August 2017 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, September 5th
I believe it's included in September NPD, not this one.
Madden was always going to be #1

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy entered the chart as the third best-selling game of the month. This position includes only sales of the standalone software, not sales of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy that were included as part of the Uncharted 4 Digital Deluxe Edition, or as part of the Uncharted 4 Explorer's Pack.
Oh thanks for the head's up

how could you expect a $40 single platform exclusive "standalone expansion" to be #1 over Madden?
note this chart is based on revenue...
for real? yeah so a part of the hardcore UC fanbase already got the game for free
p.s.
#3 is still very good, tho
Also it was available for free for dlc pass owners, which probably took away some percentage as well.

The number of season pass owners ain't gonna be that high
....what?
You mean sony developed games? If so, then duh?
You mean games on a Sony platform? Then you're wrong, there's 3.
Either way your post doesn't make sense...

You expected a platform-exclusive DLC to beat Madden? Lol ok.

How do you know.
The triple pack cost 25 dollars before the price hike and ND let people know that. I'm sure quite a few people bought that as well.
Again #3 on that list is very good especially based on revenue of a game that's $40.

Just noticed Agents of Mayhem....yikes.
Hey Mat, thanks for being here to answer questions! How difficult did you find it to make a prediction for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, seeing as the game would be free for a subsequent of Uncharted IV owners? I doubt there was much precedent to base a prediction on.
Which universe are you living in where an Uncharted game, let alone an addon, sells more than Madden in US?

when can we expect the platform specific charts to come?

Oh shit, Zelda's at number 5? That's pretty high, no?
Nice hold fro Spal2oon. Good to see TLL and Crash in top 10.
X releasing in November?
I would say yes considering it was released long ago at this point.

Zelda continues to stay at top 5.
In fact I thinks its been at 5th for a while. Wonder if they can reach 10 million WW.
Also, I didn't realize Madden released.

In the good old USA. Not a chance over Madden. Heck even UC4 would not beat Madden.

You people are out of the loop when they think Madden is some small time franchise lol.
Huh? Madden has been one of the top5 best selling games every year going back for about 2 decades now.

In what may have been a serious mistake, I've recorded a video talking about all of August's highlights as well as a look ahead to September.
It's a bit dry, has a lot of charts and is written in the language of corporate America, otherwise known as PowerPoint.

GTA V never ceases to amaze me. Second for the month after years of sales. Also looking at those platform specific charts Switch seems to have rather sharp drop in software sales after top 3. Zelda fifth in all formats chart and ARMS not even in top 20 while in platform specific charts it's just after Zelda.

thanks so much
now i see Forza Horizon at #5 Xbox One chart is #17 overall, while MLB at #6 on Ps4 is not in the top 20 at all
and that is totally contrary to May, where Forza Horizon at #6 on Xbox One was nowhere in the top 20 overall, but Farpoint at #7 on Ps4 charted #16 overall
conclusion: platform specific chart positions can not be used at all to gauge overall sales and performance. to much unknown

Mario Kart 8 rankings include sales of both Switch and Wii U versions.
Mat August was a 4 week month, not 5
LOL. Son of a.
But that would suggest Mario Kart 8 should be above Zelda in the general top 20, which it isn't.

Zelda has a Wii U version as well.
Hey thanks! That was way harder to put together than I thought, and took way longer to record, and I still have a bit of a corporate drone thing going. Seriously, I have a completely new found respect for people that put together videos for a living.
Right, so that would suggest that the Zelda Wii U version is putting in some decent legwork in support of the total number for BOTW, then. Either that, or the difference MK8D Switch - BOTW Switch is very small and as a result the WiiU version of BOTW needs to outsell the MK8 Wii U version by a small bit as well ( although, judging by the fact that there's another game between the two in the top 20, I think BOTW WiiU will have needed to do decently in order to bridge the gap).

very informative and easy to understand. good listening
most interesting take for me:
the resurge of the racing genre.
and the year is not even done yet with Forza Motorsport 7, Gran Turismo Sport, Project Cars 2 and Need for Speed: Payback still coming out
omg

Yeah it looks easy enough at first and then it hits you. Just have to get into the groove of things.
And say the required phrase at the end of any YouTube video.

It does not. It only includes retail and regular digital no season pass.
