Seeing as how Digital isn't included with other games either (I fail to see how this matters too much)

For Honor #1... really?!?
thisisneogaf.gifvery happy to see For Honor at number 1. Hopefully its the start of a big new franchise for Ubi
Nice that Nioh managed to chart, deserves to be even higher.
For anyone wondering, Horizon will be in the March results.
Surprised software sales were down so much in Feb. Seemed like that would have been in good shape given the number of quality releases.
Or it's a cool game with potential.People have shit taste.

Halo Wars 2 wasn't in the NPD top 10 last month, but it was the 6th best selling SKU on Xbox One.
That's still not good, right?
Yeah but what about hardware?
Well, hardware pricing causing less revenue isn't too odd, but the hardware units going down suggests we're in the decline phase of the generation, and is less good. That's probably not too surprising though, given a generation is only likely to last ~6 years total and we're at year 3.
The software comp is against... it's not astonishing software, but it's only 14% down there, and arguably had bigger releases: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1196083
If you were hoping for an extended generation though, that's probably not likely.

No matter how u try and phrase this it does indeed sound salty. Was for honor not a brand new concept and a new ip what's the problemYeah, didn't notice that (I even missed Siege as I just ran across the top and bottom a bit)
I admit to not be a lover of high sales in some sort of way that many of us do. I appreciate games being made that I like and honestly
it isn't salt, it isn't being hurt but the way I really see it is that if games that are rather poor in my eyes are doing good (for honor, ghosts wild) I see it as something that will continue from said publisher or be copied a bit over into other games and will continue to drive games like Nioh that feel more inspired and have better design IMO to be driven out of the industry
As we have seen from arcade racers and horror titles or good first person shooter campaigns etc
Now, I am all for diversity but it seems marketing is winning out over solid made games. I get that sounds a bit salty though, but hopefully my idea is a little more clear over that.
halo wars 2 came out feb 21st
Is it top 10 in the Windows Store?No idea. But its a RTS on console and it had a strong incentive to get digital.
I meant February, so did it not chart because it came out so late in the month and was overtaken by games that were out the whole month? Or did it just not sell that well?

On March 19, 2009, Microsoft announced that the game had sold 1 million units and that players had spent 118 total years of time in online skirmish matches.According to NPD Group's March sales figures, Halo Wars sold 639,000 copies in the U.S. through March,] making it the third best-selling game in the market.
Is is top 10 in the Windows Store?
Here is what i found for halo wars 1
i am going to say halo wars 2 didn't perform as well as halo wars 1 did retail wise.
I'm not understanding this mindset. there are plenty games I don't like I will never be upset they sold well ever. What Ubisoft does will be completely different from othersbad net code is mostly the issue but I'm more against wildlands selling well than this game honestly. Cause it's just too rough and exhausting in design for my tastes.
I mean it's a console RTS. You can't compare it to halo wars 1 because how many people had no idea what they were buying when they bought it just because it said haloThat's still not good, right?

I think it's safe to say it bombed in retails. They are nowhere near gonna reach the first game's numbers and For Honor took all the thunder away from it.Probably not anymore. The store updates every couple of days. It was arround top 3 arround release.
bad net code is mostly the issue but I'm more against wildlands selling well than this game honestly. Cause it's just too rough and exhausting in design for my tastes and the open world thing is going too far into too many games without any level design that fits for what I like (which sure, I have to speak for myself and games Iike) but with sony going the ubi soft route a little too hard (and honestly seem to be investing in it with Kojima too) it does worry me as a gamer and for all the games I've already lost ...
GTA V still as high as ever, we're not getting another GTA for a very long time are we ?

I can see that, but I'm not sure how I would say it isn't eitherNo. Its nice you tried to justify it, but hoping a game sells poorly because you ultimately aren't into it is a toxic attitude

I'll end this here than...Ubisoft has been the one doing overly sell on open worlds or pushing games that are collecting heavy. It has become more common for them over the years (even steep....) and it has been a more than obvious change in sony's development as well IMO even though some will disagree with me for sure but I do feel like any time I watch new AAA game trailers it seems to be all about open world at least half the time. (views, likes etc)
So, I am hoping for games like Nioh, Re7 to do even better so more games like that come out instead of getting pushed to the side or completely not made at all.
I feel the mindset that an open world has is more strong than the actual product being good/better than what it actually is. I feel it's more marketing and impressionism than anything at this point. That is my main concern and where I feel it isn't just being salty. I feel a lot of those titles are a bit objectively bad and not just subjectively.
I think it's safe to say it bombed in retails. They are nowhere near gonna reach the first game's numbers and For Honor took all the thunder away from it.
Also, Halo Wars 2 is nowhere to be seen at all. I expected a low debut but I did not expect it not to chart.
Gaf's indifference towards Ubisoft is never more clearly highlighted than in sales threads.
They had better make a new handheld after the 3DS. The market can very clearly still support one. Little bugger just keeps chugging along man.
GTA V never stops. March will be really interesting. Have to guess Zelda would top the list, but I have no idea how many Switch units were actually made available here.
