gen. Why?

 

[Septimus Prime]

Man, those Lego games are just free money for WB.

 

[Tankard]

So close.

Wow,

Just wow.

 

[bomma_man]

Who doesn't own gtav at this point? Crazy.

 

[AniHawk]

bad month for most players. good on sony for having a platform that's up year over year. they're still struggling with the younger demographic though. maybe they can turn it around with ratchet and some other stuff this year.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I mean in general. Obviously PC isn't counted in that chart

It sold around 125k copies on Steam. It's not doing well.

Thank god for that cross platform play.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Well, that didn't take long lol.

Naruto is a big seller, people. It was always going to chart above SFV. Never mind the multiplatform advantage it has.

I also don't know why SFV's position means anything. Don't exclusives typically chart lower since they are up against multiplatform titles?

I'm not saying SFV didn't do poorly. However, some of you are reaching for the stars.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Birthright > Conquest, numbers don't lie

It's hard to judge, since the digital split might be different, and more importantly it doesn't tell us anything about the dlc split. A lot of people chose the version they'd play first knowing they planned on playing both

 

[Welfare]

Legit surprised by Naruto. Biggest Naruto launch month in the US ever. Why?

Anime is stuck in filler hell. This game is the only other media that has the ending besides the already finished manga from 2014.

 

[Hoje0308]

Digital age isn't helping SW either.

Huh? Those sales still count, they just don't show up on NPD.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Forgot today was NPD day .
PS4 sales doing good it seem .
While SFV shows how bad capcom fuck up thing with that game.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I still don't understand how ninja storm does so well. It's such a one trick pony.
Clash of Ninja didn't die for this.

FE did better than I expected, I suppose.

This is the Shippuden game ending the series, and it looks amazing! Seriously, have you guys played naruto games or just crapping on Anime in general?

Why so surprised they are selling well?

 

[Altered Juice]

bomb fighter 5!

 

[MrSaturn99]

Yay, FE! And dang @ Naruto.

I think UNS looks mighty cool, but I'm not really a Part II guy. Should I cave?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

lego had timed dlc or something right? surprised that ps4 was on top as a result for skus

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Primal did better than expected in my book, even if it was a slow month.
Poor debut for SFV, great news for Fire Emblem.

Naruto being the fourth is any month is.. impressive in one sense. Worrying in terms of numbers slightly.

 

[Ducktail]

Can I be a pessimist and say this is the last big Street Fighter we'll see?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

hitman is out soom so i hope we get mau news in the next 15 mins

 

[Pancake Mix]

When was the last time 3 anime-styled games were in the top 10, 1999?

Probably not nearly that far back, but it was Wii/DS era I bet.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I imagine with the recent announcement of MS focusing on PCs more and the WiiU doing poorly that the hardware drop was going to happen regardless of how well the ps4 does

 

[PanicFreak]

Looking at the hardware revenue YoY and the fact that PS4 is up... Xbox is going to need to drop price.

 

[JaggedSac]

Maybe it was a good idea for them to get that Sony money. What a crazy bad debut.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

I repost this in case someone missed it. There is a mistake with Lego. The real best selling version is the PS4 version, not the 360.

 

[Draft]

Capcom is probably regretting that console exclusivity.

 

[Noirulus]

Birthright Boyz

 

[vareon]

With how Japanese Birthright looked, plus all the censorship and cut content stuff covered in gaming media, how untraditional the version releases were, plus 3DS's sunset, I actually thought Fates would open lower than Awakening.

But it's not! Fire Emblem is here to stay.

 

[AncientDiety]

I repost this in case someone missed it. There is a mistake with Lego. The real best selling version is the PS4 version, not the 360.

Oh really, didn't it do best on ps4 last month too? Seems even those are selling better on PS4 now too.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Capcom is probably regretting that console exclusivity.

Game would not have been made without Sony...

 

[Ondore]

Handheld hardware down 58%

.42(395k) for 3DS family last year... about 166k for 3DS?

 

[DR2K]

I imagine SFV would have charted higher in the US had it released on the X1.

Legit surprised by Naruto. Biggest Naruto launch month in the US since beginning of last gen. Why?

It's the final one, story wise.
