It becomes Sony’s 2nd biggest ever PS4 launch (behind Uncharted 4) and Sony’s biggest launch for a new IP on PS4. In terms of new IP across all publishers and Sony formats it sits 5th behind Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3). Last week’s No1 ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-22%) drops to No2 while the rest of the Top 10 shuffles amongst itself. ‘Mario & Sonic: Rio 2016 Olympic Games’ (+12%) climbs 8 places to No15, its highest ever chart position, as the Olympic Games itself gets underway.

[Guymelef]

It becomes Sony’s 2nd biggest ever PS4 launch (behind Uncharted 4) and Sony’s biggest launch for a new IP on PS4.

wow

 

[tolkir]

Sony’s biggest launch for a new IP on PS4

Bloodborne was robbed.

 

[Bruno MB]

Wow at No Man's Sky, it sold over 100,000 units!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Woww


edit:
100K!

sheesh. Wonder when the 1 or 2 million announcement will come

 

[Pankratous]

Congrats Hello Games.

 

[gtj1092]

NMS doing work. Hope it has the same success world wide.

 

[redblack85]

Nice numbers for NMS

 

[Kyonashi]

Yeah it's very comfortably over 100k, Sony's marketing paid off.

 

[Mokubba]

Was not expecting that.

What was the marketing presence like for NMS?

I didn't see any adverts on billboards or on buses.

 

[Mpl90]

Impressive debut for No Man's Sky, wild actually.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I still get so surprised when I see Minecraft STILL selling so well. Talk about milking that cow to the bone!

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

A masterclass in the power of Marketing.

 

[Rymuth]

Solid results for NMS, Sony marketed the game well.

Were we to see the same treatment for Gravity Rush 2...

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Great news for Hello Games, i have already put in over 30 hours myself and have been loving it so far.

Hopefully the mixed reviews don't hurt its legs too much and HG continue to expand on the content as they originally planned because i know they want to continue to add things to do and grow the scope of the game long term.

 

[IvanJ]

I am so happy for NMS and Hello Games, they deserve this success. They made a wonderful game and given me dozens of hours of enjoyment already (and robbed me of so much sleep in the process).
This news has really made my day.

 

[Shin-chan]

Whatever people's opinion of the game, their release, marketing and pricing strategy clearly worked. It's sold better than Bloodborne which was itself a success and also likely considerably more expensive to develop.

People might point at zero legs next week (after the reviews and impressions hit - we'll see) but this game doesn't need them. It's probably already sold more than enough to pay for itself with such a small dev team.

 

[OléGunner]

Holy shit at NMS numbers
So happy for HG, they deserve this imo. Personally I'm enjoying the game quite a lot so far.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Solid results for NMS, Sony marketed the game well.

Were we to see the same treatment for Gravity Rush 2...

 

[Yabberwocky]

Congrats to Hello Games, that's a fantastic start. I'll never get tired of NMS' vistas. Or the phallic creatures. Both are good.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

I havent even seen a TV spot for it here in the UK yet,

What a crazy ride this game has given us, lol.

 

[NHale]

I hope publishers look at this and see they can release games anytime. This July-August dead period of the older times should end. People that play games are not just kids anymore.

If Konami was smart they should start releasing PES the weekend before the Premier League starts (it would have been last Friday) and see everyone wanting to get a new football game because of the excitement of the new season get it instead of waiting another month for FIFA.

Solid results for NMS, Sony marketed the game well.

Were we to see the same treatment for Gravity Rush 2...

You can spend the same marketing budget and it would still not sell as well. Some games appeal to the mainstream market much easier than others.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Wow. Good for Hello Games. I'm still enjoying the game and I'm looking forward to what the future holds for it.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I still get so surprised when I see Minecraft STILL selling so well. Talk about milking that cow to the bone!

I don't think a good game selling consistently well qualifies as 'milking'.

 

[wapplew]

Solid results for NMS, Sony marketed the game well.

Were we to see the same treatment for Gravity Rush 2...

18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planet is easy to sell, falling with style not so much.

 

[Primethius]

So over 100k in the UK and near 500k on Steam for NMS.

God, Hello Games must be really happy right now.

 

[dex3108]

And on PC NMS is already at 500K

 

[SxP]

If Konami was smart they should start releasing PES the weekend before the Premier League starts (it would have been last Friday) and see everyone wanting to get a new football game because of the excitement of the new season get it instead of waiting another month for FIFA.

Konami is too incompetent. They released before FIFA last year, but only updated the transfers at the end of October, then STILL missed the last transfer day and finally updated the game properly in December. So what's the point of releasing in August when you have to wait until December for the correct squads.

 

[Hasney]

Missed this thread entirely and bumped the old one. Great performance for NMS, good stuff.

 

[Guymelef]

In terms of new IP across all publishers and Sony formats it sits 5th behind Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3).

iirc The Division did ~150k on PS4.

That means NMS is > 150k, right?

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Hello Games buyout by WWS in 3, 2, 1...

 

[Hasney]

I havent even seen a TV spot for it here in the UK yet,

What a crazy ride this game has given us, lol.

Not seen it on TV, but the game started to piss me off when it was before every video I watched on YouTube.

 

[Conduit]

iirc The Division did ~150k on PS4.

That means NMS is > 150k, right?

Great numbers for NMS. Didn't expected that. Anyway, it's legit for NMS's >150k in launch week?

Bruno?

 

[Shambalakan]

Sean Murray wasn't lying about insane amount of people playing NMS!

 

[Creamium]

Wow, I don't think anyone expected that kind of debut, very impressive.

 

[Granjinha]

Hello Games buyout by WWS in 3, 2, 1...

with those numbers they can be indie and have whatever budget they want for their next game at the same time

especially with that 60 price tag

so, yeah, no

 

[Guymelef]

I feel NMS launch needs it's own thread.

 

[IAmAnAgnostic]

Wow, I don't think anyone expected that kind of debut, very impressive.

It did have an insane amount of hype for years. Interesting to see if it has any legs. (I'm almost 100% sure it won't have Minecraft-like legs, though)

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Great news for NMS. My opinion of it is highly mixed but I want it to succeed and grow.

Amazing achievement and shows again with the right backing and push, games can sell big in the slow months and potentially is the sweet spot to launch a new IP in there too.

 

[Wootball]

I'm still yet to see a single advert or TV spot for NMS in the UK.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Hello Games buyout by WWS in 3, 2, 1...

I don't think that will happen. I doubt they want to get bought out, and now they have an incredibly successful in-house IP to bring in a fair amount of money.

 

[Creamium]

It did have an insane amount of hype for years. Interesting to see if it has any legs. (I'm almost 100% sure it won't have Minecraft-like legs, though)

I know, but I didn't expect that hype to lead to these numbers, amazing for a new IP really.

 

[Primethius]

I feel NMS launch needs it's own thread.

Done.

Pretty insane numbers for the title.

 

[Bruno MB]

iirc The Division did ~150k on PS4.

That means NMS is > 150k, right?

GfK Chart-Track doesn't consider it a new IP, it is considered as a Tom Clancy title, also The Last of Us sold fewer copies than The Division.

 

[madmackem]

I havent even seen a TV spot for it here in the UK yet,

What a crazy ride this game has given us, lol.

Yeah me either, prime ad space on a weekend is football and staurday night and I didn't see one add for it. This will have sold well digitally on ps4 too, it's fiver cheaper than other titles in the uk and if you didn't order it online it was the same price in store as it was on psn.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

That's pretty huge number for NMS. Really well hyped/marketed game, especially considering low-ish reviews. Well done Hello Games!

 

[Conduit]

In terms of new IP across all publishers and Sony formats it sits 5th behind Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3).

If it is 5th biggest new IP launch across all publishers on PS4, that means NMS is above 149k on PS4.
.
The Division

So:
PS4 > 149,580

EDIT :

GfK Chart-Track doesn't consider it a new IP, it is considered as a Tom Clancy title, also The Last of Us sold fewer copies than The Division.

Any idea how much then for NMS?

 

[Bruno MB]

Can somebody check UK Steam sales?

http://steamspy.com/app/275850

 

[Kyonashi]

iirc The Division did ~150k on PS4.

That means NMS is > 150k, right?

Can confirm it's much closer to 100k than 150k.

 

[Guymelef]

GfK Chart-Track doesn't consider it a new IP, it is considered as a Tom Clancy title, also The Last of Us sold fewer copies than The Division.

Thanks for the clarification.
