MC = minecraft?

So between Xbone and PS4 MCC is the only exclusive over 1 million then correct?
MC = Minecraft? I thought maybe the MC for PS4 was a typo for DC.
TLOUR retail sales seem to have been front-loaded prior to the bundling. Same with ISS. Didn't that game open strong in the first two months?
Yes. When I saw ISS, thought "International Superstar Soccer? International Space Station? Oh!" :lol

MC selling higher on XBO. I guess the 360 folks who snatched up an XBO are the reason for it.
Where is DriveClub? Bomba?
Thanks for the numbers
Yes, it seems that way.

Lol if I could do that I would package it and sell it to every remaining publisher for $25k a pop.

I'd love a Sonic Lost World Wii U LTD update. We've not had an update on that for nearly a year. I wonder how it's progressed since.

I can't figure this one out. Friends?
After Default totally exposed their lack of business sense, I get the feeling SE is going to prioritize Second's localization and publish it themselves. Probably this fall.
What's never coming out is DQVII.

So about 190K difference in sales between Xbox One and PS4. I honestly think that's underwhelming for MS. I'm sure they're thinking even after massive price cut after price cut, they are like 1.7% - 2% difference. I sense all of 2015, MS will drop the XBone further now. Sony are pleasantly surprised that the console didn't get lower sales spread over the holidays.

cream and/or aquamarine, any way to get Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2 LTD? Or is that just way out of the charts that you don't even have the numbers?

Tomodachi Life.
See you have a plan. Good luck.
It took me a short while to realise that it was Infamous. I completely forgot about that game until today.

Excluding bundles, looks like it.
With bundles, seems like TLOU R just barely crosses over a million thanks to 300+k BF bundle.

Appreciated.
That was the only game I could think of that was missing, but I didn't understand the connection there.
Only next gen versions, right?

Are those Sunset Overdrive Numbers all time sales? Isn't 280k a bit low?

Damn.
It has a special edition, maybe Dragon Age?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

It really depends on the publishing contract SE & Ninty have signed.
Does Nintendo get first dibs on the Bravely Default franchise (SE licensed, Nintendo published) or was it just a one shot deal?
We will see soon enough though! Maybe next Direct?

Yep a real shame how awful they launched that. Hopefully they learn their lesson and improve with 5s launch.

Their retail numbers are probably meaningless =/
They might have done better digitally. I mean Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment was a digital only release that managed to sell 70k despite a shoddy engrish translation.
A real shame that this bombed so hard. The launch was rocky but the post launch support has been great so far.

Regarding Bayo 2 I thought it did okay all things considered. I am curious as to what percentage of the Wii U user base bought 2 versus the combined 360/PS3 userbase for those who bought 1.

Titanfall is also +1 million, no?

Goddamn
Not exclusive.

Not including bundles but I doubt they made that many of those, seems like a disappointing number for sure
Depends what they were expecting/needing for it though I guessProvenDeadly
Member
Your mistake was thinking it was selling a lot in the first place.
I don't understand markets I guess. I guess the lack of hype killed sales.
Also isn't Forza really popular? Is it because it's not a game in the main series?

God, this is bad.

Man that DC number is awful. It performed well in Europe though right? Thought it did well in the UK charts

Atleast Bayo 1 managed to sell close to a million on PS3/X360. It won't even reach close to half on Wii U

even considering that Europe likes racing games a lot better (and it seems to be doing decently there), Driveclub is a special tier of suck in the US

Bundles, price drops (possibly word of mouth too?) did well for it, it picked up a lot after a fairly average start I think? Might be wrong

Using Aqua's number as a baseline for cream's graph, I'd bump the Wii U up to 587k and Xbone to 1.303 mil.
Their servers melted down over that amount of traffic? No wonder we haven't see a PS+ version yet.

Consider the difference in install base and demographic differences.
