To be fair most Sony AAA exclusives title aside from uncharted 4 (come on) and bloodborne has failed miserably financially imo. I think Microsoft exclusives are doing better.

I thought inFamous:Second Son was a pretty big success since it sold over a million copies within a week. Even Killzone sold over 2 million, and Knack sold over a million.

Isn't The Order the only title couldn't even hit a million, and now SFV which is Multiplatform.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Holy shit, pokken did better than I thought it would. I figured fighting game + near dead wii u was too much to overcome.

And double holy shit, I live in a world where a pokemon fighter is stomping street fighter in sales.

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but please tell me how Bloodborne failed?

 

[Gunslinger]

Didnt killzone do 2 million+?

Horizon 2?

Killzone 2 was launch title. People had no choice to get it. Especially ps4 fos players.

 

[Nuu]

Does anyone know what the Wii U sales numbers are? Pokken and Zelda being so high have me intrigued.

Until Dawn sold well too. Dunno what he's talking about...

street fighter

more like road kill


huehuehuehue. but thats what you get for releasing a half finished product

 

[PreyingShark]

Should be in the ballpark of 4 million in the US.

 

[Obliterator]

MS can win april.

That's would be pretty shocking to me

Sony's going to have their hands full with PS VR in October. They're going to do just fine I think.

Oh wow good point PSVR is October and they could time a price drop to coincidence with its launch.

Honestly Xbone may not win a single month this year

 

[Javin98]

MS can win april.

Considering that even Ratchet and Clank could outsell Quantum Break if the UK is any indication for the latter's sales? I doubt it.

 

[Gunslinger]

Until Dawn sold well too. Dunno what he's talking about...

Where did I say it failed?

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but please tell me how Bloodborne failed?

Oh yeah forgot about that one. I am sure that one did good.

Edit: switch the replies. I responded inversely.

The WiiU LTD is over 5 million in the US.

It would be in Sony best interest to time a price drop for PS4 with the launch of VR

 

[sturgboski]

Yeah the only one I can't think of a press release for that they were actively pushing is the Order. Until Dawn they seemed to dump out with little fanfare from Sony, yet I believe it did well. So yeah, the Order and SFV are the only true failures I can think of. Coincidentally, both are extremely short on content.

 

[pixellated_man]

Nope. Infamous Second Son, Driveclub, Knack and Killzone have all done well. I think over 2 million each. And right now Ratchet and Clank seems to be doing well over expectations.
And I think Until Dawn sold beyond Sony's expectations as well. Enough to prompt a VR (sort of) sequel.

 

[Boke1879]

Didn't you say Bloodborne failed financially?

 

[Kurt Angle]

I feel sorry for Capcom. They release a great product in Street Fighter V and people didn't appreciate it.

youre not a "great" product when a pokemon fighter has more content than you

 

[Nuu]

I meant for this month.

 

[Obliterator]

Agreed. It would be really damn smart to have a $299 PS4 available at VR launch

 

[Gunslinger]

How is SFv short on content? Most serious players got over 500+ hours of play time probably. It's short on content only if you are casual or rpg player or something . Order on the other hand had a 5 hours badly written with bad gameplay story mode.

 

[N.Domixis]

Didn't you say Bloodborne failed financially?

just add a comma

 

[bachikarn]

Anyone have any data on how the WW remake compares to TP remake sales? I think most people would agree realistic Zelda's sell better, but would be nice to have some more data. The two would be in pretty similar situations.

 

[Gunslinger]

Didn't you say Bloodborne failed financially?

I don't think I said that....

 

[allan-bh]

April is a slow month and will be the first full month with Xbox One new price.

Killzone and Infamous sold well. We know Driveclub got over 2 million. MLB the show is selling.

 

[Boke1879]

I don't think I said that....

My bad bro lol. I completely read it wrong.

But that said. I think outside of The Order I think most of their exclusives are hitting their targets. Excluding SFV

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

you mean evo right?

Honestly, Street Fighter V faceplanting isn't great for top players of the game. Whatever future lies for the game, there's less likely for there to be huge prize pools...which destroys anyone's attempts into making competitive SF their career.

Spectating the game early is good for stream monsters though.

no i meant E3

 

[jett]

Pokken Fighter vastly outselling SFV is hilarious for all sorts of reasons.

 

[Glorified G]

nvm.

 

[Gunslinger]

Where did sfv fail where battlefront succeeded tremendously. No even a millions sp lover or kotor series player hate couldn't stop it but sfv couldn't overcome that. Is it because of the star wars name? I mean can't be right? Swtor failed miserably too went f2p less than a year....

 

[Duxxy3]

Is it possible that we've already hit near the saturation point for new consoles already? Sales should be going UP, not down.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Because, in that thread, there was quite an aggressive and negative approach towards those, like myself, who suggested a number that was lower than the average numbers being thrown around.

Oh, so an eye for an eye approach rather than a sensible approach.

 

[thefro]

I think PS4/XB1 sales have been front-loaded compared to the 360/PS3 generation.

Most of the posts/threads/opinions on why it has underperformed point to the lack of SP content as a major cause of the poor WoM the game has, so there's clearly done substance to the claim.

Sales are going up for the new consoles

I agree with you that causal voice win this time when it comes to the sfv hate bandwagon but I wonder why vocal minority failed to stop battlefront suceess. Is it because star wars?

Sales did go up for the new consoles.

 

[balohna]

Never would have guessed Pokken beating SFV.

 

[Kastrioti]

I think PS4/XB1 sales have been front-loaded compared to the 360/PS3 generation.

You're right and there are a variety of reasons for that. But as the industry changes so does the look of the console industry.

That's why we'll see both PS4K and Xbox 1.5 at this years E3 so both companies can have steady sales in the next 2-3 years.

I'm pretty shocked at how badly SFV performed. Capcom should have also released it on the Xbox One.

They forgot the Street Fighter franchise got the revitalization it needed when SF4 released on the 360 years back.

 

[LordBaztion]

Glad to see Ubisoft is doing well. I'm going to miss my AC this year, though.

 

[maxiell]

Mediocre or disappointing sales can be rationalized or analyzed through smaller factors. Street Fighter V was such a complete disaster that there is only one conceivable explanation: regardless of quality, no one wanted the product.

As for the performance of the Wii U titles, if Sony or Microsoft had only a few titles period for their platform in a calendar year, I bet they would sell fantastic, too.

 

[Compbros]

No, it's short on content regardless of what type of player you are. The enjoyment those players find in the game isn't based on the lack of nor abundance of content but the mechanics and gameplay.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Cream, please save me....

 

[TheRealTalker]

Nice to see MLB chart

SFV what are you doing in life

that special looks cool and all but with a blast like that he just killed his trainer too

 

[jrDev]

So much crow lol

http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1077850

Lol I was on point when I made this post:

Based on the estimates in here, you would think SF sells more than Mortal Kombat or Smash Bros, not gonna happen...it will be happy to hit 1 million for the PS4...

I forgot I even responded in that thread.

hope capcom likes the sales they got from the 500 hour "hardcores"

 

[Qwyjibo]

I really regret buying Street Fighter 5. I don't know if I can say that about any other game purchase I've made in the last few years.

I knew the content would be limited at the start but THIS limited? Ugh. Hopefully the big June (or whenever) update will win back some of the people who already bought the game. Unfortunately, it might be too late for to get everyone else on board. And I can't blame those people.

It's too late imo. Sfv will be lucky to hit 1 mil in 5 years imo.

Right, no wonder all those Nintendo games chart when they launch...
