May releases that sold more in month 2 than in launch month, sales >50k per month:
2015 - Splatoon, Farming Simulator 15
2014 - Mario Kart 8
2013 - DK Country Returns
2012 - Dargon's Dogma
2011 - DiRT 3
So it's actually a much more common occurrence than I'd thought. Nothing as "core" as Overwatch though. Mostly Nintendo stuff.

Dargon's Dogma was the best game of the last generation, so it's only natural it would've sold more in the second month.

I'll give this comment "The Mary"
Dargon's Dogma is a fine game though. But who is Dargon, anyway?
One of the few games I got the platinum trophy on. Well worth it.

WoFF is love!!!
In Japan I'm 70% sure it will sell more.
In US I believe it will outsell one version of the game... the PS4 version... combined FFXV will sell more.
FFXV is that bad in gameplay

WoFF doesn't have more appeal that a new main (numbered) FF.
In US the chances of outsell PS4 version of FF XV is 0%. In Japan despite being on PS4 and Vita, is highly unlikely that beats FF XV.

By the way... Did edson farley make a prediction?
So here's a thought: Am I crazy in thinking that MS will get WatchDoges 2 marketing?
Unity (Xbox) ----> Syndicate (Playstation)
Watchdogs (Playstation) ------> Watchdogs 2 (???)
would be in line with Ubi wanting to keep everyone happy.

What'd he say now, what'd I miss?
I doubt this is about keeping everyone happy
These are business deals, the main reason why Microsoft got the AC Unity marketing deal was because they were planning to buy a few million of units from Ubisoft to make holiday bundles.

Wut.
No.
Look, I'm excited for World of Final Fantasy, but it's likely that the PS4 sku of it will barely outsell the XB1 sku for XV. There's no way in hell it will come anywhere close to the PS4 sku of XV. Our preorders for WoFF are barely registering by comparison. It's a one off, spin-off with a bizarre style, it's going to have to prove itself worthwhile, and it's not going to do anything by comparison.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but there's growing excitement for XV, but WoFF is coasting very much under the radar. (Also, most people are more than okay with the change away from the turn based system, like myself, having either is fine)

So I just watched the WOFF trailer.
I have no idea what I just watched.
There's normal people, little people, trash cans, what the hell is happening here. This is a JRPG yeah? Like a standard one, or some offshoot? I don't get it lol.
The people can shrink or grow? I mean it seems interesting.

Yeah said x1 would win by 40 k lol, then said he heard numerous reports of people not buying PS4 because of neo and some other nonsense. Then he got banned.
Yes he predicted 790K for 3DS and XBO outselling PS4 by 40K thanks the multiple sources.

you need to get over your XV hate man.
Don't buy it if you're so sure you don't like it but stop pretending that it's going to crash and burn because you've decided it is a terrible game before release.

It won't outsell FFXV anywhere. That is a Vita game with a PS4 port and will sell just as bad on both consoles.
Unless you are joking, of course.
Less than 40 minutes left to post/edit predictions!

A tonne of games are bad in gameplay and sell a tonne, see Skyrim, FF 15 will sell on name alone.
That's what i think too.
If it was a New 3DS pricedrop things would have been way difference...

Lmao dude don't do that.
He won't, he's like Wagram in XV threads.
So Paragon just surprise released a $60 version of their game at retail with absolutely 0 fan fare or advertising that I am aware of. What's even more confusing is that its a free to play game.
I feel like MOBAs on console are just not gonna happen at this point either be it through confusing business/marketing decisions of the publishing parties or generally unappealing game design. I'm just not sure console is the place for MOBAs to begin with. Consoles arent exactly known for their cooperative and team based multiplayer communities... Regardless it seems like yet another MOBA is going to crash and burn on console. This one might actually make Battleborn look like a success in comparison.
Wait what?!?!?!? Dont even joke about that. Thats just cruel man.

Final Fantasy is so masculine now without female characters. Shouldn't call it XV but XY.
So I just witnessed this statement claiming Quantum Break was a "definite success"
According to this poster apparently Greenberg called the game a success. Can somebody please find this Greenberg quote? I honestly can't believe it.

Hey, in your wildest dreams, anything is possible, so I say ignore those delusions and leave that dreamland.
A "definite success" because it became the biggest-selling new Microsoft Studios published IP this generation. Lmao.... this is still PR comedy gold.

If it is a Greenberg quote, everything's possible...
I don't understand how that could be true given that we know for a fact that Ryse sold substantially better. What am I missing here? At least I assume I'm missing something as that's usually how it is with their PR.
That was in reference to preorders. I'm talking about some statement claiming the game was success post release.
Edit: Nevermind apparently the poster is defining "definite success" as a reflection of the quality of the game and not its profitability or sales... Yea it didn't make any sense to me either.
IIRC, Greeberg never mentioned "definite success". But he said this :

But honestly, Ryse is no new IP. The game is quite old by now.

I think I recall something about 1st week of sales or something. Hazy, but it was one of those MS it's-true-but-still-misleading-but-hey-it's-true-so-boom kind of lines. The "X is the best-selling* Y ever!" lines.

Why do you care about incorrect sales assumptions outside of these sales threads? You seem to take it personally.
slavesnyder

If there are sales discussions outside, it's nice someone in here gives a hint. You can't watch all the threads all the time and with this system, bookmarking the npd thread gives a nice alert whenever something of interest happens.
And of course Rex takes incorrect sales assumptions personal. We all should.
Other question:
Will R&C second month be higher than Quantum Break's first?

Hopefully? R&C is amazing.
