Is this the order of which versions sold the most? If that's the case, seeing the Xbone version selling less than last-gen versions would be worrying.

Just for the month not LTD

 

[Canis lupus]

PvZ on PS4 bomberz

 

[Rubixcuba]

Mario Kart 8

 

[Nirolak]

6. Lego Marvel Super Heroes (360, PS3, Wii U, PS4, 3DS, DS, Xbox One, Vita, PC)
10. The Lego Movie Videogame (360, 3DS, PS3, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, Vita)

So Lego continues to sell fine on the Wii U, yet that's the version getting the gimped Lego Batman version with no DLC? I really just don't get it.

The DLC attach rate with that audience might be really bad.

 

[jbug617]

So Madden includes the One Bundles? Uh-oh

I don't think they do. I think they are included in the UK.

 

[Welfare]

The ranking in the OP (PS4 > XBO > 360 > PS3) doesn't include hardware bundles.

So still a chance that Bundle+Standalone One>PS4? In MS case, I hope so.

 

[Chezzymann]

Minecraft, proving yet again how insanely dominant one game can be.

 

[lightning2k3]

Madden on PS4 selling more is surprising, but since NPD doesnt count bundles most Xbone owners might have got it from the bundle.

You'd probably need to see the DLC eShop numbers. It's quite possible the DLC attach rate is lower on the Wii U.

EDIT: Beaten

 

[Rymuth]

Nice to see TLOU in the top 5.

 

[BY2K]

I can't believe Watch_Dogs is still selling...

Mario Kart 8 dropped out, too.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Mario Kart finally got bump off the top 10.

Just realized that. Some of those in the Top 10 can't be that high either. Bad sign

 

[onQ123]

Why are people still buying Ghosts? lol

Also, good to see PvZ up there. Good game.

It was like $20

So Lego continues to sell fine on the Wii U, yet that's the version getting the gimped Lego Batman version with no DLC? I really just don't get it. Also lol at the DS > XB1 > Vita there...

That's a great example of why Warner Bros. continues to support the Wii U with LEGO titles.

 

[Fergie]

The coming months is going to be interesting. So many releases.

 

[hawk2025]

As usual the numbers probably don't include the bundled software, although as far as representing actual demand goes, I imagine it's moot regardless since the bundle has in practice added the game in for free.

 

[JaggedSac]

Madden on PS4 selling more is surprising, but since NPD doesnt count bundles most Xbone owners might have got it from the bundle.

Why is that surprising? How many more PS4s are there in US?

 

[FlyStarJay]

yup going to rest, till we know hardware; who won, who lost

 

[MoeB]

Madden #1 on PS4 is scary.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Do we know if digital is making up for the drop in retail software sales?

The ratio of digital sales Ubisoft announced would suggest not if they are representative.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Minecraft will stay on the charts for a very long time.

 

[astrogamer]

The ranking in the OP (PS4 > XBO > 360 > PS3) doesn't include hardware bundles.

So with bundles, I presume XBO>PS4 or are you just stating a fact

 

[Darknight]

So what happened? Did Xbone outsell the PS4 this month?

Month looks dull as heck but numbers look healthy.

 

[Steverulez]

Why is that surprising? How many more PS4s are there in US?

About 700/800k I thought it was?

 

[Loudninja]

I dont think the Madden bundle would make much difference here.

 

[Coolluck]

No Mario Kart 8 in the Top 10 is depressing. Was that expected to happen this soon?

 

[NateDrake]

Sony NPD statement:

Below are the PlayStation highlights from the August NPD report:

· PlayStation 4 was #1 in hardware sales for the eighth consecutive month and remains the cumulative leader for next generation game consoles.

· PlayStation led the month for next generation software with Madden NFL 15 for PS4 taking the #1 spot for overall software sales.

· Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition and Madden NFL 15 had their strongest sales on PS4 and were the biggest third party releases of the month.

· The Last of Us Remastered continues to have strong momentum on PS4; it was the top selling first-party title in August.

· For the third consecutive month, PlayStation was #1 in combined home console hardware sales (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3).

 

[ZSaberLink]

The DLC attach rate with that audience might be really bad.

But isn't this the first Lego DLC ever? There's barely ever been DLC on the Wii U past launch if I'm not mistaken. For the games that sold horribly, I get it, but if there's actually an install base, it seems really weird to me, especially in the case of Lego where I believe this is the first time.

 

[Aquamarine]

I'm just stating a fact...don't read into my posts!

If people charged $20 for a pile of shit it's still not a bargain.

I thought it was just the season pass Wii U wasn't getting, not necessarily the dlc itself

 

[RandyBobandy]

Madden #1 on PS4 is scary.

Why? It shouldn't be at all :Lol

They're beating MS comfortably in sales, ofc it will sell more

Madden bundle doubled Xbox One console sales?

“Xbox One sales are on a positive trajectory, nearly doubling sales in August in the U.S. compared to July due in part to strong demand for the Xbox One Madden NFL 15’bundle. The holiday season is upon us we’re looking forward to bringing the best value bundles, incredible offers like the ‘Buy a Console Get a Game Free’ promotion running now and more great games as we gear up for the launches of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Destiny, Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

[hawk2025]

Why is that surprising? How many more PS4s are there in US?

Approximately 700k, as of last month, or around 23%.

It's still nevertheless surprising given previous generation's audience split and the marketing deal.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

The DLC attach rate with that audience might be really bad.

How bad does it have to be to not include DLC? I just don't get it. Not having a physical release makes sense if the game doesn't sell, but it can't cost THAT much to include DLC on another platform (especially one that sells more copies of software than its "next-gen" rivals). If it was about bad attach rate, they should just have a lot of platform specific DLC sales to get the WiiU audience used to the idea of DLC.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Why is that surprising? How many more PS4s are there in US?

Not more than 360s or PS3s.

What this means is those owners have begun upgrading. Changing of the guard.

 

[Neuromancer]

Well at least software sales for CoD, the most important franchise, were higher on X1 than PS4 last month. That's something to hold onto.

 

[TURBO1112]

Minecraft cant be stopped. What you guys think it will place in next NPD with Current Gen release?

 

[xxracerxx]

Madden on PS4 selling more is surprising, but since NPD doesnt count bundles most Xbone owners might have got it from the bundle.

edit: Poorly written joke.

 

[Koralsky]

Mario Kart 8 is gone?

 

[Nirolak]

But isn't this the first Lego DLC ever?

I'm unsure actually, but I was more thinking Warner games on the Wii U in general.

That said I'm not sure if Warner DLC ever released on Wii U.

 

[RedHotChimiChanga]

Obviously it would be higher on PS4. There's just more PS4s out there.

http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/11/august-2014-npd-madden-sells-better-on-ps4-than-xbox-one/

...that.. Doesn't seem right. I guess we'll see though.

 

[C4Lukins]

Madden still sold more on PS4?

Hard to say. Madden bundles plus EA access giving incentives to buy digitally on XOne make it difficult to tell.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Sony NPD statement:

Wow are we eventually going to get a 360 Microsoft version of Sony in regards to NPD?

They're slowly but surely releasing more information every month

 

[Chobel]

“The combined PS4 and Xbox One hardware sales are greater by over 70 percent compared to their predecessors.”

Can someone use the math and give us PS4+XBO sales for August?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Madden bundle doubled Xbox One console sales?



http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/11/august-2014-npd-madden-sells-better-on-ps4-than-xbox-one/

That has to be shipped. That is not what the data is showing for sell-through.

 

[gigantor21]

PR statement from MS:

“Xbox One sales are on a positive trajectory, nearly doubling sales in August in the U.S. compared to July due in part to strong demand for the Xbox One Madden NFL 15’bundle.

So it sounds like another Kinect-free situation, where it drove up sales dramatically but it still lost to the PS4.

Edit: Beaten by two goddamn minutes, LOL. XD

Good for TLoU.
