Considering how both games turned out? no, but if you said that like one year ago people would laugh at you. The creator of Killzone selling on one platform more than Mass Effect one of the biggest RPG franchises ever on three platforms sounds insane.

Because MK8 is on 1 platform. It's the best selling individual sku but the combined performance of Xbox and PlayStation puts Injustice above it

Nintendo has no control over who companies decide to sell components to. They cannot compete with companies like Apple.
More foundaries are coming in to play due to the demand but their impact won't be noticeable immediately.
Acting as if there was/is something they could do just shows you don't know what you are talking about.
Edit:
Sure they could have used more exotic components and increased the base price, older components and crippled the performance or do what they did.
Chart position doesn't mean much. Just because Dishonored 2 didn't make an appearance on the NPD back in November, doesn't mean it performed worse than Battleborn, despite the latter being the 4th best selling title last May.

Can someone please explain GTAV to me? Actual serious question.
Is there another example of another game having this kind of legs in console history? Like, even excluding the sales from last gen, it seems unprecedented for a game to essentially have never exited the top 10 since its release 2.5 years ago. Maybe I'm way off base on that though. I just don't quite get it.

Really nice to see Fire Emblem Echoes take the top of the 3DS/Vita charts. Granted there probably wasn't much else to really compete with it, but it's good regardless - hopefully it will sell strongly enough to encourage them to make more remakes of some of the older games.

Nice Farpoint is in there. One of the best experience I have with VR. I hope more full fledged AIM controller games coming out soon.
I don't really think so, especially when Nintendo showed the goods this E3, with a good looking Mario game four months away.

Damn Zelda holding strong and nice debut for Mario Kart as expected....now only if there were more Switch consoles available....
ftfy.
There's been some other extraordinarily leggy games in the past, like Wii Play and Minecraft. Some games just hit that sweet spot with consumers and become easy pick-ups right alongside their new hardware.

Anyone know the Zelda and MK8 Deluxe attach rates?

They have lost some sales that are not coming back because of this supply issue. This train will have fewer passengers than originally planned.

For what it is and the install base yes Farpoint did well for itself.
Keep in mind those aren't huge numbers by any means

I wonder if GTA sales are more due to GTA online then the core game at this point.
Wii Play would probably be the closest example, even though that was a huge cheat.
My presumption is that there's just a huge number of people playing GTA Online as a "lifestyle game". That's all they play, they love grinding up a progression chart, and when they buy a new console their first purchase is GTAV. I think it's pretty much been shown that GTAV and new console sales are very closely related.
Nah, they were at 99.6 bajillions at the end of 2016.
I think they're approaching a Trijillion now.
And if they look at what Bethesda did with Skyrim... The Sky's the limit.
GTA V on
IOS, Android, Ouya, PSVR, Ti 83, Oric Atmos and Blackberry, here we go!
You didn't understand my question. Unless MK8 sold better in May than April, it would be impossible to Injustice have better LTD. It should probably be Reggie giving wrong messages again tho.
The game did worse than Fates if that's what your asking.

Hopefully, I would definitely jump in this console gen with a Horizon Pro bundle.

I will say that the series has an international allure that doesn't have anything to do with the Online mode. It's a hell of a brand.
These lists are still revenue based, right? Being available with the gun controller would certainly boost it past the games it cleared, even if it sold less units overall. That said, any VR-only game charting is quite a feat.
Incredible game + first title people buy with new Xbox or Playstation hardware + GTA Online with constant updates + insane popularity with streamers and youtubers + extremely popular mods constantly releasing (though Take 2 seems intent on taking that one out of the equation)
And it's totally unprecedented, especially considering how well the game has been able to hold its value since launch.

I think people who buy new consoles every month buy GTA 5 as one of their first time games. thats my guess atleast.

Two bombs (Assuming Dishonored 2 did pretty bad too)... I have a feeling somethings going to happen to this Studio.

Compared to a cross-gen title with 5 or so SKUs representing it?

It's like winning the race going back and beating the shit out of second place to make sure they never cross the line. Not necessary guys.
The chart is by revenue, so I'd imagine the SKU of the game with the Aim Controller bumped up its chart position.

Very happy for HZD and this month should also help since it was on sale.
Nintendo need to get things in order the faster the better .

I would bank on there being a big shipment just in time for Splatoon 2, so if I were you, I would definitely watch retailers that week for their shipments.
Zelda's sales are the total across two distinct platforms too - NSW and WiiU.
HZD is on PS4 only.
they'll be around later when the price drops a year from now.

Even though it was supply constrained I still was expecting the Switch to be #1. Turns out I was wrong there!
