Nothing against ZhugeEX but since when did he become an analyst?
I say ~300k for Ratchet & Clank. Fight me! :O
My predictions for the biggest new releases of the month:
Dark Souls III - 515,000
Ratchet & Clank - 205,000
Quantum Break - 180,000
Star Fox Zero - 130,000
Bonus question: Am I a banjo player if I can play a banjo?
I say ~200K but ~300K would be fantastic!I say ~300k for Ratchet & Clank. Fight me! :O
My prediction is that quantum break falls like a rock. It's sank so fast in our stores to join the ranks of largely forgotten titles. Oy. No momentum at all.
Uncharted verily exploded though. Very positive so far. Our Sony rep is ecstatic. Exceptional results in the word of mouth and the reception around the game, but we'll see if it holds up for any length of time. It is a slow time of year, so maybe that will help give it staying power.
How did R&C do if you don't mind me asking.

I have adjusted up my Ratchet & Clank prediction because I now realize that it was released in the US a week earlier.

I usually never predict anything, but I'll take a chance on a wild and bold prediction:
MLB 16 above Quantum Break
Not that bold.

In my opinion, we have quite a bunch of analysts here in sales GAF that might not earn their money with it (yet), but who provide great service. I would not be surprised if in the end some well-paid analysts get some inspiration from the work of passion.
Reminds me to watch the gametrailers-Neogaf-documentary once again. In the end, Pachter led me here for the first time.Indeed they do.
Customers get the numbers about now.Don't we usually get it like 5-6pm est

... thread is not moving for the last 10 minutes on NPD evening... I hope not that everyone now is watching the gametrailers-Neogaf-documentary.
"Quantum Break made more revenue than Ratchet and Clank*"Ah ok thx
"Quantum break is the best selling TV show/game hybrid in Xbox history"
Wonderful."Quantum Break made more revenue than Ratchet and Clank*"
*the movie, not the game, but this is written in such a small font that you won't be able to notice any way, so suck it. Plus, we've already done this with SPECTRE, so there's precedence. Why do you care anyway, GAF? I've got kids to feed. You try coming up with this shit month over month.
Rex! Your formatting! Ahhhh!
XB1: 160k
PS4: 187k
WiiU: 39k
3DS: 109k
Rex what you done.

Just out of interest: How low does it have to sell to be considered as dead?Battleborn the new poster child of a game being sent to die.

That would be amazing growth. I think DS2 was well below 300K in its first month.
Of course you didnt - but knowing Donnny he probably had a look through at stuff that couldnt be parsed and manually fixed it so it could be includedDonny please tell me I fixed it in time! In my excitement to post after my long ban I completely forgot the proper formatting T_T

It will be beaten clearly by overwatch. Okay. It will constantly be compared to overwatch. Fair. But is it impossible that it sells well enough to do just fine?
you already know the winner but just don't want to accept itCan't someone leak the winner? Or have the company churn out pr quicker? I'm bored at work.

It's as everyone predicted.Can't someone leak the winner?

Well according to Gearbox themselves, it's only barely tracking ahead of Borderlands 1. Borderlands 1 didn't sell well at launch, it ended up gaining steam post launch once word of mouth hit about how good the game was. Battleborn also likely cost much more to make than Borderlands 1 did.
Battleborn isn't getting that word of mouth.
The first week UK sales of it had it barely outselling BLOPS III on the combined SKU's by like 100 units and to less than 18k total units sold. On the individual charts it got outsold by third week Ratchet and Clank and months old PS4 BLOPS III. The game basically debuted to a wet fart and with Overwatch looming there's pretty much no hope for it to try to establish a player base.
