I'm pretty sure it was....until Destiny.

FFVII remake will probably be the next to break records.

 

[Aquamarine]

Halo 3's digital sales in 2007 would have been 0. It was several years before it became available to download.

Oh okay. I'll fix that.

 

[Dragon]

Lol, was digital downloading full games even possible then?

Didn't you say newer titles were at 25-30% digital? So whatever Destiny did at retail add another 25% or so. +1 since I was one of those preloaded fools filling the OT with cries of 12:00amPsT waiting

Without actual numbers, no reason to speculate really. I'm one of the people too. Hopefully NPD tracks digitally in the future.

 

[Cess007]

what's ltd?

Life to date.

you expected it to sell more?

Pretty sure Verendus was being sarcastic

 

[logikk]

Is this a joke?

Sorry, I don't know anymore....

MS should do well starting the end of October -> November. Sunset Overdrive Bundle, AC: Unity Bundle, MCC and CoD Bundle.

Also, there aren't that many games coming out in Oct (besides that ones that already have), so that should be quite interesting.

 

[ninjablade]

No.

75K?

 

[UnObtainium17]

Aint got time to backtrack 60 pages of this thread.. Where did it said that Destiny sold more on xbon ethan on PS4?

 

[Aces&Eights]

She wouldn't have digital since NPD still doesnt track digital efficiently.

Ahh, you are correct. This thread has taken some of my brain away. Really want bundle numbers though!

 

[The Shogun]

What's with the ~ sign?

Didn't you know Aqua? Your numbers are "round about estimates"

 

[outunderthestars]

Without actual numbers, no reason to speculate really. I'm one of the people too. Hopefully NPD tracks digitally in the future.

This is why I am hoping for a press release from Activision at some point.

 

[Aquamarine]

75K?

No!

Aint got time to backtrack 60 pages of this thread.. Where did it said that Destiny sold more on xbon ethan on PS4?

When you *don't include hardware bundles*, Destiny sold more on Xbox One.

When you *include hardware bundles*, Destiny sold more on PS4.


NOT INCLUDING BUNDLES is the key.

 

[Welfare]

No.

Guess I have a Wii U number wrong somewhere.

 

[demolitio]

Can't wait to go through the same predictions next month.

 

[Hoje0308]

You could just read the OP.

Edit: Aqua is a much better person than me.

 

[Bgamer90]

I think your number ends at June.

Agreed. I have 200k+ more than that.

Possible that I missed a month or so. Someone else can chime in.

 

[Xenus]

Pretty sure Verendus was being sarcastic

I think he's been 90% sarcastic for the last few months at least now

 

[The Shogun]

Aint got time to backtrack 60 pages of this thread.. Where did it said that Destiny sold more on xbon ethan on PS4?

NPD did.

Stand alone retail copies.

PS4 Destiny outsold Xbox One in total bundles included.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

FFVII remake will probably be the next to break records.

Hypothetically, let's say this fabled remake is real, right? Isn't it's sales counting all re-releases only just over 10million? I know FFVII is known by all gamers, but I don't know if they'd all show up to buy a remake, just because the overzealous fans won't stop dreaming of it.

 

[ilikecandy]

No!

Before September, was the number 2685?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Aint got time to backtrack 60 pages of this thread.. Where did it said that Destiny sold more on xbon ethan on PS4?

First Post. Then the next 60 pages explain that if you fully read the first post, the ordinal ranking of sales (XB1, PS4, 360, PS3) does not include bundled sales of which there was at least 269k

TL;DR Please read the OP carefully thanks

 

[logikk]

Aint got time to backtrack 60 pages of this thread.. Where did it said that Destiny sold more on xbon ethan on PS4?

It's in the list of consoles for the game. The order listed is the order on how well they sold. This doesn't include games that were in bundles though (so the PS4 had many more copies of Destiny sold than is in the NPD numbers).

 

[A Human Becoming]

Guess I have a Wii U number wrong somewhere.

If it did almost 50% better, that would land it around 87k. Maybe our August number is wrong?

 

[Aces&Eights]

No!

Indeed. I seem to have forgotten the bundle number. What was it again?

 

[vicissitudes]

First Septembers:

PS4 - 538k
Wii - 501k
PS2 - 344k
XBone - 284k
X360 - 259k
Xbox - 173k
Gamecube - 167k
PS3 - 119k
Wii U - 95k

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

After 11 NPD months:

Wii: 4.53m
PS4: 4.49m
PS2: 3.75m
XBO: 3.49m

Wii October 2007: 519k / 5.05m first year.

Maybe Sony can give away some free PS4 this month to match that.



Wii U: 2.78 million

I find it interesting the GameCube had a stronger launch then the Xbox 360. It goes to show how much the year head start, lower price and ps3 blunders helped it out in year 2

 

[David___]

Odd, it always seemed Watch_Dogs had the bigger marketing.

I recall Ubi touting it as the biggest new IP launch of all time :3

Either way, Destiny outselling it is wonderful.

Well it did come out 4 months before Destiny, in which case they were correct at the time.

?

How do you define that--because there are already a bunch of ID@Xbox games and it's not like every indie does the same as everybody else.

I just don't see it being as fruitful as what Sony is doing.

MS has more hoops to go through and the bigger the gap gets between the two, the harder it is to justify going through said hoops unless you can wait to release on both platforms simultaneously, which isn't the reality for most indies if I had to guess.

 

[Guymelef]

Aqua, FH 2 split? If you can't say numbers.

 

[stryke]

The Destiny PS4 bundle did really fucking well for a non-holiday bundle launch.

Activision + Sony really hit it out of the park this time.

Can you give the split numbers between bundled and non bundled PS4's sold?

 

[Bsigg12]

So is thinking 60-70% of PS4 sales were the Destiny bundle too high?

 

[Hoje0308]

Probably a defense mechanism developed while dealing with NPD threads.

er....Wii U is 95k

but yes

 

[freefornow]

.

It will keep them in the game, but I feel that PS4 will roll on and continue to surpass (so much momentum with the PS4).
I'm not sure MS will win another NPD this gen (yeah, big call and almost "Pachteresque")

 

[Piggus]

That's a pretty damn good XBox One number, no?

I mean, it continues the trend of looking bad in comparison to PS4, but I think the One is doing pretty well, all things concerned. Microsoft probably had a better first year than Sony did with the PS3, ya?

In the US, sure. The Bone is getting shithoused everywhere else though. If the US were the only territory MS cared about then I'm sure they'd be perfectly satisfied despite still being behind. Unfortunately that's not the case.

All comes down to marketing. I can imagine massive front loaded sales, but then a drastic fall off from there.

 

[ninjablade]

No!

more or less? Please

 

[ascii42]

I find it interesting the GameCube had a stronger launch then the Xbox 360. It goes to show how much the year head start, lower price and ps3 blunders helped it out in year 2

360 was very supply constrained for its first few months on the market. Hard to really make a comparison.

 

[Verendus]

I'm pretty sure it was....until Destiny.

Hold on, hold on. I have my song now.

You are my Destiny
You are my shining star
Shining every night
And shining, oh, so, bright
You are my everything, my Destiny

It was just yesterday when I felt so weak
Never winning, and troubled in my sleep
A long road it was, beginning with Kutaragi
Now I've overcome it aaaaallll, thanks to the end of the PS3
I began anew, with courage once forgotten
I staggered onward, no longer was I rotten
It was my time now, to bask in the sun
Because I have you now, the fate that makes me ruuuuuuuun!

You are my Destinyyyyyy
You are my shining staaaaaaaaar
Shining every niiiiiiiiight
And shining, oh, so, briiiiiiight
You are my everything, my Destinyyyyyyyyyy

Wish me luck. Gonna try to sell this shit to Activision. Get Beyonce in that recording booth.

 

[vicissitudes]

God the Wii U has been such a misfire.

Sorry I made a typo. It was actually 30.5k lol.

 

[Loudninja]

Stop begging people, she gives what she can.

Lana Del Ray is GOAT.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

360 was very supply constrained for its first few months on the market. Hard to really make a comparison.

But it wasn't supply constrained in months 10 or 11 and it still did worse then the GameCube adjusted month chart.

 

[alterno69]

God the Wii U has been such a misfire.

Since the very first day, when you had people on Gaf asking if it was an add on or a new system you have a BIG problem.

 

[Raziel]

PS4 numbers are really underwhelming for a market leader.

 

[Welfare]

er....Wii U is 95k

but yes

Sorry I made a typo. It was actually 30.5k lol.

Which is it?!

 

[Poimandres]

er....Wii U is 95k

but yes

Are you forgetting this is the Wii U's second September?

Edit: Oops, looks like those were August numbers. Does that mean the Wii U is down YOY this month? Yeesh.

 

[jayu26]

It's been hell of a Thursday. Okay time for me to catch up, unless someone wants to summaries or point to the funny and pertinent numbers stuff.

 

[The Shogun]

That is pretty brave honestly. Who knows Gears 4 might hit in a month PS4 doesn't have any major releases or something like that. Month to month sales for predictions years from now is pretty risky territory when it comes to predictions.

 

[Guymelef]

PS4 numbers are really underwhelming for a market leader.

Of course.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

PS4 numbers are really underwhelming for a market leader.

What am I reading.....?

Edit: This is the second highest September for a single console of all time, correct?
