lol Destiny cratered.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Wait, is NPD counting "mobile" sales for Trap Team?

 

[Derpyduck]

When did we get numbers from Amazon? Because if u mean chart placement, the difference coul be 100 units or 100,000 units.

When there are two console options ahead of the other, regardless of how many units apart they all are, it's still at least 2:1.

[Dsyndrome]

Smash the #2 game? Impressive.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Yep. Sold in the video game aisle at retail.

 

[DrkSage]

November NPD. November is going to be the month guys.

 

[Hip Hop]

No Forza Horizon 2 charting. Thought it would do better.

 

[NateDrake]

SO didn't chart?

If they don't count bundles, SO only had 5 days of tracking.

 

[Guymelef]

SO didn't chart?

Must be in a hard fight with Bayonetta 2.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

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

People blew it last month, so now we don't have any until February.

Thanks everyone!

 

[Infinite Justice]

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.

True.

also went with games that had shock value.

forgot about Evil Withing though so that's a shocker to me

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Wait a minute didn't Sunset Overdrive come out last month?

 

[Kysen]

No Forza Horizon 2 charting. Thought it would do better.

Shame too as the game is great.

 

[Majmun]

Boring month

 

[MaulerX]

Not surprised about PS4 winning

Spoiler

again

. Destiny on 360 and XB1 dominating? A little surprised at that tbh.

 

[ironcreed]

You mean that PS4 actually won again? Just wow. I don't know how anyone could have saw that one coming. Legit shocked.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Without digital sales counted on the new boxes the rankings are a bit wacky nowadays.

Weren't the PS4 Destiny bundles still selling at a decent rate? If so, those wouldn't be included in software chart.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Oh, interesting. I wonder if it [mobile at physical retail] could be a thing going forward; like if other franchises like Ubi's JD since it looks like they're experimenting with transition to mobile, whether they'll end up selling through retail.

Although it was the lowest selling platform at physical retail, so may not be worth it depending on the strength of the franchise.

 

[mejin]

Too much milking.

 

[Futurevoid]

Alien Isolation not charting either. Curious to see numbers on that, Bayonetta 2, Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizons 2.

 

[Y2Kev]

Octo...November NPD will be interesting!

 

[mejin]

Driveclub must have been a huge failure for Sony. Knack, Second Son, TLoU, Shadow Fall, all of them were million seller.

 

[EL CUCO]

Octo...November NPD will be interesting!

Considering Yusuf was already declaring victory over the first 2 weeks, I'd say so too.

 

[illmatic22]

Exclusives taking all the Ls this month (Excluding Smash)

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Considering Yusuf was already declaring victory over the first 2 weeks, I'd say so too.

Wasnt that the last week of october and the first week of november?

 

[Miles X]

Wasnt that the last week of october and the first week of november?

Since the price cut, so Nov 2nd, first day of Nov NPD.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Yep... mobile tech isn't quite there yet. Trap is a huge install and only certain tablets can run it. Give it a few more years.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Next month xbone will rise

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Next month xbone will rise

You mean this month. Sony will most likely take December.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Next month xbone will rise

I'm not certain about that. It's only the 13th and Sony has the GTA5 bundle to launch yet. That could see a Destiny sized spike easily.

 

[alterno69]

Damn, Forza Horizon 2 is IMO the best current gen exclusive available right now. My 8 years old son is addicted to it. I love it too.

Skylanders is a special case. They couldn't sell a mobile version only on the app store because it requires the portal.

This is what the reatil SKU looks like:

Too many people are satisfied with FH1.

Is the GTA boundle for the US as well?

 

[canadian crowe]

Alien Isolation didn't do too hot, did it?

In NA? It doesn't, as it seems.

 

[Gator86]

Octo...November NPD will be interesting!

This is probably the simple most popular statement in every NPD thread by a ridiculous margin. Every month is less interesting than the upcoming month ad infinitum.

 

[EdReedFan20]

In NA? It doesn't, as it seems.

I think one is coming. The Black Friday ads have an official looking box that includes GTA V and TLOU. I doubt they'd go through the trouble of making an official box for a bundle only to have to be sold for just one day. I don't think the price will stay the same though. Maybe it'd be $450-$500.

[PS4] 300K

So bad this month. Old-gen surprised me with its strength.

 

[Jomjom]

I wonder what Sony will do when they dont win the month next month. Maybe tweet or PSblog about winning the month globally?

PlayStation family...that should do it.

You mean Forza 5?

Console racing games outside of Mario Kart and sims are becoming pretty niche.

Its a parody, of Medhi saying how people are too satisfied with their 360's to move to the xbox one.

 

[NormalFish]

Smash makin' a splash. Great to see those numbers.

Don't worry, they'll take Nov/Dec as well, my hex will make it so
