Good job to The Witcher 3 Easily my favourite release in May.

 

[BakkaGames]

Holy shit Splatoon

 

[The Last Wizard]

June lol, good for Splatoon.

Ps4 came right back.

 

[Nightbird]

Squids did inkredible

 

[thestopsign]

Solid placement for three days of Splatoon!

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Good job Splatoon! Also, surprised PS took #1.

 

[vinnygambini]

Splatoon with 3 days of sale, number 5!

Slay

 

[Shizuka]

Wow for Splatoon, released at the of the month and still charting halfway through the charts.

 

[Xbro]

June?

 

[danthefan]

They must get so bored of releasing these press statements every month.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Never thought I'd see the day that a witcher game would be number one

What a lovely day

 

[aibaby]

*Hyping Intensifies*

 

[Lakitu]

The Witcher!

So happy for CDPR, great job guys and gals

 

[Carl]

June went by quick

 

[Dynedom]

Wish we could know that Witcher 3 split.

 

[DR2K]

Mortal Kombat not letting go.

 

[Zalman]

I honestly never expected Splatoon to make it up there. It only had like a couple of days.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I am still scratching my head about what put Xbox One over the top that one month.

 

[NotLiquid]

That'll do, Squid.

That'll do.

 

[Lynn616]

Minecraft never stops.

 

[VanWinkle]

Really surprised Splatoon did pretty decently.

And PS4 right back at top. Looks like PS4 SKU also beat the XB1 SKU on every single multiplat game on there. Impressive. (edit: oh, except Minecraft)

 

[Kevinroc]

We can now confirm that Splatoon really is the newest major Nintendo IP. I, for one, welcome our new Squid overlords.

 

[Javin98]

I'm not surprised the PS4 won, honestly. Now I can't wait to get the numbers. Either way, I expect the gap between the PS4 and XB1 to be around 20K or less.

 

[Aaronrules380]

So has time travel been discovered then?

 

[Tokieda]

Huh, Splatoon in the top 5. Who would've thought.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Good for The Witcher 3

 

[Katana_Strikes]

PS4 won all multiplats except Minecraft.

 

[John Bender]

And it continues:

Yay at #Splatoon

 

[BeforeU]

 

[DjRalford]

With splatoon at 5th, will be intresting to see if it sold consoles.

 

[Welfare]

XB1 139k

Up 81% YOY May 2014 was 77k

 

[Nafai1123]

Really happy for CDPR. They deserve it!

 

[RedAssedApe]

yay witcher

 

[Disaster Nebraska]

Great job, Splatoon!

PS4 back on top.

Witcher 3 selling more on PS4, despite the marketing deal with Microsoft? Sounds like things are back to normal.

 

[mejin]

Great month for ps4.

 

[Grimgrillz]

Need to see those Witcher 3 numbers. I'm wondering if PS4 takes 63% like they did in the UK first week.

 

[dmr87]

There it is.

 

[panda-zebra]

Xbox One sales in the U.S. were up 81 percent over May 2014

lol

 

[Exterminieren]

Nintendo definitely will be happy with that worldwide launch for Splatoon. We'll see how the legs go.

 

[Einbroch]

Can't tell if I should eat crow or not. Rank means little in what appears to be a pretty sad month.

 

[SRTtoZ]

GTA last place on PC? <---------nevermind, digital.

 

[OCD Guy]

I don't usually keep up to date with sales charts, but does Fifa and Call of Duty ever not appear in the charts?

Or do they sell constantly and then get replaced by the new version?

 

[El Pescado]

I'm happy for Splatoon. I wonder where it would have charted of the SKUs weren't combined.

 

[Rymuth]

Splatoon is life
Splatoon is love

 

[Crayolan]

June? Nirolak pls.

Good for Splatoon though, #5 for 2 days is not bad.

 

[massoluk]

God damn, Splatoon. Legendary performance there.

 

[KingSnake]

Yeah, so much for Splatoon not being able to become a popular new IP.
