“Software spending in November 2016 declined by 19 percent compared to this time last year,” said Naji. “The decline can be fully attributed to the top 3 selling games which, combined, sold 43 percent less than the top 3 games from last November. Combined spending across all other titles grew 12 percent in November compared with a year ago.”

Finally, Titanfall 2 had a strong second month. It got strong reviews when it debuted late in October, and it went on to finish No. 5 on the November top 10. That’s after landing at No. 9 on the October chart. This suggests that this shooter may have legs thanks to its excellent word-of-mouth and publisher Electronic Arts stepping in to quickly discount it down to as little as $30.

Edit 2: Pokemon sold more combined than COD: IW

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare also launched in November, and it would top the list if you don’t combine Pokémon Sun and Moon into one game.

Put me in pokeball if old

 

[MisterHero]

Aww I was #TeamMoon

I bought both though

 

[Jonboy]

Man...sucks for Dishonored. Such a great game.

 

[dragonzdogma]

FFXV anywhere?

 

[Schlorgan]

Titanfall 2 back from the brink!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'll never understand why Nintendo and NPD considers each Pokemon SKU a separate title, but combined Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U into a single product.

Edit - WHAT just noticed Titanfall 2 is #5. That's awesome.

 

[witness]

Fucking awesome for Respawn!

 

[Arttemis]

Titanfall 2 ftw!

Yeah, I'm glad it's on the list! Hands down, it's the superior game from EA released last month.

 

[shadowfall]

Man...sucks for Dishonored. Such a great game.

I finished it a while ago as Emily. Started playing as Corvo and stopped. While it was good, I felt it lacked what was missing in First game.

 

[Kusagari]

Looks like the fire sale on TF2 helped push some copies.

 

[PROh1bited]

I thought everyone said Titanfall 2 tanked.

And that's without digital sales counted.

 

[Mcdohl]

FFXV anywhere?

Here is the top 10 for the four-week period running from October 30 through November 26.

So no.

Wait for December.

 

[Obliterator]

Um Titanfall 2 rebounding like that is pretty shocking

Congrats to the team

 

[Ashtar]

FFXV anywhere?

didn't it release on the 29th?
I forgot all about Dishonored smh even though I bout it and didn't play it

 

[Trago]

Wew! Pokemon!

 

[Kyrios]

Looks like the sales for Titanfall 2 are really helping it, great to see!

FFXV anywhere?

November NPD ended on the 26th.

FFXV sales will be reflected in December NPD.

 

[Ray Down]

FFXV anywhere?

NPD cutoff date for November was before it released.

 

[adamsapple]

Skyrim has amazing legs. Well deserved in my opinion.

 

[RocknRola]

TF2 definitely deserves those sale! Fantastic game!

 

[Inuhanyou]

FFXV anywhere?

It might as well not even exist, it was released at the very end of the month

 

[Dubz]

I'm ready for TF3!

 

[The Last One]

Nice for Pokémon.

 

[valkillmore]

I would buy & play theshit out of Titanfall 2 if I only had the time.

Starting to think I may have to give up on gaming and that's both depressing but in a way liberating.

 

[TimeEffect]

The Last Guardian

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I thought everyone said Titanfall 2 tanked.

And that's without digital sales counted.

It did. Which is why it was HEAVILY discounted within a month of release.

 

[Kusagari]

The Last Guardian

You realize it came out last week right?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The Last Guardian

...launched in December.

 

[Schlorgan]

It did. Which is why it was HEAVILY discounted within a month of release.

I'm not gonna disagree that Titanfall 2's initial sales were low but BF1 got the same heavy discount.

 

[Ray Down]

The Last Guardian

Last Guardian released in December....

 

[WaffleTaco]

Oh wow. Watch_Dogs 2 doing worse than TitanFall 2 is pretty bad.

 

[Kusagari]

I'm not disagreeing that Titanfall 2's initial sales were low but BF1 got the same heavy discount within the month.

And BF1 is #2 on the chart,

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a huge drop off from 1-4 to TF2.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

I'll never understand why Nintendo and NPD considers each Pokemon SKU a separate title, but combined Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U into a single product.

Edit - WHAT just noticed Titanfall 2 is #5. That's awesome.

Because they are seperate titles lol. Smash Bros. is the same game for different platforms. Same reasoning why COD for different platforms are grouped together.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Nice to see Titanfall 2 back up there, I'm sure the good word of mouth helped it. While the campaign was great but not as good as Doom's for me, and the multiplayer was great but not as addictive as Overwatch, as a combined package I would put Titanfall 2 at the top of the shooter list this year. They deserve the sales.

 

[Quentin]

The Last Guardian

I thought Gaf was the place for informed gamers?

 

[tilomite!]

Happy to see Titanfall 2 have some legs.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Watch Dogs 2

 

[Bebpo]

Welp, Ubisoft finally makes a great open world game again (best since AC:B) that's positive and socially progressive and it completely bombs. This why we can't have nice things and all that.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Because they are seperate titles lol. Smash Bros. is the same game for different platforms. Same reasoning why COD for different platforms are grouped together.

Pokemon titles from the same gen are far more similar than Smash 3DS and Wii U. To argue otherwise is honestly silly.

But... Smash is no less different than Pokemon variants. There's a whole different slew of maps between the 3DS and Wii U versions, as well as the different art style.

And entirely different modes.

 

[TimeEffect]

Last Guardian released in December....

Oh yeahhh


In that case, Titanfall 2

 

[SargerusBR]

I'm surprised that

a) CoD surpassed BF1.
b) Titanfall 2 managed to chart

 

[Anno]

I'm glad TF2 bounced back, but those numbers seem kinda bad across the board. I'm also hoping that Bethesda rethinks their marketing, because Dishonored deserved far more than what it got. People should buy that game.

 

[The Emperor]

The Last Guardian

FFXV anywhere?

Some of y'all are sooo funny!!

Well done to pokemon!

 

[Arttemis]

[Harmondale]

Quite Amazing (dissapointing in GAF Eyes) that COD comes out on top year after year. The success never seem to stop. How far ahead of BF is it really?

(guess the Youtube trailer drama dident mean anything at all. Good to remember for future speculation)

 

[Kusagari]

Welp, Ubisoft finally makes a great open world game again (best since AC:B) that's positive and socially progressive and it completely bombs. This why we can't have nice things and all that.

WD2 bombed because WD1 was universally hated.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

moment of silence for gta v slipping off the top 10

 

[Cess007]

FFXV anywhere?

The Last Guardian

Here is the top 10 for the four-week period running from October 30 through November 26.

Hard to chart when you release after the cut date.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Pokemon titles from the same gen are far more similar than Smash 3DS and Wii U.

You are right but they've always done it this way so expect it to continue.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare also launched in November, and it would top the list if you don’t combine Pokémon Sun and Moon into one game.

CoD got beat by Pokemon?

Can't tell if CoD did poorly or Pokemon did well =/

 

[Coffee Dog]

Because they are seperate titles lol. Smash Bros. is the same game for different platforms. Same reasoning why COD for different platforms are grouped together.

lol, the only difference between pokemons is some monsters. Smash Bros had entirely different game modes, stages, trophies, etc
