May 2016 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes June 7th

So much hyperbole. UC4 didn't hit a million, but that's without bundles and digital factored in. I'm sure when you consider those it's probably somewhere over a million. What you should take away from this is: NPD is growing increasingly irrelevant for determining software numbers.

This is true. I wish the gaming industry was tracked like the film industry. I like transparency.
 
How many units constitute a flop?

Gauging whether something is a flop or not can't really be measured by a title being or not being in the top 10.

Wow, UC4 N°1 I'd have thought Overwatch would take the spot.

Again, that number included digital sales. If you take out, let's say 25% of digital copies you get ~2 million.

And 30% of this is "only" 600K.



Okey man.

Well actually that would be 810K(2,700,000 *.30). Well either way it looks like UC4 sales slowed down drastically. Maybe that 40 rating killed they hype. LOL!

This shows me how bundles affect the sales of games at retail.

You don't know this, digital and bundles are also not counted. Based on other charts the drop was within normal levels...

“Uncharted 4 also marked the best first month of sales for any game in the Uncharted series after Uncharted 3, which is remarkable given the fact that it launched during the holiday period in November 2011,” said Callahan. “The success of Uncharted helped Sony rank as the leading software publisher for May 2016.”

Oh and MLB The Show still rocks, as always.
