Hasn't Minecraft been unusually low in the charts lately? I was expecting bumps in the past couple of months because of the switch version and the Better Together update, but it seems to have not moved the needle on it. Has Minecraft finally slowed down?

The fact a $20 game is hanging there in revenue with $60 games is actually impressive..

 

[jmizzal]

3 Switch games in the top 10 nice

 

[EVO]

I wouldn't be surprised if GTA V stays in the top 10 until VI is out.

 

[Noctix]

**hugs his KZ2 copy**

You will always be the best FPS I played online

Amen to that

 

[Poimandres]

Guerrilla went from making games that did not review greatly on a consistent level (Killzone 2 is the best shooter I've ever played though) and they also did not sell a huge amount. They completely knocked it out the park with Horizon, it's not an apples to apples comparison but having just finished the piece of shit on a disc that is FF15, GG did so well for their first RPG effort. For one, it didn't feel stitched together.

Horizon is such a good base for GG to build on. A horde mode, really flushed out in Horizon 2 will be so fucking fun!

Play more shooters...

Seriously though, Killzone sold decently enough. Last figures I could find were from Jan 2014 when Shadow Fall had sold 2.1 million: https://www.engadget.com/2014/01/29/killzone-shadow-fall-global-sales-top-2-1-million/

That's a launch title which helps, but still pretty decent numbers. I could see it going either way with continuing the series in some capacity.

It was the best possible package for Wipeout to go out with. Amazing package and value. But people still didn't want it. RIP.

Futuristic racers really don't have a lot of appeal for some reason. I wonder if it is because there's no real world equivalent, since it's not like Ferrari is working on an anti-grav F488 for people to ogle.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Nintendo making tons of money off software.

They have that magiC.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

If the game has a dead community on PS4, chances are the community on the Xbox side is in an even worse shape, given the much smaller installed base.

Better than having no community.

So you're basically proving their point...

Lol

GAF is a bubble, the others will decide how important it is through their money.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Good showing for ARMS, but what surged GTAV up to 3rd place god damn.

 

[Reg]

Seems like good numbers all around. Except for xbox.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

So since ARMS had a 260k debut will Splatoon 2 hit 400k+??

 

[SinCityAssassin]

So since ARMS had a 260k debut will Splatoon 2 hit 400k+??

Crajillion.

 

[IKizzLE]

Safe to say Horizon is a runaway success? It has charted everytime in the top 10 of NPD since it launched in February!

Fair to say GG won't be making a Killzone game in the foreseeable future.

 

[Wagram]

Fair to say GG won't be making a Killzone game in the foreseeable future.

Cambridge did a good job with Mercenary. Shame they're dead.

 

[Welfare]

So since ARMS had a 260k debut will Splatoon 2 hit 400k+??

I'm predicting a +600K debut.

 

[cordy]

WE BACK!!!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It's not about money. Anyone who thought people were gonna stop buying PS4s cuz of this is a fool. Sony can announce their PSN sub is gonna be $80 a year and that won't stop them.

 

[Santiako]

But do you want Viva Piñata: Bolts & Nuts? That's the question

Holy shit that would be amazing.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Horizon Zero Dawn still doing well.

Makes me happy.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Wait so let me understand

Arms physical sales are 256k - digital and thats what was counted for the ranking ?

 

[Mory Dunz]

Sounds like that, yes.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

.

Damn that would be impressive what makes y'all think that??
I mean I wouldn't be surprised since it seems like it's gonna sell a lot and has a couple weeks as well.

 

[nelchaar]

Holy shit at Crash. 2 days selling in June, top 4 by revenue at $40 compared to all the other games at $60. Incredible.

 

[Gunslinger]

Tekken no.1? In USA? Are we back in the late 90s and early 2000s? Sick!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Tekken no.1? In USA? Are we back in the late 90s and early 2000s? Sick!

It had to pick up the void SFV left behind.

 

[Cess007]

Tekken no.1? In USA? Are we back in the late 90s and early 2000s? Sick!

Fighters are back. Mascot platforms seems to be back. RPGs are kinda back too. What is missing? Racers?

 

[NastyBook]

Tekken? What the fuck?

God Fist combo, here's come the blessing!

Nice legs on Horizon. Aloy's killing it.

 

[Gunslinger]

If this trend continues then another dark ages for Capcom fg incoming?

 

[Loudninja]

Alot of racers coming in the next few months.

Have to see how they do.

 

[PerfectFlaw]

The fact a $20 game is hanging there in revenue with $60 games is actually impressive..

And the fact that it's so cheap does wonders for it's numbers. $20 for one of the hottest games ever made is a pretty low barrier of entry.

I was interested in examining the fact that one of the consistently best selling games of all time seems to finally be slowing down (if that analysis is even correct and this isn't some temporary lull) and what that means overall, not the fact that it's price is still $20.

 

[Welfare]

Damn that would be impressive what makes y'all think that??
I mean I wouldn't be surprised since it seems like it's gonna sell a lot and has a couple weeks as well.

I think a third of the user base will buy the game. Seems doable.

 

[InsaneTiger]

It always comes down to money. Anyway, crazy month for all three companies.

 

[phant0m]

How long until GTA V has sold more copies than there are people able to play GTA V (eg not counting children < 8, etc)?

 

[ghostwritingduck]

Crazy to see 2/10 Wii U ports on there. Realistically only one original Switch game. Not good.


&#128521;

Top PS4 game was a PS1 port. Not good. &#128540;

 

[Playsage]

Tekken at the top? Wow! That's amazing!

 

[Ashtar]

@Mat
The best selling list for 2017 and last 12 months is by revenue? does it include DLC?


I think Injustice 2 may outsell Horizon, there are no big releases in July besides splatoon 2


I'm going to predict the top 10 for next month

1. Splatoon 2 sells upwards of 400K
2. Injustice 2 Aggressive DLC moves this ahead of Tekken 7
3. Tekken 7
4. Crash bandicoot since it's only 40 bucks it will likely chart lower than Tekken
5. GTA V
6. TLOZ
7. MK8
8. Ghost Recon
9. Arms
10. Overwatch

 

[LiquidSolid]

I was on the camp expecting 100k~120k tops. You can't compare it with other years because it's not the same situation - I have no idea why you expected xbox one sales to be great when they just announced a brand new console coming up but yes, i think it's good so far if people are holding back to buy a One X later. If they don't, then it won't be good, no. But sure, call it a spin and turn this into a console war if you want to.

Where did I say I expected Xbox One sales to be great? I expected them to be down YoY because that's generally been the case for the last few months but I didn't expect a YoY drop as large as 28%. That's terrible and while you may have had really low expectations, it's still baffling to consider those numbers anything but bad. The fact it came the same month the PS4 had a 63% YoY bump only makes it look that much worse.

I also think it's misguided to think any significant number of people are holding off on a Xbox purchase now so they can get a $500 One X later in the year. The target market for that device aren't buying a Xbox One in June 2017, they already have one.

 

[get2sammyb]

GAF is a bubble, the others will decide how important it is through their money.

I don't even understand the logic here. "PS4 has no cross-play so I'm going to... Get an Xbox One where I still can't cross-play with PS4 because Sony won't allow it."

Even if the topic had resonated outside of NeoGAF (it didn't) I'm not really sure what impact people expected it to have.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

This is pretty crazy for its 4th year.

Aren't the 3rd/4th years for consoles usually their best? Stock issues (if any) have been sorted out at that point and price drops have made the system easier to purchase for a lot of people, but the system's not yet in the shadow of its successor. Right about now in the PS4's life seems like it would be primetime for most consoles.

That said, I've never bothered to see if data actually backs this up.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Ok, that was funny.

 

[LordOcidax]

2017 Best Sellers:
1.Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands
2.The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*

Damnnnn &#128562;&#128562;&#128562; Holiday season is going to be insane for the Switch.

 

[Floody]

Should Microsoft revive their dormant franchises like Perfect Dark, Banjo etc. Isn't it the perfect time?

I think a Banjo collection like the Crash one would do well. Especially if MS were really crazy and put it on the Switch too. Outside of that I think another fresh new I.P to go with Sea of Thieves (something that MS don't really offer) would be their best route to take, leave shooters to Halo, Gears and 3rd party.

@Mat

Full game sales only. No DLC included.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Those Nintendo game sales include digital right?

 

[MrCookiepants]

If Tekken sold >250k then that's the best debut for the series in the last 15 years. Makes me happy.

 

[wmlk]

WE BACK!!!

Never thought I'd see the cover art for KING in this context.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Those Nintendo game sales include digital right?

On charting? No. Digital sales were provided separately in Nintendo Press releases and are not the number they charted at in the NPD.
