Interesting, wonder if NBA declined from last year then

Obviously Freedom Wars will be #3, wonder what the surprises are though.

 

[Jomjom]

Dammit.

it was a nice dream for a moment there.


as for the last point i will say Bayonetta and DriveClub will be the 2

I sincerely hope not. Sony/Evo do not deserve to be rewarded for the botching of that game.

 

[Anticol]

You mean November? The charts coming in a few minutes are still for October.

Oh, sry.

 

[Lady Gaia]

Gta5 releases this month. Apparently there is going to be a bundle with the PS4 and last of us. You're counting those chickens way too early if you are me.

Bundles and Black Friday could change things up, to be sure, but it's getting late to announce anything game changing. I'm also not sure that GTAV + TLoU will drive holiday hardware decisions, though I expect both to have strong attach rates going forward for the installed base.

Honestly, I think Sony would rather ride out the holidays with a healthy installed base cushion and good margins rather than risk the ire of customers with a price drop before next year. Microsoft had little choice in the matter if they wanted to regain mindshare.

Yea they fucked up with that game but it would be funny.



Also these are just games i randomly pulled for the hell of it so nothing too deep about the reasons why

 

[Foshy]

Oh, sry.

No problem, you're not the first one to get that wrong NPD sales for a specific month usually get published around the second week of the next one.

 

[Cidd]

It's just not the same without Aquamarine and creamsugar.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Hopefully i am right on smash !

PR seems slow this month

Companies arent sure how to handle the shock of today's results.

Wait, what happen?????

 

[1st Course]

Nah, no actual HW numbers, but HW isn't really interesting this month. Title rankings and plats are, however. #2 and #3 titles will surprise people.

Sunset and The Evil Within?

 

[Mory Dunz]

...Um Sunset...and Mordor?

Mordor seemed to advertised a lot during sports.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I heard about what happened to Aqua but not creamsugar. What happened !?

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

We've already had MSs PR from the looks of it.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Based on what?

Dream powder, Kagari. Dream powder.

 

[FTF]

Perhaps they're not dead after all?

 

[NateDrake]

It is. Of course, my email keeps sounding off & I think it is an NPD release notification.

 

[ethomaz]

It is time

 

[SwiftDeath]

We've already had MSs PR from the looks of it.

That's true enough

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

Wait, what happen?????

Sources nuked. No numbers from CS or Aqua. Either someone else comes forward or we do it the old fashioned way:

Begging our platform holder overseers for a morsel of numbers.

 

[Taramoor]

Companies arent sure how to handle the shock of today's results.

Sometimes it's tough to come up with a positive spin.

Remember last year, when the WiiU numbers for November came out and Nintendo went with their "500% Increase over the previous month!" line?

 

[Chezzymann]

brace yourselves, its time, hold on to your britches, etc.

 

[Nirolak]

Nah, no actual HW numbers, but HW isn't really interesting this month. Title rankings and plats are, however. #2 and #3 titles will surprise people.

Time for NBA Live to take back the crown!

(Or for either Mordor or Disney Infinity/Skylanders to do quite well.)

 

[Infinite Justice]

Apparently lost his/her source

Software:

1. NBA 2K15 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
2. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (3DS)
3. The Evil Within (PS4, Xbox One, PS3, 360, PC)
4. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (360, PS3, PC)
5. Destiny (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)
6. Skylanders: Trap Team (360, Wii, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, 3DS, mobile)
7. FIFA 15 (PS4, 360, PS3, Xbox One, Wii, PS Vita, 3DS)
8. Madden NFL 15 (360, PS4, PS3, Xbox One)
9. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (PS4, XBox One, PC)
10. Minecraft (360, PS3, PS4)

That said, Bethesda still has to consider The Evil Within a success. It set a new record for the highest first-month sales for a release in the “survival horror” genre, according to the NPD.

Microsoft, meanwhile, probably isn’t sure what to think of Sunset Overdrive yet. The Xbox One exclusive open-world action game was on sale for four days in October, but it didn’t crack the top 10. It did come in at No. 9 if you count games by SKU (meaning only the PS4 version of NBA 2K15 and the Xbox One version of The Evil Within). And of course, none of these sales include the bundled version of Sunset Overdrive that comes with the white Xbox On

Hardware

We’ve asked Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo for a comment on their hardware numbers, but they have not shared anything at the time we posted this. It’s clear, however, that the new-gen systems from Microsoft and Sony continue to perform at a high level.

What?

 

[shinra-bansho]

NBA is always declining.

Eh, NBA2K rose in 2012, declined in 2013, but that's probably a generational cycle thing.

EDIT: speak of the devil.

EDIT2: Pre-Sequel looks like it did ok.

 

[Graphics Horse]

that rumour's still going around huh.

Shit man, I almost spat out my goddamn cheerios before I realized how percentages worked.

Honey Nuts delivered down my gullet safely.

Wait.

Apparently lost his/her source

that was apparently a joke

 

[BrokenEchelon]

How much longer?

 

[ferrasvansen]

Quiet month before the Crazy Nov and Dec mad numbers, no popcorn needed I reckon will save it toward next month's, might need some Doritos too just to be safe.

 

[Carl]

E: top ten already posted

 

[EL CUCO]

Destiny 360?!

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Nah, no actual HW numbers, but HW isn't really interesting this month. Title rankings and plats are, however. #2 and #3 titles will surprise people.

D4 shocked the gaming world and miraculously got enough retail sales (as a digital-only title) to take the #2 spot.

Scene end. Fan-Fic completed.

 

[John Bender]

Official: PS4 won!

 

[postcyberpunk]

Why are people still buying Destiny? And where the fuck are the numbers?

 

[CosmicQueso]

as for the last point i will say Bayonetta and DriveClub will be the 2 titles

Well, it is interesting that just because one platform has a bigger installed base it doesn't necessarily mean that games on that system outsell games on systems with smaller installed bases all the time.

 

[punkmaggit]

Ps4 again top selling console. Awesome.
