I don't know if you had an Xbox at launch but chat was most definitely broken. I had to use skype for 3 months instead.
NPD Sales Results for November 2014 [Up3: NPD Data Error, AC:U #5]

Yup. GTA is well on its way to being a franchise that spans decades the way Mario, Zelda, and Metal Gear have. The only thing that could derail it at this point is a larger company absorbing Take 2, but it will have at least hit year 20 before they could possibly milk it to death. Take 2 has done very well by Rockstar North by giving them the time they need to make each game.

Sorry I'm using Dark theme and the text just sticks out like a collection of little bright lights digging into my eyes with flare guns and torches.
Love ya Mpl90 and Aqua.

Does that mean W101 has hit near 100k or am I reading this wrong?
So The wonderful haven't reached 101K yet?
Are you counting bayonetta sales in the digital numbers too? (I think it should be a very small
Number) And one last question, is there a huge difference between W101 and Bayonetta digital sales or are they almost tied too?
Thanks as always!

Even so, you're still talking Wii caliber November. At a higher price.
MS did good. They might have been bleeding like crazy to do it, but you have to be a fanboy of epic proportions not to be impressed. Highest first November for any platform.
Also set a new record on the Oct-Nov monthly multiplier too didn't they?

creamsugar, how many units did Disney Infinity sell?
botty
Disney Infinity is the greatest, most successful game ever made. I LOVE DISNEY INFINITY.
(Yesterday, 09:55 PM)
Sorry Disney Infinity lover....Disney Infinity 2.0 is -30% launch-to-date compared to the original.

Fully agree, but some don't see it that way.
I don't get it why, it's not like these games inhibit the ability to enjoy other games.

WTF @ Microsoft not shouting from the rooftops that they sold more XBones than PS4s + Wii Us combined.
Where is J Allard or Don Mattrick when you need them. WTF is Major Nelson doing?
It was probably their only opportunity to do so.

Any possibility of LTD for Forza Horizon & Driveclub?
I'm expecting low #'s because the genre is kind of dead in the U.S.

quick, check to make sure Vita didn't dive so hard in October that the multiplier ended up being higher despite trash November numbers
not sure you know this or not, but botty got that tag because of his hate for Disney Infinity, so that's good news for him
I found the PR boring, but I understand, they don't want to make too much noise because they will not always win and PS4 is in better shape this gen.

You enjoy destroying what others love enough to make me feel uncomfortable and I currently have a 72 year old mans hand on my thigh so I know uncomfortable.
Haha!quick, check to make sure Vita didn't dive so hard in October that the multiplier ended up being higher despite trash November numbers
That's a good point...

I wanna say 244k
Still kinda in shock the gap was this big. Congrats to MS, seems like they found their price point. We've only been saying it on GAF for a year.
Yes, several publishers have stopped reporting sales figures for this same reason.
When they don't reveal sales figures, suddenly it becomes suspicious, but if they never do, then it's just a cloud of mystery.

They could be waiting for a "Christmas Season" sales figure before bragging. Then they wouldn't feel obligated to go month-to-month with actual data.

More than 10% up, my guess is 247k

your thing says "through October", then your 3DS figure includes November, while the other two don't
I almost did a double take thinking the DS did 4.6m in a single December you know

Oh. Damn. You are right lol. Going to fix it.
So, 3DS lost every month for PSP except november.
Handhelds market is sad these days.
Don't know how shareholders are okay with this.

Larger than it has ever been... as long as you're not Sony or Nintendo.
You generally don't acknowledge the competition when you do press releases like this. You're always the best, all the time.

No, 10th place sold 660k. That's to much for Destiny third month.

They lost by a good margin...no sense to put out a PR tweet this time around.

Probably still doing well with more digital sales. I've spent a boatload on PS4 and Xbox One games during the last year. But none of it is counted since they are all digital.

Yeah. In US 3DS will have hard time to reach PSPs ltd numbers which are of course far cry from DSs ltd numbers. Going to be interesting to see how Nintendo handles next handheld gen.
It's so dead that there really isn't a point.

This hurts man, really hurts.
ouch 100K in two months... so is this the end for Bayonetta?
Nintendo even tried to push it with ads iirc, but 100K in two month is just way too low. it seems like not many of the Bayo 1 owners really want the sequel and I don't see Nintendo giving it a sequel after this and I don't see SEGA doing that as well (they already didn't want a Bayo2 in first place) and someone else getting Bayo 3 for its console will not make sense since people will missed Bayo 2.

I hardly call $300 free. I'm sure Microsoft took a loss on the consoles for November ,and will for December, but it was probably within the realm of what it might cost to do a massive marketing campaign.
They needed to change the mindshare, folks need to se al of their 360 friends now playing on the One. They needed PS4 users to give the One a shot.
Once they get done with the holidays, they need to see if their Input One strategy works. I can tell you it is a huge part of why no one in my family buys and plays Wii U games. Having One box to bounce from TV to Netflix to Games to Apps to Socialize makes keeping within the ecosystem a pretty nice benefit.
I don't know if it will continue to work for everyone, but this is the plan, as far as I can tell.
But yeah, you won't see a ton of Microsoft crowing because it will lead to exactly the discussion you are trying to have. The problem is, I don't get a share of any profits from a console manufacturer, So I would prefer they error on the side of adding to the install base, which provides a player base which provides publishers the confidence to fun developers to create for my console of choice.
As far as I'm concerned, the XB1 has been teetering on going full Dreamcast if the momentum didn't change. I think it was a pretty wise move to for Microsoft to spend capital on changing that momentum.

Are there any PC retail numbers? It'd be interesting to see how Warlords of Draenor did in terms of physical copies.

I think it's more that Bayo 1 fans don't want to buy a Wii U for a sequel.
