§ PlayStation 4 games accounted for more than half of total next generation software sales.

B-b-but the PS4 has no games!

Joking aside, I'm happy to see TLOU on the top. It certainly deserves it.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Wow I thought this was in a couple of days. Knew that TLOUR was gonna decimate

 

[synce]

TLOU 2, let's go

 

[TheRealTalker]

nice on TLOU

no hardware numbers yet

man R.I.P site leaks

 

[RealityPales]

edit: apparently source wasn't trust worthy.

Anyway, good job TLOU.

His source is flawed unfortunately.

 

[BlackJace]

HOLY CRAP! MY WIFE JUST CAME HOME WITH A WII U AND A TON OF GAMES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!

HEART...ATTACK...

+1 for August NPD, y'all.

 

[Neuromancer]

Remaster at number one. This industry.

I prefer to think of it as, great game gets another release and an opportunity for a lot of people who missed it the first time. It's not a bad thing.

 

[prag16]

Two reasons:

• It was such a good game, people felt it was worth the asking price to doulble dip to play an even better version.
  
• People who own a PS4 that didn't have a PS3 last gen and wanted to play last years GOTY.

One more reason: Lineup otherwise isn't setting the world on fire quite yet.

 

[Korten]

1.5 million in a single day for a Remaster of a year old game is pretty impressive.

Sadly had to remove link, apparently the source isn't trust worthy so it may not have sold that much. D:

 

[Hubb]

lol i posted this convo last year but he might be right for the remaster i can see it being 300k. i am thinking 400k but 300k is very possible and he will be vindicated!!

only 300k before it "vanishes" no way in hell it only reaches 300k lifetime.

 

[Evenflow]

And yet is still well below 100k which is a pathetic number.

Never said the baseline wouldn't be higher than before. I'd said that the jump would be barely noticiable and still pathetic, and here we are.

Can everyone harping on about the wii u atleast acknowledge it sold 29k last July? Thats a pretty big year over year increase..

 

[TraBuch]

+1 for August NPD, y'all.

Unless she bought used.

 

[stryke]

It isn't? Alright, shall remove.

Lol, they've actually done a pretty good job anticipating Sony's sales announcements, but paying attention to sales numbers - it's not too difficult to get lucky.

Their supposed E3 leaks is what really makes them suss.

 

[FiggyCal]

Source is insidederp so not considered trustworthy tbh

But they were right about the 10 million.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Need the combo for this thread.

anyone notice he hits the eject button?

also, LOL

 

[David___]

Guys! The real battle is in September, October, November and December!!

 

[big_z]

These threads are kinda boring until proper hardware numbers pop up. Hopefully the wiiu gaf predicted numbers are a bit off. I see a good number of people buying wiiu when shopping so six figures would be nice but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Aquamarine]

Can everyone harping on about the wii u atleast acknowledge it sold 29k last July? Thats a pretty big year over year increase..

29K for any month is utterly pathetic.

You want to know the first month that the GameCube reached that level? April 2006.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Oh wow at TLoU; keep on keeping on! Naughty Dog and Sony have to be pretty proud about this.
Also, glad to see that MK8 made it over 1 million in the US; good job Nintendo/EAD.

Not my fault ppl wild theories crumbles so fast.

You're going pretty overboard with it...but hey, spiteful post and fan boy foolishness are a pretty prominent part of sales-age threads; why even bother pointing it out?
:/

 

[Xenon]

This reminds me. Where the fuck is Cerny. He's vanished for months now.

Working on Knack 2

that is ridiculously awesome

[FinalStageBoss]

300k and then vanish huh Gies?

Anyway, nice to see TLoU up there, deserves it.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Guys! The real battle is in September, October, November and December!!

What about smarch?

 

[sphinx]

waiting for Creamsugar to appear... until then it's idle chatter.

 

[MasterForm]

Wait a minute, TLOU came in first with only 3 or so days selling in July?

 

[SwiftDeath]

But they were right about the 10 million.

True but one potential leak a trusted source does not make

Bundy also believed Sony was to announce 10M at gamescom. I'm not about to believe everything he tells me

 

[Neuromancer]

Working on Knack 2

One can hope

 

[antitrop]

1. The Last of Us (PS4, PS3)

Oh that feels so good

 

[Puppet Shadow]

HOLY CRAP! MY WIFE JUST CAME HOME WITH A WII U AND A TON OF GAMES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!

HEART...ATTACK...

That's awesome! Have a great birthday and enjoy your new WiiU!

 

[Welfare]

But they were right about the 10 million.

I think most Gaffers were expecting they were at 10 million. Should we look at site-that-shall-not-be-named when they get a number right?

 

[Occam]

Haha godddamn, Gies is an idiot. Polygon is such a disaster. Kuchera probably thinks Nintendo won the NPD this month and is working on a graph to prove it.

You mean on a pie chart. That also contains the number of burgers served at MacDonald‘s.

 

[StoopKid]

HOLY CRAP! MY WIFE JUST CAME HOME WITH A WII U AND A TON OF GAMES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!

HEART...ATTACK...

Dat momentum.

 

[Heshinsi]

Nice month without surprises.
Microsoft is ecen more vague than usual though.

Spoiler

I still don't get why/how that many people are willing to pay more than 30$ for a one year old remaster though.

Because according to Sony, 40% of current PS4 owners didn't have a PS3. Are you expecting them to buy a PS3 to play the LoU, or buy the remastered PS4 version?

 

[Gator86]

What about smarch?

Numbers will probably be pretty high then. Lousy Smarch weather and all...

 

[DayEnder]

Polygon did an "analysis" article on historical Mario Kart game sales and tie ratio's with previous Nintendo Consoles and predicted MK8 would only have 1.2M lifetime sales worldwide. The game already surpassed that last month and is on the verge of beating it in ust the US alone.

Perfect, thanks for posting. MK8 is a great game and deserves solid sales.

 

[Salex_]

Remaster at number one. This industry.

It's an end of the generation new IP that sold over 7 million. Almost 50% of the userbase (most of those will likely be in the US) never owned a PS3.

What's wrong with the game selling well?

 

[TomShoe]

One more reason: Lineup otherwise isn't setting the world on fire quite yet.

Is the glass half-full, or half-empty?

 

[phanphare]

Oh that feels so good

Polygon selfings are the best

 

[Curufinwe]

300k

300k

That's what happens when you base sales predictions on your own personal dislike for a developer's games.

You end up looking ridiculous.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Busy making Super Knack Galaxy

LOL

 

[Vodh]

hypothetically if Uncharted 4 hit next winter, Uncharted Remaster at end of July would be absolutely perfect.
maybe even have UC4 multiplayer beta included.
I could see that doing incredibly well.

Oh, Uncharted definitely. If they manage to bundle 1-3 in a single package I could see that doing very well, between all the ex-360 players and people like myself who missed them on PS3, UC4 hype and ND being officially recognized as NG by the world.

 

[benny_a]

I still don't get why/how that many people are willing to pay more than 30$ for a one year old remaster though.

It's not a one year old remaster, it released on June 29th, 2014.

 

[mr stroke]

Is there anything this month that will dethrone TLOU?

Madden

 

[Ndless]

I'm unfamiliar with the usual timetable. When do we get all the hardware numbers?

 

[DryvBy]

Happy birthday! I hope 3D World is in that pile of games.

Yes

She said I can get a few more tomorrow. She just got a good deal with the others.

edit: Yes, we know Epic Mickey 2 isn't "epic". It was free.

 

[CapHarlock]

Not surprised at Minecraft's legs. I work retail (Walmart) and it's one of the games so many parents have been buying for their kids lately. I also wouldn't be surprise if the Vita has its lowest month yet. My store still has not gotten any Vita shipment. Had to tell a customer to either order online or check a local GameStop for one.

You can't help but wonder if they have stopped carring the Vita and just Sony has said nothing about it.

 

[Neuromancer]

MS PR

“Xbox One continues to sell at a strong and steady pace following the release of the $399 console in June, when month-to-month sales more than doubled,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “We continued to see this momentum in July.”

What

So they're saying month-to-month sales doubled again? I find that hard to believe.

 

[Chobel]

But they were right about the 10 million.

I think it was just a lucky guess

 

[icespide]

I'm unfamiliar with the usual timetable. When do we all the hardware numbers?

we may not get them
