Apparently you have been sleeping under a rock if you truly believe that.

 

[DarthWalden]

Until Dawn and Rare Replay doing well makes me happy.

I keep seeing people say this (myself included) but how can we be so certain they did well in a month that minecraft claimed second place and the call of duty black ops bundle charted?

 

[Ryng_tolu]

It's very good.

But that doesn't mean it'll do better than Japan as Ryng Tolu insinuated.

I never said Splatoon would sell better in the US than in Japan.
I think USA sales are really good, and Japan sales are insane.

That said, i think Splatoon will sell around 2 million lifetime in the US ( including digital )...
What's your prediction?

 

[allan-bh]

What we are expecting for Until Dawn on 7th place? Something between 100-150k ?

 

[BattleMonkey]

Yikes, #3 is < 200k? Seems like even more shit numbers for Rare and Until Dawn then.

Just four days of sales for a game with almost no marketing in one territory. Game seems to be doing just fine

About as well as they plug headphones into computers.

Until Dawn made the top ten!! #NotaFlop

I dunno man, it didn't even outsell Madden.

humm, last month Splatoon was out of TOP TEN, with over 70,000 unit sold...
So yeah, 100-150k for Until Dawn seem likely.

Just wait until we get hardware numbers for October. It will be a console wars shit show regardless of the outcome.

 

[foxuzamaki]

You have that number on WiiU alone:
New Super Mario Bros. U
Wind Waker HD
Super Mario 3D World
Mario Kart 8
Smash U
Splatoon

Pretty sure hyrule warriors reached a million aswell

Further update on this.

I'd expect US numbers to be lower than Japan's numbers for August.

Hooray for Until Dawn and Supermassive! It's a hell of a game.

Until Dawn is one of SCEE's new big IP/franchises. I want sequels during this gen and more support for Supermassive Games. Hope SCEE acquires them. What a great studio. They made a very unique game. Simply brilliant.

Most likely. August is a holidays month in Japan.

 

[Lucreto]

October will be interesting

Uncharted Collection bundle on 9th October along with exclusive Japanese titles. Then Xbox with Halo on the 20th.


It will be hard to say who will win, both are system sellers.

 

[iceatcs]

Seriously Minecraft is crazy popular, ever old title but still number 2, my god,

 

[AppleMIX]

I'm glad Until Dawn charted.

I want more games like that.

Spoiler

That are not made by David Cage.

There's no way anyone could think PS4 will win October. Halo 5 is the biggest exclusive the Xbone will ever get (barring a Minecraft 2 or something), MS has that month on lockdown.

Yes. 120k/130k is my guess.

There is a way, if SCE announces a price drop around the PGW.

 

[kswiston]

I made this so people can easily compare XB1 in these two important markets-

Monthly Wii U sales in the US aren't that much lower than LTD XB1 sales in Japan. Japanese XB1 hardware sales make the 360 look like the Nintendo DS.

Logic never stops console warring.

Uncharted has no where near the popularity of Halo.

 

[ypo]

Man not even with free TVs? Wonder what can ms do at this point.

 

[Silent Chief]

Wonder if Until Dawn charts in September. That game had absolutely no buzz until it was actually released (and got covered by folks like pewdiepie) so I could see it having some mini legs.

There's too many releases in September for that.

 

[Toro]

I made this so people can easily compare XB1 in these two important markets-

The "Japan" bar isn't loading. Fix it!

 

[jroc74]

Shocked at Until Dawn. Considering the type of game it is. Cant wait to finally play it.

Amazed at GTA V....when will it end?

 

[kswiston]

Uncharted has no where near the popularity of Halo.

It's also a bunch of remasters vs a new main series game.

 

[qa_engineer]

How is gta 5 still in the top 10?

 

[Mass Effect]

Good to see Until Dawn charting.

How is gta 5 still in the top 10?

Because it's GTA.

[Mister Megative]

for be correct, the PS3 sold better than PS4 so far in the second year. ( as for July )
After 8 months PS3 sold 2,018,000 in 2008, PS4 need to sell 234,000 this month for beat it. Seem possible but i don't think so.

I believe PS4 will pass PS3 2008 YTD numbers in September.

I'm confused now. Are PS4 numbers this year tracking over or under 2008? Sounds like it's on par to surpass? If that's the case, how can it be tracking under? I remember PS3 having a middling holiday season in 2008, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Vena]

I dunno man, it didn't even outsell Madden.

#totalflop

But Zhuge, its a number representing an unknown value, if CoD only sold four copies and UD is above it... it could have sold five!

But more seriously, we need numbers before we know how well anything did under Minecraft because I suspect the numbers might be lower than people think unless Minecraft had a really, really good month all of a sudden.

 

[Silent Chief]

Not exclusive but the Wii U and 3DS versions of Lego: Jurassic World both outsold all but the 360 version.
Lego: Jurassic World (360, 3DS, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Vita)

I don't buy those games until they fall below $20. There's so many Lego games out there, it makes no sense to pay a premium for the latest one.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Until Dawn made the top ten!! #NotaFlop

Lol just because it charted doesn't mean it did well. #7 probably ain't so great.

The numbers were low this month in general (Apart from Madden ofc)

 

[De_Legend]

Can't wait to see the numbers for Uncharted 4 and Halo 5

 

[Kleegamefan]

Lol just because it charted doesn't mean it did well. #7 ain't so great.

It's better than a lot of other games

Basically consoles are dead.

Better pre order an Apple TV.

4-5 days though.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

The only thing that would have been better is a chart with USA vs worldwide and the green bars where in the same places

Lol

 

[Silent Chief]

Nah. Just means they need to pack in a bigger TV this month.

Just throw in an iPad Pro. I might bite.

Yes, PS3 holidays sales in 2008 was crap.
The PS3 sales in 2008 was pretty good in the normal months, better than PS4 in 2015 and 2014, but with those holidays, PS4 will easy sell more.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Its always nice when a new IP can do respectable numbers, so way to go Until Dawn. You did good.

 

[theprodigy]

Lol

Then it would be really inaccurate, ruining the joke.

 

[foolishoptimist]

Uncharted has no where near the popularity of Halo.

It's traditionally had stronger sales than uncharted, but the 360 lead in console sales for that gen also.
It'll be interesting to see how sales compare to previous installments.
With the change to 343i, then MCC issues, and releasing on the #2 platform.

It should still win. New game vs remasters. But the numbers will be interesting.
