You broke it.
Not too good for a slow month isn't it? I mean, #9 suggest it being surpassed in sales by games released during the fall, right?
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!
LOL is it safe to say PS4 > 3DS> X1

I don't think the sales are terrible for US alone and for it to be a platform exclusive. All the games above it despite Majoras Mask are multiplatform. The game below it sold 290,000 copied including digital, so not sure where that puts the Order except that it is somewhere above that.
Holy shit! 395K? That's fucking amazing! I doubt that the PS4 sold better last month, then, unless the PS4 did even more incredible sales.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!
Someone is going to say yes because Amazon in fact bundled it for a week, but the way Amazon creates their own bundles, the games get counted as individual sales. So no, no bundles.
Honest question: how did you know that?

It's a good day when a gameplay-first game like Monster Hunter sells 290K.
Sony didn't count the 3DS.

Next gen console exclusives are always going to show unfavourably on these charts.
However with no other major releases outside of Evolve I can't imagine it sold a lot.
It's difficult to say whether it's a complete flop.
Edit: actually nevermind if zelda sold 515k copies digitally and physically and was #1 that means the order probably only sold like 150k

everyone is buying it digitally on x1 since you can't on ps4.
So The Order did more than 290K? Not bad, but surely less of what RAD and Sony were expecting.
Give me a break.
In addition - slayed by gaming journalist! In the end 9th place is NOT THAT BAD!
Anyway, if PS4 is above 400k, then dayum!
290k.

That's what I got from that and does the Order sales count digital?
The point of that year old thread is?

Mhm. Likely either 2nd or 3rd single sku.
A few were also release during the fall, so shouldn't be huge numbers, right?
Really sad if this means no sequel to the order.
You can, just not in the US store yet.
they don't count handhelds.
Read it again.
No. NPD never counts digital sales or bundles.

The 3DS numbers are combined...
Probably more, maybe? MH4 includes digital, where NPD is only physical. I'm sure more people buy digital on PS4.
Can't imagine that happening now. It sold somewhere between 300k and 500k retail in its launch month while receiving an absolute beating in terms of reviews and word of mouth. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, people were also saying that sales fell off a cliff on it pretty fast. I wouldn't be surprised if it does somewhere around a million sales lifetime.
I had some fun with it but the flaws were too numerous and glaring for the game to become a big hit. Alongside the terrible PR, game length, etc., Sony is lucky it was a complete and total flop.

Yeah considering that, numbers aren't good you're right and I'm not sure digital will add that much more to that number, unless they are already counted.
Is this a Sony thing or a Square thing? I mean having it available for order on X1 but not ps4.
Implying PS4 sold over 400k when last year it was 286k seems implausible
